HI FRIENDS!! If you're watching this video between when I post this comment and February 29th, 2024, please check out my updated Bible Collection for a surprise~! (I may or may not be giving away a Jesus Bible!! hehe) Blessings to you all. xo Rebecca ❤
I loved the video. Your bible is great and I really loved some of the pages you showed. I really liked the page about holding your tongue,boy indeed that more. Thank you and you have encouraged me to do more bible Journaling. Thank you
I literally was looking for this bible on Amazon 😂😊❤loved how God works. God bless you! Hopefully it went to someone who will cherish and wnjoy it!❤ today is March 18th, 2024 at 1027am EST.🎉
Love this! Don't be embarrassed about empty spaces. It takes me a minimum of 3 years to get through the Bible each time. That empty space is for future studies and observations you can be excited about. ❤️
You are so right, thank you Natia! I often forget how many years I spent in my previous Bible to have it super filled up. I appreciate your comment a lot. Empty space is a lot to be excited about, truly! God is going to speak to me in those pages too. God bless you, sweet friend! :)
@@rebeccalyya I love to write in my Bible but some pages have no writing sometimes for example look at Genesis 17 see notes there or something like that
@@rebeccaly also just wanted to let you know I do have a UA-cam channel where I post about Bible journaling. Highly recommend you check out my Bible studies to on there
On the back cover you had a picture of Jesus waiting at a table. It reminded me of Isaiah 30:18, "So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help." That's my favorite verse to remind me to spend time with God.
I like your beginning creativity on your bible, it's very inspiring to me. You along with other bible journal UA-camrs make me excited to read the word and incorpate creativity. You are a blessing to this old gal.
Thank you so much! I'm so blessed to hear this. I pray you will keep having excitement to read your word daily and spend time with our Heavenly Father in new and creative ways as well 🙏🩷
I paused the video so that i could write down your 5 P's and Meditate notes, and then i heard you say that you write something that you learned in every book. I am walking away from your one video with a whole heap of goodness! I never thought about summarizing a book but I love it and it's something that I'm going to start. Thank you for sharing!
Aww, this comment put a huge smile on my face! Thank you so much for being here. I'm so glad you got some takeaways that you can take with you. I'm so honored and humbled by that! Thank you for being here!! Wishing you a prosperous 2024! :)
Hi friends, thanks so much for all the love on my previous video! I feel so blessed to have this little corner of the internet to gush about Bibles with people. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ADD TO YOUR BIBLE(S)!! 🥰 p.s. my updated Bible collection is coming soon! :) Thanks for being here! 🥺❤
Hahahahha sometimes I say the most gen Z things ever 😂 I’m glad it made you laugh. Thanks so much for being here! I hope you’ll love it if you try it out. 🥹❤️
I love how you decorate your bible, and that your notes can help you lead a sermon. You have nothing to be embarrassed about or worry of being prideful. Just be you, and share the word of God, and everything will fall into place! I hope that you have a flip through of the earlier bible, so I can see what it looked like too.
I don't usually do anything to embellish my bibles, I just enjoy reading them straight through. So I love it when they are illustrated or have pretty typeface and helpful notes already there. One of my bibles is a teen bible, with a lot of room for notes, and I am going to add song lyrics all throughout it, songs which go with what's on the pages. And I love coloring bibles, I have a couple of those. I haven't found the right tools to use, though, to make them look right. I am still struggling with that, but it's a journey. Right now, I am just in a reading phase.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I do have a flip through of my first journaling Bible here: ua-cam.com/video/AgDwzC-3Ejg/v-deo.html !! Thanks for sharing about your journey! I really love all the Inspire Bibles and hope to get my hands on one of them one day...seeing people color them on UA-cam is always something I love to watch. I hope you'll find the supplies and techniques that will work for you. Love reading phases! Keep getting the Word in 🤍 love and blessings, Rebecca
When I read my Bible, I'm listening to God but also having a conversation with Him, asking questions, getting surprises, learning new things, and being refreshed with previous teaching. The Bible is unique, God speaking to us. It is dynamic and living because it is the words of our Living God. The Bible transforms us. I think it might have been Spyrgeon who said ' we don't read the Bible it reads us'. I write on mine all the time, sermon notes as well as sticking in charts and cuttings. It is a work book. The print is not sacred but the words are. Once I read is completely I buy a new one often different translation and start on my fresh Bible again, marking it etc Bless you and keep reading.
Pam, thank you so much for sharing and leaving this really thoughtful and sweet comment. I really appreciate you being here. Everything you say is so true! The Bible is the living Word of our living God! It truly does read us!! So good. I pray you have a prosperous 2024 of Bible reading and studying, filled with new bits and pieces of insight and surprises and answered questions. God bless you! 🥹🤍
This is beautiful. God bless you and may He continue to guide you and grow your strength with Him. You are wonderful. Keep this courage and keep this relationship with Jesus. Seeing your book inspired me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here and your sweet comment. I'm honored and humbled that this was inspiring to you. I pray you have a wonderful year of Bible reading and study. God bless you friend! 💜🙌
this is so cool! I have my own "annotating Bible" which I use specifically to annotate and write in! We also spent the entire school year studying acts with my class! so I was so happy when at the end of 2023 I could finally say that I read the entire Bible and I got to look at my annotated Bible!
AWW thanks so much for sharing this with me. I'm so proud of you, Abby! May God bless you in your pursuit of Him!! ❤ So satisfying when we can flip through and see how much we've grown and learned. Something so special about that.
So sweet and refreshing. A joy to hear you speak so beautifully about Jesus and our Heavenly Daddy. Keep reading, keep taking those notes and continue to draw close to His heart. A sister in Christ
Thank you so much Stella! I'm so glad you enjoyed and liked the idea! I love having art and color in my Bible. It makes me so excited to read. I hope you'll also love it if you give it a try! Thanks for watching and being here! :')
Hi Brittany! I'm just now seeing your comment. I get all the images from Pinterest! I have them pinned in my Bible board. Hope this helps! 💖 www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/
Just found your channel! So surprised you don’t have more subscribers. I just watched a few of your videos and you’ve inspired me to make my Bible full of artwork and notes and all sorts of stuff, I would like to start
Aww, thank you so much for this sweet comment! It means so much to me. I'm so grateful that you are here, and so honored and humbled that you like my Bible videos. I hope you'll be able to try out some of these ideas and that you'll love them! God bless you friend! :)
I love your video! Thank you! I am about to start my Bible journaling and became really overwhelmed with other videos that I was afraid to start but your video showed me that it can be simple and the important part is to just start!! God bless!!
Hi Raquel, thank you so so much for watching and for leaving your sweet comment. I am so moved that you are starting Bible journaling. It’s really changed my life and I could never stop!! It can be as simple or as complex as you want it. *The most important thing is that you are spending time with God.* May the Lord bless you abundantly in your pursuit of Him! You can do it! 🥹🫶🏼🤍✨
Thank you so much for being here and leaving a comment! I'm soooo glad to hear this. Note-taking has helped me tremendously in remembering the things I've learned, and also for being a good future reference resource. Wishing you a prosperous year in your Bible time and studying! God bless you, friend! :)
God bless you richly Rebecca! You are a Psalm 1 daughter of our Father king❤ Hearing you talk we can tell you are growing spiritually which is all of our duty 🙏
I also have Jesus Bible and so excited to use it, thou right now I'm using She reads truth. Thank you for sharing your bible flip through, its beautiful. God bless you, Rebecca.
I adore the Jesus Bible! I hope you'll also love it. The She Reads Truth Bible is also so beautiful! Thanks so much for being here and leaving your sweet comment!!
Thank you so much for inspiring me! I ordered this same bible and it arrived today. It was so beautiful, when I took it out of the box I got a little emotional 🥰 I can’t wait to read it, decorate it and just love all over it 💕✨ Thanks again!
AWW Nikkia, that's sooo amazing. We're Bible twins now! I'm honored and humbled by your comment. I hope you love this Bible as much as I do!! May God bless you abundantly in your pursuit of Him 💜
I marked in my Bible when I started reading the word in 2022 but I didn’t fully start highlighting until the start of 2024 and it’s been life changing. I just got an NLT Bible because I had the Bible read to me via the you version app using the CSB version while following along using my KJV Bible and that was fine and I read the Bible in a year and some months, but, I didn’t really grasp what was being read to me and since I had another voice reading the word I didn’t hear God. Ever since I got the NLT Bible and started reading on my own and not relying so heavily on the app, it’s been life changing. The starting phase was just getting the word known to me and now I think I’m gonna be able to fully read and get it to the best of my ability. I feel guilty for not taking it as seriously but also putting pressure on myself to not miss a day 😅 which is weird combo. I wish the you version app didn’t have a streak thing, that really got to my brain and God made sure to teach me that didn’t matter real quick 😂. I got sick and I lost my streak a month or two after I started in 2022 lol. I also don’t really write in Bible besides highlighting (I just started highlighting in 2024) and underlining verses, my handwriting is so bad and my perfectionism is also bad. What you said about not wanting you Bible becoming an idol is something I didn’t want as well which is another reason why I won’t do Bible journaling. I really like Charles Metcalf sermons, he’s really relatable with them and during my first year of being in the word he really helped me. This comment is a little long 😅, oops.
