Tracing paper is a great cheaper price substitute for vellum! You can draw, write, even watercolor on it. It holds up well, gets that nice crinkle sound without curling up. Thanks for sharing your tips! They are so beautiful!
“When you can’t track your spiritual growth, you don’t become confident in your spiritual walk.” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Wow!! That was such a powerful statement to me. Thank you Cat for your amazing videos.
Awe thank you so much sister xoxo I am so excited to hear that this video spoke to you. This means so much to me. Hearing this from such amazing women makes me overwhelmed with joy & happiness may God continue to bless us all. As we continue to seek Him out throughout our Bibles ✍📖📚💕
I've been deprived of any expression of Faith for 50 years. You have given me the confidence to let my creative self express my new journey as a 'Born Again Christian', without fear of my adversary. I am feeling the purpose God has for me in the future through your love, care and instruction on the creation of Bible Gardens. Loving you through Christ.
I am in the UK, and am exploring creativity in my bible study... I do want to do more than take notes but I want to use all kinds of things to encourage my walk in joy. In bible college I did it a teeny but as our Dean of students was creative.... But back in the ordinary life I didn't follow it up... Now I have gathered all sorts of things to use as I go through my different bibles... I want a she reads truth bible, illustrating bible, and I will use my ol faithful $13 bible from the book store in 2003.. It's falling apart and pretty marked up, but I might use it in bits in my journal... Not sure yet.... But I know at the age of 65 I feel like a kid again !!! No more grown up but a child of The King doing her unique thing before her God and Father!
@judith that is so sad to hear. It's heartbreaking but I have heard hundreds of sisters and brothers like you that have said they have been in the word for years but cannot connect with it watching my videos have given them a whole new way of looking at their Bible and best of all a new and exciting way to seek the Lord out. Thank you so much for watching and most of all sharing your story here. I know that can't be easy thing to do. But I hope others will read this and understand you can step out and try something new & different if you find out later it's not for you well you tried instead of just (settling in a dull and stale relationship) I think if you were really reading your bible for years than you would know your main purpose of reading the bibles is not to check it off a list ✔ but to live it out. Soooo if you're finding that your bible study time is dull when than your relationship with God is dull too. I'm sorry to say but I don't believe that's how God planned your relationship. Noooooo He wants His children to be on Fire for Him and excited so excited that the whole world and so they are a child of God. Just my opinion ✍📖💜✝️💜
@@catwoods5499 Thankyou for your loving reply Cat. When I said that I had been deprived of any expression of Faith, I meant that Gods Word was "withheld" from me as a Bible was not allowed in the house. Due to "oppression" I have not been able to read the Bible for 50 years, but I changed that this year and am now working through it from cover to cover and Bible journaling as well, which is taking me deeper into it.
I grew up being told that it’s a sin to mark up in my Bible (which is a total lie and there’s really nothing in the Bible that says we can’t highlight and journal about what God is teaching us). I knew that whoever was telling me this was just incorrect because I saw many pastors and even my own pastor with some notes and highlights in their Bible, so it reassured me that it was okay. I love studying my Bible and marking it up because I can easily find passages that I’m thinking about and I just feel good flipping through my marked up Bible to see all the lessons I’ve learned over the years. It’s also amazing to read over my old prayers and see how they were answered. I’ve been wanting to start a Bible garden since I discovered your channel but I didn’t really know how to do it. Thank you so much Cat for giving me all these ideas and inspiration!! I can’t wait to see the following videos in this series ❤️
Let the spirit guide u 🤎 its never a sin to learn from God word. I got told the same but cats videos truly have been a blessing. If it was not for her following the holy spirit to do this channel I would probably not be all into my Bible.... she helped in such a huge way 🤎🤗
Rebecca Ly my husband feels the same way about writing in the Bible. But, I told him my Bible is My Sword and I need to be able to pull it out at any time to use. My sword is My sword! Each soldiers sword is decorated differently and personalized. I love this idea.
These are so beautiful in my opinion. I have tried to start mine. My husband laughed at me and said it is hilarious. He is not a very nice person. I am going to just happily continue on this creative journey.
As a believer and a gardener, I love this idea. What to do during the winter months when I can't plant in my outer garden, I can work on my inner, spiritual garden and document it like this. I had never heard of a Bible Garden until today. What a wonderful idea. Thank you.
I’m a pastor . I needed a fun way to study the Word . Thank you . I enjoy your channel and my Bible garden is growing. Aloha and blessings from Hawai’i
Ohhhh WOWZER really. This is so encouraging to hear that my channel is able to bless and help a pastor too. I give God all the Glory here. So many people have come to me saying this way of looking at their bibles has really sparked a new love & excitement for God's Holy Sacred Word. Praise the Lord. God is on fire here and Satan will not stop it either sister. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel I greatly appreciate it please if you would pray over my channel that the evilness of the world will stay away🧎♀️🙏 💜✝️💜
We're so glad you discovered this at an early age like me I'm 69 now and when I got my first King James Bible I started stenciling little hearts in it when God said something really special to me and it's it's such a blessing and I didn't care what other people thought I underlined all over the place in my King James Bible and if they saw its for what and that's before I ever heard of Bible journaling which is something people just started in this last maybe 10 years and if I'd thought of it I would have back then
thank you so much for the wonderful video, I've been a mixed media artist for a number of years, and just today I stumbled on your video how to start your Bible garden, I feel like my prayers have been answered and I can't wait to fall on your videos, what a great way to praise God. I like how you tell your students to make it their own Bible. Going shopping for another Bible, and I can't wait to get started. Thank you so much and God bless you
Hello! I’m a pastor in California and I just want to say I love this idea of a bible garden! ❤️ i already bible journal but nothing like this. Thank you now I’m going to grow my own garden, god bless you 😇
You are so right how your Bible can sum of your thoughts at different times in your life. I have had so much family loss in 9 years. The hardest being the unexpected loss of my oldest Son. I am here to say if not for God's mercy, I would be gone on all levels. I still have one set of footprints in my sand, and they aren't mine. My youngest Child got me into coloring, which saved my sanity. I was so happy to discover harvesting a Bible Garden. I know God has kept me here to help other Mother's that have lost a child. Some are angry with God, some can't think (been there) and others are allowing God to carry them. I have never been angry. I realized it was because of my faith. Anyway, I want you to know that your videos are a Blessing to me. God Bless You in all you do!
I just started mine in a compact bible, using highlights, washie tape and stickers to highlight verses that I often reference or want to find quickly. I've only done Paul's epistles so far but I'm loving it. I went and got some fine point pens and highlighters in Walmart back to school section. I will be looking for some see thru stickers and decided it wont matter if I cover some words because this is going to be my quick reference bible. Its the one that I've always carried in my purse. I am really looking forward to this series!!!!
