It's a bit messy, a crazy mix of colors, textures, scraps of life, and my handwriting covering the pages in verses from the Bible and my prayers. I really like that it isn't perfect and it's a bit raw. (I was recently inspired by an artist who works in this way!) ]
Now the how-to:
I started by collecting paper that reminded me of areas of life (friends, time, art, joy, family, getting married, health, growing, etc..) and added ribbon, stickers & pictures from magazines to the paper using a stapler. Then I punched holes in all of the pages (as well as a piece of matt board for the back cover) and put rings in as the "binding".
It's been such a sweet time to look for verses and read the TRUTH about each situation. I write in the verse so I can come back to it and meditate on it. Then I write out my prayers to the Lord. Some amazing verses I've read recently : 1 John 3:1, Psalm 62:8, Psalm 61:1, Psalm 43, Psalm 51.
Thanks always for your support and prayers. What amazing verses of the Bible have you read recently?! I'd be so encouraged to know! How's your Monday?