Hi Lauren, thank you so so much for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate long comments...you're the sweetest ever! I'm so happy to hear that some small changes in your Bible time have been life-changing to you. That is sooo powerful! Wow! I TOTALLY understand what you mean by not trying to put pressure on yourself for taking things too seriously but feeling guilty for missing a day...I totally feel the same way about marking up in my Bible sometimes. It's a funny thing to try to balance, but I think it's good to be self-aware. At the end of the day, God doesn't care about our reading streaks or how many pages are marked up, but He just cares about our hearts. I hope that the perfectionism you feel about your Bible will go away and that you'll be able to dip your toes into marking up your Bible (if that is something you've been wanting to do). I promise we will always make mistakes, and God is so okay with that! Sometimes I write out words or even completely cover some notes with a piece of paper because I hated how it looked. There are so many ways to "cover up" these "mistakes." But I don't really do this anymore and embrace the growth, whenever I can. I love being able to look back at how God spoke to me in the past. Even if you never journal in your Bible, I hope you keep a journal for sermon notes, prayers, etc.. It's so encouraging to be able to reflect on your growth and to see how God has moved in your life. I'm sure you already do this but I'm such a strong proponent for physically writing down notes somewhere! Anywhere! Thanks for your recommendation! I sometimes listen to Charles Metcalf too. Relatable preachers are the best. May 2024 be a prosperous year of reading, studying, and highlighting for you! Praying for you. God bless you, friend! :)
I love this video! I remember the video of when you were putting artwork in your Bible and you weren’t sure if you’d like it as much as your last Bible 😊 Flip throughs are so fun and interesting to watch!
Oh my goodness you've been here for so long. Thanks for joining me on my journey!! This comment means a lot to me. I love flip throughs too! Thank you for watching mine :') God bless you, sweet sister!
"Wow, I'm really excited to come across your videos! I'm also from Indonesia and proud to see your content. I'll keep following your journey and may the Lord Jesus bless every step you take. Keep creating and inspiring others!" 😊🙏🇮🇩
Awww hi Jhoa!! I’m so honored and humbled that you like my videos. I’m so touched by your encouraging words! And all the way from Indonesia?! Wow that’s incredible. May the Lord bless you and shine His face upon you! Have a blessed week!! 🥹🫶🏼🤗
What a wonderful witness you are to God’s love for us all. The art work in your Bible is inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us. You are inspiring to me.
Every time I see this Bible I get more ideas of how to decorate mine although I don't have wide margins on mine and there are no study notes. But I do have enough room to add some tiny stickers here and there. 💜
Like I mentioned before, I make handmade journals so I am well acquainted with adding in pages. I love adding in my own personality so that my faith shows in my Bible.
@paperpuddles1805 that’s beautiful! I love seeing everyone’s personalities shine through in their Bibles and journals..and I know God loves it too because He’s the ultimate Creator! Thanks again!! 💖
I so Love this flip through. Thank you. My journaling Bible has more prayers than anything else. Notes consist of mostly new insights. I have the Jesus Bible. I have highlights in it, but no writing to speak of. I use colored pencils. I have a color code, I've had three total. I also love to use stickers. I used tabs on two Bibles only. I have them on my prayer Bible and my Bible garden. I subscribed. I am blessed by your posts. Thank you!
Hi Christine, thank you for blessing me with your comment! I really appreciate you sharing your Bibles with me and how you use them!! That’s absolutely so wonderful. I am honored and humbled that you enjoy my posts. Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you! I pray you have a prosperous 2024 in reading and studying the Word of the living God. Blessings!!! 🥹💖
I loved the video. Thank you for sharing. To answer your question, I just recently designed a prayer Bible and I am in love but in my main Bible, I take notes and I'll keep all of my gems in one place. You've given me so many ideas. Have a wonderful Sunday Sister in Christ!
Hi sweet sister, thank you so much for being here and leaving your sweet comment! I am so touched reading this. I love watching all the prayer Bible videos on UA-cam and I'm planning to start one soon too. I also like keeping all my notes and gems in my main Bible as well. I like having everything in one place. Wishing you a prosperous year in your Bible time and studies! God bless you, angel! :)
Hey girl! I just wanted to encourage you because your bible is so pretty and I can see the progress of the time you’ve spent reading and writing in your bible and it inspires me
Thank you Kimberlee! I definitely agree with you. I’m not really embarrassed that they’re empty but more that the emptiness means I haven’t read/looked closely at those passages. That’s all! Thank you for your encouragement 🥹🙏
What are you printing them on? The quality looks great not like just printer paper? I love watching Pastor Todd as well!! Love your style. I saw so many pictures that I would like to print out as well 😮. Do you have a board that you saved them too on Pinterest that you wouldn’t mind sharing with me?
Hi Rita! I'm just now seeing your comment. I promise I just use regular printer paper! It's nothing special..just whatever my family has at home or whatever is cheapest haha. Ps Todd has blessed me so much through his ministry. My Bible board has most of the photos I've printed...you just might have to scroll a lot because I pin a lot hahah www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/ Blessings!💖💖
Thank you so much for being here and for leaving your sweet comment! I'm so honored and humbled that this was inspiring to you. God bless you in your Bible time in 2024!!
WOOOW! I LOVE how you journal in your bible! I personally planning on buying a personal notebook, and do the SOAP method, then I love drawing worship art in my small-medium drawing book. :)
Just beautiful! I hear in your voice how much you Loved the Lord! I loved Him too! Thank you for sharing your heart so wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I color, mark, sticker, stars and highlights I also put the years I finished reading throughout the Bible and the dates I finished. Again thank you for sharing May God the Father, blessed you and keep you. And keep you in perfect. In Jesus Christ, mighty name, Amen.
Thank you sincerely for being here and leaving your kind comment. I smiled so hard reading this! Totally made my day! Thanks for sharing what you do in your Bible! I lovveee doing those things too. Dates you finished is so good. May God bless you and keep you as well. Wishing you a prosperous 2024 in His Name. Amen! Thank you, sweet friend! I appreciate you so much! ❤❤❤
Aww thank you for watching and commenting! I highly recommend the Jesus Bible. All the notes point back to Jesus and guide me when I get lost in the sauce. The newer editions have such beautiful covers too! Thank you again 🥹🩵
I love your Bible and all the artwork . Because of you I purchased the same Bible and a printer so I also can put artwork in mine. Thank you for a beautiful video.
Dont be embarrassed about empty pages. I dont write in my Bible at all. Never have. I preferre to keep a separate journal. Bible are like peanut butter cups, no wrong way to eat one. 😂 Your Bible is beautiful and personal. I hope your still adding to it to this day. Just remember...Bible about God. Not about us. When you add to your Bible ..is it Glorifing God or You? Always ask that before every entry, picture, art you add. Bless you! 🙏
Hi friend, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you!! Everything you said is so true. God bless you and keep you safe! 🥹🙏💖
Rebecca, this is a beautiful Bible. Your writing looks lovely too. What pen(s) do you use, I’m always on the lookout for good pens that don’t bleed through and yours don’t seem to. In Christ Dawn xx
Hi Dawn!! Thank you so so much for your sweet and encouraging words 🥹 I usually write with Muji 0.5 gel pens! I also like Pilot G2 pens but those bleed in thinner Bibles like this one.. definitely recommend Muji! They’re just hard to find because not every city has a store, which is a bummer 😔 I do feature them in my newest video I just shared today if you want to see what they look like. Hope this helps! God bless you! 🥹💖💌
I loved your video and I loved how you said you start feeling idolized and it’s just not good. I would like to pick up my bibles and read them again this year.
Thank you so much for being here and listening to my two cents. I pray you will thirst for God's Word like you thirst for water. I believe in you! You can do it! Blessings to you.
Hi friend, thank you so much for watching! I'm really glad that you understood what I was trying to say! I felt so scatter-brained when filming because I was panicking on flipping the pages while also having things to say HAHA. Wishing you a prosperous 2024!
Thank you so much for watching 🥺 Your comment is definitely confirmation to me that I need to make that video! It’s been on my heart for a bit but I’ve been a bit scared to post more “teaching videos.” Please pray for me to have more courage and boldness. Learning about the body soul and spirit was something that changed my life so I just need to share asap! Thank you for your comment. 🙏🤍😚
You seem to have so much courage and boldness already, but I'll be praying that you see what we all see! 😊 God is definitely using you to help others grow in their faith.@@rebeccaly
Thank you sweet Michele! I think I’ve definitely grown a lot in courage in the past few years. I used to be so shy that I’d cry, if I had to talk to large groups of people or strangers. I feel like Moses because he had a stutter & I have anxiety.. God’s been working through me though so I know it’s not by my own strength! I feel so unworthy but He’s so good and faithful and uses foolish things (shy anxious girl like me) to confound the wise. Hopefully this content will be filmed soon hehe. Thank you for your encouraging words!