This is so wonderful and inspiring ❣️❣️❣️❣️ I started bible journaling last year (I spent hundreds of dollars to purchase Bibles, stickers and journal supplies that are now just sitting in plastic containers) then I lost the motivation to continue. The LORD led me to your channel and now I’m HUNGRY to start again. 😍 Thank you!! P.S. I LOVE black kitties and tuxedos ... I have two tuxedo kitties and one black kitty (I had three but they went to heaven last year) ❤️💛💛
I absolutely love this. I am a very new Christian and have a lot of growing to do in the way of gods word and walking in that word. Picking out a word in an area you need to grow and focusing on that and journaling your thoughts of the moment is a stroke of genius, THANKYOU! Much love from Australia.
This was so helpful. I wanted to start but have been a little bewildered. I did not want just a decorated Bible..but I wanted something that helped me grow deeper in my relationship with God.
That's why you do your decorating for the end of your study. Too many people get it backwards want a pretty Bible and enjoy the Creative process of it but when it comes to daily watering and pulling the weeds of the garden they refuse to do it. So you will end up seeing a overgrown garden in their own personal lives. Because they never took the time to actually plant the seeds properly and deep in their heart & soul than to come back in ready to work & meditate while you are waiting for your Bible Garden to full grow & bloom as God intended it to be you. Pray over everything you do in your Bible sis He will always lead you to what's BEST FOR YOU!!! ✍📖💕📚
@@catwoods5499I love this concept that you shared here. I’ve been interested in Bible journaling for years, but it felt so high pressure - what if I regretted my art decisions? I never did start, but I bought an interleaved Bible so I can write my study notes and a small daily planner so I can write quick summaries as I go through my Bible in a Year reading plan and podcast. I’ve also been watching the Prayer Bible series that’s been trending this past week on Sisterita’s channel, and now I want to add that to the mix! The Growth Co. journal has also been on my wish list to use in a similar way to what you shared here, except that it doesn’t have the actual Bible included. That seems more low pressure than decorating in my Bible, but blank pages are also intimidating! The interleaved Bible is a nice compromise because each page of Biblical text is next to a blank page for notes - I just had to tell myself that those pages are for me to grow closer to God through his word and NOT for perfectionism. If I feel perfectionism creeping in, I know that is not if God, just like you mentioned in your video.
In November 2016, I was at a deep, dark depressive place. I was going to ponder my New Year Resolutions but I thought, “Why? You break them before the end of the month!” God gave me a notion...theme your year. My first year was “Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.” It was fantastic. I kept a planner journal. 2018 was “Be Still and Know that I am God.” 2019 was “Be ye Doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” 2020 is “Seek Him while he may be found.” I think I will start a “Create in Me” Bible Garden first just to strengthen me. Actually, I’ll start one for each year and when I’m needing to revisit that particular season. This makes me so happy and encouraged.
That's prefect sister I love it... And best of all you understand the whole point of the Bible Garden. It's really personal and a beautiful thing when you get to go back through your past years bibles and see just how much you have grown and BL🌺🌺M. I know so many people get discouraged on their Spiritual Walk, they have been in the Word of years follow just as their mother & fathers have before them went to church every Sunday. But still lack their own confidence they are still unsure if their (DOING IT ALL RIGHT!?) they may keep a prayers journal or two but can you imagine if those prayers and answers were in their bibles right next to the scriptures they were reading for that day. It's amazing I don't know what else I can say. I'm so very grateful for this chance to share my thoughts and I am very thankful that you also shared your insights too this is what my ministry is all about helping inspiring each other to grow & Bl🌺🌺m stronger together. Helping each other get ready for the Kingdom of God ✍📖💜✝️💜
BlessedVive Oh, I know exactly how you feel because I felt it too. God is so good and so faithful to put things in our path to inspire and strengthen our journey., You will LOVE doing this. Last night, twice, REST fell in my lap, so I’m hoping that REST IN HIM is my 2021 theme. I’ll have the rest of the year for confirmation. I’ve found when God gives you a theme, it is confirmed over and over during that time. My FB page is The Way and The Walk, if you would like to visit. And, I’d love for you to sub to my channel. Blessings sweet sister.
Your story touches me! It's obvious to see Jesus capturing your heart and transforming you, drawing you to love Him more through the years! Thanks for sharing this....He is working in His children, praise Lord Jesus!
Sister Cat, even though I have been a Christian for a long time and study a lot, i love this idea❤️ I too love to be creative. And this will be a fun project! I plan on drawing some simple sticker and printing some out, they have some beautiful ones I found on Pinterest, also they have lots a scripture and quotes. I have a personal size bible I hardly use , this will give it some new life! And for me too! Just a tip, if anyone is interested, I really like the app ‘print to size” I can print any image in any size on any kind of paper. I have been using the images in my Journals for a long time! Thank you so much for all that you share. Prayers and blessings!❤️
The app is ONLY for ipad or iPhone... I have neither! So can't use it sadly but I like the idea a lot. I am not in the needing a megaphone or ipad, so will have to wait for the app!
I’m glad you said that! We spend more time shopping for shoes, watching trash TV and other nonsense than we do reading Gods word. And you can’t do that spending 5,10,15mins with him. It’s like any other relationship you have to spend time and cultivate it. Thank you for making that a point.
What a wonderful concept! To actually see yourself GROW in the Word. I also loved when you said “When you can’t track your spiritual growth, you don’t become confident in your spiritual walk”. That is very powerful to me. I spent 12 year’s studying the Bible through Precept Upon Precept, Kay Arthur’s studies. I would spend hours each night doing my study for the day. As I look back at my Bible there are a lot of notes about the Scripture, but nothing about how I felt about it. It really like a seminary class, very detailed. I did learn a lot about the Bible, but not myself; and did not form a bond with God as I want to. I am going to give this a try along with the Fervent study. You have given me so much inspiration to get back into the Word of God. Thank you, I believe you are an angel in disguise, and a true blessing to all of us to find our true and real bond with God!
One word: COOL! (Okay, so I'm old. lol ) Love all of the ideas you've given so far. My mind is going a hundred miles an hour. My mother has all of this kind of stuff. I'm going to share your video with her. Thanks, Cat! Can't wait to see more.
Don't fear about messing up.....just what I needed to here!! I just got my first journaling Bible yesterday and had so many plans for it, but as soon as I opened it up I was afraid of messing it up. I love the idea of a Bible Garden!!
This is so beautiful the thought of handing down your spiritual walk in a physical form for reference to your children. They can look back with you and ask about all the praises, prayers, and growth.
