31 Days of Faith Art Journaling

Scripture and Inspiration for Your Soul

Woo Hoo! Count Down to  Day 1……December 10, 2013…..Yes, Tuesday !!! It’s fast
approaching. Gather your supplies and find you a little nook. You can dedicate
as little or as much time as you desire. Remember it’s about taking the
process….So you can begin in the morning finish in the evening. Or you may begin
and have to revisit in a day or two. It’s up to you.

Remember this is your art journal. You can journal along with me or chose another topic or focal point. I will be sharing different techniques to help us along.

One of my favorite Art Journalers is Tammye over at Daisy Yellow Art.
You can visit her blog for a more comprehensive list.


I am a Mixed Media Faith Art Journaler. I will be using wet and dry media along with  techniques like collaging with found paper. Use whatever you have on hand or add to your supplies as we go along. But it’s not necessary for this journey to stock pile your kitchen table with lots of art supplies.

The Basic Supplies you will need are:

Paper – Water color paper, mixed media, art paper
Gesso
Markers, Pens, Pencils – Something to write, draw or doodle with
Paints – watercolor, acrylics, or craft paints
Paint brushes
Old gift card
Adhesives
Parchment paper
I am truly excited and still bursting at the seams with JOY! I hope you decide to go on the journey by sharing, encouraging and participating! The Lord is driving this mission and I am being obedient. I pray this journey opens our hearts to more of Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank you for making me special. Thank you that I am little different and that You are ok with that. I praise You because I was made in Your image. So, I honor You with this journey. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Getting Closer....31 Days of Faith Art Journaling

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

We’re getting ready for the 31 Days of Faith Art Journaling to begin Tuesday, December 10, 2013. More about that date later.  I want to encourage you to follow along or to join in. We are going to keep this light and have fun. It doesn’t matter if you can or cannot draw. It’s not about drawing. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done anything creative in the last decade. It’s not important if you don’t understand color mixing, still life or abstract paintings. What we are doing is greater than that.

What is Faith Art Journaling?

Faith Art Journaling has a different meaning for everyone. Yet, there is always one common thread…your faith in God. There are many ways in which we express our faith and our thoughts on faith. Journaling is one. Journaling involves writing your thoughts. Though there are more ways to journal. Art involves expressions using media such as paints, drawings, inks, collage and more. Through Faith Art Journaling we will embellish our words with whatever creative energy that flows out of us. So, it’s about the process, which could involve your morning devotion, your afternoon praise, and your evening prayer.

You can journal your thoughts, feelings, prayers, prayer requests, answered prayers, sermon notes, testimonies, praise reports, favorite inspirational quotes…….whatever your heart desires. Also, you may create a visual journal with collage pictures or your own drawing. It’s up to you.

So let go of any inhibitions…. Let's walk this together.

Let God be God….

Just Do It!

Be blessed!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise You for a fearless spirit. I desire to honor You with my talents. Lord, decrease me so that You may increase. In Jesus Name.

31 Days of Faith Art Journaling

Scripture and Inspiration for Your Soul

For the past several months I have been contemplating a new project. Finding time for art journaling can be a challenge . But I decided to do something creative every day. It's amazing how 10-15 minutes a day can make such a difference.

I realize it's about the process. The art will let me know when it's complete. When I journal in my Faith Art Journal, I speak to God. I feel an unbelievable connection to the creative Spirit God has placed in me.

I believe we all possess that same creative Spirit. So, often we are so critical of ourselves or we simply don't trust the little voice. I have experienced that recently.

I wanted to share Faith Art Journaling as part of the creative ministry I have been blessed with. Though I have fun and love teaching, a louder voice was telling me , "You haven't done this long enough." "Who cares about the process?" "Your health won't allow you to commit." "You are not an artist." "Who are you that anyone would listen?"

I decided to wait saying to myself, "I'll wait until everything lines up." As we all know, things don't always line up. I was reminded during Bible study while we studied the book of Romans that God doesn't expect us to get it all together, and then come to Him. There is much to be learned in our walk.

As the weeks went on, the idea wouldn't leave. Why not? I prayed and The Lord answered. "It's not your idea! It's mine.Your gifts belong to Me." What a blessed reminder! So, here I am a vessel being used while The Lord continues to develop me. My heart is open.

I am preparing for a journey of 31 Days of Faith Art Journaling. It's going to be fun and life changing.

Come along with me!

 

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please bless the work of my hands. Help me to stay focused. Lead me and I will follow. In Jesus Name. Amen.
