Here’s an important point about Bible journaling and lectio divina…mine will look differently than yours. If examined closely trying to follow the letter of the lectio divina law, mine may not even fully qualify as true lectio divina…I was sitting in bed (although I’ve not read any rules that say you can’t sit in bed), with a toddler all over me…that’s my lectio divina for today. Some days it will look a little “holier” if that’s a term I want to use. I might use my prie-dieu some days, I might sit in a quiet chair or the front porch while my children run around the yard. Any one of those places will be perfectly fine for my quite time with God.
Bible Journaling in the New Year
I mentioned briefly in yesterday’s Daybook Online Journal post about thoughts and ideas I had for us to share the scriptures in the New Year. My thoughts are centered on practicing lectio divina alongside Bible journaling. So let’s define the two and see how they will pair nicely with each other as we begin our Bible Journaling in the New Year.
Daybook Online Journal: After Christmas 2014
Welcome to my Daybook Online Journal: After Christmas 2014. This Daybook Online Journal post is longer than usual; I share where I see the writing going this year and a tease about my word for 2015.
Daily Advent Devotional for Women Day 24
A reflection from the Daily Advent Devotional for Women Day 24. If this world knew Jesus, Christmas would only be beginning tomorrow. After the gifts were opened, the turkey eaten and the trash carried out to the curb…the season of Christmas would just be starting.
Daily Advent Devotional for Women Day 22
A meditation from the Daily Advent Devotional for Women–Day 22…When we crawl in bed at night, what’s the mathematical equation to find the area between us and our husband? Him hanging off the right side plus us hanging off the left equals a span of separation not only physical, but emotional, and spiritual as well. What would happen if we just reached out yonder, across crumpled sheets and through flannel pajamas and touched his arm as we fell asleep? Would that be the first step to help fill that void?
Daybook Online Journal: Four Days Before Christmas
Welcome to my weekly Sunday post, Daybook Online Journal. This is my weekly post keeping up with my day to day…week to week…year to year. Although I share a “Captured” moment here, I also capture bits of my day on my Instagram account. (Or sometimes a mini rant like last night when I went to pick up my daughter from work at midnight and people were still shopping!) If you have a blog and write an online journal type of post, leave the link in the comments. If you don’t blog, I would love for you to answer the prompts in the comment section. It’s fun getting a peek into others day to day.
