This morning I have been Bible journaling in the book of Daniel. Daniel had so much faith. I need faith like that, to count on God. It felt good to get my purple Bible journaling bag out and use my scented highlighters and all my other gorgeous supplies. I want to do more Bible journaling today. I think sometimes we all forget, or at least most of us forget, how amazing it is that we can have the word of the God of the universe in our hands and read it for ourselves in our homes. Sometimes I look at my scripture journals or my Bibles, but I don’t dive into the Word. I don’t know why. Acedia maybe? That is spiritual sloth. I need to be more disciplined. I like reading the bible and I like bible journaling, and I love God. Sometimes I just feel distant from Him. But that only gets worse when I don’t Bible journal. I need to be all in.
Yesterday Craig surprised me with a giant deep dish cookie from Pizza Hut. I didn’t realize until this morning, when I went to look at the boxes to see what was empty and could be thrown away. Now I’m excited about the cookie. My husband is so sweet.
Yesterday at the last day of OCIA. My kind sponsor gave a gorgeous white leather, gold embossed copy of the catechism with 4 beautiful ribbons in different colors to mark, your place in each of the four sections. I love it. I enjoy reading the catechism sometimes.
