Bible Art Journaling

First up this week I’m going to be cheeky and start with a litte plug for an upcoming adventure that I need your help with!

At the end of September I will be travelling to Tanzania for 3 weeks with 2 friends. The first 2 weeks will be spent volunteering with First Aid Africa teaching first aid and the 3rd week will be spent climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (eek scary)!! This is where you come in. Each of us has a fundraising target of £1600 for the charity and If you have any spare monies I would be eternity grateful if you would sponsor me to climb the mountain – the funds for this will be completely funded my myself.

You can find my fundraising page and more info on the link below 🙂

Now onto this week’s blog…

As many of you know I’m a Christian and I’m also a nurse. In some respects this is a great combination however as the years have gone on (a few too many if I actually count them up) I have come to realise it is also not. Shift work is never good for routine and makes attending anything regularly very difficult. Every week means different shifts and different days, sadly people aren’t just sick mon-fri 9-5. This has made it difficult for me to really feel connected and apart of church life! So I’ve had to be creative in finding other ways to express my faith.

One afternoon on Instagram I came across a bible art journaling community and thought I’d give it a go. You don’t have to be good at art! That’s not the point thankfully! The point is to look at scripture and express yourself creatively. It can be very personal or you can share it with the world! I have decided to share some of mine to hopefully inspire others to give it a go!
