Shine...like a jack-o-lantern

Someone shared with me how they were Bible Quilting a Women's Retreat notes and it made me realize that by Bible Quilting sermon notes or Bible Study notes would help me meditate on God's word more thoroughly. The attached picture is the notes from a recent sermon at our church and also made me think of new friends I've made through Bible Quilting.

Who are we in Christ? I started from the center and worked outward, using only key words or short phrases. We all have hard days that we just really need to claim the promises God as given us as one of His children. This "I am" page is one that I have treasured, turning to it over and over again to remind myself of these precious attributes we share in Christ. I could have colored the background in, but I went with the simplicity of the pastel look. I liked claiming these attributes of who I am in Christ so much that I made a template in order to share it with others to start similar pages. Click over to Sample Templates to see a finished page using this template. This is one of my favorites! Have you done one yet? Please share in Comments section below:

It took me two years to finish my original Bible Quilt journal. I had "the end" on my mind, so that's how I came up with this theme (I think). The photo quality is not great...and this was before I had discovered Papermate Flair pens, so it's just a couple G-2 pens. Sometimes simplicity reminds us just to focus on the weight of the message we're writing! #alphaandomega #biblequiltjournal