Rebecca you are absolutely Awesome in every way, and i hope that you never stop making video's, because your video's are Amazing 👏🙏💕 Side Note: What pen do you use for writing in this Bible? Also, what kind of printer do you have? Because your printed pictures at the beginning of the books look so crisp and nice!!! Thank You for your Videos!! 🙏💕
Awww thank you so much sweet sister for your kind words! I'm so touched. :')❤ I love the 0.5 gel pen by Muji. I also like the Pilot G2 pens, but these usually leave some ghosting. I have an HP Color LaserJet Pro printer, which my parents got from Costco a few years back. Hope this helps!! ❤ God bless you!
Hi Nancy, oh absolutely! I tab most of my Bibles this way because I love thumbing through the pages on the side. I hope you'll like it if you try it! (also easier to read since the words are the right way instead of sideways)! Thanks for watching and being here!! :)
@@rebeccalyThe books of the Bible tabs are read the right way instead of sideways, Duh! I hadn’t thought of that in my whole life 😂 but it makes sense. I have The Jesus Bible and was afraid to write in it but you’ve changed me with that now! Just Thank you!!!
@@nancy7542 this made me smile! I hope you enjoy writing or marking up your Bible, and that it’s blessed you in the same way it’s blessed me! I’m so excited for you! Remember it’s okay to make mistakes, and that you can always cover any if they really bother you. The most important thing is that you’re spending time with our Heavenly Father! 🥹🥹🙌
@@rebeccaly At first, I was upset I’d awoken & couldn’t get back to sleep at 3 am but God introducing me to your vlog is time well spent because the minor (which is still pretty great is the art) and the major is your reminders how much Jesus loves us and uses us to bring each other closer to Him.
@@nancy7542 wow that’s so crazy!! God really knows how to comfort us when we need it. I’m so honored and humbled that my video was helpful to you when you couldn’t sleep. I pray in Jesus mighty Name that you will be able to go back to sleep and be fully energized for tomorrow. Take care Nancy!! 🤍🤍
Some of the Old Testament is kind of empty for me, too, so don't be embarrassed ❤ as long as you're reading the bible and staying close to Jesus, then your good ❤
I’m so excited! My Jesus Bible will be here Wednesday! After seeing your Bible collection flip through video the other day I decided I really needed/wanted it. I was lucky to find it on clearance at the site I went to. Praise God. I can’t wait to explore and learn more about Jesus. Thanks for the recommendation! ✝️
Oh my goodness!! This comment made my day. I hope you will enjoy and love it as much as I do! Clearance is the best! May God bless you in your reading and in your studies! ❤❤
Rebecca, thank you for sharing this amazing video. I am really encouraged with your art work and notes in your Bible. Pls let me know where you got these pictures from.
Hi friend, thanks for watching and being here! I am so encouraged my your kind words. You can find basically all the photos on Pinterest. Here's a link to my Bible board, which should have most of them :) www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/
Aww hi there! I loveee your channel! The side tabs are pages that have longer notes (such as from sermons or Bible studies). Some are labeled for quick access because they are pages I want easy access to. In the beginning, I started tabbing the sides so I could be encouraged by my spiritual growth, but later on I no longer needed it and only tabbed notes I want to easily reference. Thank you for watching 🥹💌❣️
Great video. I'm new to bible journaling. I've been using YouVersion app for years but trying something new. It's hard with two small kids so I definitely don't out too many expectations on my self. For a while I was definitely feeling pressure like "I need to FILL this thing up" but my heart checked me because the bible itself should not become an idol. I'm definitely leaning more towards note taker style bible journaling. I like the idea of a few art pieces on blank pages but I want to be able to see the word.
Hi friend! Thanks so much for being here and leaving your thoughtful comment! I completely agree with what you said. A heart check is always good when we feel tempted or pressured to fill up the pages. God just wants our hearts. I only add art to blank pages or I'll tape them in a way where I can still flip them over and read the text. Wishing you a prosperous year of Bible reading and studying. I can only imagine how busy it gets as a mom, but know that God SEES YOU!! Blessings to you sister! :)
Hi! This was a printable from Illustrated Faith/ Print and Pray...I unfortunately can no longer find the link but this was the closest I could find... www.illustratedfaith.com/shop/print-pray-kids-cutouts-daniel2/ which is also out of stock but maybe the artist will have other things you'd like if you like the art style!
Thanks so much!! I actually got the stars like this from Dollar Tree and I just stuck them on.. I got so lucky because I haven’t seen them again any other time I visited.. I don’t know if you can find the exact same ones but I’d definitely recommend checking out your local dollar stores for stickers! ☺️💖
so beautiful!! i'm sorry if you mentioned in the video and i just didn't hear it but where did you find such gorgeous pictures to put in your bible? thank you ❤
Thank you so so much for your sweet comment! It's no biggie at all. I find them all on Pinterest. You can find most of the images in my pinterest board, but you might have to scroll a bit because I constantly pin new images haha. Hope this helps! www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/
Thanks for sharing.I have a book called the bible in 52 weeks that im reading and writing in.there isnt enough space for me to expand my notes on each chapter of the bible i read.i think im on week 7 or 9.I need to get a note taking book
That's so awesome! You must be learning so so much if there's no more space. Wishing you a prosperous year of Bible reading and studying! I hope you'll find a book that meets your needs. There's so many cute ones online and even in places like Dollar Tree, Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.! Thanks for being here! ❤
No don’t be sorry!! It’s a long video so it’s easy to miss. I don’t think I actually talked about my side tabs but those are basically just markers of pages where I have a lot of notes! Especially sermon notes that I want to refer to again. I just used regular tabs, washi tape, and sometimes stickers! There’s no code or anything for those tabs. Just whatever I felt like :) As for the beads, it’s actually from one of my bookmarks! My Bible only has one ribbon so I have quite a few bookmarks in there haha. It’s from Christian Art Gifts from many many many years ago. I’m sure you could find something similar online like on Amazon, or at your local bookstore ☺️ Hope this helps! God bless you 🥹💖🫶🏼
Thank you so much!! 🥹🤍 I adore this Bible. I would say it’s more on the heavy side.. it’s about 3lbs. I filled mine so much it’s 4lbs now. I personally still carry it everywhere with me because I don’t mind but it might be a hassle if you’re wanting something smaller!
Commenting on this video for the 5millonith Time lol 😂 this has to be my fav flip through, sometimes I feel like I over stuff the pages with notes but I learning a lot; it’s a lot better than acts 1 and 2 you’ll get lost in acts 1 and 2 it’s like a maze lol 😂 oh but the psalms I love them. You should check out psalms 29 and meditate on it I’m still in awe of it, we had a sermon on it yesterday at TG which is for 7th-12th graders Also you should listen to John MacArthurs sermons on Grace to you I think that’s what’s it’s called but his sermons are so different that they are so good
Hahahaha I adoreee you! Thank you so much for revisiting and your sweet comments! This is so encouraging to me. I think overstuffing with notes is absolutely wonderful because like you said… you’re learning so much! Amen to that. The psalms are so beautiful! I love meditating on them 🥺💜 I’ll definitely look into John MacArthur’s sermons! Thank you for your recommendations 🫶🏼
im sorry if youve already answered this but what are the name of your small tabs you added on the top? I want some that size, not the big chunky ones on Amazon 😭
Please don’t be embarrassed of the “blank” spots. Some people use one Bible forever and that’s ok. Some people use multiple/start new ones and that’s ok. It’s YOUR walk with Jesus, and that is what matters most. ❤
You said you want to get into Ezekiel, Wendy Bender is a Bible teacher with a channel on here (the channel name is her name) and she recently said she plans on doing a study in Ezekiel this year. Maybe you could keep an eye on her channel for that! I myself really enjoyed reading Ezekiel recently and am looking forward to it myself.
Oh my goodness thank you so much friend for your recommendation. I am also subscribed to Wendy! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for when she posts that. Thank you so much, this is so thoughtful of you 🥹🤍
Okay I’m commenting for idk how many times but I feel burnt out in Bible studies so I think I’m going back to a normal Bible and just raking notes how I do :) maybe idk
That’s totally great!! I get you.. sometimes I feel burnt out too so I just read and don’t mark anything up. As long as you get your daily Bread in!! 🤭🩵💌🍞🥖
Thank you for sharing your Bible is beautiful!! May I ask, the pictures you add throughout your bible are also so beautiful, do you have them saved on pinterest? If you do what is your name on pinterest, or would you share them with me please?
