Bible Journaling and Lectio Divina, here's a marriage made in heaven. Bible Journaling are notes on the scripture you've read and/or thoughts that apply to you at that time. Lectio Divina is praying with the scriptures.
Here's what I envision:
Lectio--read the scripture
Study--google, read the footnotes, refer to a commentary, to understand the scripture you read. Write notes or draw a picture, or put a stamp or sticker--something to explain and help you remember.
Meditate-- Now with what you understand think how this scripture applies to you.
Oratio--Talk to God about it. Elaborate on your picture(s) and/or notes, if God leads you to more understanding
Contemplatio--Rest in the prayer. Do you get what the scripture is saying to you? Think into it.
Resolutio--What are you going to do about it?
