Here is my video over how to make your own Bible/Journal.... Dashboard YESSSSS!!!! REALLY! ruclips.net/video/7YaLr2Dmtg0/видео.htmlsi=9FBgl9a2tehBX8Ry Top Secret 😊🤭🤫
Thank you so much for sharing this, Cat…I would never have found it! I used two pieces of scrapbook paper, laminated them, and put some flags and arrows on it. Going to make some for my friends, and a couple of young ladies at church. And the word you were looking for, was acetate, close to acetone, just not as toxic! Blessings to you, sweet sister!
Back in March I was going through a lot of tests for cancer. I saw your video on Bible Gardens. I immediately went out and got a bible ( mine were in storage as I was in process of moving from Maine to Florida) So I made a Bible garden on trust. Let me tell you, I did get diagnosed with cancer but it was the best thing that ever happened to me ( other than adopting my son) because it woke up my spiritual life. It has gotten me through surgery, endometrial cancer..completely removed…appendiceal cancer… all relived, and now we are watching a minuscule nodule on my lung. But God has been so amazing. So then I saw the distorts club and wanted a prayer Bible on lots of topics so I made one. I loved it so much I’ve been making many of them. When I go to oncologists on Wednesday I am going to bring one and just leave it in waiting room with a note explaining how to use it and hope God puts it into the hands of someone who needs it. I am baking one for my sister who is married to a pastor. I know she will love it. Thanks Cat for all you share!!!
Wow this is so awesome to hear. I'm in tears here. No one can ever say God hands are not moving around during these days. Because I see Him in action more & more. Praise Him... Praise His Holy Name. Thank you so much for sharing your Testimony with me and the rest of us here. Keeping you in my prayers sis 🙏💕🙏
I’m glad I used the tabs! Once put together, which can seem overwhelming and time consuming, my prayer time is definitely more focused. I don’t have to look at a key or look up the verse, instead I just flip to it. It has been wonderful.🙏❤️
I love your idea of different bibles for different subjects. Your bibles are so pretty and I really like how you color matched them. That green one is GORGEOUS!
I love those Bibles I need to get them one day and I want to Bible Garden and never started cause I'm a Word Lover first. Yes Women should support and empower Women 💖 I Love uplifting and empowering Women and Men I want everyone to Win 🏆 everyone's blessings is made for them no need to be sour our light and Blessings come at different times on God's time. Jesus Teaches us to Obey God first and Love our neighbor from anywhere. Xoxo love this video ❤❤
Love the prayer bible you've created for your sister. I have that book of 200 prayer prompts. I found it for $1.99 at my local bargain discount store and I love the idea of adding the prompts near the verses. I have a journaling bible that I've decided to dedicate for my prayer bible, so that I could record my prayers while reading. But your video has given me inspiration to add the prayer prompts as well for those days when I'm stuck on what to pray. ❤☺
Im so thankful you made thie comment to make it your own. So many people are copying so many prayer Bibles my fear for us as Christians is we are becoming insincere or becoming so regimented with a routine that we are no longer praying to God from our own mouths or our own hearts anymore. We have to be careful because on top of the scriptures we pray we have to remember God stull wants to hear what is in our hearts authentically in connection WITH the scriptures. So many women have lost who they are independently with God in their own personal relationship by doing so many prayer routines like others. One thing i have always admired about your channel as your subscriber is that YOU HAVE ALWAYS Encouraged PEOPLE TO DO WHAT WORKS FOR THEM WITH GOD. God bless
I 100%... 100% agree with you here. People are only worried about doing what new how & exciting or they are copying how someone else did their Bibles This is a huge reason why I stopped posting soooo many creative Bible gardens videos like I was at the beginning of my channel and even though I still use whatever crafts make me happy I won't share links to run out and grab them. I want you all to watch (see) how I'm using my Bibles use whatever you can from my videos and apply them to your Bible.... watch the videos and you can fix or change whatever you need to create your own style. Use the tips I share that will work for you to help you draw closer to God Words. We will all grow stronger if we are willing to step out of the box to try new things to bloom & grow in God's word. We need to seek Him out to have a personal relationship with Him. If I'm copying how you built your relationship with God through your own Bible. It won't help me because that was your walk & your season. We all have different situations that have happened and are happening so we have to meet with God right where we are now. But we won't get anywhere if we are only worried about how our Bibles look and we get disappointed if they don't look like our favorite RUclipsr sister or friend. Again you are so right my friend I am so glad you mentioned this. I believe God sent you here right at this moment for reason. May God bless you abundantly 🙏🙌💕🌈
@@catwoods5499 God bless you dear sis. I have wanted to scream so many times at these recent you tube mass take over about these prayer Bibles. Every channel except your keeps promoting to follow Sisterita Club. The concept for more prayer great!!! But to copy others exact walk like you said erases us hearing God for ourselves. You are a great woman and I have been your subscriber for a while and over the years I admire you encouraging our individuality. May God grow your channel 7 times over.
