Jamee Thieme- Faith Journaling

James Thieme joined us

 at the North Carolina Visual Faith event-

 at St.Paul's Lutheran Church- 

Havelock, NC

on Saturday March 11, 2017.

During a break time 
she shared her faith journaling

 that she does for slowing down to pay attention.

+in worship

+in prayer

+reflection time

She uses a SMASH Journal 

that you can get at any craft store-

 Michael's, Hobby Lobby.
Smash Folio

She prints off a template for her sermon notes

 from the blog of Melinda Ransdell- 
Unconditionally Steadfast
All sorts of Visual Faith helps are found here:
Sermon notes and printables

She takes notes during worship and

that helps deal with distractions.

You can customize a faith journal

  to include your prayers,

and add visuals that make connections.

It can be part of what you are 

reading and studying in Scripture.

Here for Advent are the O Antiphons.

A way to REFLECT and RESPOND

 to a worship sermon-

right into the next week.

And that probably helps us to REMEMBER-

 so that we can find ways to REACH 

that Good News right into the lives 

of our family, friends and neighbors.

A Journey of Faith- 

right now.

Part of a personal IEP plan.

Yes- An Individual Education plan

 for spiritual formation.

A separate plan for each

 and every one of us.

The work of the Holy Spirit

 in the process of sanctification

by grace for each and every believer.

We give thanks to Jamee 

for sharing her lovely journal.

She attends Resurrection Lutheran Church

 in Cary, NC.
