Amanda gave me a wonderful new Christian Planner for 2022. This is the third one I have used in a row and I am just now getting used to how to make it mine and very personalized.. I love working with it. I dedicated today to get it up and running.!! One of the things the Christian Planner company does is offer a word generator if you decide to have a Word of the Year. Mine is Devotion which I feel is so much from God's own heart. All last year I was inundated with issues I just didn't feel like I could concentrate on spending time in His Word or even a devotional. I think He missed me!! So I am delighted to be catching up with Him through my devotion and my commitment to start each day with Him and His Word!!! I owe Him so much.. His tender mercies were new each morning for me this past year. I can't wait to spend this quality time with HIM!
I have had turquoise, purple and now this beautiful blue... and the cover is great, but it is the inside that I love so much...
Each week you have a couple of pages for sermon notes, or if you didn't take any, you can use it to highlight your devotions as in the photo above. I love how you allow the spirit to flow through you artistically to create a beautiful page to demonstrate your understanding and your emotional input from the devotion! This is my favorite part of the journal.. Creative juices just flow!
One of the very first pages in the journal is this vision board. I will spend the rest of the afternoon working on mine. I wish I was as nifty in calligraphy. Mine stinks.. but my writing can look at least a bit like me if I try! Here I like to add my favorite verses. printed from online and stanzas from favorite hymns, etc. I like to leave room to add thoughts through the year!
This is my vision board from last year:
Take a look here for more info..plus, of course, the planner lets you focus on the year, the month, the week, and, of course, day by day with plenty of room to write detailed bullets for each day.. Some times I get behind and just use the unused space to get creative again to decorate the page according to the goodness of God for that week. That helps me more than the actual planning many weeks!!!
If you are one who takes copious notes at church or during on-line teachings and you think you might enjoy keeping an annual planner, I highly recommend this one.