You can copy someone to start out , then most people evolve and begin to find their own way ( whatever works for them) as a church secretary, I feel if a person is praying , no matter how that’s a good thing. And most importantly someone is reading a Bible , however they read . That’s a huge blessing and step in the right direction
Thank you so much for this video! I really needed this as I was so overwhelmed with tabbing a Prayer Bible I kinda halted it. I love the way you think and use your Bibles. I am definitely making mine tab free like this tonight. You've definitely been a blessing to me!!!❤
First of all, thank you Lord, and thank you sister! I’ve been thinking about making tabbed bibles that help complete novices, unbelievers, to answer their tough questions, perhaps the toughest is ‘why does God allow suffering?’ ‘How does Jesus save and from what?’ ‘Help for life’s problems - leading really to help with our spirit’s problems, what really matters.’ Stuff like that. Instead of giving people verses, give them a marked up bible and pray they might read further in it. My postman stood in tears on my doorstep about some bad trouble, and I wish I’d had one ready to comfort him. Even just a New Testament and Psalms, so it’s not too bulky. I must get some that don’t actually look like bibles, because people don’t want to be seen holding a gild edge brick with ribbons, if they’re still sensitive to that, so a paperback, maybe, is ok. I do like the idea of bibles for different subjects/themes/needs. I’ve made one so far and it got full so quickly, I’ve now bought a large print desk bible to make into a prayer bible because there’s more ‘real estate’, more length to the pages, and more pages on which to stick tabs. And I’m seeing discrete little tab flags that hardly stick out, and are neat and tidy, which a man or a non creative person may prefer. Really these bibles are just a beefed up aide memoire, or signpost to where particular verses are! And when I first started reading I was so overwhelmed about finding where the sections were about this and that, and a bit frustrated that the book wasn’t organised into subjects! Little did I know I’d gradually assimilate, although I still struggle with remembering references. I need these for that too. What encouraged me was that even Paul said “somewhere it says”…. And then he quoted the Old Testament. I’m sure he knew where it was, but I find myself saying similar now, “doesn’t it say somewhere?” Memories are just tabs in the mind, and my mine is now in need of physical helps like this. So many ways of doing this. Can’t find the 200 prayer prompts in Amazon in the UK unfortunately, but I’ll track one of those down, thanks for the heads up on that book!
Yes amazing for books journals not Bibles because they're way too heavy & thick too. Just wait use them daily for a few months and you see exactly what I'm talking about
I found these lovely tabs on Amazon. They are not expensive and not as heavy as Avery labels. I also punched out circles from craft paper and use those as tabs…I cover with packing tape. Also, if you love tabs but afraid of ripping, put some clear tape down the edge of page. OVER the tab and it will prevent tearing.
The most important thing we are do to is to read, study and understand God’s Word. For those wanting to use tabs, you can place a piece of washi tape on both sides to secure it. When I used Tamoe River paper on one of my Prayer books, I used tabs and reinforced them with washi.
I’m glad I used the tabs! Once put together, which can seem overwhelming and time consuming, my prayer time is definitely more focused. I don’t have to look at a key or look up the verse, instead I just flip to it. It has been wonderful.🙏❤
This was so helpful. I got a smaller bible with larger print for my prayer bible project, however I was overwhelmed with all the tabs as it prevented me from being able to flip through the pages. I like your use of colored hearts, or perhaps a sticker or a dot on the page itself. Thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video and sharing such good ideas. You have inspired me; I forsee that I will be quite busy next year. 😊 I am working on a prayer Bible right now. Instead of tabs marking the verses, I have created a library-style pocket for index cards. The cards have themes and verses to pray. That way, I can color code the themes and use the card to guide me, all without adding tabs. I can, also, add to the verses as I come across more that fit each theme. But, it will take time.
