Trust the process...

2 comments

 

When women are new to Bible Quilting they can become overwhelmed by all the choices or completed pages of others. I encourage them to trust the process & to do it their own way.

 

Kids just jump in and go for it!

We can all use a little of this jump-in philosophy and not overthink what we're doing.

 

We'll all make mistakes and maybe not get down on the page exactly what we had envisioned, but Bible Quilting is about the Word of God and getting it deeper into our hearts, not how it appears on a piece of paper.

 

"Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him." Proverbs 30:5

Here is my first finished page! I really had to follow the process, as I was completely overwhelmed by all the scriptures in my head. Plus wanting to ‘get it right ‘. Hopefully I’m over that now. I know everyone else has already done a page similar but I have done this as I needed it.

    Start by creating a Bible Quilt page for a loved one

    Have someone you pray for regularly? Do you have family members in challenging circumstances that has you scrambling for verses to pray over them? Do you have particular verses that you pray over your family or need a way to collect all of these scriptures in one place? Create a Bible Quilt page to "harvest" verses to help focus your prayers over your loved one! You can use a photo or highlight their name by using stickers or a bold hand-lettering style, then write the verses around that person like you're surrounding them in prayer. You can ask family members what their favorite verses are...or even have them write a couple verses on a #biblequiltjournal page. I've gone to my personal BQ pages over and over again to help me pray in a focused, consistent manner over my family. Sometimes reading the scriptures aloud is another way to revitalize your prayer time. By the way, I did this family page years ago & used one of my favorite pics of all of us at a Baylor game. This page has become even more special to me because our oldest son is now attending Baylor. The Lord has been laying the foundation for this all along and we're just now experiencing His plan. Maybe one of the heart templates would help get you started:

    Start with YOU!

    Do you have special verses that are dear to your heart? Maybe you have a favorite passage that you turn to when you're in distress? Using your "go-to" scriptures is a great way to start your Bible Quilt journal! Some people have "life verses" that they have written on note cards or printed on plaques in their home. A beautiful way to synthesize these all together would be to create a #biblequiltjournal page: So, if you're wondering where to start...look around your home to see what scriptures are already surrounding you. Flip through your Bible to see where you've highlighted. Rummage around your desk to see what cards you've kept because you were impacted by the scriptures included. "Harvest" these favorite verses onto a page and see how His Word blesses you! Using a simple block template might help get you started:
