Faithbooking

Faithbooking = a creative expression of a family's spiritual journey, values and events that are captured in scrapbooks, diaries or journals that combine the use of photographs, decorated papers, scripture, thoughts, prayers, blessings, stories and embellishments such as buttons, ribbon and other creative art media. The goal of faithbooking is to creatively preserve and tell a story about how a family grows spiritually (definition as told by wikipedia)

A few years ago I started writing a journal about what God was speaking in my heart. A FW speaker made the comment that all too often we are quick to take numerous notes in classes or during sermons, but fail to write down what God says in the quiet moments of our lives. This really struck me as true. I don't believe that God literally appears and talks to us, but if we are walking with him one can't help but notice the ways he speaks to us through circumstances, other people, personal devotions, prayer, the still quiet moments, and the thoughts he brings to mind.

These days I have gotten more into blogging and less into the pen and paper, mostly b/c it hurts my wrist less. I felt it was high time I started a blog that expresses elements of my faith sojourn.
