The Gift of Bible Journaling {+ A Dayspring Deal} #IllustratedFaith #DaySpring #IF_tistheseason #Biblejournaling

**I received this kit as a member of Dayspring's Illustrated Faith Launch Team. Post contains affiliate links. All thoughts are my own. 

When I first started Bible journaling, I honestly thought that this was going to a a fun little hobby for me. Nothing more, nothing less. I already had a relationship with God, and while I was excited to have a new way to express it, I don't think I realized what a true impact it would bring on that relationship or my faith. I did not truly know just what a gift I was being handed.

With this season of gifts in the air and the end of the year drawing near, I cannot help but reflect upon that, and today I wanted to share some of those gifts that it has given to me and why I am so passionate about sharing it with others:

The Gift of Worship.

As I said, I would never have imagined I could use help in this area, I've always loved to worship. Still, is there ever such thing as too much? Journaling gave me an all new creative outlet that I didn't know I was missing.

The Gift of Faith.

I've been a Christian for a long and I've always considered myself as someone who had a strong faith, so I was really surprised at just how much journaling impacted my faith. With each page, I found my relationship with God growing stronger.



The Gift of Peace.

Journaling for me is such a stress relief. I can color and draw, pray and sometimes even cry... and leave it all on those pages. In this year, this is perhaps the greatest gift I could have asked for.

The Gift of Sharing. 

I've never been one to shy away from talking about Jesus both here on my blog and in my personal life, but in the past I've never really been sure where to begin. How do I bring up that conversation, what do I have to offer to it? With journaling, I have something to share that I'm passionate about.



The Gift of Friendship.

Perhaps one of the greatest and most unexpected gifts that journaling has brought me personally is the gift of friendship. Soon after I started, I came across a new group just starting- a Bible journaling happy mail group. This was a group of women whose sole goal was to bless others. And while it may have started with that intention, it has in time become so much more than that. This group of Christian women that I have been blessed to co-admin through this past year truly have become wonderful friends. I can depend on them to bounce journaling ideas off of, to pray for one another and to strengthen our faiths together. They are proof that God can take something as small as a Facebook group and truly use it to impact lives, and for that I am very thankful.



With all of these gifts that Bible journaling has brought me, I cannot think of a greater gift to give this Christmas season. It is a gift with purpose, a gift that means something. It is a gift that may just be what someone on your list has been needing.
