this month is seriously flying by in a tornado-fast whirlwind. but i'm working my very hardest to carve out time every single day to be in the Word.... because i want to be a bible nerd when i grow up! and the illustrated faith "word nerd" devo is making those childlike hopes+dreams come true!
here's a peek into my first two weeks of this devotional....
♥♥♥
the focus for week one was the first chapter of the gospel of john. we were prompted to read through the familiar words & pick out or take note of something that we hadn't previously caught in prior readings.
since i was still fresh off of the created to create 2 kit, i immediately had all the heart eyes for the first five verses, but specifically verses three & four....
God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him. the Word gave life to everything that was created....
L O V E!!!! i documented this page in my journaling bible & spent the rest of the week in my word nerd DIY booklet [see the full work up, hyperlapse process video & details HERE].
my intentions with these monthly DIY booklets are to always bring a prayer to God before i dig any deeper -- give over anything that may hold me back from truly connecting with Him through this creative art worship. i used a tip-in from the faith>fear collection & sewed it on a piece of paper from the gratitude documented 6x8 paper pad.
i am loving this month's prompt/journaling cards that simply have a bible verse for us to freely work through. i'm using these cards for translation journaling [super helpful for scripture recall] & i just run them straight through my pretty mint typecast typewriter. i use my BFF google to pull up multiple translations of the verse -- easy peasy!
i also truly enjoy finding creative ways to work through each of the little paper scraps & tip-ins i include in my DIY booklet at the beginning of the month. i never know what will be on my future heart as i create the booklet, but i love having all of the extra little spaces to document & create little memories of this devotion.
oh & you know i had to put a chicken on it ;)
♥♥♥
week two brought us to the story of joshua & jericho [joshua chapters 2, 5 + 6] & our journaling card prompted more study in this book in chapter 1 verse 8....
study this book of instruction completely. meditate on it day & night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. only then will you prosper & succeed in all you do.
more fun scripture translating was had as i banged out letters on my typewriter.
weeks one & two in the word nerd devotion have been SO amazing & i can't wait to jump into the next two weeks!!! have you grabbed up your kit -- and if so, are you NERDING OUT?!