I'm excited my stuff get my bible garden comes in Wednesday...I started showing my husband my journaling page he looked at me said I support you because your my wife but I don't worship like that and I hope have another bible study out of write notes I was hurt at first then told him not going change how I worship God because you don't like how words being covered by my art....I'm actually fixing be getting ready order NKJV journaling bible for just my notes studying my main go to Bible my ESV bible is my bible garden..I want thank you for planting seed sister inspired me be me again not be afraid worship God using my art talent gift he gave me for our heavenly father... vintage butterfly mushroom flower themed scrapbooking kit from Amazon
"watch your spiritual growth bloom " - how true! I am building up a collection of post-its each time I listen to a church reading or bible study - my bible is alive, growing and changing - just like me!
Devotionals are also great little books to use as bible gardens. Some of them are very pretty and well-crafted. Ollie's discount store is my favorite place to find bibles and devotionals below retail prices.
Good night wow I love it when you share thank you for explaining this in different sections it’s a amazing journey it’s truly a beautiful wonderful amazing blessings you inspire me every time thank you beautiful sweet sister praying for you and your families and everyone in here blessings too all thank you for sharing watch the replay 🙌🏾🛡❤️🙌🏾🛡❤️🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊
Thank you for sharing your God-given creative gifts with us to aid us on our spiritual journey. I especially like how you emphasize that growing a Bible garden isn't merely about aesthetics; rather, it's to help inspire us as we receive The Word.
Thanks for your video, it was so encouraging, I was so depressed because of the pain in my lower back and hips, I was going to give up on my relationship with God because no healing has come. This encouraged me to get my Bible out and pray and seek God. Thanks
Hi Cat! Thank you for this Garden Bible series! Because of my OCD & minimalist tendencies, I can’t bring myself to mark my Bible even with pencil & I don’t want a huge journaling Bible as I prefer the small or personal size Bible which is the only one I have for reading, Church, praying, everything. I’m so glad to have come across your channel because you showed me that I can Bible Journal using a small Bible but I use watercolor paper or decorative card stock to journal in and I don’t permanently glue them in because I don’t have the heart to buy another small Bible & set this one aside. So when this Bible gets full, I’ll pull out all the journaling cards and bind it into a book, stick them in a photo album or tie it with a nice ribbon with the year(s) label on it for archiving.
Heh, that's a great idea! I also struggle writing in my Bible but I've been using post it notes and those tabs with clear bottoms to write notes (but you can still see the text below) I am not sure about stickers, but I do believe to each their own and I also believe that the LORD calls each person differently. I am a fan of a companion spiritual journal in which I can write anything, draw and or decorate as inspired by my reading of the Bible. Plus, I don't want to spend money on bibles when I have so many other journals that can be filed away nicely after use. I would not give my Bible Garden to anyone, except my husband, if I pass away, but I STILL LOVE THIS CONCEPT. I am going to think about how I can make a garden from my Bible Study efforts without sacrificing the Bible. I MAY get a companion Bible from a second hand book store and blow it up (as Cat says). Not sure. Lots of fun ahead though, as well as blessings, I'm sure. God bless you and Cat in your journeys. c
That's exactly what I recommend doing sister and a journaling Bibles are great too they are designed to be colored on they have margins so you're not covering up the words you can really grow your own Bible Garden as you see it. I always stress DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S IN MY OWN BIBLE THIS IS MY OWN WALK WITH THE LORD. THIS WORKS FOR ME 🙋♀️ YOU NEED TO FIND OUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL JOURNLING STYLE AND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. Plus that's put of the fun right!? I would never suggest growing your Bible Garden in your EDC (Every Day Carry) or your Daily Driver the main bible you read from. Because what would end up happening is your garden will over power the word of God. You know purpose of you going to your bible is to read from it and the Garden will end up distracting you that's why I recommend a different Bible so you can separate the two. Let's say your reading from your main one and a verse really spoke to you and you want to remember it. Well than this is when you will pull out your other bible and just allow the Holy Spirit to move you freely don't put any limitations on yourself during this time because I believe you will never truly grow & Bl🌺🌺m if you find that your struggling with it pray and ask the Lord to give you a peace about it and move on from there. Never stop yourself because it's something new. Take to the Lord and let him guide you 🧎♀️🙏✝️
Thank you Cat! I’m just (finally) beginning my Bible Garden! I’m over on Bible Gardening and Journaling for Jesus on Facebook . Using my personal size Bible, I used to bring it to church… I love it, but started bringing a different one, so I wanted a use for it! This is it! Tracking my spiritual walk, each day! I have collected lots of things to add!
Thank you Cat, brilliant idea. I feel the Lord is really using you! I am listening to you from the UK. I cannot wait to start my own walk using this method. Bless you ♥️
Oh, My! Thank you! I needed this today. I am a newbie Christian and now I can take it to next level to grow in the bible , God's word to live by. You are to me, indispensable resource that is encouragement and practical to think about to apply it. Your awesome! Keep up doing the wonderful work showing how God can be in so many life's . beautiful how you have grown! I am so very grateful..
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t consider myself a very creative person, but I like to highlight and write notes in my Bible. I always worry that I’m making my Bible look messy. This video gave me a boost of confidence to make my Bible my own.❤️
Cat I love rewatching this video. I start a new journaling bible each year and in it is where I track my spiritual growth, add notes and prayers, and I add post it page markers with a keyword that helps me know what it means for scripture I want to be able to refer back to. Love what you said about tracking our spiritual walk. If we just come to the Bible as any other book we will get zero out of it. We need to build our lives on it, let it convict us, and correct us. God bless you sweet sister!
So excited that you are sharing this process of growing in faith in such a creative way. I'm a note taker in my study bible, l have a journaling bible l color and paint in. I have watched your bible garden video many times and got a compact bible last week to start my own bible garden, ln Faith and Grace Abide.
Greeting Cat, just want to thank you for let God use you and plant spiritual seeds into everyone that yet's to his calling in this bible garden channel. He is truly channeling spiritual seeds through you and we all get to see the spiritual growth, thank you, I pray that God will continue to fill you with his word's. May the blessings of God continue to rest upon you and your family. Thank you for filling my heart with joy.
Thank you for making this video. I’m homeschooling my daughter this year and it includes bible study. I thought bible journaling would be a great way for her to have a relationship with bible studies but I love this bible garden so much better. It’s a way for her to get creative with what she wants to put in it.
