The Faith Story Behind the Art of Colorful Blessings
Since my faith is such an important and integrated part of my life, I made a journal expressing my faith. Here, is the story behind some of the faith-filled coloring pages in the Colorful Blessing coloring book.
Here is a blog post link see a flip through of my Faith journal:

We all believe in something, someone. In this journal, I write a statement of faith. On the coloring page is space for you to write yours. Here is a link to the post where I show a step-by-step process of making the "Believe" journal page:

The above coloring page is taken from my "Identity" journal. It was an online study done on Ephesians facilitated by Bernice Hopper. We listened to the insightful and practical sermons of Rob Davey from Jubilee Church Solihull.

We each have a story to tell, and our stories relate to one another. We all believe in something. In the Colorful Blessings coloring book, the pages give a glimpse into my story expressed through line. They are waiting to be colored, to connect with your story.