Aww thank you so much! Yes I do! My Pinterest username is rebeccalyxo and everything should be in my “Bible” board. It should be linked on my profile and the description boxes of my videos! Blessings 💖
This is how I want to do my Bible, but my creativity is like so dead. I hate it too, And I appreciate all the tips and advice youtubers give for these kinda things in our Bible's but other then copy and pasting others ideas It still doesnt work. I'm not someone who likes to copy paste other peoples ideas either, just me not being original lol and don't feel comfortable with it.😂
Aww that’s okay! We all have different talents. I pray you’ll find something you enjoy doing that feels personal to you. Sometimes when I’m in a creative rut, copying someone else’s idea helps me to get out of it. I’ll just copy the parts of ideas that I really like and try to switch it up to make it more my own. May God bless you in your pursuit of Him. Take care!! 🥹🤍
Rebecca at 15:52 in Romans you have a tip in about body, soul, spirit. would you pleeeeease do a video on that study and where you got that printable? pretty please🙏. I need this in my life❤ thanks!
Hi Lois, this has been on my heart for a bit now...your comment was definitely confirmation that I NEED to make this video. I will try my best to organize my thoughts and film + edit this as soon as I can. I'm not sure how soon I can get it up because this is definitely something I need to keep mediating on and word correctly. Please pray for me, I need some extra courage and boldness to "teach" on my channel. Until then, I highly recommend watching this video: ua-cam.com/video/MUiIAZTMiBM/v-deo.html It is SOOO GOOD. I took a screenshot from the video and made my own "printable" for my discipleship class...but this stuff is so important. Thank you again for your comment. The Holy Spirit is definitely tugging at my heart to talk about body, soul, and spirit.
@rebeccaly no pressure!!! I know recording and editing are extremely time consuming. thank you for the link to the other video because you definitely sparked my interest in that topic. so I'll patiently watch the other video until you release your next video. you def have a sub for life here. Hugs, dear sister in Christ!!
It is refreshing to see a young person who loves her Bibles so much. I am 75 years old, and I absolutely love God and reading my Bible. To help me see Jesus throughout the Bible, three years ago, I circled every reference to Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, and the pronouns which refer to them. There are some pages in my Bible that I have 65 circles on the page! Without doing this activity, I would have missed the reference to Jesus. Now I do not read through a Bible without doing this activity. Keep up the good work on your Bible reading and on your videos. ❤❤
Hi Judith, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so touched. I really love this activity...I will definitely need to read with this activity in mind. It sounds very powerful. God bless you Judith! May He continue to reveal more and more to you each day 🥺💖
Hi Maria, I just use whatever sticky notes I already have laying around. I like using washi tape! It's decorative and doesn't tear my pages. I hope you'll like this method if you try it out! God bless you!
@@marianolindo8726 it’s my pleasure! You can find washi tape nearly anywhere these days! Amazon, craft stores, even dollar tree! Peace and blessings to you too 💖
Hi Rebecca, your video popped up in my YT recommendations. I just wanted to share some thoughts about it. I found it interesting that you talk about ‘idolization’ of a bible, do I understand it correct that you mean you don’t want the decoration of this book to become more important than studying in it? I wanted to share something about the importance of having a standard of Gods Word. If two persons read the same text from a different Bible that says something else then how do we know which one is correct I learned not so long ago that most bibles that are used in modern church are corrupted Bibles they are based on Alexandrian manuscripts (Egypt) instead of Textus receptus manuscripts (Antioch) . Not only are important doctrines changed there are even verses completely left out.This Jesus Bible is also a modern version not based on original manuscripts, the textus receptus. So always compare what you read with the pure original text in Kjv Bible. Psalm 138: 2 tells this: I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Gods word is not changing it is very important to study from the correct Bible version, it is easy to be distracted and the enemy knows very well how to keep us distracted from studying from Gods True Word. Have a blessed weekend
Hi friend, thank you so much for being here and for leaving your thoughtful comment! By idolization, I just mean putting anything or anyone we put before God. Even good things like ministry, reading our Bibles, our families, etc., may become idols if we put them in front of God Himself. I think at one point, I struggled with idolizing my Bible and feeling like I had to "fill up all the pages" since I knew other people would see it...I was doing it not just because I wanted to spend time with God, but because I was also worried about how others viewed me. Because of this, I am now very careful...so I made it a point to only write notes and highlight when I am in the mood to do so...I will not mark anything if I find myself thinking about anything besides wanting to spend time with God. I hope this makes sense...but the way you phrased it is also a part of it! I understand your hesitations about modern translations. I hear that a lot, which is why I also have KJV, NKJV, and other translations. I don't currently read KJV as my main Bible because it is confusing for me...I think I would misinterpret it a lot...and worse than how I understand modern translations. I'm a believer that the best translation for a person is one that they will actually read and apply to their life! The missing verses are still in my Bible...just usually in italics. If we really think about it, all our English Bibles are translations of the original Hebrew and Greek text. I also believe that God is sovereign enough to still reach and touch people despite human error! Everyday He uses flawed people like you and I to be the light in the dark world. I have different translations and compare them because although they all essentially mean the same thing, sometimes the NIV or the NLT or the NKJV version just cuts deeper to my heart. Sometimes just a difference of some words makes it hit that much more. Although I don't feel the same convictions as you when it comes to Bible translations, I appreciate your concern, and I applaud you for using KJV! Hope you've had a blessed Sunday! :)
Hi thank you for taking time to answer. The issue is not translation, it's which underlying text is used. There are multiple Hebrew and Greek texts. The most important thing to understand is that the KJV is based on what is called the majority text. Which consists of around 6000 manuscripts. 99% of manuscripts agree with the majority text. Modern bible versions are nearly all based on the so-called critical text. Also called the minority text. The critical text consists of around 40 manuscripts. The most important one is called Codex Vaticanus. (Guess where it comes from). Around 90% of any modern translation comes from this manuscript. Around 8% comes from Codex Sinaiticus. These manuscripts are Alexandrian. They are from Egypt and demonstrable gnostic in nature. They do not agree with the majority text which comes from Antioch, Assyria (see Acts 11: 26). The vaticanus and sinaiticus manuscripts alter the text in many places and they omit many verses. They also have the apocryphal books as part of the old testament. The modern new testament in use today is the Novum Testamentum Graece by Nestle/UBS also called the NU text. It is made under supervision of the Vatican. the 27nd edition page 45 proves this. God is able to reach someone through wondrous ways. Everyone has his or her own responsibility for which Bible they pick to study from. Have a great day!
Hi Suzi, I think this short article helps explain this verse well: www.gotquestions.org/Hebrews-10-26.html It reminds me of the wise man verses the foolish man. The wise man listens to what he hears (the gospel) and applies it to his life, building his house on the firm foundation of the rock. Meanwhile, a foolish man hears, but does not put into practice, building his house in sand. (Matthew 7:21-27). We shouldn’t cherry pick what we want to obey in the Bible and ignore the others commandments and sin deliberately. There’s no sacrifice that can atone for someone who only accepts Jesus’ love/grace/forgiveness when it’s convenient but ignores Jesus’ teachings/corrections when it’s convenient. The main idea is deliberately sinning, willingly, without abandon. Of course as Christians, we all fall short of the glory of God and sin too but we repent and turn away from the sin. There’s a difference between the two. This is what I think, and I hope it helps, but I may also be wrong! Please also take this question up to the Lord in your personal time! Please also seek other spiritual mentors and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning to you. 🙏🙏 Blessings, Rebecca
ohh! so you're saying that the verse is saying don't take God's sacrifice for granted, right? I'm not born again yet and I was just wondering if it meant that continual sin throughout someone's life will not be forgiven because they are taking the sacrifice only when it's convenient or something along those lines. Does God forgive us if we sin continually after knowing about Jesus and His sacrifice? @@rebeccaly
I would agree with this! If we know something is sinful but keep doing it, then it’s like we’re taking God’s sacrifice and grace for granted. He forgives us for everything when we repent…but that doesn’t give us a free pass to keep living in sin and disobeying God because we know He’ll forgive us. Instead, we are called to renew our minds and to change our ways! To live in spirit and in truth instead! But sometimes even though we are Christians, we can still stumble into sin. I’ll use myself as an example. I feel jealousy and anger! Sometimes I keep those emotions in my heart and start to resent others. I know that it’s a sin, but sometimes I stumble. We are not perfect and God doesn’t expect us to be…that’s why He sent His Son in the first place. BUT because I know that these things are sin, I try my best to stay away from them. I try to go to God with my feelings when I’m feeling jealous or angry, and try to forgive people in my heart as soon as possible. I do this because I know God has forgiven me. I hope this makes sense. I would also encourage you to speak with other people you trust, and I bet a pastor would love to answer your question and provide for you a better answer! I hope you’ll keep meditating on the gospel message and that one day you’ll accept Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior. I will be praying for you also! God bless you friend!!
Honestly I just use regular printer paper...whatever my family has in the house. Right now, we have "Boise X-9 Multi-Use Copy Paper" (green and white packaging) but I don't think it's anything special. I would just recommend you use whatever you already have, or whatever is best for your budget :)
HI FRIENDS!! If you're watching this video between when I post this comment and February 29th, 2024, please check out my updated Bible Collection for a surprise~! (I may or may not be giving away a Jesus Bible!! hehe) Blessings to you all. xo Rebecca ❤
I loved the video. Your bible is great and I really loved some of the pages you showed. I really liked the page about holding your tongue,boy indeed that more. Thank you and you have encouraged me to do more bible Journaling. Thank you
How do I enter the contest/drawing/raffle/ gimme!? lol
I literally was looking for this bible on Amazon 😂😊❤loved how God works. God bless you! Hopefully it went to someone who will cherish and wnjoy it!❤ today is March 18th, 2024 at 1027am EST.🎉
Love this! Don't be embarrassed about empty spaces. It takes me a minimum of 3 years to get through the Bible each time. That empty space is for future studies and observations you can be excited about. ❤️
You are so right, thank you Natia! I often forget how many years I spent in my previous Bible to have it super filled up. I appreciate your comment a lot. Empty space is a lot to be excited about, truly! God is going to speak to me in those pages too. God bless you, sweet friend! :)
@@rebeccalyya I love to write in my Bible but some pages have no writing sometimes for example look at Genesis 17 see notes there or something like that
@@Jesuslovesyou88627 I do this too! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
@@rebeccaly also just wanted to let you know I do have a UA-cam channel where I post about Bible journaling. Highly recommend you check out my Bible studies to on there
It takes like a month though...
On the back cover you had a picture of Jesus waiting at a table. It reminded me of Isaiah 30:18, "So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help." That's my favorite verse to remind me to spend time with God.
Hi Christy! This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this verse with me too 🙏🩷
I like your beginning creativity on your bible, it's very inspiring to me. You along with other bible journal UA-camrs make me excited to read the word and incorpate creativity. You are a blessing to this old gal.
Thank you so much! I'm so blessed to hear this. I pray you will keep having excitement to read your word daily and spend time with our Heavenly Father in new and creative ways as well 🙏🩷
Thanks for putting the pressure off of me to not forcing myself to fill all the pages.
I’m glad! I’ve definitely felt this pressure a lot and it’s just not healthy. God just wants us to spend time with Him 💖
I paused the video so that i could write down your 5 P's and Meditate notes, and then i heard you say that you write something that you learned in every book. I am walking away from your one video with a whole heap of goodness! I never thought about summarizing a book but I love it and it's something that I'm going to start. Thank you for sharing!
Aww, this comment put a huge smile on my face! Thank you so much for being here. I'm so glad you got some takeaways that you can take with you. I'm so honored and humbled by that! Thank you for being here!! Wishing you a prosperous 2024! :)

Hahahahha sometimes I say the most gen Z things ever 😂 I’m glad it made you laugh. Thanks so much for being here! I hope you’ll love it if you try it out. 🥹❤️
I love how you decorate your bible, and that your notes can help you lead a sermon. You have nothing to be embarrassed about or worry of being prideful. Just be you, and share the word of God, and everything will fall into place! I hope that you have a flip through of the earlier bible, so I can see what it looked like too.
I don't usually do anything to embellish my bibles, I just enjoy reading them straight through. So I love it when they are illustrated or have pretty typeface and helpful notes already there. One of my bibles is a teen bible, with a lot of room for notes, and I am going to add song lyrics all throughout it, songs which go with what's on the pages. And I love coloring bibles, I have a couple of those. I haven't found the right tools to use, though, to make them look right. I am still struggling with that, but it's a journey. Right now, I am just in a reading phase.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I do have a flip through of my first journaling Bible here: ua-cam.com/video/AgDwzC-3Ejg/v-deo.html !! Thanks for sharing about your journey! I really love all the Inspire Bibles and hope to get my hands on one of them one day...seeing people color them on UA-cam is always something I love to watch. I hope you'll find the supplies and techniques that will work for you. Love reading phases! Keep getting the Word in 🤍 love and blessings, Rebecca
When I read my Bible, I'm listening to God but also having a conversation with Him, asking questions, getting surprises, learning new things, and being refreshed with previous teaching. The Bible is unique, God speaking to us.
It is dynamic and living because it is the words of our Living God.
The Bible transforms us.
I think it might have been Spyrgeon who said
' we don't read the Bible it reads us'.
I write on mine all the time, sermon notes as well as sticking in charts and cuttings.
It is a work book.
The print is not sacred but the words are.
Once I read is completely I buy a new one often different translation and start on my fresh Bible again, marking it etc
Bless you and keep reading.
Pam, thank you so much for sharing and leaving this really thoughtful and sweet comment. I really appreciate you being here. Everything you say is so true! The Bible is the living Word of our living God! It truly does read us!! So good. I pray you have a prosperous 2024 of Bible reading and studying, filled with new bits and pieces of insight and surprises and answered questions. God bless you! 🥹🤍
This is beautiful. God bless you and may He continue to guide you and grow your strength with Him. You are wonderful. Keep this courage and keep this relationship with Jesus. Seeing your book inspired me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here and your sweet comment. I'm honored and humbled that this was inspiring to you. I pray you have a wonderful year of Bible reading and study. God bless you friend! 💜🙌
this is so cool! I have my own "annotating Bible" which I use specifically to annotate and write in! We also spent the entire school year studying acts with my class! so I was so happy when at the end of 2023 I could finally say that I read the entire Bible and I got to look at my annotated Bible!
AWW thanks so much for sharing this with me. I'm so proud of you, Abby! May God bless you in your pursuit of Him!! ❤ So satisfying when we can flip through and see how much we've grown and learned. Something so special about that.
So sweet and refreshing. A joy to hear you speak so beautifully about Jesus and our Heavenly Daddy. Keep reading, keep taking those notes and continue to draw close to His heart.
A sister in Christ
Beautiful bible! I love the idea of adding artwork throughout- there are some lovely pictures in yours! I’m so glad you shared! ❤

I marked in my Bible when I started reading the word in 2022 but I didn’t fully start highlighting until the start of 2024 and it’s been life changing. I just got an NLT Bible because I had the Bible read to me via the you version app using the CSB version while following along using my KJV Bible and that was fine and I read the Bible in a year and some months, but, I didn’t really grasp what was being read to me and since I had another voice reading the word I didn’t hear God. Ever since I got the NLT Bible and started reading on my own and not relying so heavily on the app, it’s been life changing. The starting phase was just getting the word known to me and now I think I’m gonna be able to fully read and get it to the best of my ability. I feel guilty for not taking it as seriously but also putting pressure on myself to not miss a day 😅 which is weird combo. I wish the you version app didn’t have a streak thing, that really got to my brain and God made sure to teach me that didn’t matter real quick 😂. I got sick and I lost my streak a month or two after I started in 2022 lol. I also don’t really write in Bible besides highlighting (I just started highlighting in 2024) and underlining verses, my handwriting is so bad and my perfectionism is also bad. What you said about not wanting you Bible becoming an idol is something I didn’t want as well which is another reason why I won’t do Bible journaling. I really like Charles Metcalf sermons, he’s really relatable with them and during my first year of being in the word he really helped me. This comment is a little long 😅, oops.
Hi Lauren, thank you so so much for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate long comments...you're the sweetest ever! I'm so happy to hear that some small changes in your Bible time have been life-changing to you. That is sooo powerful! Wow! I TOTALLY understand what you mean by not trying to put pressure on yourself for taking things too seriously but feeling guilty for missing a day...I totally feel the same way about marking up in my Bible sometimes. It's a funny thing to try to balance, but I think it's good to be self-aware. At the end of the day, God doesn't care about our reading streaks or how many pages are marked up, but He just cares about our hearts.
I hope that the perfectionism you feel about your Bible will go away and that you'll be able to dip your toes into marking up your Bible (if that is something you've been wanting to do). I promise we will always make mistakes, and God is so okay with that! Sometimes I write out words or even completely cover some notes with a piece of paper because I hated how it looked. There are so many ways to "cover up" these "mistakes." But I don't really do this anymore and embrace the growth, whenever I can. I love being able to look back at how God spoke to me in the past. Even if you never journal in your Bible, I hope you keep a journal for sermon notes, prayers, etc.. It's so encouraging to be able to reflect on your growth and to see how God has moved in your life. I'm sure you already do this but I'm such a strong proponent for physically writing down notes somewhere! Anywhere!
Thanks for your recommendation! I sometimes listen to Charles Metcalf too. Relatable preachers are the best.
May 2024 be a prosperous year of reading, studying, and highlighting for you! Praying for you. God bless you, friend! :)
I love this video! I remember the video of when you were putting artwork in your Bible and you weren’t sure if you’d like it as much as your last Bible 😊
Flip throughs are so fun and interesting to watch!

What a wonderful witness you are to God’s love for us all. The art work in your Bible is inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us. You are inspiring to me.