Ohhhh this would be an amazing experience with your children to grow & bl🦋🦋m together in God's Word is the main focus as Christians but to be able to grow already not having no strict rules or boundaries on your bible reading time. Girls you will have some amazing furniture Warriors For God's Kingdom. I do hope you share with me your journey through this time. I'll love to hear all about it. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciate it ✍📖💜✝️💜
I bought the inspire NLT Catholic Bible because I wanted a easy to read translation. I am very happy with it and plan on using it for many years to come. I do use my son's Catholic youth Bible for commentary when needed. I make tip ins for notes and I color code in the pages. I chose not to do stickers or art work in it but, I made a journling notebook using a three ring binder and a few different size journals to use stickers and artwork in. And a smaller one for note taking and thoughts and such. So I have it all in one place. It is working for me well. Love your thoughts and inspiration. it's so interesting to see how we all have our own style in how we journal. I love how you have such a creative and organized style for yours. 🥰
I’m so glad you did this vlog. I was just looking yesterday for a video on this. I bought postitnotes. My town has MayMay Made It. She has a great youtube channel. She sells stuff like this. We do have Hobby Lobby in addition to Michaels. I love to recycle cards people gave me. I make book markers and stickers out of them.
I have just read The Bible all the way through from cover to cover for the 1st time. Your enthusiasm and how many times you've read it definitely inspired me
This was awesome! You have inspired us so much. I know so many people who have started a mini Garden Bible! It’s been a blessing! The Lord is using you mightily. It is a great way to track our growth. I like the idea of a simple thought or word that sticks out. Put it in your Garden. Please don’t stop sharing Garden videos. God Bless. I’m just started my second one. Yay! I love the different ones you have, prayer, praise, etc. beautiful
Ohhhh love that name Bible Garden 101 that's the name of playlist thank you so much 😻 I greatly appreciated you watching and helping me this evening 💜✝️💜 You Rock!!
Thanks sis!! I have so enjoyed watching you bloom through all these bibles!!! I was hoping you’d pull out the PTS bible as that’s the one I first watched 😊 ❤️. I’m so glad that you mentioned that each garden can be different . I always struggled with whether I needed to transfer notes and art from one to the new bible. But when I would go back, often times I wouldn’t because it was relevant to a season I was going through then and now something else was more relevant. I do enjoy going back and revisiting them too so I can reflect and bloom some more, see what worked, what I liked, didn’t like !!
I think it’s really cute for a bible garden journal and not really for a Bible because if it was my bible it would feel more like a scrapbook than a bible. Just my honest opinion. But everyone is different 🤍God bless you sweet sister and I admire your kindness! 😊
100%Correct we all have our own walks. This is why I stressed make sure you are taking the necessary steps to ensure your walk and not just copying mine. You wont get anything out of it that way. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciated it sister 💜✝️💜
Hi Cat, Thank you for this video, I have wanted to start a bible garden, but I felt overwhelmed and discouraged, but now watching your video, I know I can do it. Those bibles are beautiful. One thing that I do when I do my bible journaling is to write the date and time. I know people write the dates, but I don't know how many people write the time. I enjoy your videos.
Think of the freedom we have four people in 1940's for imprisoned in Europe they couldn't even have pieces of the Bible they smuggled pieces of the Bible into prison and the freedom we have in this country in the freedom we have around the world today to be able to read our Bibles even and we're so lucky and to be able to do this Sunday Worship the Lord we're so lucky we're so fortunate and I love what you're doing I love it
There is no way that I would get this elaborate myself but this is way cool! Thank you for the video!! You are giving me ideas of what I can use. You have more imagination than I do in this. I’m excited.
So far I'm just reading a few chapters and taking notes but to make sure I'm growing and soaking in I'm not putting stickers or decor until later and I'm doing it so that I can have motivation it's like: oh wow I have a reason to read the bible (I find it hard somehow) and also end up growing :>
Tracing paper is a great cheaper price substitute for vellum! You can draw, write, even watercolor on it. It holds up well, gets that nice crinkle sound without curling up. Thanks for sharing your tips! They are so beautiful!
“When you can’t track your spiritual growth, you don’t become confident in your spiritual walk.” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Wow!! That was such a powerful statement to me. Thank you Cat for your amazing videos.
Very powerful..people with be quiting that for YEARS to come
Yes! I immediately came to the comments as soon as she said it. Truly spoke to me! Thanks cat and may you and yours be blessed in abundance 🥰♥️♥️♥️
Awe thank you so much sister xoxo I am so excited to hear that this video spoke to you. This means so much to me. Hearing this from such amazing women makes me overwhelmed with joy & happiness may God continue to bless us all. As we continue to seek Him out throughout our Bibles ✍📖📚💕
My thoughts exactly. That’s was a word directly from the Holy Spirit through cat. ❤️
I've been deprived of any expression of Faith for 50 years. You have given me the confidence to let my creative self express my new journey as a 'Born Again Christian', without fear of my adversary. I am feeling the purpose God has for me in the future through your love, care and instruction on the creation of Bible Gardens. Loving you through Christ.
I am in the UK, and am exploring creativity in my bible study... I do want to do more than take notes but I want to use all kinds of things to encourage my walk in joy. In bible college I did it a teeny but as our Dean of students was creative.... But back in the ordinary life I didn't follow it up... Now I have gathered all sorts of things to use as I go through my different bibles... I want a she reads truth bible, illustrating bible, and I will use my ol faithful $13 bible from the book store in 2003.. It's falling apart and pretty marked up, but I might use it in bits in my journal... Not sure yet.... But I know at the age of 65 I feel like a kid again !!! No more grown up but a child of The King doing her unique thing before her God and Father!
@@vanessaboman8143 The great British preacher Charles Spurgeon said, “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to a person that isn’t.”
@judith that is so sad to hear. It's heartbreaking but I have heard hundreds of sisters and brothers like you that have said they have been in the word for years but cannot connect with it watching my videos have given them a whole new way of looking at their Bible and best of all a new and exciting way to seek the Lord out. Thank you so much for watching and most of all sharing your story here. I know that can't be easy thing to do. But I hope others will read this and understand you can step out and try something new & different if you find out later it's not for you well you tried instead of just (settling in a dull and stale relationship) I think if you were really reading your bible for years than you would know your main purpose of reading the bibles is not to check it off a list ✔ but to live it out. Soooo if you're finding that your bible study time is dull when than your relationship with God is dull too. I'm sorry to say but I don't believe that's how God planned your relationship. Noooooo He wants His children to be on Fire for Him and excited so excited that the whole world and so they are a child of God. Just my opinion ✍📖💜✝️💜
@@catwoods5499 Thankyou for your loving reply Cat. When I said that I had been deprived of any expression of Faith, I meant that Gods Word was "withheld" from me as a Bible was not allowed in the house. Due to "oppression" I have not been able to read the Bible for 50 years, but I changed that this year and am now working through it from cover to cover and Bible journaling as well, which is taking me deeper into it.
