Using my Color Crush planner as a faith journal (part two)

In my last blog post I talked about how I came to the decision of using a planner as my faith journal. I shared a little bit of how I use my dark pink Color Crush, but I thought a video would be a better way of sharing in more detail how exactly I am using the inserts.


I'd love to hear what you think, leave me a comment on the video or below.

Using my Color Crush planner as a faith journal (part one)

I love that Instagram is a place where creative people from all over the world meet to share ideas, their work and a selfie or two. I realise that it sounds very cheesy but I do learn and grow from the people I follow, people I would otherwise probably never meet and interact with.

At the beginning of the year through the IG grapevine I found out about three projects which jumped off the page at me.

These are:

1. DocumentedFaith
 2. TakeMe Deeper – His Kingdom Come
3.  Logo365- His Kingdom Come

Being my usual self I wanted to do all them, but I knew that this was an unrealistic goal. The more that I looked at the content provided (all free of charge!), the more obvious the answer became – combine all three.

At around the same time, the beautiful new Colour Crush planners came out. A CC seemed like the perfect fit for such a project since all the inserts are already geared towards the creative mind.

Since this is a yearlong project, how I have used the binder and inserts has changed, and continues to develop and evolve, as does my journey of faith and my relationship with God.

This project is the answer to something I have been seeking for so long – a way to combine my love of creativity and connecting with God.

The pages of this journal are not works of art worthy of a gallery wall. They are simple and perhaps even childlike (I’m not sure you are still supposed to use stickers at the age of 24), but they provide a way for me to record what I am learning about, thinking about, and praying about. And, Jesus did say that we should come to him like children- I’m sure He was thinking of stickers and glittery pens.

In all seriousness though, I find it hard to imagine that God would have a problem with me doing something which has turned my quiet times/devotionals from feeling like a chore to my favourite part of the day. It is already very encouraging for me to look back and see all that God has done this year.

Are you participating in any annual projects this year? How do you track what God is doing in your life?