Every time I see this Bible I get more ideas of how to decorate mine although I don't have wide margins on mine and there are no study notes. But I do have enough room to add some tiny stickers here and there. 💜
I am sooo glad! I think you can also easily add pages in if you want room to write or something. I also love the little stickers! So fun and cute ☺️💞
Like I mentioned before, I make handmade journals so I am well acquainted with adding in pages. I love adding in my own personality so that my faith shows in my Bible.
@paperpuddles1805 that’s beautiful! I love seeing everyone’s personalities shine through in their Bibles and journals..and I know God loves it too because He’s the ultimate Creator! Thanks again!! 💖
I absolutely love this! You are so inspiring and I hope to see more videos! Way to go! ❤
I adore you! Thank you for being here! I actually JUST uploaded a new video. I hope you'll enjoy iy! Thank you sincerely for being here! ❤
I so Love this flip through. Thank you.
My journaling Bible has more prayers than anything else.
Notes consist of mostly new insights.
I have the Jesus Bible. I have highlights in it, but no writing to speak of.
I use colored pencils. I have a color code, I've had three total. I also love to use stickers.
I used tabs on two Bibles only. I have them on my prayer Bible and my Bible garden.

Thank you Kimberlee! I definitely agree with you. I’m not really embarrassed that they’re empty but more that the emptiness means I haven’t read/looked closely at those passages. That’s all! Thank you for your encouragement 🥹🙏

Thank you! I found most of them on Pinterest! I hope you'll try it out. It makes me super happy and excited :')
What are you printing them on? The quality looks great not like just printer paper? I love watching Pastor Todd as well!! Love your style.

Just remember...Bible about God. Not about us. When you add to your Bible ..is it Glorifing God or You? Always ask that before every entry, picture, art you add.
Bless you! 🙏
Hi friend, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you!! Everything you said is so true. God bless you and keep you safe! 🥹🙏💖
Rebecca, this is a beautiful Bible. Your writing looks lovely too. What pen(s) do you use, I’m always on the lookout for good pens that don’t bleed through and yours don’t seem to. In Christ Dawn xx
Hi Dawn!! Thank you so so much for your sweet and encouraging words 🥹 I usually write with Muji 0.5 gel pens! I also like Pilot G2 pens but those bleed in thinner Bibles like this one.. definitely recommend Muji! They’re just hard to find because not every city has a store, which is a bummer 😔 I do feature them in my newest video I just shared today if you want to see what they look like. Hope this helps! God bless you! 🥹💖💌
Rebecca, I love what you did with the bedazzle. It’s a great contrast to the baby blue cover
Thank you Sony! I’m really happy with how it turned out 🥹🩵
JESUS IS KING!! ❤ you did an amazing job on this ! thank you for sharing your Bible ! God bless you ❤ (new sub)
Thank you so much for being here and for leaving your sweet comment! I'm so thankful. AMEN! Jesus is King!! ❤❤ God bless you too friend!
Where do you find all those full page pictures? I too got emotional where Jesus is holding lamb!! ❤
I find all the artwork on Pinterest! I pinned most of them into my Bible board. Hope this helps! 💖 pin.it/1tPQB5sqF
I loved your video and I loved how you said you start feeling idolized and it’s just not good. I would like to pick up my bibles and read them again this year.
Thank you so much for being here and listening to my two cents. I pray you will thirst for God's Word like you thirst for water. I believe in you! You can do it! Blessings to you.
It’s beautiful! And what you’re saying makes complete sense☺️
Hi friend, thank you so much for watching! I'm really glad that you understood what I was trying to say! I felt so scatter-brained when filming because I was panicking on flipping the pages while also having things to say HAHA. Wishing you a prosperous 2024!
Thanks for the flip through of your Bible, very inspiring! Would love to see more about the body, soul, spirit chart you showed. ☺
Thank you so much for watching 🥺 Your comment is definitely confirmation to me that I need to make that video! It’s been on my heart for a bit but I’ve been a bit scared to post more “teaching videos.” Please pray for me to have more courage and boldness. Learning about the body soul and spirit was something that changed my life so I just need to share asap! Thank you for your comment. 🙏🤍😚
You seem to have so much courage and boldness already, but I'll be praying that you see what we all see! 😊 God is definitely using you to help others grow in their faith.@@rebeccaly
Thank you sweet Michele! I think I’ve definitely grown a lot in courage in the past few years. I used to be so shy that I’d cry, if I had to talk to large groups of people or strangers. I feel like Moses because he had a stutter & I have anxiety.. God’s been working through me though so I know it’s not by my own strength! I feel so unworthy but He’s so good and faithful and uses foolish things (shy anxious girl like me) to confound the wise. Hopefully this content will be filmed soon hehe. Thank you for your encouraging words!
Rebecca you are absolutely Awesome in every way, and i hope that you never stop making video's, because your video's are Amazing 👏🙏💕 Side Note: What pen do you use for writing in this Bible? Also, what kind of printer do you have? Because your printed pictures at the beginning of the books look so crisp and nice!!! Thank You for your Videos!! 🙏💕
Awww thank you so much sweet sister for your kind words! I'm so touched. :')❤
I love the 0.5 gel pen by Muji. I also like the Pilot G2 pens, but these usually leave some ghosting. I have an HP Color LaserJet Pro printer, which my parents got from Costco a few years back. Hope this helps!! ❤ God bless you!
Thank you for the tip regarding putting the book of the Bible tabs on the top of the pages. I’ve shared this great notion!
Hi Nancy, oh absolutely! I tab most of my Bibles this way because I love thumbing through the pages on the side. I hope you'll like it if you try it! (also easier to read since the words are the right way instead of sideways)! Thanks for watching and being here!! :)
@@rebeccalyThe books of the Bible tabs are read the right way instead of sideways, Duh! I hadn’t thought of that in my whole life 😂 but it makes sense. I have The Jesus Bible and was afraid to write in it but you’ve changed me with that now! Just Thank you!!!
@@nancy7542 this made me smile! I hope you enjoy writing or marking up your Bible, and that it’s blessed you in the same way it’s blessed me! I’m so excited for you! Remember it’s okay to make mistakes, and that you can always cover any if they really bother you. The most important thing is that you’re spending time with our Heavenly Father! 🥹🥹🙌
@@rebeccaly At first, I was upset I’d awoken & couldn’t get back to sleep at 3 am but God introducing me to your vlog is time well spent because the minor (which is still pretty great is the art) and the major is your reminders how much Jesus loves us and uses us to bring each other closer to Him.
@@nancy7542 wow that’s so crazy!! God really knows how to comfort us when we need it. I’m so honored and humbled that my video was helpful to you when you couldn’t sleep. I pray in Jesus mighty Name that you will be able to go back to sleep and be fully energized for tomorrow. Take care Nancy!! 🤍🤍
First time watching your Channel.love it ❤
Welcome!! Thank you so much for being here and leaving your sweet comment! I appreciate you :') Blessings to you!
You are such a blessing ❤
As are YOU! Thank you Brenda for your sweet comment and for being here 🥹💖
Some of the Old Testament is kind of empty for me, too, so don't be embarrassed ❤ as long as you're reading the bible and staying close to Jesus, then your good ❤
I appreciate this! Thank you so much for being here and leaving your kind comment! God bless you 💜
I’m so excited! My Jesus Bible will be here Wednesday! After seeing your Bible collection flip through video the other day I decided I really needed/wanted it. I was lucky to find it on clearance at the site I went to. Praise God. I can’t wait to explore and learn more about Jesus. Thanks for the recommendation! ✝️
Oh my goodness!! This comment made my day. I hope you will enjoy and love it as much as I do! Clearance is the best! May God bless you in your reading and in your studies! ❤❤
wow, that is an amazing bible. all glory to God. Jesus is king
Thank you! All glory to God! Amen. 😌🙌
Rebecca, thank you for sharing this amazing video. I am really encouraged with your art work and notes in your Bible. Pls let me know where you got these pictures from.
Hi friend, thanks for watching and being here! I am so encouraged my your kind words. You can find basically all the photos on Pinterest. Here's a link to my Bible board, which should have most of them :) www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/
14:26 the comment “Wow God I see you” was confirmation you are studying and make Him happy with your studying.
So many coincidences where I just knew it was nothing but God! I think He speaks through these coincidences 💖
The stickers look professional actually
They’re just from dollar tree :)
Loved your flip through! It looks like your top tabs are the books of the Bible. What are your side tabs about?
Aww hi there! I loveee your channel! The side tabs are pages that have longer notes (such as from sermons or Bible studies). Some are labeled for quick access because they are pages I want easy access to. In the beginning, I started tabbing the sides so I could be encouraged by my spiritual growth, but later on I no longer needed it and only tabbed notes I want to easily reference. Thank you for watching 🥹💌❣️
@rebeccaly thanks so much for watching my videos too! I appreciate you explaining the tabs.
Great video. I'm new to bible journaling. I've been using YouVersion app for years but trying something new.
It's hard with two small kids so I definitely don't out too many expectations on my self. For a while I was definitely feeling pressure like "I need to FILL this thing up" but my heart checked me because the bible itself should not become an idol.