Praise ABBA 🧎♀️🙏✝️
I love the term “bible garden” and the implication for planting seeds and blooming, but don’t forget the harvest! Blessings❣️
I grew up being told that it’s a sin to mark up in my Bible (which is a total lie and there’s really nothing in the Bible that says we can’t highlight and journal about what God is teaching us). I knew that whoever was telling me this was just incorrect because I saw many pastors and even my own pastor with some notes and highlights in their Bible, so it reassured me that it was okay. I love studying my Bible and marking it up because I can easily find passages that I’m thinking about and I just feel good flipping through my marked up Bible to see all the lessons I’ve learned over the years. It’s also amazing to read over my old prayers and see how they were answered. I’ve been wanting to start a Bible garden since I discovered your channel but I didn’t really know how to do it. Thank you so much Cat for giving me all these ideas and inspiration!! I can’t wait to see the following videos in this series ❤️
Let the spirit guide u 🤎 its never a sin to learn from God word. I got told the same but cats videos truly have been a blessing. If it was not for her following the holy spirit to do this channel I would probably not be all into my Bible.... she helped in such a huge way 🤎🤗
Rebecca Ly my husband feels the same way about writing in the Bible. But, I told him my Bible is My Sword and I need to be able to pull it out at any time to use. My sword is My sword! Each soldiers sword is decorated differently and personalized. I love this idea.
The Escape of Notions Amen to that!
Absolutely! Its a textbook but for faith! If its not marked up, you might be missing out on spiritual gains.
These are so beautiful in my opinion. I have tried to start mine. My husband laughed at me and said it is hilarious. He is not a very nice person. I am going to just happily continue on this creative journey.
bdaina awwh, Yes! you keep happily doing you. There is no wrong or right way of journaling.
AMEN 🙏
As a believer and a gardener, I love this idea. What to do during the winter months when I can't plant in my outer garden, I can work on my inner, spiritual garden and document it like this. I had never heard of a Bible Garden until today. What a wonderful idea. Thank you.
This is soooooo beautifully said. Thank you. I, too, found this idea today and I have been going down a rabbit hole. But starting this tomorrow.
Yay!!! I started my bible garden about 2 weeks ago!!!! Can’t get enough of the Bible garden videos!! Keep them coming!
Ohhhh you got it sis 💕
I’m a pastor . I needed a fun way to study the Word . Thank you . I enjoy your channel and my Bible garden is growing. Aloha and blessings from Hawai’i
Ohhhh WOWZER really. This is so encouraging to hear that my channel is able to bless and help a pastor too. I give God all the Glory here. So many people have come to me saying this way of looking at their bibles has really sparked a new love & excitement for God's Holy Sacred Word. Praise the Lord. God is on fire here and Satan will not stop it either sister. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel I greatly appreciate it please if you would pray over my channel that the evilness of the world will stay away🧎♀️🙏 💜✝️💜
Family dollar has such cute Bible stickers
thank you. Bible stickers,great.
We're so glad you discovered this at an early age like me I'm 69 now and when I got my first King James Bible I started stenciling little hearts in it when God said something really special to me and it's it's such a blessing and I didn't care what other people thought I underlined all over the place in my King James Bible and if they saw its for what and that's before I ever heard of Bible journaling which is something people just started in this last maybe 10 years and if I'd thought of it I would have back then
Never heard of a Bible garden- this is amazing!
My prayer is that we can all be sitting at the feet of Jesus. Just like Mary. Thanks for the message, Cat.
thank you so much for the wonderful video, I've been a mixed media artist for a number of years, and just today I stumbled on your video how to start your Bible garden, I feel like my prayers have been answered and I can't wait to fall on your videos, what a great way to praise God. I like how you tell your students to make it their own Bible. Going shopping for another Bible, and I can't wait to get started. Thank you so much and God bless you
Hello! I’m a pastor in California and I just want to say I love this idea of a bible garden! ❤️ i already bible journal but nothing like this. Thank you now I’m going to grow my own garden, god bless you 😇
You are so right how your Bible can sum of your thoughts at different times in your life. I have had so much family loss in 9 years. The hardest being the unexpected loss of my oldest Son. I am here to say if not for God's mercy, I would be gone on all levels. I still have one set of footprints in my sand, and they aren't mine. My youngest Child got me into coloring, which saved my sanity. I was so happy to discover harvesting a Bible Garden. I know God has kept me here to help other Mother's that have lost a child. Some are angry with God, some can't think (been there) and others are allowing God to carry them. I have never been angry. I realized it was because of my faith. Anyway, I want you to know that your videos are a Blessing to me. God Bless You in all you do!
I just started mine in a compact bible, using highlights, washie tape and stickers to highlight verses that I often reference or want to find quickly. I've only done Paul's epistles so far but I'm loving it. I went and got some fine point pens and highlighters in Walmart back to school section. I will be looking for some see thru stickers and decided it wont matter if I cover some words because this is going to be my quick reference bible. Its the one that I've always carried in my purse. I am really looking forward to this series!!!!
This is so wonderful and inspiring ❣️❣️❣️❣️
I started bible journaling last year (I spent hundreds of dollars to purchase Bibles, stickers and journal supplies that are now just sitting in plastic containers) then I lost the motivation to continue. The LORD led me to your channel and now I’m HUNGRY to start again. 😍 Thank you!!
P.S. I LOVE black kitties and tuxedos ... I have two tuxedo kitties and one black kitty (I had three but they went to heaven last year) ❤️💛💛
I hope we can have STACKS if Bibles in Heaven and lots of stickers, markers, and supplies so we can make Bible gardens forever! ❤️❤️💛💛💚💚
I absolutely love this. I am a very new Christian and have a lot of growing to do in the way of gods word and walking in that word. Picking out a word in an area you need to grow and focusing on that and journaling your thoughts of the moment is a stroke of genius, THANKYOU! Much love from Australia.
YOU ARE A SWEET BLESSING 💜🌺💐ESPECIALLY TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH STUFF RIGHT NOW! GIVES ME SOMETHING TO BE LIFTED UP BY🐛🦋
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT SISTER.
This was so helpful. I wanted to start but have been a little bewildered. I did not want just a decorated Bible..but I wanted something that helped me grow deeper in my relationship with God.
