This week’s creative resources have been all about Artist’s Journals and Art Journaling! Hopefully you’ve found some creative inspiration.

Keeping in line with Facebook Friday, I wanted to share a couple of Facebook groups specific to the week’s topic of art journaling. So if the week has inspired you, perhaps you should join to connect with others who art journal to keep you motivated? 

Bible Art Journaling Challenge is a group that’s connected to a blog doing a 2015 challenge. Here’s the info:

Join the weekly, 2015 Bible Art Journaling Challenge! For details see http://www.rebekahrjones.com/bible-art-journaling-challenge/

Artist’s Journal Workshop group description reads:

This is a group for anyone who keeps an artist’s journal, or wants to. For our purposes an artist’s journal is a record of occurrences, experiences, or observations using art as the primary medium.

There are many more art journal groups on Facebook:

• Art Journal Junkies
• Art Journaling
• A Stand for Art Journaling
• Art Journaling

Well that’s more groups than you can shake a stick at! Have fun exploring! Happy networking & happy journaling!

Blessings of ARTistry, CREATivity & BEaUty, Jody

What is Create-A-Day? Just as One-A-Day® Vitamins help restore the nutrients we deplete in our bodies, so too do we need to refill, replenish and renew our creative souls. In 2015, watch for daily* posts to undergird your ministry; lead you to resources to nurture the creative spirit within; and draw you more deeply into your worship of Jesus Christ. My goal is to provide you, the creative Christian, with over 250* resources to help you develop your ARTistry, CREATivity & capacity for BEaUty. Books, worship arts ministries, video series, websites, conferences—all geared towards artists, creatives, worshipers and people serving in worship and creative arts ministries. So, visit my blog every day* to see what creative resource I’ve hunted down for you. You can stay connected by following me on Twitter or Facebook. Or better yet, sign up to receive email updates by clicking the button to the left. We’ll watch the resources pile up as the year unfolds!

* I am a proponent of family time and Sabbath rest so don’t look for posts on weekends or Holidays.

Jody Thomae is the author of God’s Creative Gift—Unleashing the Artist in You, a devotional book with Bible studies to nurture the creative spirit within and to serve as a resource for creative Christians, artists, musicians and worshippers. She has been involved in worship arts ministry since 1997, coordinating artistic involvement in church services and regional worship events through dance, drama, poetry and fine arts and has had the opportunity to perform, teach, choreograph, preach, coordinate and lead workshops in the area of creativity, spirituality and embodied prayer. She has also recently released a devotional CD, Song of the Beloved.

Her passion is for the revelation of God to be made more real through the prophetic use of the arts in church and formational ministry. It is her desire to portray the message of Christ’s desperate and unfailing love for His people to help sustain the hearts of the broken and weary. Life scriptures include Psalm 27; Isaiah 50:4-7; and Zephaniah 3:14-17.
