The reading plan enables me to be accountable to read and enjoy a daily connected, focused time with the Lord. For the last couple months, I’ve been following the monthly Bible reading challenge for a scheduled, focused topical reading plan. For me personally, the art and journaling is a supplement to daily reading God’s Word. My goals for Bible art journaling are different than some other artists. (I’ll be honest with you I don’t let the kids use them!!) I ordered my Prismacolor premier colored pencils and fell in love with them right away. This friend is frugal like me and I thought they must be pretty awesome if she loved them this much.
The first set I have is a fine line color set. So much so, that today I plan to order another set. 5 mm for fine control and 1.2 mm for the bullet tip (thicker lines.)For defined control, I really LOVE Micron pens. But you can always place a piece of paper behind your work. The Bible I use has thicker pages and I don’t have to worry about ink bleeds so much. I have found that the Zigwriter doesn’t bleed through the pages, especially if you are using thinner pages. But I know plenty of folks who use Sharpies.
#ONLINE BIBLE JOURNAL TRIAL#
After some trial and error, I discovered a couple favorite ink pens.For black ink, thick and thin lines, I love the Zigwriter.If perfectly straight lines give you a focus on Jesus, then zoom in, Sister. (A truly technical term, huh?) But if you want a straightedge, go for it! This is about how you work and how you function. But since my goal is to spend time in the Word each day and focus on what God has for me in those few minutes, I don’t want to be perfectly picky. Some of you will hate me for this some of you will love me. Ok, seriously? I don’t use a straightedge. Since I’m not a big artist and just learning, then I pencil a LOT! I just use a regular number 2 mechanical pencil, nothing fancy. Otherwise, keep in mind that you don’t have to journal in your Bible, a separate blank journal will work just as well. Tons of folks were asking about my Bible when I started posting a few color scratches on my Instagram and Facebook feeds. I chose to write an entire post addressing the various journaling Bibles and which one I enjoy the best, so if you want to purchase a journaling Bible, check it out. After months of trial and error, today I’m sharing my favorite Bible journaling tools. So artist’s tools probably wouldn’t work for me. I wrote about the reasons I learned to love Bible journaling. And I decided to find the best resources and tools that would work for me.
So that’s how I began Bible journaling. Gradually I started learning a little more and little more. I love reading and studying the Bible, but I needed something to help me focus on the Word and enjoy a little more time meditating on it. However, I have stuck with the Bible art journaling because I found myself fighting distraction and fatigue while spending time in God’s Word. I first began Bible art journaling in May this year and let’s just be honest, I’m not the kind of artist who can draw or paint the seventh wonder of the world. Over the last few weeks, I’ve received several emails from readers asking about my favorite Bible journaling tools.
