I am OVER the moon to have some AMAZING guests over the next couple of weeks for our journaling bible series! Janice is someone I have gotten to know a little better through a handful of emails and I have to say she is just about the SWEETEST person you will EVER meet. So let’s hear a little bit about her process!
“I’ve been a notetaker all my life. So naturally, I have stacks of notes everywhere. Stacks on top of stacks. When I saw Shanna’s Instagram post on how she was taking sermon notes using the paper53 app, I thought it would be a great way to lessen my stacks. Then Shanna posted about her Journaling Bible. I was instantly inspired!!
I asked my family for a Journaling Bible for Mother’s Day and only recently started using it to record and document my thoughts and reflections. I love how there is so much room to take notes. In the Old Testament poetic books, you can write on both sides of the text. I am also recording special verses, prayer requests, song lyrics, notes from articles and books, devotional and quiet time main ideas. The possibilities are endless.
I find myself diggin’ deeper into His word and asking myself, “What is the Lord wanting to teach me with this scripture, in this season of my life?” I’m taking sermon notes differently now and like Jil Larson mentioned, “I am now so focused during sermons.” And my stacks are getting shorter.”
Janice, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your process with us, I know it is such a personal journey but you have inspired me and I am sure so many others with opening up to us! THANK YOU!!
Send Janice some love:
