Hi friends!
Are you looking to deepen your relationship with God this summer? If so, Bible journaling is a beautiful way to spend intentional time in the Word while also expressing your creativity—and I’ve got some amazing tools to share with you!
In this post, I’m walking you through all of my summer stationery must-haves for Bible journaling. From highlighters to sticky notes and pens, everything I use is from Mr. Pen, a faith-based brand I absolutely love. Their products are not only beautiful and affordable, but they’re also designed specifically for Bible pages—meaning no bleed-through!
✨ My Summer Stationery Must-Haves
Here’s a look at my favorite tools that help bring my Bible journaling to life:
1. Mr. Pen Chisel Tip Highlighters
These are my go-to Bible highlighters. The colors are smooth, vibrant, and pastel-perfect for summer. Best of all—they don’t bleed through your Bible pages. That’s a game changer for anyone who wants to highlight Scripture cleanly and beautifully.
2. Bible Journaling Kit (Pens & Gel Highlighters)
This kit includes both gel highlighters and smooth-writing pens. If you’re new to Bible journaling, this is a perfect starting point. The gel highlighters are foolproof—no smudging or bleeding—and ideal for younger users or beginners. The colors are soft and aesthetic, giving your journaling a peaceful summer vibe.
3. Transparent Sticky Notes + Fine Line Pen
These sticky notes are incredible for jotting down thoughts, verses, or prayers in your margins without writing directly on the page. Paired with the included pen that’s specially made to prevent bleeding, you can reflect and write freely.
4. Bible Reading Tracker
Want to read more Scripture this summer? The Mr. Pen Bible tracker is a fun and motivating way to keep up with your reading. I love highlighting each book I complete—it’s both visually satisfying and spiritually rewarding.
5. Teal Stationery Pouch
To top it all off, I picked up the cutest teal pouch to keep everything organized. It’s roomy, well-designed, and perfect to take with you to church, Bible study, or even on the go while traveling. The compartments keep your pens and tools secure and easy to access.
🖊️ Let’s Bible Journal Together!
Bible journaling is about more than just cute pages—it’s about spending time with the Lord and reflecting on His Word. Let me show you how I use my Mr. Pen essentials during my quiet time.
Scripture Focus: Romans 8
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...” — Romans 8:1
As I read through Romans 8, I highlighted the verses that stood out to me using my pastel chisel-tip highlighters. Then, I underlined keywords with my pen to help focus my journaling. On a transparent sticky note, I wrote:
"There is no condemnation because Christ has set us free."
Another note I added in blue:
"Christ has forgiven us and gave us freedom."
I love using different fonts, drawing little boxes, and layering colors to help bring the message to life. One fun trick I use is writing in all caps with a highlighter, then layering cursive writing over it with a fine line pen—it looks so aesthetic and makes your notes pop!
You can use this technique however it best fits your style. Keep it simple or go full creative—it’s all about expressing your time with God in a meaningful way.
📖 Join the Challenge
This summer, let’s grow in our faith together. Use the Mr. Pen Bible tracker to challenge yourself to read one chapter from every book of the Bible. It’s a powerful way to stay grounded in the Word and treasure Scripture in your heart.
Let’s Bible journal together this summer. Let’s grow deeper in God’s Word, reflect His truth creatively, and encourage one another along the way. Remember, Bible journaling isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about you and Jesus.
Happy journaling, friends!
