Thursday's Thoughts- Bible Doodling

Bible Doodling

I want to share a new project that is dear to my heart. At Rodeo Bible Camp one of my devotion leaders introduced me to Bible doodling as a way to read my Bible more often. I've always been fairly good about reading my Bible everyday but sometimes I get busy or forget. Now that I've started doodling, my consistency has gone way up. Now I read a chapter or passage every day with the anticipation of getting to draw or paint when I'm done.

I've always loved to draw and paint, though I've never been good at it. My pictures may not be the prettiest or my hand writing the neatest, but that's not the point. The point is that I am now spending more time in God's Word.

My two favorite things to do are paint pictures depicting Bible stories and write song lyrics that remind me of the verses in the journaling margin. I use watercolor paints so that I can still see the words when they dry. I also love to use stickers and stamps for an extra touch of creativity.

If you struggle with reading your Bible consistently I highly recommend that you try doodling. All you need to get started is a Bible and a few art supplies. I would love for you to share your doodles with via social media or email.

Winter Wonderland

This past weekend the weather decided it was about time that Arkansas had some snow. When it snows there's only one thing to do, go outside and take pictures! What you got there? I'd like some range cubes please. Make sure you get my good side. Oh yeah, there you go. Now, where is my food? Mom and Jacob think this looks like Mater from Cars. My baby is getting special treatment in the form of her own bucket of range cubes. Little Caffie is hunkered down and trying to stay warm. I'm not sure she likes this weather anymore than I do. My boy looks so pretty in the snow. You got that food yet? I'm STARVING. I love trees with snow on them. The world is white And at the end of a long cold day I get some Daisy snuggles. They are the best when it's cold outside. She is forever my baby. Snow is not my favorite because it's cold and it makes chores harder to do, but everything does look prettier.

Thursday's Thoughts- Job

Let's take some time today to observe a man that represents what we should act like as Christians. His name is Job and you can read his full story in the Old Testament but I'll give you a brief overview. The book of Job opens up to a scene from God's court. The sons of God had come to present themselves and among them was Satan. God couldn't help but boast about his number one servant Job. Satan laughed and pointed out that, like all men, Job would only love God as long as his life was good. Does this sound like a challenge to you because it did to God. He promptly gave Satan permission to do whatever he wished to Job as long as he did not harm him. Job was considered rich in those days because he had livestock. In Job 1:13-19, Satan strikes and Job loses everything including all of his animals and children. The only things left in his world were his house and his wife, yet he didn't respond the way most people would. In fact, his response is truly baffling but...
