Hi Robin. I've been a born again Christian for 49 years. For the last 10 years or so, I haven't gone to church. People can be very hurtful, even in church. My husband and I just found a church to attend. I need to keep my eyes on Christ and not the human element. You have a faithful viewer on your faith journal journey 🌟Merry Christmas🌟
So proud of you Ms Robin. It takes a lot of courage in our day and age to be counted as a follower of Jesus!! He promised that those who hunger and thirsty after righteousness shall be filled Matthew 5:6. Praying for God's Word to come alive as you read and meditate!! Blessings❤
I did Bible in one year last year for the first time and prayed (and still pray) for better understanding each day I read. I definitely struggled but I was glad I did it. I've been thinking about starting some kind of scripture writing. This is great inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this idea I always need to have the Lord close to my heart . I feel if I write and have a little conversation with the Lord it helps me thru all my storms and I can face anything daily. God bless
Thank you for sharing, Robin. This beautiful setup reflects the essence of your heart, and I genuinely appreciate it. Wishing you the very best on your journey.
I am a born again Christian as well, I got baptized last year (nov). my family never went to church or loved the Lord, But he has always been in my life, just lost track over the years. my kids love the Lord as well, and enjoy going to church, and helping out with the church. I am loving every min of it
Hi Robin I just have to say thank you for the inspiring take on our unique walks of faith. I just lost my baby girl Belle recently and have been in a dark cloud in my heart. Though she was a dog she was my baby, my everything. She was all I had that kept me fighting everyday. Through this grief it brought me back to God & these ideas of yours have helped me in my journey in faith. God bless you for sharing your faith.
I’m excited that you’ll be using a hobonichi weeks for this. The weeks is a planner that I just can’t quit. even if I have other planners that I jump in and out of for different things, one of them is always a weeks. I hope you’ll keep sharing how you decorate your pages! It’s so relaxing to watch your process and makes me feel like I have a planner buddy to decorate with 😊
You mentioned God wanting us to be happy with the things we love and this scripture came mind. "For he will not often call to mind the years of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart." Ecclesiastes 5:20 Wonderful video, Robyn
Please please please keep this journal going! I watch Ginger’s corner and she does faith journaling. She keeps it going but does say those are her least watched videos. I promise I will watch EVERY faith based video you put out. I think I watch all of your videos anyway but especially the faith based videos.
The Lord is faithful to meet you where you are at. You're on the right track to desire the things of God. He holds your hand and walks beside you through it all. I use my Hobonichi Cousin as my planner and prayer journal and scripture writing. The one book is my catch-all 😊
Thank you for sharing. I’m hoping 2025 will be the year I can read my Bible. 2024 has been a difficult year for me but I know God is there for me as he is for you. God bless!
I'm very happy you made this video for yourself. Your walk, your journey, your business. Love the tabs, please share. I had to find a bible that I could connect with before my journey could take off. All of God's children are different and yet he loves and blesses us all. You are a blessing to many. God bless the two new additions to your family.
Thank you for this Robin! I definitely want to incorporate more Bible reading in 2025. I’m battling some ideas around about doing a “Sunday Journal” with sermon notes as well as Scripture readings and prayers requests and gratitude. Love all the decor and stickers! I definitely meed to visit Hobby Lobby as they have a nice selection of faith based stickers. Thanks again, and as always God bless you.
Love that you are using a weeks for this. I have a bullet journal for my bible journal. I find that if I do gratitude, I am writing down the same thing over and over.
Thank you for sharing this. I feel as if this layout could be used with almost any belief system. I may not be a religious person myself however I do enjoy seeing others thoughts and ideas and try to take something away from it. Again thank you. I wish you the best to keep going in this journey.
I know that different things work for different people, but I can share what I've started doing. I can't remember which book I began in, but I started on chapter 1 verse 1, and just copied it until I filled a page with writing. I thought, if nothing else, it would be good penmanship practice. Then I use the little Our Daily Bread booklet and write that scripture, read the little devotional. I write about it, if I feel like it. Then I use the rest of the second page for listing gratitude. It's surprising what I get from just copying scriptures. The fact that you WANT to do it, is a HUGE step.
I absolutely love this! I’m on my faith journey this year as well! I’ve been slacking horribly lately. It’s my main focus and my health for 25. I’m doing the Bible recap and also bought the one year bible on Amazon to read daily.
Thank you for this vlog! So good. Don’t let anyone discourage or discount your faith and relationship with God. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and have a new year filled with blessings and gratitudes.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I hear what is on your heart. ❤️ what a great way to start the year and a great way to use the weeks! I’ve searched for years how to learn more about the Bible and by far this example is the best I’ve heard. You are a special person and you probably will never know how many people’s lives you have touched in a positive way. 😊
I'm like you, ashamed to say I don't read my Bible enough. I connected with some other ladies online this year, using a Bible app. I can listen to the chapters and that's helped a lot. The OT is so hard for me.
Hey Robin- your video was so uplifting and comforting to me. I worry about the future way too much but when u said give us today our daily bread. It put me at ease. I wrote out the Lord’s Prayer in my Hobonichi A5 daily page so I can look back at it when I start to feel anxious about the future unknowns. ❤
Like these ideas. I’m starting a spiritual notebook this year which will have a list of encouraging articles I’ve read, scriptures that help myself/others (when asked) and notes on deeper dives/research into bible characters like Esther and Paul that I can learn from. Also tracking my daily bible reading, hopefully in chronological order. Let’s do this!!🙏🏽💝🙏🏽
