Scripture Journal {love}


I've been obsessed with scripture journals for the past couple of years.  

Obsessed, I tell you.    

I'm an avid note taker, and have notebooks full of my notes from church meetings 
and General Conference.  I have also kept a personal journal since I was a 
little girl and have thousands of pages of my life recorded.  

But I just couldn't seem to start a scripture journal.  

My problem?  
I let myself become too overwhelmed.  

I worried so much about the HOWS 
(do I start out with a topics journal?  a chapters journal? how do I begin?)  
that I missed the whole point of what a scripture journal is for...
It's to record my thoughts and insights as I study.

Recently I buckled down and decided to just GO FOR IT. 




The method that works best for me (so far) is to just write as I read.  
If a scripture stands out to me, I write down my thoughts.

It has been wonderful, and I've already learned so much.

Makes me wish I had started one long before now.

If you're looking for ideas for your own scripture journal, 
There are loads of great ideas from some wonderful bloggers.

Do you have a scripture journal?
I'd love to hear what works for you!
