As soon as I saw the new Creative Faith Cutable “Breakfast With Jesus<\/a>“, I put it in my Etsy cart and bought it!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The bright colors and the retro theme were fun, but it was the title that intrigued me.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Breakfast is my favorite meal…I could have breakfast food any time of the day!<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I printed it, and read the devotion, I began to think about what would breakfast with Jesus look like?\u00a0 W<\/span>hat would I do?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Would I be listening? Or would words be pouring out of my mouth?\u00a0 W<\/span>ould I even be too nervous to eat?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I even imagined that I might not be able to say anything at all, but instead just marvel at His presence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, I began to read.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The disciples were just ordinary men and yet, they were having breakfast with their Risen Lord!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>From what I read, they were sitting and having a meal prepared by Jesus Himself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They were eating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They were talking.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They were listening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They asked questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Jesus gave them instructions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They pondered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>They spent intimate, quality time having a meal and conversing with their Lord…their friend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Aren’t some of the best conversations over a meal?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because I live alone and don’t work away from home, I am often by myself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I find myself talking with Jesus as I’m going about my day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>His Word swirls through my head.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Songs of worship play on repeat in my mind. I hear His voice whispering to my heart. I stay in pretty constant fellowship with Him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But, when I read the question that Creative Faith wrote, “how often do I pause and soak in deep conversations with Him?”, that caused me to stop and ponder.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>How often is my time with Jesus just a casual conversation?\u00a0 A<\/span>\u00a0bagel in hand and a prayer on the way out the door?\u00a0 A<\/span>\u00a0few minutes reading my verse of the day as I sit at desk before work?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hmmm. I have to go now…it’s time to pause…sit at the table, have deep conversation and “Breakfast With Jesus”!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For my traveler’s notebook, I used 4 pieces of card stock, folded in half, and stapled in the middle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>When closed, it measures 8 x 4.25.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Because I wanted to follow through with the “diner” theme that Creative Faith Co gave us in the cutables, I made a foldout “menu” section with the devotional and with the going deeper sections.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make the foldout parts, I trimmed each of the cutables to size and then used washi tape on the back to hold them together in an accordion style foldout. I also printed extras of the journal pages and washi strips, so I’d have plenty of room to take notes…on fun decorative pages of course.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let your creativity take over and have some fun as you make your devotional personally yours!<\/span><\/p>\n
