Scripture Journal

So a couple of years ago I learned about scripture journals. I came across the idea somehow and was led to Shannon's website where she shares the why and how of keeping scripture journals. (Hers are beautiful and somewhat intimidating!)
So I gave myself an empty book and pens for Christmas. I dutifully numbered the pages and wrote topics at the top of each page and then I did nothing much with it. I did enter in some quotes I liked and doodled a bit here and there, but for some reason I am/was scared to do the studying and actually fill those blank pages up.
This year, I've made a goal to become more consistent at not only reading the scriptures but I want to actually study them and record what I learn so that I can become a "sister scriptorian". I want to learn to feast on them, and liken them to myself and I want to be able to teach my children from them and teach them to love them.

I have noticed in the last few months that Cambria's scriptures look much more well-used than mine do and mine are significantly older. I know she is being taught to use and search them in seminary and for some reason I want mine to look like hers. Full of quotes and notes and well-worn pages.

I have recently come across another website where Allison K shares how she keeps scripture and conference journals. (Hers are truly works of art, as she is an artist by trade, and entirely intimidating) I would love mine to look as lovely as hers, but I don't see that happening. However I can glean, from these websites, ideas that I can use to make my journal(s) my own and make them a treasure not only for myself but for those who come after me.

Here's to a much more scripture-filled 2014.

Good Things
So many resources to study the word of God
Others who share their wisdom and creativity
A conversation with a son who is at an exciting time of life. College. So many decisions to make and so much life ahead. I'm excited to see what he does with his life!
