Friends, God is waiting to speak to our hearts. His word is filled with the nourishing

truth and wisdom we need to help us blossom. God wants us to root ourselves in faith

so we can develop a more intimate relationship with him. The more time we spend

reading, meditating, and reflecting on His word the more deeply rooted in our faith we

will become.

This color journal has been designed to help you meditate and reflect on God’s word in

a creative way. Be sure to read over the next few pages to find out how to get the most

out of this color journal.

Included are tips, examples, and suggestions to help you get started. I am so excited

that you decided to join me on this journey to creatively blossom one petal at a time!

It's my prayer that you'll be inspired to get in the word; I encourage you to grow in

your relationship with Jesus.

This coloring journal has been designed to help you meditate and reflect on God’s word in a fun and

creative way. It includes a total of seven coloring sheets, seven journaling sheets, and a special bonus.

Feel free to use the color sheet and journal pages together or separately. There is also no specified

timeline for you to follow. It can be completed in seven days, seven weeks, or seven months— it’s

completely up to you!

The Color Sheet

Every color sheet has a different look and feel to it to

make coloring fun. Plus a new bible verse has been

worked into each design for you to meditate on as you

color.

The Journal Page

The corresponding journaling pages are perfect for writing

down your thoughts and prayers. There is enough space to

punch holes for easy storing and plenty of room to journal.

Underneath every bible verse, you’ll find a short prayer to

blossom your faith.

Recommended Items to Use With This Color Journal:

Your Bible

A Binder or Folder For Storing Your Pages

Hole Puncher

Pencil Sharpener

Pens, Pencils, and Highlighters

Markers (Both thick and fine point)

Colored Pencils and Crayons

A Printer

And Any Other Creative Tools You Might Think Of!

*Tip: I recommend printing all of the pages to have them handy. If you want to print the color sheets and journal

pages only, be sure to switch the setting on your printer to print pages 6-21.

Meditate: Before you begin, spend some time in prayer and ask God to open your heart to everything He wants

to reveal to you through His word. Here is a prayer I like to pray before I begin: “Lord I praise you for your word

and thank you that it’s full of truth and wisdom. I ask that my heart is open and ready to receive all you have to

teach me as I meditate and reflect on your word today. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!”

*Tip: As you are coloring read the bible verse aloud a few times (this will also help you to memorize it) and think

about what God is saying through the words. What truth can you take away from this verse? Is it stating a promise

or command from God? Is it encouraging you to do something?

*Tip: Write down anything that comes to mind on the corresponding journal page so you don’t forget it.

Reflect: This is your time to write down everything God revealed to you. When you are journaling, jot down

anything else that comes to mind. It can be a prayer, a thought, or a single word. You could even doodle, draw, or

paint on it if want. There’s more than one way to journal and you need to do what works for you.

Here is an example of one of my journaling pages:

As you can see in the picture I chose to circle the words day, rejoice,

and glad in the bible verse. Doing this always helps to get my thoughts

flowing. I then wrote out another prayer and highlighted the words day

and time. This inspired me to jot down my thoughts on time and thank

the Lord for the days I have been given. To complete it, I decided to do

a little doodling.

*Tip: Circle, underline, or highlight any words that stand out to you in

the bible verse to help get your writing.

*Tip: Write the date on the journaling page when you are finished with

it. This way when you come back to it later, you will be able to see how

much you’ve progressed in your relationship with the Lord.

Special Bonus:

You are going to love this!

Located in the back of this color journal is a blank color sheet and

journal page. These pages are perfect for you to fill in with your

favorite bible verse or any other verse you want to memorize or

journal about.

*Tip: Are you in a bible study? Use these pages to help you learn and

memorize scripture from the study.
