Leave a Legacy of Faith

Faith is a very personal topic and Leave a Legacy of Faith blog is intended to be a place where LDS scrappers can visit to support, encourage and inspire each other with challenges to get us scrapping. Comments on this blog should be respectful and positive. Thanks for your understanding.

On a recent scrapbook page, "If It Weren't For Change We Wouldn't Have Butterflies," I included in my journaling some of my personal testimony of my Savior, Jesus Christ and it got me thinking, that is what I want to leave my posterity, my testimony, a legacy of faith! It hit me, duh, that is why we are asked to keep journals. What is a scrapbook? A journal with pictures. I started searching the Internet for ideas on religious scrapbooking and one of my favorite finds was Patter Cross' blog Triple the Scraps where she posts Scripture Challenges. She focuses on one word each week and searches for verses with that word, then alters a card using them as inspiration. I just love the idea! Searching the scriptures for verses to use on scrapbook pages, what a great way to get me motivated! I decided I want to do something like this each week. I wanted to be sure to include my scrapbook buddies so I post on my blog each Sunday a different spiritual focus for a scrapbook page each week. Maybe a word or topic that I heard at church that got me thinking. Maybe a quote I find while planning my lessons. These will be powerful and meaningful pages for us as we create them, but, most importantly, for our children and grandchildren who will flip through these pages and, hopefully, the Spirit can witness to them what we wrote is true.
I hope some of you will join in on these challenges!
