God is calling...

I have been pondering the idea of starting a faithbooking ministry for quite some time but haven't had the kick in the behind to get me moving on it until now. With The Angel Company closing this week, I have found myself without a home business to have over me as I do my creative endevours. So, on the way to church today, I was thinking of the faithbooking ministry again and wondering if I could possibly turn it into a bible study that goes along with the sermon series bible studies my church began doing this year. It's such a great concept to take the sermon and get in groups and discuss further and dig more into it the scripture but I have been thinking of trying to take it to the hands-on creative level and utilize scrapbooking about the passage for the week. It is a challenge I am going to put myself to in this next sermon series on my own to see what scrapbook pages I come up with and how easy or difficult it is or might be for others who will hopefully join me in doing this in the future sermon series. So, I started off by as usual taking notes during the sermon. I thought of some ideas on the way home and knew I had to get them written down or they would be gone and I would be back at square one. So, I summarized the bible story in my own words and wrote some more notes on what the pastor said about this story. I figured out an analogy of the main points the pastor made about this story by using something in my own life. It started with the phrase purify my heart from one of the songs we sang today and a picture of the awesome waterfall we hiked to and saw in Glenwood Springs at Hanging Lake came to mind. I have the pictures now in mind to use in the scrapbook page and a way that it has connected to my life. Will I remember it more? I hope it will ground in me more but the good news is I will have the scrapbook page to look to and share with other and hand down to my children so they to can learn from it. So, it begins. I will be back with a picture of it and of course be back next Sunday with the next installment of Project Faithbooking.
