Somehow, I think the two get confused, a lot! For me being spiritual is having an ongoing conversation with God and religion is a group of people who have decided to worship in a certain way that meets with their ideas of how such worship should be structured. In honesty, I have a very hard time connecting God's word with all the splits between believers leading to so many churches.
As for me faith is simple. I thank the Lord when instead of falling down the stairs I somehow manage to right myself. I thank Him when I see a beautiful sunset and say hello to Him when, as often happens to me, a street light goes dark as I drive up to it. I think He must be tired of hearing from me all day long! I don't think too many people know just how close I feel to the Lord. His presence is like a wonderful, fuzzy blanket that is wrapped around me and for which I am grateful, every second of every day, always.
Which brings me to the reason for this blog. I feel the need to publicly share my belief in God and the journey I've started to again study the bible. To this end I've joined BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) as well as letting the creative soul that God gave me be used to praise His word. I recently found the Bible Journaling Community FB Group which has led me to far more reading of the Lord's word than ever before!
I hope you will join my on this journey! For today's pictures, I'm sharing a file I created highlighting my favorite prayer!

In a future post, I'll tell you about journaling bibles and the supplies that I've found that work!
Have a wonderful day!
