This time of year you can find composition books for 25 cents or even 10 cents as the stores (like Walmart) discount to clear out their overage of school supplies. If you want to just play around with it and find your style this is an inexpensive way to get started. The composition books come in a variety of styles like dot grid, wide or narrow margin, and even blank ones. Also, some of the thrift stores give away Bibles (Salvation Army I know gives them away for free) or sell them at a very low cost. You can find some that could be used in Bible Journaling. They could be taken apart and used in many ways for those who don't have a printer. I would love to see more Bible-related videos. Blessings.......

When using Miscellanies I would add an arrow moving forward or to the right on your Proverb M001 page at the top. This would indicate you have another Proverb note as you mentioned on let’s say page 15 or page 70 wherever you are in your studies. Then on page 15 let’s say you would add an arrow moving to the left with a page number to indicate you have a prior comment on the topic. This type of threading helps you to find more easily what God inspires you to write. I hope this helps, if you have better ideas please post.

That’s a fantastic idea!!!

I would really like a series of videos where you "held my hand" using this method. I find it very intriguing and an exciting system. Any book of the Bible would be great!

Oh my goodness. I’m just starting to acquaint myself with the full scripture this year but this is literal Bible Study goals and what I eventually want to do.

Oh my, totally blown away by this !! I’ve been searching for a Bible study system and this is amazing! I would love to see more of this! Love your videos, God bless you !

I don’t do much Bible journaling. I do commentaries, reviews, and essays on a particular Sunday school lesson! I’ve been teaching my Sunday school since 2016.

Simply awesome! I was praying to God for a method for my bible study notes using bullet journal because I was lost but obsessed with bullet journaling , and here it is! Praise God! Thank you so very much for your video and explaining in detail it’s very much appreciated! Now I’m one of you subscribers. God bless you! 😃

You are so blessed as a teacher. Love learning from you. Very thorough. Love it!

Been watching your videos for a few weeks now. They are so helpful. Thank you so much for what you do!

I’d definitely enjoy watching your Bible study series.

My ladies' Bible study did this book for a Bible study a couple of years ago!!!! Jen was really great at explaining her methods. Thanks for this video to help with journaling. It was very helpful. God Bless you!!!

Great idea to do more study video sessions! Go for it🤗!

Thanks for the video. I love Jen Wilkins and her book has elevated my Bible Study. I love to study the word and am working on feeling confident in sharing. Sharing with each other our bible study methods is so fun. Great Job and I look forward to seeing more videos.

This is so awesome I just watched this video you talked about. This is so exciting I'm so happy that there are video like this around.

This is awesome! I just ordered a bullet journal that has an index and page numbers. I had also watched the Pastor’s intro to this cross referencing system and I loved it. Then I saw your video and I love the extras you included like the key index. I plan to do the same and look forward to seeing more of your videos. We begin a study of Acts at BSF in the Fall and I had already ordered the Acts ESV Journal and will be diving deep into Acts using this system. I also have that very same KJV journaling Bible you have. I just love it. Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely love this idea/video. So many ideas are floating around in my head from this video...... *running to my journal now*. Can’t wait for all the video ideas to manifest!

The Jonathan Edwards method is actually a common practice of the time called a "commonplace book." They were indexed in different ways with Johnathan Edwards indexing pages and John Locke using alphabetical indexes by topic. Anyway bullet journals were called commonplace books in the past.

Elyssa, Thank you very much for taking the time to elaborate on your system(s).! I was super stoked that you had seen Edwards' misc system and its bullet journal ish relevance. Also, in looking at your pens I was amped to see that the paper mate inkjoy had added colors. (Old guy/lefty/male that smears other good pens) I had just bought ESV wide margin and was looking for a good system of recording the different translations and God's goodness, and "randomly" your video appeared. So thank you very much for a well laid out video articulating the above. God Bless your future works

Wow! Browsed your channel and now binging! Hahaha. Thank you for new knowledge on Bible study bullet journaling!!! To see more is to know deeper on the Word. On God. ❤️

This is what I was looking for. I was trying to figure out how I could use your original bullet journal method to incorporate all the insight I get from my small group study sessions and suddenly I see this video! You have given me a blessing! I would also definitely enjoy the additional series you spoke about. I find hearing others thoughts on how the word is speaking to them incredibly enlightening in my own time with Him. I look forward to what more you have to teach!

This was an excellent video! You are gifted and I would live to follow a Video Bible Series, any book. Your Bible note taking information is amazing and you have inspired me.

GREAT video! I recently started my reconnection with faith and want to dive into the Bible. I also like to take notes and would love to document my thoughts and other discoveries along this journey.. BUT it seemed like a daunting task, being that the bible is SO MASSIVE. So you can imagine my excitement when i found a solution to my dilemma - both happy & blessed God put this video in my path. Thank you looking forward to your next video...

This is brilliant; I'm going to have to search your site for an update to see what you changed, what you kept, etc.! Thanks!

*runs off like a kid on Christmas morning to begin this set up, immediately* :D

Ingenious!