I'm definitely leaning more towards note taker style bible journaling.
I like the idea of a few art pieces on blank pages but I want to be able to see the word.
Hi friend! Thanks so much for being here and leaving your thoughtful comment! I completely agree with what you said. A heart check is always good when we feel tempted or pressured to fill up the pages. God just wants our hearts. I only add art to blank pages or I'll tape them in a way where I can still flip them over and read the text. Wishing you a prosperous year of Bible reading and studying. I can only imagine how busy it gets as a mom, but know that God SEES YOU!! Blessings to you sister! :)
Amazing buddy hopefully the days Will be more successful always stay connected
Thank you so much! Appreciate you being here! :’)
I have a Jesus Bible as my main physical Bible and I love it!
It’s such a wonderful Bible. Love how all the notes point toward Jesus! 💞
❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you, thank you 🙏🏼
God bless you too!! 🥹🙏🤍
Hi Rebecca, is the picture of Daniel, meshach and abednego( in the book of Daniel, in your Bible) a sticker or did you draw it?😊
Hi! This was a printable from Illustrated Faith/ Print and Pray...I unfortunately can no longer find the link but this was the closest I could find... www.illustratedfaith.com/shop/print-pray-kids-cutouts-daniel2/ which is also out of stock but maybe the artist will have other things you'd like if you like the art style!
Thank you so Much!
I love the stars on the front of your Bible. How did you do that, what stickers did you use?
Thanks so much!! I actually got the stars like this from Dollar Tree and I just stuck them on.. I got so lucky because I haven’t seen them again any other time I visited.. I don’t know if you can find the exact same ones but I’d definitely recommend checking out your local dollar stores for stickers! ☺️💖
so beautiful!! i'm sorry if you mentioned in the video and i just didn't hear it but where did you find such gorgeous pictures to put in your bible? thank you ❤
Thank you so so much for your sweet comment! It's no biggie at all. I find them all on Pinterest. You can find most of the images in my pinterest board, but you might have to scroll a bit because I constantly pin new images haha. Hope this helps! www.pinterest.com/rebeccalyxo/bible/
Thanks for sharing.I have a book called the bible in 52 weeks that im reading and writing in.there isnt enough space for me to expand my notes on each chapter of the bible i read.i think im on week 7 or 9.I need to get a note taking book
That's so awesome! You must be learning so so much if there's no more space. Wishing you a prosperous year of Bible reading and studying! I hope you'll find a book that meets your needs. There's so many cute ones online and even in places like Dollar Tree, Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.! Thanks for being here! ❤
Really recommend keeping a notebook for the SOAP method
Scripture
Observation
Application
Prayer
I do this all the time too! Sometimes unintentionally as well. Thanks for recommending ☺❤
I never thought about inserting pictures!
i love it! I'm an artist and love looking at art, so adding it into my Bible makes it more personal and exciting for me
Rebecca, I’m sorry if I missed it but I am wondering what are the tabs on the side of your Bible? And the beads hanging out of the spine?
No don’t be sorry!! It’s a long video so it’s easy to miss.
I don’t think I actually talked about my side tabs but those are basically just markers of pages where I have a lot of notes! Especially sermon notes that I want to refer to again. I just used regular tabs, washi tape, and sometimes stickers! There’s no code or anything for those tabs. Just whatever I felt like :)
As for the beads, it’s actually from one of my bookmarks! My Bible only has one ribbon so I have quite a few bookmarks in there haha. It’s from Christian Art Gifts from many many many years ago. I’m sure you could find something similar online like on Amazon, or at your local bookstore ☺️
Hope this helps! God bless you 🥹💖🫶🏼
Love your Bible so pretty
Thank you so much for your compliment and for being here! 💜
I love this! 💜 I have been thinking about getting myself a Jesus Bible. Is it small enough to carry to church?
Thank you so much!! 🥹🤍 I adore this Bible. I would say it’s more on the heavy side.. it’s about 3lbs. I filled mine so much it’s 4lbs now. I personally still carry it everywhere with me because I don’t mind but it might be a hassle if you’re wanting something smaller!
I’m watching this again for the millionth time lol 😂
Hahahah I love you so much! 🥹🤍
Commenting on this video for the 5millonith Time lol 😂 this has to be my fav flip through, sometimes I feel like I over stuff the pages with notes but I learning a lot; it’s a lot better than acts 1 and 2 you’ll get lost in acts 1 and 2 it’s like a maze lol 😂 oh but the psalms I love them. You should check out psalms 29 and meditate on it I’m still in awe of it, we had a sermon on it yesterday at TG which is for 7th-12th graders
Also you should listen to John MacArthurs sermons on Grace to you I think that’s what’s it’s called but his sermons are so different that they are so good
Hahahaha I adoreee you! Thank you so much for revisiting and your sweet comments! This is so encouraging to me. I think overstuffing with notes is absolutely wonderful because like you said… you’re learning so much! Amen to that.
The psalms are so beautiful! I love meditating on them 🥺💜 I’ll definitely look into John MacArthur’s sermons! Thank you for your recommendations 🫶🏼
@@rebeccaly No problem He also has a study bible and commentaries
I hear his name a lot! I’ve heard of his study Bible before. Definitely need to give his sermons a listen!! 🎧
Stunning! Where is the artwork from?!
Thanks!! I get basically all the artwork from Pinterest. You can find them on my Bible board. Hope this helps! pin.it/5SLwL5z2f
17:50 I love the fingerprint ❤
Me too! I found it on Pinterest and thought it was so simple but beautiful and powerful! We have our identity in Christ 🤍
This is SOOOOO rich!!!!!❤
You are SOOO sweet. Thank you for being here! Blessed by your comment ❤
You should check out Calvery Chapel Ontario. They post their live streams here. They have great in-depth Bible studies.
Thanks so much for your recommendation! I will definitely look into this. Appreciate you being here! :)
im sorry if youve already answered this but what are the name of your small tabs you added on the top? I want some that size, not the big chunky ones on Amazon 😭
I use the rainbow Bible tabs by tabbies, which are also sold on Amazon or ChristianBook! Hope this helps 💖
Thanks!
@@unholyconfessions My pleasure! 🤍
Please don’t be embarrassed of the “blank” spots. Some people use one Bible forever and that’s ok. Some people use multiple/start new ones and that’s ok. It’s YOUR walk with Jesus, and that is what matters most. ❤
I really appreciate and agree with your comment! Thank you for your encouraging words and for being here. God bless you in your walk with Him! ❤❤
You said you want to get into Ezekiel, Wendy Bender is a Bible teacher with a channel on here (the channel name is her name) and she recently said she plans on doing a study in Ezekiel this year. Maybe you could keep an eye on her channel for that! I myself really enjoyed reading Ezekiel recently and am looking forward to it myself.
Oh my goodness thank you so much friend for your recommendation. I am also subscribed to Wendy! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for when she posts that. Thank you so much, this is so thoughtful of you 🥹🤍
This is so beautiful!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you ❤
Okay I’m commenting for idk how many times but I feel burnt out in Bible studies so I think I’m going back to a normal Bible and just raking notes how I do :) maybe idk
That’s totally great!! I get you.. sometimes I feel burnt out too so I just read and don’t mark anything up. As long as you get your daily Bread in!! 🤭🩵💌🍞🥖
May God bless you all 🤍🙏
God bless you too friend! 🥹💌🙏
Love this
Thank you Sarah for being here! I’m glad you like it 🥹🤍
❤God Bless You
Thank you, God bless you too Carolyn 🥹💖
Thank you for sharing your Bible is beautiful!! May I ask, the pictures you add throughout your bible are also so beautiful, do you have them saved on pinterest? If you do what is your name on pinterest, or would you share them with me please?
Aww thank you so much! Yes I do! My Pinterest username is rebeccalyxo and everything should be in my “Bible” board. It should be linked on my profile and the description boxes of my videos! Blessings 💖
This is how I want to do my Bible, but my creativity is like so dead. I hate it too, And I appreciate all the tips and advice youtubers give for these kinda things in our Bible's but other then copy and pasting others ideas It still doesnt work. I'm not someone who likes to copy paste other peoples ideas either, just me not being original lol and don't feel comfortable with it.😂
Aww that’s okay! We all have different talents. I pray you’ll find something you enjoy doing that feels personal to you. Sometimes when I’m in a creative rut, copying someone else’s idea helps me to get out of it. I’ll just copy the parts of ideas that I really like and try to switch it up to make it more my own. May God bless you in your pursuit of Him. Take care!! 🥹🤍
Rebecca at 15:52 in Romans you have a tip in about body, soul, spirit. would you pleeeeease do a video on that study and where you got that printable? pretty please🙏. I need this in my life❤ thanks!
Hi Lois, this has been on my heart for a bit now...your comment was definitely confirmation that I NEED to make this video. I will try my best to organize my thoughts and film + edit this as soon as I can. I'm not sure how soon I can get it up because this is definitely something I need to keep mediating on and word correctly. Please pray for me, I need some extra courage and boldness to "teach" on my channel.