That's why you do your decorating for the end of your study. Too many people get it backwards want a pretty Bible and enjoy the Creative process of it but when it comes to daily watering and pulling the weeds of the garden they refuse to do it. So you will end up seeing a overgrown garden in their own personal lives. Because they never took the time to actually plant the seeds properly and deep in their heart & soul than to come back in ready to work & meditate while you are waiting for your Bible Garden to full grow & bloom as God intended it to be you. Pray over everything you do in your Bible sis He will always lead you to what's BEST FOR YOU!!! ✍📖💕📚
@@catwoods5499I love this concept that you shared here. I’ve been interested in Bible journaling for years, but it felt so high pressure - what if I regretted my art decisions? I never did start, but I bought an interleaved Bible so I can write my study notes and a small daily planner so I can write quick summaries as I go through my Bible in a Year reading plan and podcast. I’ve also been watching the Prayer Bible series that’s been trending this past week on Sisterita’s channel, and now I want to add that to the mix!
The Growth Co. journal has also been on my wish list to use in a similar way to what you shared here, except that it doesn’t have the actual Bible included. That seems more low pressure than decorating in my Bible, but blank pages are also intimidating! The interleaved Bible is a nice compromise because each page of Biblical text is next to a blank page for notes - I just had to tell myself that those pages are for me to grow closer to God through his word and NOT for perfectionism. If I feel perfectionism creeping in, I know that is not if God, just like you mentioned in your video.
I just bought my first bible at the beginning of the month. I am excited to learn and grow spiritually
In November 2016, I was at a deep, dark depressive place. I was going to ponder my New Year Resolutions but I thought, “Why? You break them before the end of the month!” God gave me a notion...theme your year. My first year was “Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.” It was fantastic. I kept a planner journal. 2018 was “Be Still and Know that I am God.” 2019 was “Be ye Doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” 2020 is “Seek Him while he may be found.” I think I will start a “Create in Me” Bible Garden first just to strengthen me. Actually, I’ll start one for each year and when I’m needing to revisit that particular season. This makes me so happy and encouraged.
Yess Thank you for sharing, your testimony inspired me to pick a theme and thank you!!! You don't know how much you helped me!! Be Blessed 🥰
That's prefect sister I love it... And best of all you understand the whole point of the Bible Garden. It's really personal and a beautiful thing when you get to go back through your past years bibles and see just how much you have grown and BL🌺🌺M. I know so many people get discouraged on their Spiritual Walk, they have been in the Word of years follow just as their mother & fathers have before them went to church every Sunday. But still lack their own confidence they are still unsure if their (DOING IT ALL RIGHT!?) they may keep a prayers journal or two but can you imagine if those prayers and answers were in their bibles right next to the scriptures they were reading for that day. It's amazing I don't know what else I can say. I'm so very grateful for this chance to share my thoughts and I am very thankful that you also shared your insights too this is what my ministry is all about helping inspiring each other to grow & Bl🌺🌺m stronger together. Helping each other get ready for the Kingdom of God ✍📖💜✝️💜
BlessedVive Oh, I know exactly how you feel because I felt it too. God is so good and so faithful to put things in our path to inspire and strengthen our journey., You will LOVE doing this. Last night, twice, REST fell in my lap, so I’m hoping that REST IN HIM is my 2021 theme. I’ll have the rest of the year for confirmation. I’ve found when God gives you a theme, it is confirmed over and over during that time. My FB page is The Way and The Walk, if you would like to visit. And, I’d love for you to sub to my channel. Blessings sweet sister.
Your story touches me! It's obvious to see Jesus capturing your heart and transforming you, drawing you to love Him more through the years! Thanks for sharing this....He is working in His children, praise Lord Jesus!
Sister Cat, even though I have been a Christian for a long time and study a lot, i love this idea❤️ I too love to be creative. And this will be a fun project! I plan on drawing some simple sticker and printing some out, they have some beautiful ones I found on Pinterest, also they have lots a scripture and quotes. I have a personal size bible I hardly use , this will give it some new life! And for me too! Just a tip, if anyone is interested, I really like the app ‘print to size” I can print any image in any size on any kind of paper. I have been using the images in my Journals for a long time! Thank you so much for all that you share. Prayers and blessings!❤️
The app is ONLY for ipad or iPhone... I have neither! So can't use it sadly but I like the idea a lot. I am not in the needing a megaphone or ipad, so will have to wait for the app!
No I have an Android and I have Pinterest
I’m glad you said that! We spend more time shopping for shoes, watching trash TV and other nonsense than we do reading Gods word. And you can’t do that spending 5,10,15mins with him. It’s like any other relationship you have to spend time and cultivate it. Thank you for making that a point.
What a wonderful concept! To actually see yourself GROW in the Word. I also loved when you said “When you can’t track your spiritual growth, you don’t become confident in your spiritual walk”. That is very powerful to me. I spent 12 year’s studying the Bible through Precept Upon Precept, Kay Arthur’s studies. I would spend hours each night doing my study for the day. As I look back at my Bible there are a lot of notes about the Scripture, but nothing about how I felt about it. It really like a seminary class, very detailed. I did learn a lot about the Bible, but not myself; and did not form a bond with God as I want to. I am going to give this a try along with the Fervent study. You have given me so much inspiration to get back into the Word of God. Thank you, I believe you are an angel in disguise, and a true blessing to all of us to find our true and real bond with God!
One word: COOL! (Okay, so I'm old. lol ) Love all of the ideas you've given so far. My mind is going a hundred miles an hour. My mother has all of this kind of stuff. I'm going to share your video with her. Thanks, Cat! Can't wait to see more.
You are not old! You are a daughter of Sara (Abraham's wife in the bible). In case you did not know what I was talking about.
Don't fear about messing up.....just what I needed to here!! I just got my first journaling Bible yesterday and had so many plans for it, but as soon as I opened it up I was afraid of messing it up. I love the idea of a Bible Garden!!
You are such a blessing Cat!!! I am so happy to find someone just like me but can show me how to utilize all the things I love!!!🥰
This is so beautiful the thought of handing down your spiritual walk in a physical form for reference to your children. They can look back with you and ask about all the praises, prayers, and growth.
I'm excited my stuff get my bible garden comes in Wednesday...I started showing my husband my journaling page he looked at me said I support you because your my wife but I don't worship like that and I hope have another bible study out of write notes I was hurt at first then told him not going change how I worship God because you don't like how words being covered by my art....I'm actually fixing be getting ready order NKJV journaling bible for just my notes studying my main go to Bible my ESV bible is my bible garden..I want thank you for planting seed sister inspired me be me again not be afraid worship God using my art talent gift he gave me for our heavenly father... vintage butterfly mushroom flower themed scrapbooking kit from Amazon
"watch your spiritual growth bloom " - how true! I am building up a collection of post-its each time I listen to a church reading or bible study - my bible is alive, growing and changing - just like me!