Excellent video. I watched it twice already.

Thank you for sharing this method of note taking. It's interesting and also neat! I read a few of the comments, and didn't see an answer to your question about whether or not you would use a different M# to continue making notes on a previous M-note. I watched Johnathan Edwards' video and he uses a new (the next in line) M# with reference to the M# he previously wrote, as well as referencing the new M# at the bottom of the page of the original note. Hope this helps. This is fabulous! I'm excited to get started! Thanks again!

I really enjoyed this video. I, too, am a nerd for The Word. I would love to walk through a study with you. I am actually working my way through Job but I enjoy your method. My mind is spiralling in a good way on how to journal. Please do a study! Also, I love the idea of a fresh Bible w a consistent note taking trend. I have been struggling with what method to use in note taking. I really want to get the Exhaustive Concordance for reference because I love learning...again, Word nerd. Thankful for your obedience in sharing your love of studyung God's Word. Thank you :)

This is an absolutely wonderful turn to do bible study notes. I hope you take this further, as using this method is what I like instead of making constant notes all over the bible's pages. Combine this with a good color coding method to underline important verses would allow a deeper study of God's Word. I plan to start this combined method the beginning of the year. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you. 🙏🙏

Thank you for this so much! I have been trying to come up with a way to take better notes.

I truly love your videos. Please do a study session using the esv scripture journals and your note taking system. TFS God Bless.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your system. In the index when you want to add notes later yet connect them within the index for example MISC 1.1 MISC 1.2 then put a symbol next to the original MISC1 ** to let you know you have expanded notes on the subject scattered within your notes😍😍😍

I'm know I'm late to the comment party but if you made this video right now, I'd say please yes! I'm. Going to watch the continued videos I see after this. But this is a wonderful idea. I don't have big margins but mine is well read, marked from classes and studies and the bullet journal is the best to sort what I already have and more that I don't have room for. I have a well worn bible. I'd love to have your concordance. You and I are on the same page of dissecting to learn! I love this video!!

I need to start using audiobooks more. After having spent many sleepless nights reading about the salinity levels in ocean water I find reading a struggle nowadays and simply don't read often enough for sure but want to do more Bible Study for sure. With working so many hours per day I find my free time so limited and find it would be so useful in many aspects of my life to listen to books every day. I own the Strong's Concordance as well and love it. I bought it at Barnes and Noble.

Thank yo so much for such an incredibly instructive video - please keep them coming :)

I literally lol’d when you said print your own bible out. But good idea! You could also do that as a print as you learn type of thing. You could also print it out in a different translation bc a lot of people don’t have different versions just laying around.

Girl you have no idea! I have been basically "winging it" in a cheap bible waiting to find a system that works for how I want to go into DEPTH...I'm sorry girls the S.O.A.P. is ok but this is genius! Thank you so so much for this content. You have definitely earned a new sub here :) I am also definitely going to be going to your channel to see if you ended up doing the study videos. And if not my vote is a yes! This is the kind of content I really enjoy. DEPTH IN THE WORD OF YAH.

This is brilliant! I've been looking for a better way to house my own Miscellany Scripture studies and this is IT! I'm planning on setting up and using mine tho for topcial Scripture studies. I'm also considering including a future log (from standard bujo method) to use as a dumping ground for Scripture topic ideas I might want to consider covering in my Miscellany book, but I'm not sure if it would be best to put that log in the back of the notebook. Anyway, thanks for sharing this.

Would love that! Please do it. Thanks

Your KZread is really good and certainly added an additional twist of Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies, awesome. Have been considering adopting this method of note-taking so that all my notes are not electronic. Thanks for putting this together, really consumed a lot of information, ... am now on the hunt for a well-liked Bible (my preference is the NASB and ESV), if you know of any (does not have to be a wide margin as you mentioned) please let me know, thanks again.

Love to see more bible content! New subscriber.

Love this! When I have a note to put in the margins I circle the verse number and start the note with that number. I found that boxes or circles got too bulky but of there was nothing I wouldn't realize I had a note. The smaller circles make it so o can read the text without getting distracted or it becoming hard to read (especially if you are reading aloud for a small group or something) but I would have the visual cue that I had a note for it in the margins

@ElyssaNalaniTV

I've never done that but it makes sense! Yep visual cues are invaluable in note taking 😁

I would love a overview of using the Concordance also 😇

Hi Elyssa very nice video. When continuing a note I.E. miscellanies M0001 at the end of the note reference the continuing miscellanie M0021. Working that way you will never loose track and can have as many notes as you want. Often going back and revisiting notes rereading verses, chapters or books of the Bible you will want to add to your notes. In the TOC you can list M0021 as continuation M0001 then the title and when you run out of space for M0001 there is the reference continued in M0021 etc. etc. God Bless

That would be so great if you did a bible study so that we could do it along with you!