Until then, I highly recommend watching this video: ua-cam.com/video/MUiIAZTMiBM/v-deo.html It is SOOO GOOD.
I took a screenshot from the video and made my own "printable" for my discipleship class...but this stuff is so important. Thank you again for your comment. The Holy Spirit is definitely tugging at my heart to talk about body, soul, and spirit.
@rebeccaly no pressure!!! I know recording and editing are extremely time consuming. thank you for the link to the other video because you definitely sparked my interest in that topic. so I'll patiently watch the other video until you release your next video. you def have a sub for life here. Hugs, dear sister in Christ!!
@loislopez4159 you’re gonna make me tear up!! Thank you. Love you, sister in Christ 🥹💗
Awesome video my friend!!
Thank you very much for your never ending support Natasha!
It is refreshing to see a young person who loves her Bibles so much. I am 75 years old, and I absolutely love God and reading my Bible. To help me see Jesus throughout the Bible, three years ago, I circled every reference to Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, and the pronouns which refer to them. There are some pages in my Bible that I have 65 circles on the page! Without doing this activity, I would have missed the reference to Jesus. Now I do not read through a Bible without doing this activity. Keep up the good work on your Bible reading and on your videos. ❤❤
Hi Judith, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so touched. I really love this activity...I will definitely need to read with this activity in mind. It sounds very powerful. God bless you Judith! May He continue to reveal more and more to you each day 🥺💖
I love your bible it’s so cute
Thank you so much!! 🥹🩵
Queria que tivesse dublagem 😢😢 mas é linda a sua biblia!❤
Aww I’m sorry! I wish I knew more languages. But thank you so much for your kind words! God bless you!! 🥺🙏🤍
What kind of post it and or tape did you use? I would prefer to do this over my current method of carrying a separate journal.
Hi Maria, I just use whatever sticky notes I already have laying around. I like using washi tape! It's decorative and doesn't tear my pages. I hope you'll like this method if you try it out! God bless you!
@@rebeccaly Peace and Blessings. Thank you. I will look for washi tape. I appreciate you sharing this.
@@marianolindo8726 it’s my pleasure! You can find washi tape nearly anywhere these days! Amazon, craft stores, even dollar tree! Peace and blessings to you too 💖
Hi Rebecca, your video popped up in my YT recommendations. I just wanted to share some thoughts about it.
I found it interesting that you talk about ‘idolization’ of a bible, do I understand it correct that you mean you don’t want the decoration of this book to become more important than studying in it?
I wanted to share something about the importance of having a standard of Gods Word.
If two persons read the same text from a different Bible that says something else then how do we know which one is correct
I learned not so long ago that most bibles that are used in modern church are corrupted Bibles they are based on Alexandrian manuscripts (Egypt) instead of Textus receptus manuscripts (Antioch) .
Not only are important doctrines changed there are even verses completely left out.This Jesus Bible is also a modern version not based on original manuscripts, the textus receptus. So always compare what you read with the pure original text in Kjv Bible.
Psalm 138: 2 tells this: I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Gods word is not changing it is very important to study from the correct Bible version, it is easy to be distracted and the enemy knows very well how to keep us distracted from studying from Gods True Word. Have a blessed weekend
Hi friend, thank you so much for being here and for leaving your thoughtful comment! By idolization, I just mean putting anything or anyone we put before God. Even good things like ministry, reading our Bibles, our families, etc., may become idols if we put them in front of God Himself. I think at one point, I struggled with idolizing my Bible and feeling like I had to "fill up all the pages" since I knew other people would see it...I was doing it not just because I wanted to spend time with God, but because I was also worried about how others viewed me. Because of this, I am now very careful...so I made it a point to only write notes and highlight when I am in the mood to do so...I will not mark anything if I find myself thinking about anything besides wanting to spend time with God. I hope this makes sense...but the way you phrased it is also a part of it!
I understand your hesitations about modern translations. I hear that a lot, which is why I also have KJV, NKJV, and other translations. I don't currently read KJV as my main Bible because it is confusing for me...I think I would misinterpret it a lot...and worse than how I understand modern translations. I'm a believer that the best translation for a person is one that they will actually read and apply to their life!
The missing verses are still in my Bible...just usually in italics. If we really think about it, all our English Bibles are translations of the original Hebrew and Greek text. I also believe that God is sovereign enough to still reach and touch people despite human error! Everyday He uses flawed people like you and I to be the light in the dark world. I have different translations and compare them because although they all essentially mean the same thing, sometimes the NIV or the NLT or the NKJV version just cuts deeper to my heart. Sometimes just a difference of some words makes it hit that much more.
Although I don't feel the same convictions as you when it comes to Bible translations, I appreciate your concern, and I applaud you for using KJV! Hope you've had a blessed Sunday! :)
Hi thank you for taking time to answer. The issue is not translation, it's which underlying text is used. There are multiple Hebrew and Greek texts.
The most important thing to understand is that the KJV is based on what is called the majority text. Which consists of around 6000 manuscripts. 99% of manuscripts agree with the majority text.
Modern bible versions are nearly all based on the so-called critical text. Also called the minority text.
The critical text consists of around 40 manuscripts. The most important one is called Codex Vaticanus. (Guess where it comes from).
Around 90% of any modern translation comes from this manuscript. Around 8% comes from Codex Sinaiticus. These manuscripts are Alexandrian. They are from Egypt and demonstrable gnostic in nature. They do not agree with the majority text which comes from Antioch, Assyria (see Acts 11: 26).
The vaticanus and sinaiticus manuscripts alter the text in many places and they omit many verses. They also have the apocryphal books as part of the old testament. The modern new testament in use today is the Novum Testamentum Graece by Nestle/UBS also called the NU text. It is made under supervision of the Vatican. the 27nd edition page 45 proves this.
God is able to reach someone through wondrous ways. Everyone has his or her own responsibility for which Bible they pick to study from. Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :')
Hey, random question! Do you know anything about the meaning of Hebrews 10:26? I've been stuck on the meaning for a while now.
Hi Suzi, I think this short article helps explain this verse well: www.gotquestions.org/Hebrews-10-26.html
It reminds me of the wise man verses the foolish man. The wise man listens to what he hears (the gospel) and applies it to his life, building his house on the firm foundation of the rock. Meanwhile, a foolish man hears, but does not put into practice, building his house in sand. (Matthew 7:21-27).
We shouldn’t cherry pick what we want to obey in the Bible and ignore the others commandments and sin deliberately. There’s no sacrifice that can atone for someone who only accepts Jesus’ love/grace/forgiveness when it’s convenient but ignores Jesus’ teachings/corrections when it’s convenient. The main idea is deliberately sinning, willingly, without abandon. Of course as Christians, we all fall short of the glory of God and sin too but we repent and turn away from the sin. There’s a difference between the two.
This is what I think, and I hope it helps, but I may also be wrong! Please also take this question up to the Lord in your personal time! Please also seek other spiritual mentors and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning to you. 🙏🙏
Blessings, Rebecca
ohh! so you're saying that the verse is saying don't take God's sacrifice for granted, right? I'm not born again yet and I was just wondering if it meant that continual sin throughout someone's life will not be forgiven because they are taking the sacrifice only when it's convenient or something along those lines. Does God forgive us if we sin continually after knowing about Jesus and His sacrifice? @@rebeccaly
I would agree with this! If we know something is sinful but keep doing it, then it’s like we’re taking God’s sacrifice and grace for granted. He forgives us for everything when we repent…but that doesn’t give us a free pass to keep living in sin and disobeying God because we know He’ll forgive us. Instead, we are called to renew our minds and to change our ways! To live in spirit and in truth instead!
But sometimes even though we are Christians, we can still stumble into sin. I’ll use myself as an example. I feel jealousy and anger! Sometimes I keep those emotions in my heart and start to resent others. I know that it’s a sin, but sometimes I stumble. We are not perfect and God doesn’t expect us to be…that’s why He sent His Son in the first place. BUT because I know that these things are sin, I try my best to stay away from them. I try to go to God with my feelings when I’m feeling jealous or angry, and try to forgive people in my heart as soon as possible. I do this because I know God has forgiven me.
I hope this makes sense. I would also encourage you to speak with other people you trust, and I bet a pastor would love to answer your question and provide for you a better answer! I hope you’ll keep meditating on the gospel message and that one day you’ll accept Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior. I will be praying for you also! God bless you friend!!
Could you please tell me which paper/material you used to print your artwork on?
Honestly I just use regular printer paper...whatever my family has in the house.
Right now, we have "Boise X-9 Multi-Use Copy Paper" (green and white packaging) but I don't think it's anything special. I would just recommend you use whatever you already have, or whatever is best for your budget :)
Thank you so much!
it's my pleasure! :)
Hi! Where could I find pictures like that to insert into my Bible? Do you print them yourself?
I get them all from Pinterest. My account is always linked in the descriptions of my videos! I print everything at home