No need to apologize for speaking and sharing truth. You were right, it is "we" because God wishes for none to perish and its your responsibility as a believer to walk in truth and spirit sharing with the world. Be yourself and be bold in your faith. When you share you are being obedient to God's will. If it offends someone it may be the Holy Ghost within is convicting another and that's between them and God. Maybe your faith and unapologetic boldness will lead others to Christ, Glory be to God. All believers are on different levels of their walk with God too... embrace where you are at and praise God for leading you to this to strengthen your relationship with him this year. I'm so happy for you!!!! God bless your journey with him.
Thank you for this vlog! So good. Don’t let anyone discourage or discount your faith and relationship with God. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and have a new year filled with blessings and gratitudes. Oh…highly recommend a life application Bible which has commentary for each verse which will make reading the Bible more interesting and understandable.
I absolutely love watching your channel Robin, I am on a similar walk as you are with your faith as well as many many other things that you love #stickersaremyjam ❤️ lots of love, crazy laughter and prayers from Dubai xx
I don't try to memorize Scripture. I have always had problems with memorization, so I just study. My study habits have changed over the years, up to and including this past year. I now follow two different pastors of two different denominations, and I watch the 30 minute reruns of their sermons Monday through Friday morning. As they state Scripture, it is also shown on the screen, so I write all of the Scriptures referenced in each sermon and later, I go back and write the Scripture out on cute note pads I bought, then washi tape them to the page of notes. That is my Scripture writing habit for the last year. I have been using common items and only recently started getting interested in washi tape. Then all of you dear ladies started showing up in my UA-cam feed showing all of your journals and stickers, etc. Now I am going to try to get organized in 2025 by organizing my sermon notes in a journal. I am also going to start using a planner to help me get with the program because I lost a lot of incentive after my husband passed away six months ago. There is no way I can use anything smaller than the classic size journaling paper. You are blessed you have family to be with. Enjoy them and the time you have with them. God bless you.
So sorry for your loss. I became a widow suddenly in 2018 so I know about that kind of journey. Do what sits well with you and you will have fun with all this. Thx for watching.
I’m definitely interested in this journey you’re trying to take. I just need to know what’s your plan and possible format. By the way, what is the lady’s name who is an asset to journaling?
One question and please don't think I'm silly, but when you say a prayer request do you mean from someone who asks you to pray for them or is it your very own prayers for yourself? 🙏💖😂🫶💒👼
Hi Robin I know how you feel about not being able to get a handle on reading the Bible. It's very hard for me to understand. I was introduced to the NIV Bible which is the new international version and it reads like a book. From what I understand it's like the word Ye a lot of religious leaders got together and agreed that that means the I'm not sure if that's correct I'm just trying to give an example. It gives a great glossary in the back so if you wanted to look up Angel it gives you appropriate places to go find what it says about them. In the New testament it still has the red words of God. It might be like a useful handbook to go along with your Bible if you don't want to read it by itself. Anyway I just thought maybe you had never saw it and might like to look for it or try it out I would even mail you one if you wanted it I'm just like to make people happy. And I myself have no problem with you mentioning your spiritualness God or your beliefs because that's what friends do. We accept each other for everything all parts not just certain parts have a wonderful wonderful day your Oregon friend❤
"I do have snotsville" 😂 I love it. I have been in your same position. I am working myself back to a good relationship with God. ALSO We church people can be so nasty.
You are not the only one that things the bible is 'boring' The enemy sets it up that way to keep us out of the word. The word is our weapon. I grew up in church but my real journey didn't start until June 2022. When you have that personal relationship it will become a living word. I also thought I must be a bad Christian cause I couldn't recite scriptures and find the books easily. But now, it's easy. I don't think we should have it memorized anyway, we are meant to keep going back and reading it. We will get fresh revelation each time. 💗 We need more faith not less.
I love this idea of a prayer journal. I have to agree with you on the Loved Beyond Measure sticker. The sticker is fine however, to attach Ephesians 3:19 to it, is not. That is someones interpretation of the passage in the bible. Interpretations of individuals are certainly not God's holy word. I'm glad that you pointed this out on your video.
Hi Robin. You said that you find the Bible boring and want to change things up, well, have you thought about a journalling bible??? The NLT inspiration series would be perfect for you. Not only are there beautiful images to colour in, but there are gorgeous vellum pages throughout with verses on them, lines to do journalling or notetaking, and you can read a passage at your leisure while you're colouring maybe?? If you found a bible that resonates with you, trust me you'll get into it. You can always add stickers etc into the Bible, make it your own. Highlight things that jump out to you, underline, circle, the sky is the limit. Anyway it's just a thought. Secondly, don't worry about what people say about what you speak about on your channel. It's your way or the highway, they don't need to stay and listen to you talking about God. So many You Tubers get caught up by the keyboard warriors out there and take their comments to heart, don't let them spoil it for you Robin. Keep doing what you're doing girl, luv ya mate!!! Hugs from me in the land down under, Australia 🙂
I love that you are being honest! I am horrible at reading the Bible also
Hi Robin. I've been a born again Christian for 49 years. For the last 10 years or so, I haven't gone to church. People can be very hurtful, even in church. My husband and I just found a church to attend. I need to keep my eyes on Christ and not the human element. You have a faithful viewer on your faith journal journey 🌟Merry Christmas🌟
Yes! Pray for wisdoms and discernment. Church people are the worse!
They sure can be!
So proud of you Ms Robin. It takes a lot of courage in our day and age to be counted as a follower of Jesus!! He promised that those who hunger and thirsty after righteousness shall be filled Matthew 5:6. Praying for God's Word to come alive as you read and meditate!!
Blessings❤

