A Joyful Heart Studio
Welcome to Joyful HeArt Studio! I can't tell you the joy and the excitement I feel right now. And I want you to know if you've just stopped by, if you have been a part of Joyful HeArt Bible Journaling classes before, or you are completely new to the idea...you have just dropped smack dab into the middle of my dream. A dream I believe God has sent to me, but not to me only.
You see, I am one of three sisters(yay) and family is everything to us. We were born and raised on a small cotton farm in West Texas. It was a happy life and a happy place to grow up.
These days, we love spending time together journaling, reminiscing, painting, junking, or bouncing on mountain trails. Time together is hard to make happen however, because we live in three different states... Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. The more time we've spent together in our empty nest years, we've come to realize we all shared in the same dream. One of our favorite times together is Bible journaling.
After the recent confinement for us all due to the pandemic, we felt a more than gentle whisper from God that this is the time.
We want, in spite of the distance between us, to be a blessing to those God brings to Joyful HeArt , to share our ideas, to encourage and spread a little sunshine with it. No, not a little but a lot of sunshine, love and sisterhood.
There is so so much more I can't wait to share with you about Joyful HeArt but we will be doing more of that from week to week.
If you are a praying kind of gal, then ask the One who desires good things for you, if He would have you to join in the dream He has given us! We are looking for Him to lead in all we do.
"You make known to me the path of life; you fill me with joy in your presence"
Psalm 16:11
Joy
I am a new comer to The Joyful HeArt Bible journaling class. I started this summer and found my home! Joy does a beautiful job of walking us through step by step of the drawing and painting project of the day, (which is ALWAYS so fun and beautiful!) and each lesson also always has a wonderful blessing to apply to our hearts as well. I am doing my projects in a journal I got because I couldn’t decide on a journaling Bible, and I am enjoying that too! I love the bonus lessons, but also the access I received to go back and do past projects by watching the videos! I really enjoy being a part of the live lessons, but if I can’t make it, the video is always available for me to do it when I have time. I would encourage you to sign up and begin making beautiful art from YOUR heart!! Renee S.
"I joined Bible journaling after Joy started teaching it online, and I love it! Every Monday afternoon, I know I"m going to be inspired by Joy and by a Bible verse she has illustrated. I like the fact that I can complete the project in an hour."
"I love that the Bible journaling class is another way to spend time in God's Word. Joy's "whimsical" or "perfectly imperfect" style, as she calls it, is so much fun! I have always wanted to try and be more creative and this has been the perfect opportunity for me to do that."
