    This page came out so pretty. I love the oxide pinkish color you first used too. So vibrant, your eye is really drawn to the swoosh. Refresh is such a great word because it is so true. My soul, my whole being is refreshed when I sit with the Lord even if for only a few quiet moments. Thanks to your promptings, I have worked really diligently at setting aside quiet time with the Lord, even if only a moment here and there throughout the day. It makes a big difference, helping me to stay focused on the Lord and carry on in peace amidst chaos. As always blessings to you Carolyn and thank you. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️🥰🥰

    I struggle so much with being still before God. I long to be so, but it seems so difficult to quiet my mind in this crazy out of control world. There is always some something intruding on my thoughts, something I haven’t completed, something I need to do, someone who needs my attention. I long to be Mary in a Martha world. Just yesterday, I was so busy doing this and that, that when it was time to read God's Word, I couldn't concentrate I was so tired. Even my prayers were fragmented and undirected. My spirit was the worse for my lack of planning. Thank you for your simple but eloquent prayer and reminding all of us of the importance of purposely carving out time to spend in His presence, even if it is just to be still and feel Him near. Blessings Carolyn ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

    I love the Psalms. Patience has never been one of my strengths either, but the further I walk in the way, the easier it gets. Alone, I cannot do it, but He strengthens my resolve. Reminding myself of His past trustworthiness in my life emboldens me to persevere. I love the finished product. You always pull everything together to create a beautiful and meaningful journaling page. Thank you, and God bless you, Carolyn ❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

    Hi Carolyn. I think we've all been there, I know I have. When we are in the darkest moments of our lives and we see no light shining in the darkness. When we don't feel the presence of God. If it's just for a night or a few nights we can usually handle it, but when the Lord’s absence feels as if it is dragging on and on we can easily become depressed especially if we are not feeling well or have been up all night with a sick baby. And we cry out, "How long O Lord?" I love that you posted this and said what you did. We often, especially as new believers, but all of us feel we can't express feeling abandoned by God. We are so afraid other believers will question our faith, our love, and trust of the Lord. But believers often feel this way. It's okay to ask these things of God. If David, a man after God's own heart, can, if Elijah can feel abandoned, we can too. I love that you highlighted the prayer in v. 5/6 that can help us deal with these feelings and remind ourselves that God has been faithful in the past and will be faithful in the future. Beautiful page and timely sentiment. Blessings ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

  • @Abrushoffaith
    @Abrushoffaith26 күн бұрын

    Thank you so much. I love the Psalms and the prayers in the Psalms so much, because they give such an example of feelings we go through and what to pray, and how in the end of the Psalms most of them point right back to trusting in God. I love what you said about how we all feel this way at times. When I've cried out to God, "How Long? Help me trust you through this," He has answered that prayer of carrying me through every time. Blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️

    I love this and I have a question or 2. Is this the new Crossway Bible for Journaling? I was looking at getting that one and I noticed the copper rings....my real question is the about the bled through on the next page. What is that like? I currently art journal in a separate notebook because I am afraid to damage the Bible. Any help would be great.

  • @Abrushoffaith
    @AbrushoffaithАй бұрын

    Thanks so much! Yes, this is one of the ESV spiral journaling Bibles. I really do love them. The pages are pretty thick but I did get bleed through with the stamps. That is the case with any paper though, with stamps. The watercolor did not bleed through although you can see a faint shadow on the other side. I don’t prep my page for this though. If you don’t want any bleed through put some clear gesso on the page and let it dry before you do any art and with the way mine looks without gesso, I bet you will have minimal bleed through if any. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

    Wow Carolyn, I really like those two questions to ask myself when I am struggling with some of the lies and distractions that creep into my mind. I've especially noticed that when I am in prayer, my thoughts are often distracted away from the Lord. I know it is an attack meant to stop me from praising and bringing glory to our Savior. I'm going to try asking myself, What is the lie? and What is the truth? in the future. I think it will help me to re-focus my thoughts on Jesus and His promises. Again, thank you. We have to fight the enemy's mind games every time they rear their ugly heads! Blessings ❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

    Such a beautiful way to illustrate Psalm 139, a Psalm I'm often drawn to in times of fear and trouble. It is so reassuring to know that our Heavenly Father always has His hand upon us, that He formed us and knows us. That there is no place we go that He is not already present. "Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Amen Lovely page and meditations, Carolyn. Thank you, and all His peace and blessings be upon you ❤❤🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
