I am scrapbooking the bible. I've wanted to do this for years and have finally wrapped my head around it. I started the Women of Faith study bible one month ago and have the first several layouts started. I will share my ideas along the way :) Blessings.
The Book of Beginnings…
Genesis tells of the beginning of time and of the creation of the human race, but, more important, it tells of the beginning of God’s love relationship with men and women. From Adam to Joseph, the men who begin the line of the Hebrew race have alongside them women who, though imperfect, are strong and godly.
We grieve with Eve when the sibling rivalry between her two sons escalates into murder (Ge 4:8-12). We empathize with Noah’s wife as she endures the confinement of the ark (Ge 21:1-7). We share Rebekah’s joy in the love of her husband and her fulfillment in her ability to comfort him in his grief (Ge 24:66-68). And we feel Rachel’s pain when she must obey her father and see her older sister married to the man she loves (Ge 29:22-27).
Through the matriarchs of the book of Genesis, God reveals again and again his power to work out His plan in spite of us. The story of the women of Genesis is our story. From infertility to the pain of childbirth, from jealousy to the security of knowing one is loved, from manipulation to surrender-the lives of these women unveil in one amazing sequence after another God’s redeeming love for them…and for us.
The book of Genesis is generally thought to be written by Moses, probably written during the 1400’s B.C., at the time of Israel’s wandering in the desert and set in Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…”
{Create}
“To cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes.”
I praise the Lord who created me and allows me to grow, learn, and live in the joy & discovery of this world.
The Lord has blessed me with an ability to create of my own.