I found myself obsessing over taking bible notes and highlighting, doing bullets, making keys etc etc and I would forget the passage. It’s like the notes became the focus. Writing the whole passage is too much. What I found works for me is reading a passage, summarizing what it means and then writing how I can apply it to life.

if you did a study with me video I'd be totally interested - that's amazing! I'd love to see this system in action.

Elyssa Nalani Do you think it would work to keep sermon notes in this notebook, also? I, too, was introduced to Jonathan Edwards in school (though not until college) and now that you’ve shared about his spiritual journal process, think it’s a real shame that we didn’t learn about that, too. What a treasure it would have been to have started something like this earlier in one’s Christian life. I watched the pastor’s video that you linked to and will also be rewatching his video. I need to take notes on both your video and his.

Oh I think keeping sermon notes in a miscellanies notebook would totally work! If you wanted to get real fancy, you could use a different color ink for sermon notes that way when you’re flipping through pages or scanning your index, your brain will pick those notes out. Just a thought! My brain thinks in color codes 😁 Yeah I think that the habit of journaling and record keeping is such a lost art nowadays and you’re absolutely right, it would be such a wonderful thing to do as early as possible in one’s Christian walk.

Yesterday I made a comment, wanted to say some more about your video and how You Bullet Journal (MISCELLANIES). Hopefull to keep this short, (yea right), I have digging deep into the Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies note system. I started to listen to a few people on the system, also read some articles. This system is so awesome, so I started to use it, BUT then I discovered for my style of studying God's word this took so much time away from actually reading more of my Bible. So, I tweaked it just for me (I think when I do this I am able to use it productivity). So, I saw another gentlemen, his name escapes me, but he simplified this system to meet his needs, I guess simplified is the wrong word. anyway So I changed it a little more and used it the way he used it, with some of my personal changes. When I started using it, I loved it, until I saw your video. I am telling you the ideas you gave me, a light bulb went off in my head. FIRST OF ALL: I am impressed with your wisdom, I have found myself also writing to much in my Journal, taking away from my bible reading. I am so sure that others that use the pure Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies system didn't have this problem, but I certainly did. Also, I never thought about BUJO, I use to BUJO, but I like the way you incorportated it to this I really like. Now, its not because I don't have the time, because looking at Matthew Everhard, I liked but he somewhere else that I am not (preacher, teach etc...) and others as well as you. I get distracted so easily, for this reason I have incorporated you style with my style. Mind you I have taken everyone else and yours to make this system my own. Thank, You very much and may God richly bless you.

Yes I’m very interested in this it would help me to understand the Bible more. I want to get more in depth of the Bible. I only read the KJV. Plus I need to figure out how to study the Bible more.

I do this on a digital bullet journal on my iPad with Apple Pencil. I’ve ditched paper entirely in all aspects of my life. I keep digital notebooks and planners. I still have my paper Bibles. But, I use the Blue Letter Bible app on split screen on my iPad with the Goodnotes app mostly. So, I can add pages anywhere I want in my Bible Study notebook and I can link to pages and all of that. So, you can link your index, add more sections if you want, etc. options are endless. And since I have the Apple Pencil I can write directly on my screen and I got a matte screen protector to make it feel like writing on paper. Going digital has saved me so much money. Not printing pictures just copy and paste them in. Not buying paper stickers, if you want stickers you can buy digital ones cheap and reuse forever! You don’t have to buy notebooks, markers, highlighters, pens, supplies, etc. So, it saves me money, it’s endlessly customizable and changeable, and I don’t have to get out a ton of supplies to study, just my iPad and maybe a paper Bible if I feel the need. So, I just wanted to leave this comment in case anyone wants to do your method, but digitally :) For some it works wonders, and others will always prefer paper. I thought I’d always prefer paper, but I made the swap and couldn’t be happier! Both are great! Swapping to digital costs money to begin with if you don’t already have an iPad and Apple Pencil. But, I was a stationary and planner hoarder, so I’m definitely saving money and space in my house!

I just watched Matthew's video on the miscellanies too and it lead me here THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO! I need something like this, my study felt like it was good, but too much all over the place. Btw I too was wondering how I would add to my note and it wasn't making sense in my mind to call an "add too miscellany" by the next miscellany number, so I got the idea to call it, M001-2, or something like that. Thanks again!

I just came across your channel and decided to use this system. What I would do if had a continuation, I would give it the same number as the original, only write it in a different color ink to let me know it's a continuation, and write the "M" number in my Bible in that same color ink as the continuation, rather than going to the next number . That way the different color ink would stand out and you would know in your Bible that it's a continuation. Hope that makes sense. BTW - I love your channel!

Johnathan Edwards, also use to clip notes in his jacket!

Another helpful tip, there is an app called Bible with Strong's Concordance. This app has the KJV with hyperlinks to the Strong's in the text. It is difficult to read the text because of all the links. However if you are reading your bible, you can easily pull up thw text you are reading and have access to the Strong's.

I would love to see you do a bible study and show how you do your miscellaneous bullet journal. This is really interesting! I've been looking for a better study method in my bible studying. Wonderful thank you.
