Bible Marginalia- Your personal IEP

#6 in the Bible Marginalia Series

However we may become connected
 to Bible Marginalia-

 whether it is sermon notes, a prayer, 

words that are touching your spirit,

or a visual to highlight a Bible verse-

 each journey will be different.

We all start in a different place, 

and the order will be as life unveils for each of us.

 It is like my personal IEP- Individual Education Plan.

Holy Spirit Designed and Holy Spirit Scripted.

When we returned from our pilgrimage

 to Israel in Jan 2014, 

I wanted to spend time reading in one of the Gospels.

 I chose the Gospel of John.

Then a couple of weeks later,

 I saw that Ann Voskamp was inviting all

 to join her in the memorization of specific verses

 from the Gospel of John

 over the course of the year- 2014.

I printed them up and made them into a little booklet.

Propped them on the window sill above the kitchen sink.

Then mid-summer, as I was reading the book-

Writing in the Margins,

 I thought it would also be helpful 

to actually place the graphically

 designed Bible verse right in my Bible.

I have decided that Bible Marginalia 

is not necessarily only about creating

 my own art additions.

Nothing better than the work in these small squares- 

simply print off, and back with scrapbooking paper

 and add in with washi tape.

Simple to flip up to read beneath the add-ins.

A quick glance and the words are brought to memory again.

This is my Bible that I have been using 

for over 15 years.

Enjoying the visual additions here. 

Spending time in my journaling Bible-

more on that in future posts.

Here is the site where you can sign in/subscribe
 to the Freebies section on Ann's blog
 to get the Bible verses.

Printables for the Gospel of John

 I probably will not do very many
 books of the Bible this way-
(just so I can still close my Bible)
but is has certainly been a gift in the reading of 
the Gospel of John.
My Journey. His Way.
