Bible Journaling on My Faith Cards

It's been several years since I started making my faith cards,

and I know God used this project to prepare me for and get me through the biggest tragedy of my life.  

In 2015, most every day, I took notes from my daily devotions by writing scripture on Project Life Cards (affiliate).

I had these in my scrapbooking stash so why not? 

You can find photos of my scripture cards on Instagram under #myfaithcards,

and I really enjoyed this daily routine.

As I went through the days, the theme "peace beyond understanding" became glaringly apparent.

I even commented to my husband, "I do have peace. Maybe God is preparing me for something?"

I didn't know what this encouragement was specifically for,

but I was very mindful of the Biblical reminders I was receiving day after day.

And I had it all documented in #myfaithcards.

Then in September 2015, my life changed forever.

We tragically lost my sister.

And despite months of turmoil...I had peace.

Peace I could not manufacture.

Peace beyond understanding.

It was real, and it held me together in some of the hardest moments any person could imagine.

Jesus truly does offer peace beyond understanding, "peace I bring you."  

Although the peace was there,

my motivation and drive to make my little cards waned.

I could barely function for months,

but I did stay in God's word...just not with the extra fluff.  

When 2016 arrived, I wanted to find my next devotion.

I picked up a $5 woman's devotion at the store and started that without making the faith cards.

However, it was a short-lived journey with that little devotion...

because one evening we left my sunroof open in a downpour, and it was ruined.

My Bible also got drenched, but I can't bring myself to replace it yet!

I was struggling with what devotion to move to next...

until one day I came across my old Oswald Chambers devotion from college.

PERFECT!

It was just what this classical home school mama needed.

I've read some people never stray from this devotion, they do it year after year.

Maybe I will be one of those people!

There's just so many core lessons in there, and I love it.

Amazon has several versions of My Utmost for His Highest. (affiliate)

I like modern day English version, lol. 

Here's my new Bible, devotion, and faith cards set-up.

I found a little square basket lying around the house and put my Bible, devotion, faith cards pouch, prayer journal, and pen into it.

I love to re-purpose organization items around the house.

The "big stack" was making me crazy, and the little basket saved the day.

I love to see all my little books happily nestled into it.

In addition, my favorite scriptures and faith cards are currently displayed in my kitchen on a cute display board. 

If you would like to,

please join me on Instagram at milkallergymom,

and feel free to hashtag your own faith cards with #myfaithcards.

I would love to do this with you!

May you also experience peace beyond understanding through Jesus, my friend.
