The Big Stuff -- February

February 14th is Valentines Day...a good reason to use our The Big Stuff Journal to write about our big loves... As you prepare to work on your Big Stuff Journal, take some time to reflect on those things that have a piece of your heart. I divided my journaling into two parts...





First, a list of things that I love. My list includes: My heavenly Father, Royce, Weston, my family -- dear friends, photography, teaching, reading, scrapbooking (of course), the beach.





Secondly, a letter to myself reminding me what loving someone or some-thing means...it focuses more on the results of my love...not just the things that I love.





I also chose for my quote this month John 3:16 which says, "For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Son -- that whosoever believes in Him shall not die, but have everlasting life."



I also thought you might like to see how I stacked some of my embellishments...I really like this trend in scrapbooking...and it is easy...just take a couple of embellishments (flowers, ghost shapes, buttons or chipboard) and stack them on top of each other to make a new embellishment. Here I took some of Heidi Swapp's ghost shapes and stacked them with a 7 Gypsies brad on top of a flower...just a nice little added touch...try it for yourself!

I would love to see your The Big Stuff Journal entries...post them here if you have a chance.



Hope you are set for a great week...

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
