Why give Bible Journaling/Adult Coloring a try? 

According to research there are benefits of coloring for adults…. In Bible Journaling, we primarily create our own artwork, notes & journal entries in specialized, wide margin journaling Bibles as we study the Word of God. In Bible coloring, we focus on coloring beautiful illustrations that are already designed for us as we meditate upon & memorize God’s Word. There are claims that coloring is a form of meditation. When you meditate, your brain enters a relaxed state by focusing on the present and blocking out the nonstop thinking we all experience…helping you reach a state of calm that relieves your brain from the daily stresses of life.
