The Bible is full of charismatic female figures. Whenever we encounter these poignant story lines, it's helpful to capture these ladies of faith on a Bible Quilt Journal page.
Ruth and Esther have full books whereas other women only have a few lines or passages. Yet we can learn something from each of them.
Mary of Bethany
Mary was the sister of Martha and Lazarus. Each sibling seemed to have a special relationship with Jesus and He was a beloved guest in their home.
When I attended a Bible study at a local church on women in the Bible, I enjoyed the song introduction which correlated with this topic. I made a QR code that I could add to my page and easily reference this song in the future.
I incorporated some of the handouts, cutting them down and gluing them directly onto my BQ page, leaving space for notes and additional scriptures to write in later.
Lastly, I added some final touches of washi, stickers, and doodling.
Have a woman in the Bible that you've been curious to learn more about?
This set of templates may help you get started:
I was also inspired to make a set of tabs to use as I create BQ pages on Women of the Bible.
Whether you're attending a Bible study which is focused on a character or a book of the Bible or you're doing an independent study on your own, these tabs can provide you with a quick way to categorize your journal.
Attach these directly to your BQ page or use washi tape to add it to a page protector if you're using a 3-ring binder.
Another option is to use a Happy planner punch system and build your journal over time. This is what I'm currently doing for the Bible study I'm in this fall.