Amen I'm so excited to hear this
Keep on Shining bright and growing stronger as you Bl🍀🍀m throughout your Bible ✍📖⚘🍃🦋💕🙏
You are an absolute blessing 🙏🏾
Thank you so much! Can't wait to add on to my Bible Study.
10.4K subscribers! Congratulations, Cat! I pray you get many million more.
Now I understand!! 🙏. Thank you for explaining the purpose of what the Bible garden is for! I’m highly impressed ❤️.
Devotionals are also great little books to use as bible gardens. Some of them are very pretty and well-crafted. Ollie's discount store is my favorite place to find bibles and devotionals below retail prices.
I have shared that too 📖✍💖
Great idea! ❤️
You are so talented, really pretty and all with a purpose!
✝️ 🌼 🌷 🎵
Good night wow I love it when you share thank you for explaining this in different sections it’s a amazing journey it’s truly a beautiful wonderful amazing blessings you inspire me every time thank you beautiful sweet sister praying for you and your families and everyone in here blessings too all thank you for sharing watch the replay 🙌🏾🛡❤️🙌🏾🛡❤️🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊
Thank you for sharing your God-given creative gifts with us to aid us on our spiritual journey. I especially like how you emphasize that growing a Bible garden isn't merely about aesthetics; rather, it's to help inspire us as we receive The Word.
Watching this a 2nd time... enjoying this
Thanks for your video, it was so encouraging, I was so depressed because of the pain in my lower back and hips, I was going to give up on my relationship with God because no healing has come. This encouraged me to get my Bible out and pray and seek God. Thanks
I'm sending lots of prayers up for you sister. May God bless you with his healing power 🧎♀️🙏✝️
U r completely AMAZING. I love your quote. " When u can't track your personal growth, you don't become strong in your spiritual walk."❤❤❤
Absolutely love the little green bubble with the pink flowers it is beautiful I wish I can make my own but I’m just not that talented🌸💕
Hi Cat! Thank you for this Garden Bible series! Because of my OCD & minimalist tendencies, I can’t bring myself to mark my Bible even with pencil & I don’t want a huge journaling Bible as I prefer the small or personal size Bible which is the only one I have for reading, Church, praying, everything. I’m so glad to have come across your channel because you showed me that I can Bible Journal using a small Bible but I use watercolor paper or decorative card stock to journal in and I don’t permanently glue them in because I don’t have the heart to buy another small Bible & set this one aside. So when this Bible gets full, I’ll pull out all the journaling cards and bind it into a book, stick them in a photo album or tie it with a nice ribbon with the year(s) label on it for archiving.
Heh, that's a great idea! I also struggle writing in my Bible but I've been using post it notes and those tabs with clear bottoms to write notes (but you can still see the text below) I am not sure about stickers, but I do believe to each their own and I also believe that the LORD calls each person differently. I am a fan of a companion spiritual journal in which I can write anything, draw and or decorate as inspired by my reading of the Bible. Plus, I don't want to spend money on bibles when I have so many other journals that can be filed away nicely after use. I would not give my Bible Garden to anyone, except my husband, if I pass away, but I STILL LOVE THIS CONCEPT. I am going to think about how I can make a garden from my Bible Study efforts without sacrificing the Bible. I MAY get a companion Bible from a second hand book store and blow it up (as Cat says). Not sure. Lots of fun ahead though, as well as blessings, I'm sure. God bless you and Cat in your journeys. c
That's exactly what I recommend doing sister and a journaling Bibles are great too they are designed to be colored on they have margins so you're not covering up the words you can really grow your own Bible Garden as you see it. I always stress DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S IN MY OWN BIBLE THIS IS MY OWN WALK WITH THE LORD. THIS WORKS FOR ME 🙋♀️ YOU NEED TO FIND OUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL JOURNLING STYLE AND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. Plus that's put of the fun right!?
I would never suggest growing your Bible Garden in your EDC (Every Day Carry) or your Daily Driver the main bible you read from.
Because what would end up happening is your garden will over power the word of God. You know purpose of you going to your bible is to read from it and the Garden will end up distracting you that's why I recommend a different Bible so you can separate the two.
Let's say your reading from your main one and a verse really spoke to you and you want to remember it. Well than this is when you will pull out your other bible and just allow the Holy Spirit to move you freely don't put any limitations on yourself during this time because I believe you will never truly grow & Bl🌺🌺m if you find that your struggling with it pray and ask the Lord to give you a peace about it and move on from there. Never stop yourself because it's something new. Take to the Lord and let him guide you 🧎♀️🙏✝️
Thank you Cat! I’m just (finally) beginning my Bible Garden! I’m over on Bible Gardening and Journaling for Jesus on Facebook . Using my personal size Bible, I used to bring it to church… I love it, but started bringing a different one, so I wanted a use for it! This is it! Tracking my spiritual walk, each day! I have collected lots of things to add!
Thank you Cat, brilliant idea. I feel the Lord is really using you! I am listening to you from the UK. I cannot wait to start my own walk using this method. Bless you ♥️
Yay it’s finally here!!! 🥺❤️❤️
Oooooh, I've never heard of this! This video just made me want to make my own bible garden!
I'm excited to hear this make sure you check out my Bible Garden 101 playlist
I started a small journal on Bloom. Thank you for the ideas Your ideas are wonderful
This is so good! Grateful that I found your channel. Can’t wait to get started on my Bible garden💕
Oh, My! Thank you! I needed this today. I am a newbie Christian and now I can take it to next level to grow in the bible , God's word to live by. You are to me, indispensable resource that is encouragement and practical to think about to apply it. Your awesome! Keep up doing the wonderful work showing how God can be in so many life's . beautiful how you have grown! I am so very grateful..
Love your videos God bless you my sister. I just got my promise Bible and last night I told my daughter I don’t know how to do this. Thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t consider myself a very creative person, but I like to highlight and write notes in my Bible. I always worry that I’m making my Bible look messy. This video gave me a boost of confidence to make my Bible my own.❤️
Such an enjoyable and purposeful video. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️
Hi Cat!
Love how your Bible looks, beautiful. Thank you for your time teaching us how to make our Bible Garden. ☺️🙏🏻🌻
Cat I love rewatching this video. I start a new journaling bible each year and in it is where I track my spiritual growth, add notes and prayers, and I add post it page markers with a keyword that helps me know what it means for scripture I want to be able to refer back to.
Love what you said about tracking our spiritual walk. If we just come to the Bible as any other book we will get zero out of it. We need to build our lives on it, let it convict us, and correct us. God bless you sweet sister!
This is amazing! I've been a pastor for nearly 20 years now, but never heard about. Exited to start my first bible garden right now.
Absolutely love this video! Keep blooming!
So excited that you are sharing this process of growing in faith in such a creative way. I'm a note taker in my study bible, l have a journaling bible l color and paint in. I have watched your bible garden video many times and got a compact bible last week to start my own bible garden, ln Faith and Grace Abide.
I’m so excited!
I love this and I love your sweet voice ! I can't wait to learn more about Bible gardens !
Bless your heart Mary I love your name your sweet kindness never change 💜✝️💜
How fun, never heard of this before.
Wow beautiful bibles ❤️🤗
You explained this so well. Thank you and I am excited to follow the series.
I’ve been staring my garden a little, but a little at a time. Always enjoy your videos 👍🏻❤️
That is prefect sister. There is no rush this is all about you and your relationship with Jesus. It's so important to go at your own pace 💜✝️💜
Thank you Cat! Looking forward to see the other video's, you are an inspiration.
Greeting Cat, just want to thank you for let God use you and plant spiritual seeds into everyone that yet's to his calling in this bible garden channel. He is truly channeling spiritual seeds through you and we all get to see the spiritual growth, thank you, I pray that God will continue to fill you with his word's. May the blessings of God continue to rest upon you and your family. Thank you for filling my heart with joy.
Thanks for helping me understand what you are doing that is a wonderful Idea and am sure going to start it right away!
Love the series! Glad you’re taking your time and getting a thorough guide for everyone 🥰
Thank you for making this video. I’m homeschooling my daughter this year and it includes bible study. I thought bible journaling would be a great way for her to have a relationship with bible studies but I love this bible garden so much better. It’s a way for her to get creative with what she wants to put in it.
Ohhhh this would be an amazing experience with your children to grow & bl🦋🦋m together in God's Word is the main focus as Christians but to be able to grow already not having no strict rules or boundaries on your bible reading time. Girls you will have some amazing furniture Warriors For God's Kingdom. I do hope you share with me your journey through this time. I'll love to hear all about it. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciate it ✍📖💜✝️💜
I bought the inspire NLT Catholic Bible because I wanted a easy to read translation. I am very happy with it and plan on using it for many years to come. I do use my son's Catholic youth Bible for commentary when needed. I make tip ins for notes and I color code in the pages. I chose not to do stickers or art work in it but, I made a journling notebook using a three ring binder and a few different size journals to use stickers and artwork in. And a smaller one for note taking and thoughts and such. So I have it all in one place. It is working for me well. Love your thoughts and inspiration. it's so interesting to see how we all have our own style in how we journal. I love how you have such a creative and organized style for yours. 🥰
I love stickers
I’m so glad you did this vlog. I was just looking yesterday for a video on this. I bought postitnotes. My town has MayMay Made It. She has a great youtube channel. She sells stuff like this. We do have Hobby Lobby in addition to Michaels. I love to recycle cards people gave me. I make book markers and stickers out of them.
Adore you and all you do!🤗
Great video, I’ll be watching the others.
This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
Love this video Cat. Really helpful, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Your Bible gardens are amazing.
Thanks so much for sharing Cat. Much love and blessings to you. 🥰🙏🏽♥️
I have just read The Bible all the way through from cover to cover for the 1st time. Your enthusiasm and how many times you've read it definitely inspired me
Thank you for this awesome video
This was awesome! You have inspired us so much. I know so many people who have started a mini Garden Bible! It’s been a blessing! The Lord is using you mightily. It is a great way to track our growth. I like the idea of a simple thought or word that sticks out. Put it in your Garden. Please don’t stop sharing Garden videos. God Bless. I’m just started my second one. Yay! I love the different ones you have, prayer, praise, etc. beautiful
I am so excited about this. I just ordered a new Bible a couple days ago. I can't wait to get started.
Yasss Thank you Bible Garden 101!!!!
Ohhhh love that name Bible Garden 101 that's the name of playlist thank you so much 😻 I greatly appreciated you watching and helping me this evening 💜✝️💜 You Rock!!
@@catwoods5499 aww you're very welcome!!! Stay Blessed and awesome!! 😁💖🙌🏽
Thanks so much Cat. I’m excited to see this 😊💜
Thank you. Helpful indeed. Be creative 🌼
Hi Cat! So inspiring! I've been doing this for 2 years. I do something daily now. Thank you! 🙏♥️😻
Can’t wait for the video of how to put the tab stickers on... God Bless..
Cat, this is all new to me. Thank you for sharing this neat way to study and then create in your bible✨💖
Thanks sis!! I have so enjoyed watching you bloom through all these bibles!!! I was hoping you’d pull out the PTS bible as that’s the one I first watched 😊 ❤️. I’m so glad that you mentioned that each garden can be different . I always struggled with whether I needed to transfer notes and art from one to the new bible. But when I would go back, often times I wouldn’t because it was relevant to a season I was going through then and now something else was more relevant. I do enjoy going back and revisiting them too so I can reflect and bloom some more, see what worked, what I liked, didn’t like !!
I think it’s really cute for a bible garden journal and not really for a Bible because if it was my bible it would feel more like a scrapbook than a bible. Just my honest opinion. But everyone is different 🤍God bless you sweet sister and I admire your kindness! 😊
100%Correct we all have our own walks. This is why I stressed make sure you are taking the necessary steps to ensure your walk and not just copying mine. You wont get anything out of it that way. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciated it sister 💜✝️💜
Just wonderful, thank you!🌺x
Hi Cat,
Thank you for this video, I have wanted to start a bible garden, but I felt overwhelmed and discouraged, but now watching your video, I know I can do it. Those bibles are beautiful.
One thing that I do when I do my bible journaling is to write the date and time. I know people write the dates, but I don't know how many people write the time.
I enjoy your videos.
Think of the freedom we have four people in 1940's for imprisoned in Europe they couldn't even have pieces of the Bible they smuggled pieces of the Bible into prison and the freedom we have in this country in the freedom we have around the world today to be able to read our Bibles even and we're so lucky and to be able to do this Sunday Worship the Lord we're so lucky we're so fortunate and I love what you're doing I love it
Hi Cat, thank you for this.. 🥰🙏🎚❤️
There is no way that I would get this elaborate myself but this is way cool! Thank you for the video!! You are giving me ideas of what I can use. You have more imagination than I do in this. I’m excited.
So far I'm just reading a few chapters and taking notes but to make sure I'm growing and soaking in I'm not putting stickers or decor until later and I'm doing it so that I can have motivation it's like: oh wow I have a reason to read the bible (I find it hard somehow) and also end up growing :>
Very beautiful. I want to start this.
Awesome! Looking forward to your other videos 😁
Love this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌹😍 Thank you so much sis!!! ❤️🙏