I was struggling with the tabs. I really didn't know what I was going to do. I was using the tabs and they were crunching my pages and I was super worried about the thin Bible paper ripping. I love the idea of drawing a heart, or using a small sticker (maybe a small color dot sticker? ) and writing in the margin the topic. I love the idea of using the TCR Bible too! Brilliant idea! I also thought about writing or typing my own lists and putting that in my Bible too. Thanks Sis ❤
Yes, the way you’ve done it is exactly what I had in mind to do with one of my Bibles. Seems like all the tabs would be a distraction. I have been thinking about trying washi tape tabs that are flush with the page edge. But I wonder if even that would tear a page edge.
I used to be so protective over my bible but then realized that because I didn't want to ruin it, I wasn't using it much. One day I just went for it and made a bunch of tabs (I used my tab punch) with cardstock and labeled all of the books. I even dared to start note taking and highlight in it. There were some small mess ups along the way but I haven't used my bible so much in my life! Every day I am so excited to dig into it and read/study with it. It's been just over a year I think and none of the tabs or pages are bent or ruined except one where I tried to reposition a tab and impatiently pulled to hard causing a small rip. It's flawed like me and I love it even more. Which bible are you using here? The blue gilding is stunning!
Thanks for this video. Earlier today I had gotten frustrated and taken all the tabs out I spent days putting in. Some of my pages are kinda messed up a bit. I took them all out as carefully as I could. I like the idea of a colored heart. All those tabs look so fun and appealing, but they just weren’t for me. I’ve added a pages in various places in my Bible for each person I want to pray for along with a page for requests and one for ER prayer where I will use sticky notes, then I’ve tabbed the top of those added pages Monday-Sunday so I’m praying each day toward a specific person or group of people or purpose. So after watching this, I’m going to add a colored heart near the verses to pray. I already highlighted where the bazillion tabs were so this is perfect.
I love this video, Cat-Great suggestions!! I needed to be able to journal my Scripture Prayers in my Bible… I liked the video (cannot remember the title) where you shared “God’s Word Pray the Scripture Bible”!! *LOOOVE!!!*🥰 The printed version is super-expensive because it’s no longer in print, but I found the eBook version that I purchased and I use the prompts to write out my prayers in a physical journaling Bible. 😍❤️🔥‼️ Thanks for all your encouraging videos!! 🙌🏼😁🤗🤗
Cat I've been watching you for over a year and I think it's the first time I left a comment but I always 👍🏽. I literally just made a video about me combining a garden, prayer and bible (art) journal. I didn't want to create a prayer journal with all the bells and whistles because I haven't read the entire Bible yet and for me I think it's a must. I think it's important for me to add as I grow closer to God. Anyway sorry for the long comment. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless, Kay 💜🙏🏽
Yes yes yes... girl have been watching me for while this is exactly what I say. "Please don't copy me or any one else... take whatever I do and share that you like and that you think may work for you and tweak it to fit you & your style!" And that's exactly what you did here I'm so proud of you girl. And thank you so much for also sharing how you won't fly through your Bible quickly just to add the tabs & pretty things inside. Take your time it's a life long journey or however long that particular Bible may take. Anyways thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. 💕📚✍📖🙏💕
Greetings to you! On the topic of tabs...I too am very aware that tabs can be awesome or a failure per my experiences thus far. Like smaller Bibles...that can be a big mistake because the tabs can end up being so close to the bottom and top, which can cause a prickly feeling in the hands or fingers per possible sharp points of the tabs. And on small Bibles it can be just too much, even with mini-sized tabs. Or even larger Bibles like those that are thin lines, can be too much as well. But here are the reasons when I put on tabs....Bibles that are big where it is hard to find where I want to be quickly, especially Bibles I want to use in church--where the Pastor gives a lot of references during the sermon, when a Bible is very hard to work with, that is, moving from one section to another...I think it has something to do with the construction even if a quality Bible...it just seems to be hard to move around in, other Bibles where there are wide margins and the page numbers and chapters and so forth are set well inside the Bible...that is also a great one for tabs to find where I want to be faster. I am very careful about using the Bibles that have tabs on them, so they work great for me when I do need/use them. I always start by placing the first tab in Revelation and proceed from there, and pre plan where I want them exactly, how many per row (that is for each row), how I over lap (if they are those kind of tabs), what I want at the top, etc., and I really take my time placing them. For me, I also do not want the tabs too close to the top or to the bottom...so I plan some space there. And finally, I think sometimes we are influenced by memories, so there are tabs that perhaps I enjoy just because of what it reminds me of, and it makes me love a particular tab choice that just makes me happy if I need to apply tabs lately. There are some tabs that have extra tabs, like for maps and concordance etc that can be used if the Bible has a lot of extra sections. Even more, those tabs help me to navigate and also remind me that it has all this stuff in it, like a topical index or helps or bios, etc...grin. Sometimes I can forget that it had this or that. That too, needs time to consider how to use them or where to place them carefully. But I totally agree with you...certain Bibles just might not need them at all or defeats its purpose even. Love in Jesus' Name.
