I just stood there staring at the handwritten Bible, completely in awe. Have you ever seen a completed one? I saw my first at the Plantin-Moretus Museum last month, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

The author’s name wasn’t listed, but I’ve wondered about them so often. What was it like to carefully scribe every word, line by line? Writing takes so much longer than reading-it forces you to slow down and to really sit with the words. It engages your mind and heart differently than simply listening or skimming a page.

That moment stirred something in me. The thought of one day handing a handwritten Bible down to my daughter feels so meaningful. I’m praying I finish what I’ve started. 🙏❤️

If you’re curious about this journey, here’s what I’m learning:
•Handwriting the Bible isn’t for everyone. If you don’t genuinely enjoy writing, I wouldn’t recommend it. But for me, it’s been deeply therapeutic-something I enjoy in my free time (and I’m scrolling and watching the news less- a bonus!)

•A smooth, good-quality pen makes all the difference (goodbye hand cramps 🙌). I’ve been using @writechofficial Astroline pens and they are so smooth.

•I only write the book names and chapter numbers-not the verse numbers.

•And I’m using a spiral-bound notebook so it can lay completely flat.

Have you ever thought about scribing the Bible? Would love to hear from you or answer any questions.❤️

I loved learning about this simple habit from Matthew Henry’s life. What an amazing idea!

I learned about this in @enduringwordcommentary a couple years ago and I love sharing it with others.

Today, before I begin Colossians, I am praying:

“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.”
Psalm 119:10

Amen💕

I studied the Psalms deeply every weekend for more than five years…

So to write a study from the overflow of what I learned and in an accessible way was such a joy!!

Twenty minute Bible Studies in the Psalms is available for pre-order and releases August 11th at most major bookstores. Feel free to comment “link” if you’d like me to send it to you.

Grateful for my publisher @harperchristianresources and agent @aliveliteraryagency for the incredible partnership!

All glory to God, and for the love of His word!!

Thank you, God, for your incredible love for each one of us. I love that when we talk to you, you are able to listen as though we are the only one speaking to you.

How amazing is the love of God!

I want to live my life each day as the disciple Jesus loved…how about you?💜

Do you know how sea glass is made? Sea glass simply begins as broken glass. Over time, it’s tossed by the waves, weathered by salt, and its sharp edges are softened over time. What was once ordinary becomes something beautiful, and what I’ve found to be an amazing treasure!

I can’t help but think that our lives with God often look the same. Through every trial, the tossing of the waves, and every season we didn’t choose, He is sanctifying us. Even when life feels like we’re being tossed about (oh I feel this!🤣) God is faithfully smoothing our rough edges and transforming us into something more like Christ.

Romans 8:28 🤍

PS. Did you know there is a Christian-owned seaglass/jewelry store in Ventura btw? I love @bettybelts so much.

Word studies have completely changed my Bible study and helped me go deeper. They give greater meaning to the passage and help me understand the author’s intent.

Do you enjoy a good word study?💕

Isn’t it fascinating that Jonah and 1 Peter were found together?

The Crosby–Schøyen Codex is now being shown @museumofbible in Washington D.C. and holds the oldest complete copies of Jonah and 1 Peter. They date to around 250-350 A.D. and were found bound together in a book in Egypt. It is written in Sahidic Coptic, an early language used by the believers.

How amazing that they also saw that the Old Testament pointed to Christ, just as we do today.

Thank you God, for preserving history!

Seeing the Dead Sea Scrolls in person at the Museum of the Bible was one of those moments I’ll never forget. To stand before some of the oldest known manuscripts of the Old Testament is incredible. They remind us that God’s Word has been faithfully preserved through thousands of years, and that we can trust the Bible.

They’re only on display at the Museum of the Bible
@museumofbible in Washington D.C. for a limited time, so if you have the opportunity to go, don’t miss it. It’s a truly unforgettable experience. 🤍

Have you had the chance to see these archaeological treasures yet?💜

“God delights in His people.” Psalm 149:4

Wow, just love this quote that highlights a beautiful truth, that God delights in us. What an amazing thing to think about when we enter Heaven.💜

Sometimes it’s the simple but powerful lessons that hit you. I had read Psalm 19 numerous times before this simple little phrase hit me.

I just love His Word.

And preaching to my heart again today, because I am struggling with motivation. But trusting God to meet me here.🤍

How about you?

Did early believers also believe that Jesus was God?

Seeing the Megiddo Mosaic at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. was such a powerful reminder that long before us, ordinary men and women worshiped the same Savior we worship today, declaring that He was God. Their legacy of faith still points us to Jesus nearly 1,800 years later.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Museum of the Bible @museumofbible I highly encourage you to see it. It’s one of those moments that makes the history of our faith feel beautifully tangible and leaves you with a deeper appreciation for the generations of believers who have gone before us.

Have you had a chance to visit the museum?💜

Who knew about this small but mighty museum?

This Bible Museum is at the Hampton Inn in Goodyear, Arizona. I heard about it and had to see for myself!

Some treasures here! I could not share all the details, and I’m finding that with all my Bible museum videos there is just more I’d love to share than what fits a reel. So I started a You**Tube channel and I’ll be sharing some longer videos there, including the upcoming video of this museum.

Would love to know if you have heard of this museum!💜
