    Hello Patty! I'm a 27-year-old woman from the Netherlands who found Jesus at the beginning of the year. In the Netherlands, we have something called a copy bible (overschrijfbijbel). Where you have the scripture on the left, and a lined space on the right. I own a Psalms copy Bible. I haven't gotten very far yet but it's so relaxing and so fun! Your video has inspired me so much. I decided that for my "life list" I want to write the entire bible like you! There are sadly no blank bibles sold in the Netherlands so instead I put the NKJ Interleaved Bible in my cart. I subscribed to you and I look forward watching more of your content!
    Lastly I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore your handwriting and that I love your accent! God bless! ❤

      Writing scripture is a way to study the Bible. When you write the scripture you slow down and concentrate on each word. It helps you to remember and understand better. It’s also a great way to spend time with God, a way to worship. Also an heirloom to pass down in your family. For me it is also very calming when I am stressed. ❤️
      God bless you. Patty

    Hi,
    I'm new to ur channel. I just watched the first video of urs. I'm so glad I Rab across it bc I've been so intriques by scripture writing and memorization with Josh Summers or Susan Heck and others. Or internalization as Keith Ferrin says. And I've been watching several others getting ideas. I love to watch the Homespun Wife, with Sherry, she is so sweet and shows how she writes scripture. She also talks about other things as well. Anyway, im not affiliated with any of these ppl it is strictly my opinions etc.
    Ty for sharing ALL of what u shared. I've never heard of a blank Bible or with or without lines. It is truly neat and so practical I wonder how come u or I or anybody we k would have come up with that ourselves. Lol and I love ur tree and flower idea. Ur tree is so awesome!!

    Ok, I am trying to understand why someone would want to rewrite the bible? I would make so many mistakes.

      I tend to skim when reading and tend to go do rabbit holes during studying. Scripture writing keeps me focused. Also, have problems with OCD. The repetitive motion is calming and productive. For me it's more the journey or process than a finished product. Because when I finish I will just start over.