Oh thank you for this. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing and I loved your setup! Enjoy using it throughout the year! ❤️🤗
What a great idea! I appreciate your honesty in sharing.
My go to scripture is Psalm 23 and 91
I am super excited, great idea ❤ ! Stick with it 🎉

i love this so much, Robin!
I’m using my Weeks for scripture memorization. Looking forward to being in my Weeks every day.
Thank you so much for this video!! It’s exactly what I was needing. And love ur nails!!
Lovely video, TFS and keeping it real as only you can 💖 I think you’re going to have a special year ahead with this practice ✨
From your lips to Gods ears🩷🤣
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for sharing. I’m hoping 2025 will be the year I can read my Bible. 2024 has been a difficult year for me but I know God is there for me as he is for you. God bless!
Hi, I spent the whole year doing the one word a day in my hobo weeks that I learned from one of your videos maybe I’ll try this
Merry Christmas Robin and I too love Jesus🎄🙏💓💓💓
Merry Christmas!
New sub because of this video! I

Yeah sometimes it’s a lot of work and no fun which is why I’m doing one scripture a week
This is timely as I have recently been thinking of doing a prayer journal for 2025. TFS ✝️ 🙏

Oooooffff, I've been reading so many books on forgiveness lately, it is one of the things I struggle with terribly 😕
I'm really bad at scripture memorization as well and reading as well 😔 this new year going to try to read more

Your Christmas plans sound nice!
Loved beyond measure May be found in a different type of Bible as there are many.
"It's possible! It's possible!!" Lol... I hear ya and that made me lol. I'm horrible at it too by the way.
I absolutely love watching your channel Robin, I am on a similar walk as you are with your faith as well as many many other things that you love #stickersaremyjam ❤️ lots of love, crazy laughter and prayers from Dubai xx
Robin, you could check other translations and see how that verse is written elsewhere.

❤Can you tell me where you get your Bible from? I love it!😊
This has a different colored cover. Amazon has switched the item but same inside amzn.to/3VRqre3
Thank you so much ❤
I’m definitely interested in this journey you’re trying to take. I just need to know what’s your plan and possible format. By the way, what is the lady’s name who is an asset to journaling?
I’m sorry I dont know who you’re referring to.
For the sticker- just cut the Ephesians part off and use the Love beyond measure part. BTW- Love your channel.
Love your setup. Can I ask what cover that is on your weeks??
I have a clear cover and got the weeks from Amazon amzn.to/4furg3m
One question and please don't think I'm silly, but when you say a prayer request do you mean from someone who asks you to pray for them or is it your very own prayers for yourself? 🙏💖😂🫶💒👼
Anythjng that I come across that I feel needs prayer

How about you use the sticker and then write out the entire verse and the meaning
i am right there with you that the loved beyond measure sticker did not equally portray what Ephesians 3:19 says.

Yes I have one but don’t use it much. Too much work for me lately. Maybe I can pull it out and do the scripture I chose for the week.
i need to get back into Bible reading and studying. Dont let anyone tell you wrong or that
you don't know anything. i go by the Bible not a sticker.
Haha I love this! Me too!
Cut the scripture ref off, I totally agree with using it as is.
