I am so, so excited to FINALLY be sharing a post with you that I have been dying to post. A few months ago I began noticing these gorgeous journaling entries in people’s BIBLES on Instagram!! I oohed and ahhhed over them and eventually, several months later, decided to buy my own Christmas present: the ESV Journaling Bible.

Here is the Bible I bought on Amazon: ESV Single Column Journaling Bible (Brown, Flap with Strap)

Look at the margins on these pages!! I love taking notes, writing dates beside meaningful verses, writing short prayers, highlighting and more in my Bible. I love that someday my kids will be able to look back on my Bible and see that I loved God’s Word, that I read and prayed through it, that I used it regularly.

Updated: I am collecting all my Bible journaling posts here so you can see them all in one place!

I will not always do fancy pages, but I love that I now have the SPACE to do so if I wish! For me, this is like the perfect combination of Bible reading, scrapbooking, journaling and praying all together!! Oh and Project Life!! This combines a LOT of my loves into one place.

Daily {mostly daily} I share Scriptures that I am reading and praying. There are printable calendars of the Scriptures I am Praying HERE. I would love for you to join me on Instagram with the hashtag #prayingthescriptures as we pray God’s Word together!!

Tools for Journaling

Journaling Bible {I did choose to go the real leather route because I’ve been through 3 Bibles in the last 3 years.}
I share my favorite PENS and HIGHLIGHTERS in this post!
Micron Ink Pen Set – I cannot believe I hadn’t found these til a month ago!! You can write in your Bible and IT DOESN’T BLEED THROUGH THE PAGES!!! Hallelujah and amen!
Pigma Brush Pen Set – these will give you a thicker stroke, if you want to do more calligraphy type writing. I’m still trying to learn more lettering styles but I definitely love the look of these markers!
Prismacolor Professional Quality Watercolor Pencil – these are so cool. You can just use them like regular colored pencils, but you can also just barely wet and smear like water color! I want to get better at this skill too!
Letters/Numbers Stickers – this is the scrapbooker in me but I LOVE adding words with stickers to make things stand out! It’s such an EASY way to add a creative and unique touch!
Rubber Date Stamp – of course you can write the date, but I love using the stamp, just adds another dimension and gives it something unique
No Bleed Highlighters – this is a page with lots of options for NO BLEED highlighters. So far, I haven’t purchased any of these yet…but I hope to soon.