I am making a prayer Bible for my mom. She lives several states away & I think it will mean a lot to her. I am putting a few tabs in that I know will be meaningful and then I’m sending a list of several topics & verses that go with them so she can decide to include them or to use the tabs on other verses.
Cat, amazing video! You so helped me with ideas for my Pray The Scriptures Bible. I really like the no tab ideas. They can be a pain. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻✝️
Your video is such a blessing! You are right that tabs tear up bible pages. I am blessed to have a small bible that dad gave to mom with a sweet note. The bible was tabbed & sadly some tabs had torn up a few pages. I didn't have peace to add tabs to a new bible I just bought to make it a prayer bible but didn't want to use tabs or overload it with so many subjects. I was overwhelmed until I watched your video & now know what to do, keep it simple. I will make draw little hearts by verses that will be highlighted & like your green bible have one subject of verses for someone that has fear/anxiety making it a gift/comfort bible. 💝 I just subscribed & look forward to watching more of your videos to learn how you make beautiful garden bibles. I'm so excited! Question, what kind of bible (black) did you show at the beginning & what brand is the pink bible that you have for yourself & will gift it to your sister? Thank you for being a blessing & Cat, God bless you!
The little black one with blue art gilt is a Schuyler PSC personal size Canterbury The pink one that I'm gifting always is from Humble Lamb it's called the shepherd Bible. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I greatly appreciate it sis 🙏✍📖🖤💜💖
A prayer Bible happens over time because it represents your own journey and where you are on your path. It’s a living document. Let God guide you. It will evolve as you mature in your prayer practice.
Yes exactly I don't understand why some people have make it a race or something like that.. race it finish it in a week to add a ton of tabs washi super fast to make it look like it's finished why!? What does that do? I have several prayers Bibles and year one at least took me a year or more to finish not saying people can't do what they want it's amazing that they're excited about their Bibles in the first place. But it can be very misleading to any one who doesn't fully understand it's a life long spiritual journey. Your prayer life will also be transformed too the more you grow stronger and closer to God. ✍📖💕🙏
Oh, that's a great explanation. Of course this would be a longterm project, developing as our deeper needs make themselves known over time. I was instead adddressing it as a craft project. Thanks, this gave me the grace to take a year to create one if I need to.
I have quite a few Bibles, as I collect each version as something to check between Bible studies. I never thought of having a theme of prayers, but it sounds like a good thing to me. I can fill up a Bible in no time putting a little of everything in just one. Maybe it makes it easier if looking for a certain prayer. 😇🙂😺😽❤❤
That's exactly why I have theme Bibles so I can focus on one subject and those verses at time. Plus it's also a great way to memorize those verses that you need and you can also learn where they are located at in your Bible
@@catwoods5499 This is such an amazing idea. Do you use the same translation for your different theme Bibles? I was also wondering if you ever get super creative with any of your study Bibles? You have inspired and motivated me Cat. I have quite a few Bibles that I’ve been holding on to just waiting to be used for something special. Thank you Sister! 🙏📖😊
Oh girly you literally were reading my mind about a study Bible and being creative in it. I wanted to make sure I was biblically sound in Gods word before I started my adventure in any study Bible. So now that I have the read the whole Bible in several different translations I'm definitely ready to work from & use a study Bible hummmm🤔 which one 🤭😌
DiD you virtually attend the free The Armor of God Bible journaling conference today and tomorrow? Very well done and lots of creative Bible stuff going on.
