I don't know about y'all, but when I have the necessary tools to really dig into God's Word and surround myself with Him everyday, life just makes more sense! So I wanted to write a post about habits and resources that really help me make the most of my relationship with Jesus.
Post-It Notes: Seriously, my bedroom walls are slowly turning into a sticky note gallery. Whenever I'm listening to a song or reading a verse that really speaks to me, I write it down and stick it in a place where I will see it often. Some of them are on the wall right next to my bed so that they are the first and last thing I see every day. I also have one on my laptop that says, "the cross has made you flawless." That one is probably my fave! Put them in your car, on your desk, in your planner, literally anywhere!
Journaling Bible: When journaling Bibles first became trendy, I wasn't sure how I felt about them, BUT my mom got me one and it's just the most beautiful Bible ever. At first, I was actually intimidated by the blank columns on each page, and tried to fill them with doodles and fancy handwriting. Turns out that's just not my thing, so I've decided to just "be myself" with my journaling Bible! Being able to write encouraging notes and reminders to myself right next to the verse they relate to is super cool and helpful.
Highlighter Method: There are so many different Bible study methods, but the one I have found the most helpful is from Jordan Lee over on http://thesoulscripts.com. All you need is a set of highlighters, a pen, and your journaling Bible! I know it probably looks a lil crazy and messy at first (I thought so too), but it makes so much sense once you dive into the Word and map everything out.
Spotify Playlists: For me, Spotify is the simplest way to include Jesus in my daily life. I follow a bunch of worship playlists and Christian artists, and I listen to them whenever I have quiet time during my day (when I'm getting ready, driving, working on a project, or even cooking). This is also helpful for keeping our minds on the Lord regardless of what we're doing during our day!
I would love to hear your favorite ways to connect to the Lord and study His Word in your daily routine!
