Faith Art Journaling or Visual Journaling is about the PROCESS. It's less about the finished product and more about time spent in communion with God....co-creating with God.
He is the ultimate creator and he calls us to CO-CREATE with Him.
The basis of this could be a way of life. It could be a way of noticing His presence, His hand in everything around me. I can choose to focus on Him instead of focusing on what is around me.
It's hard. I flunk out on this ALL the time.
And then He sends me a reminder to be present with him in everything. Reminders may come in an article, a blog post, a pin on Pinterest, a line in a movie, something a pastor says, something a friend says......and I am made new again. And again and again. I used to always feel bad that I wasn't "spending time in the Word" enough. (Performance based self worth.) Now I forgive myself and move on and I focus on the little snatches of time, even if they are only a few minutes here and there. They are moments with Him.
When I wrote the words on this little card I wasn't happy with how it looked and ended up writing over it several times. I like the layered messy look. (Like my life.) And re-writing it over and over allowed me to meditate on it.