I did a search of your videos for bible dashboards and couldn't find your video for it. If it's not too much trouble, would you share the link to that video? TIA.
I have the video link in the pin comment please make sure to check out and let me how you enjoy it. This way I know what kind of videos you all enjoy watching ❤❤❤
Does anyone have an NLT Inspire Prayer Bible? It would work pretty well as a "prayer" bible and the work is basically done. You can add to if you want to.
Did you ink your Bible page edges, or did they come like that? I have gilded edge bibles, but have not seen those other colors. I want to do that to some of mine. How did you do it?
It's in my Playlist. There is a whole Playlist of my Art gilt journey. Don't watch just the first one because you too will make the same mistakes I did too. 😂 not everyone on YT knows what they are doing 😊😁🤣
Here is my video over how to make your own Bible/Journal.... Dashboard YESSSSS!!!! REALLY!

Yesssss love this
Great way to evangelize also!
I decided to use washi tape as tabs. I do my monthly devotional each month has a theme each theme is color coded with a small washi tape tab
I’m glad I used the tabs! Once put together, which can seem overwhelming and time consuming, my prayer time is definitely more focused. I don’t have to look at a key or look up the verse, instead I just flip to it. It has been wonderful.🙏❤️

Oh love that idea too. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. 🙏💕✍📖
I was struggling with the tabs. I really didn't know what I was going to do. I was using the tabs and they were crunching my pages and I was super worried about the thin Bible paper ripping.
I love the idea of drawing a heart, or using a small sticker (maybe a small color dot sticker? ) and writing in the margin the topic. I love the idea of using the TCR Bible too! Brilliant idea! I also thought about writing or typing my own lists and putting that in my Bible too.
Thanks Sis ❤
Yes, the way you’ve done it is exactly what I had in mind to do with one of my Bibles. Seems like all the tabs would be a distraction. I have been thinking about trying washi tape tabs that are flush with the page edge. But I wonder if even that would tear a page edge.
I used to be so protective over my bible but then realized that because I didn't want to ruin it, I wasn't using it much. One day I just went for it and made a bunch of tabs (I used my tab punch) with cardstock and labeled all of the books. I even dared to start note taking and highlight in it. There were some small mess ups along the way but I haven't used my bible so much in my life! Every day I am so excited to dig into it and read/study with it. It's been just over a year I think and none of the tabs or pages are bent or ruined except one where I tried to reposition a tab and impatiently pulled to hard causing a small rip. It's flawed like me and I love it even more. Which bible are you using here? The blue gilding is stunning!

Thanks for this video. Earlier today I had gotten frustrated and taken all the tabs out I spent days putting in. Some of my pages are kinda messed up a bit. I took them all out as carefully as I could. I like the idea of a colored heart. All those tabs look so fun and appealing, but they just weren’t for me. I’ve added a pages in various places in my Bible for each person I want to pray for along with a page for requests and one for ER prayer where I will use sticky notes, then I’ve tabbed the top of those added pages Monday-Sunday so I’m praying each day toward a specific person or group of people or purpose. So after watching this, I’m going to add a colored heart near the verses to pray. I already highlighted where the bazillion tabs were so this is perfect.
