Open House July 9th

Hope you had a great Father's Day weekend! I enjoyed hanging out with my guys and have been praying over their various pursuits this summer.
 
It's hard to believe we're careening through the latter part of June already. Summer is cruising by, isn't it?

Our June series is in full swing...
 
How's your "walk" going??

Walking with God

Have you done the the Walking with God  template yet?
 
Whatever our selected "footwear" is for the season of life we're in, the Lord is always present beside us on our journey... in the uphill challenges, the downhill slogs,  and the joyful celebrations. 
 
An Alabama Bible Quilting group explored ways they're "enjoying the journey." Here's a page that Alice shared:

In StepThe times in my life when my "spiritual walk" has been the strongest is when I've endured the most extreme stress and loss. Why?

The Slippers template can be a great addition to our Monthly BQJ to go with our Walking with God theme. 
 
I did a page on Walking in Love and experimented with gelatos:

Do you get stuck on what to do with blank pages? Here's an idea that incorporates pretty notes or cards that you may "upcycle" in your BQ journal.

His Banner of Radical Love | Biblequiltjournal.comI received this pretty note with a scripture and inspirational quote a while back and have had it on my whiteboard for a month or so. Today I was reflecting on it and decided to make a #biblequiltjournal page using it as a starter point.

Another option for blank pages is to get creative with sermon notes. Here's an example MaryJo recently shared:

Bible Quilting Sermon Notes | Biblequiltjournal.comSomeone shared with me how they were Bible Quilting a Women's Retreat notes and it made me realize that by Bible Quilting sermon notes or Bible Study notes would help me meditate on God's word more thoroughly.

ABC Journal
 
Our ABC pages are filling up as we near the end of the alphabet. If you've joined me for a letter per week this year, these are the ones we're finishing up in June:
   W is for...       X is for...       Y is for...     Z is for...
