Bible Journaling – Genesis 6-12

More Genesis Bible Journaling.

I might be slightly OCD and have the need to complete even art projects in order. Therefore, I bible journal from beginning to end. My mom got me started on this journaling journey. I admit I was resistant to color in a bible, reminiscing on times that I would get in trouble for coloring in anything but a coloring book!

This awesome pin inspired me to do a drawing at the beginning of Genesis. I combined it with this one. A little coloring at the first of a biblical book that summarizes what’s in the book is always fun. This sometimes is a compilation of little drawings or further descriptions about the assumed author. Either way it makes me happy to color a whole page instead of a bookmark size on the side.

I use the Micron Pens and these colored pencils are the very best choice.

Genesis 6

For the Genesis 6:19 two by two portion of the verse inspired me, as well as some googled cartoon monkeys. Although more than two of each animal entered the ark, I like the typical depiction of two by two. It is reminiscent of couples to me, which makes my heart happy! They also look a bit like precious moments animals.

Genesis 8

Next, Noah sent out the dove as noted, signified found land. A swirly dove can be used in several bible journalings that I stowed away for future use.

Genesis 9:16

Then, God’s promise inspired by the rainbow. This pin put the idea in my mind. There are a lot of symbols of promise but this is my favorite.

I pretty much replicated this drawing for my tower of Babel. It is strange to think that until this uprising, all people spoke the same language and could understand each other. That will be nice in heaven!
