Journaling Bible…and to say it has revolutionized my Bible study experience is an understatement. My introductory blog posts this spring were met with such enthusiasm and some great questions, so I thought it might be worthwhile to do a lil’…
I’m not perfect. But sometimes I try to be. And that is one futile battle. Salvador Dali said it best: Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it. Yet even though I know that in my head, oftentimes my actions and heart-attitude reflect otherwise. And perfectionism can be paralyzing, lemmetellya. It can stifle creativity. Confuse our motives….

Here’s a glimpse at three of my journal entries from this week’s installment of The Lil Journal Project. Day 29 called us to dedicate an entire page to a quote; I spilled over onto two. 🙂 Inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it. -Madeleine L’Engle I first read this quote in college while…
So, I know it has been a few weeks since I’ve posted on Ashley Hackshaw’s Lil Journal Project. I admit that I fell off the wagon during week 4 (too many other fun projects calling my name). And Ashley took off week 5 to focus on a few things she was working on. However, the…
This past week, Mark and I ventured south to Fort Myers to visit my grandparents, a.k.a. Mor Mor and Pop Pop, and their precious kitty, Ana. Our time together was so wonderful. In the past, our visits have been overshadowed by this sense of urgency to savor every moment since it might be another year…
Week 2 in the Lil Journal Project was a walk down memory lane. Here are my first three entries to share for inspiration and with my link-up friends at Lil Blue Boo. Day 6 started off with creating a map of my childhood neighborhood. (This was the home where I grew up until age seven…