I love this video, Cat-Great suggestions!! I needed to be able to journal my Scripture Prayers in my Bible…
I liked the video (cannot remember the title) where you shared “God’s Word Pray the Scripture Bible”!! *LOOOVE!!!*🥰
The printed version is super-expensive because it’s no longer in print, but I found the eBook version that I purchased and I use the prompts to write out my prayers in a physical journaling Bible. 😍❤️🔥‼️
Thanks for all your encouraging videos!! 🙌🏼😁🤗🤗
Cat I've been watching you for over a year and I think it's the first time I left a comment but I always 👍🏽. I literally just made a video about me combining a garden, prayer and bible (art) journal. I didn't want to create a prayer journal with all the bells and whistles because I haven't read the entire Bible yet and for me I think it's a must. I think it's important for me to add as I grow closer to God. Anyway sorry for the long comment. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless, Kay 💜🙏🏽
Yes yes yes... girl have been watching me for while this is exactly what I say. "Please don't copy me or any one else... take whatever I do and share that you like and that you think may work for you and tweak it to fit you & your style!" And that's exactly what you did here I'm so proud of you girl. And thank you so much for also sharing how you won't fly through your Bible quickly just to add the tabs & pretty things inside. Take your time it's a life long journey or however long that particular Bible may take. Anyways thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. 💕📚✍📖🙏💕
Just subbed to you Kay. 😊
Greetings to you! On the topic of tabs...I too am very aware that tabs can be awesome or a failure per my experiences thus far. Like smaller Bibles...that can be a big mistake because the tabs can end up being so close to the bottom and top, which can cause a prickly feeling in the hands or fingers per possible sharp points of the tabs. And on small Bibles it can be just too much, even with mini-sized tabs. Or even larger Bibles like those that are thin lines, can be too much as well. But here are the reasons when I put on tabs....Bibles that are big where it is hard to find where I want to be quickly, especially Bibles I want to use in church--where the Pastor gives a lot of references during the sermon, when a Bible is very hard to work with, that is, moving from one section to another...I think it has something to do with the construction even if a quality Bible...it just seems to be hard to move around in, other Bibles where there are wide margins and the page numbers and chapters and so forth are set well inside the Bible...that is also a great one for tabs to find where I want to be faster. I am very careful about using the Bibles that have tabs on them, so they work great for me when I do need/use them. I always start by placing the first tab in Revelation and proceed from there, and pre plan where I want them exactly, how many per row (that is for each row), how I over lap (if they are those kind of tabs), what I want at the top, etc., and I really take my time placing them. For me, I also do not want the tabs too close to the top or to the bottom...so I plan some space there. And finally, I think sometimes we are influenced by memories, so there are tabs that perhaps I enjoy just because of what it reminds me of, and it makes me love a particular tab choice that just makes me happy if I need to apply tabs lately. There are some tabs that have extra tabs, like for maps and concordance etc that can be used if the Bible has a lot of extra sections. Even more, those tabs help me to navigate and also remind me that it has all this stuff in it, like a topical index or helps or bios, etc...grin. Sometimes I can forget that it had this or that. That too, needs time to consider how to use them or where to place them carefully. But I totally agree with you...certain Bibles just might not need them at all or defeats its purpose even. Love in Jesus' Name.
I am making a prayer Bible for my mom. She lives several states away & I think it will mean a lot to her. I am putting a few tabs in that I know will be meaningful and then I’m sending a list of several topics & verses that go with them so she can decide to include them or to use the tabs on other verses.
Loooove this 💕📚✍📖💕
Cat, amazing video! You so helped me with ideas for my Pray The Scriptures Bible. I really like the no tab ideas. They can be a pain. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻✝️
Cat thank you for sharing and is a good idea to give to others in need of Prayers, God knows many people need to here the word 🙏
Thank you,this was wonderful!
Your video is such a blessing! You are right that tabs tear up bible pages. I am blessed to have a small bible that dad gave to mom with a sweet note. The bible was tabbed & sadly some tabs had torn up a few pages. I didn't have peace to add tabs to a new bible I just bought to make it a prayer bible but didn't want to use tabs or overload it with so many subjects. I was overwhelmed until I watched your video & now know what to do, keep it simple. I will make draw little hearts by verses that will be highlighted & like your green bible have one subject of verses for someone that has fear/anxiety making it a gift/comfort bible. 💝
I just subscribed & look forward to watching more of your videos to learn how you make beautiful garden bibles. I'm so excited!
Question, what kind of bible (black) did you show at the beginning & what brand is the pink bible that you have for yourself & will gift it to your sister? Thank you for being a blessing & Cat, God bless you!
