Scripture & Sketches
One of my greatest joys is connecting with scripture through art. Bible journaling allows me to slow down, reflect deeply, and respond creatively to God’s Word. With each mark, I feel His presence and promises come alive in a personal and powerful way. One day, I hope to hand this Bible down to my children, filled with the colors of my faith, so they can see the love drawn on every page.
