My Reflections:
As a child I loved to color, as a mom I love to color along side my wee children. Now as a mom of older children who don't really color any longer unless it is for a school project I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to review this new book.
Not only is it a coloring book but it is so much more. It incorporates scripture verses! This is the first book I have seen like this, such a fabulous and unique outlet for creativity.
I so enjoyed reading the many verses in this book. I found as I let them soak in I would pray and ask God to show me more of what he wants me to learn, and how he wants me to grow in 2016. It is amazing what a little time with God can do to transform your day, so uplifting and life changing.
I love how every coloring page has a space on the opposite side to write notes. I am going to fill this book with my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, scriptures that God places on my heart. I am a color inside the lines kinda girl but you could be as creative as you want, after all you are an adult now and no one is going to be grading you!
My women's group just recently held a fun little exercise time where we were to write down our prayers for 2016 the very same day this came in the mail, coincidence I think not!
I will be using this little coloring book as my prayer journal and as a creative way to grow closer to God through prayer and expressing myself through art.
If you are looking for a new and fresh idea to start your prayer life off this year, this may be a fun addition to your morning bible study, and guess what my 2 girls want to join me. I love it!
I received this coloring book free of charge in return for my honest review from Graf-Martin Communications. Thank you Graf-Martin!