The little black one with blue art gilt is a Schuyler PSC personal size Canterbury
The pink one that I'm gifting always is from Humble Lamb it's called the shepherd Bible. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel I greatly appreciate it sis 🙏✍📖🖤💜💖
Thank you for sharing
Think you Ms cat I need this video
A prayer Bible happens over time because it represents your own journey and where you are on your path. It’s a living document. Let God guide you. It will evolve as you mature in your prayer practice.
Yes exactly I don't understand why some people have make it a race or something like that.. race it finish it in a week to add a ton of tabs washi super fast to make it look like it's finished why!? What does that do? I have several prayers Bibles and year one at least took me a year or more to finish not saying people can't do what they want it's amazing that they're excited about their Bibles in the first place. But it can be very misleading to any one who doesn't fully understand it's a life long spiritual journey. Your prayer life will also be transformed too the more you grow stronger and closer to God. ✍📖💕🙏
Oh, that's a great explanation. Of course this would be a longterm project, developing as our deeper needs make themselves known over time. I was instead adddressing it as a craft project. Thanks, this gave me the grace to take a year to create one if I need to.
Ooooo great analogy thank you!
Put a sticky note in the Bibles stating that the Bible is for them. If not they will think somebody left it in error.
I have quite a few Bibles, as I collect each version as something to check between Bible studies. I never thought of having a theme of prayers, but it sounds like a good thing to me. I can fill up a Bible in no time putting a little of everything in just one. Maybe it makes it easier if looking for a certain prayer. 😇🙂😺😽❤❤
That's exactly why I have theme Bibles so I can focus on one subject and those verses at time. Plus it's also a great way to memorize those verses that you need and you can also learn where they are located at in your Bible
@@catwoods5499 This is such an amazing idea. Do you use the same translation for your different theme Bibles? I was also wondering if you ever get super creative with any of your study Bibles? You have inspired and motivated me Cat. I have quite a few Bibles that I’ve been holding on to just waiting to be used for something special. Thank you Sister! 🙏📖😊
Oh girly you literally were reading my mind about a study Bible and being creative in it. I wanted to make sure I was biblically sound in Gods word before I started my adventure in any study Bible. So now that I have the read the whole Bible in several different translations I'm definitely ready to work from & use a study Bible hummmm🤔 which one 🤭😌
@@catwoods5499 oh this is going to be fun!!! I can’t wait to see what you choose! My goodness what a blessing God’s Word is! 😁🙌📖🙏
Dashboard video please
Check out pin comment
This kinda what I’ve done starting about 2 years ago
DiD you virtually attend the free The Armor of God Bible journaling conference today and tomorrow? Very well done and lots of creative Bible stuff going on.
No never heard of it
Is it in a physical location or a series of videos.
Tabs can be confusing when you go back and try to figure out what they are there for
I did a search of your videos for bible dashboards and couldn't find your video for it. If it's not too much trouble, would you share the link to that video? TIA.
I have the video link in the pin comment please make sure to check out and let me how you enjoy it. This way I know what kind of videos you all enjoy watching ❤❤❤
I’d love for you to make me one. I’m not artistic at all!,
Several people say the same thing to me. This has taken me over a year to do. I wish I could do one for everyone I'm just not able to
Totally understandable!
I love my tabbed prayer Bible. I see no difference than my tabbed Bible. What I don't like is thumbing thru...gives me anxiety.
Does anyone have an NLT Inspire Prayer Bible? It would work pretty well as a "prayer" bible and the work is basically done. You can add to if you want to.
Are Christ words in red?😊😊
Hello cat wood what the name of your bibles u have the name of them
Where did you get the prayer prompts?
Bible dashboard video link? I searched and couldn’t find it. Thanks.

What’s the name of that bible
Hello Cat, i am new to your channel just started watching today, so far i like what i see. what is the name of the Bible you are using?.....
I'm sorry which one hon?
Did you ink your Bible page edges, or did they come like that? I have gilded edge bibles, but have not seen those other colors. I want to do that to some of mine. How did you do it?
It's in my Playlist. There is a whole Playlist of my Art gilt journey. Don't watch just the first one because you too will make the same mistakes I did too. 😂 not everyone on YT knows what they are doing 😊😁🤣
@@catwoods5499lol ok thank you 😊
What a sweet gift to give her. 🥹
Labor of love 💕
