Faithbooking: Scrapbooking your Faith!
What is faithbooking? While there are different definitions of
what faithbooking means, it is simply incorporating your faith
throughout your scrapbooks. A few common meanings may include:
A means to express our faith. A journey of faith. The ability to
capture life's lessons that God teaches us. An eternal legacy
for our children. A witnessing tool. An incredible, permanent
reminder of our God Moment and His hand in our lives. Scripture,
thoughts, prayers, blessings, memories, letters, and stories
combines with our photographs to always remember our personal
and spiritual journey with the Lord.
Why should you start faithbooking? Because we are commanded to.
Throughout the Bible, we are commanded to remember. Remember the
praiseworthy deeds of the Lord. Psalm 78:4 We are also told to
teach. Teach them to your children...Dt. 4:9 Teach them the
right way to live...1 Kings 8:36 There are many more scripture
verses that tell us to remember and teach. What better way to
remember and to teach then with faithbooking! Remember and teach
through your journaling and scripture verses then enhance with
photos and embellishments.
If you currently scrapbook, don't wait to finish your current
scrapbook album to start faithbooking. For me, they are onemin
the same. I like to incorporate my faith throughout my
scrapbooks as one. They are not two separate projects. Always
start your faithbook in prayer. Then you can start simply by
adding scripture and verses to capture the theme of the layout
and then progress into journaling more thought provoking faith
questions.
If scrapbooking is not your thing, then consider keeping a
journal. Express your feelings on paper and then share the
portions you want with others as you feel led. Remember there is
not a right or wrong way to faithbook-just get started today!
