My name is Cathie and I’m from Sydney,
Australia. I came across #scripturedoodle through Instagram. I truly feel that
God led me to it!
Like so many people, I sometimes struggle to
read and remember what I’ve read in the Bible. I worked as a high school art
teacher before becoming a Mum to my two boys. I gave #scripturedoodling a go
and have really found it such a great way for me (a visual and kinaesthetic
learner) to engage with scripture and remember themes and verses.
I recently contacted April to chat about
holding a #scripturedoodle workshop on our church camp. I’ve just returned from
camp where we had about 25 ladies from 16 to 60s come along, mull over the word
and #scripturedoodle-up-a-storm.
Some people knew exactly what they wanted to
draw and for others, we read passages and discussed with each other our ideas
before getting started – which was a really great process in itself. All the
ladies were enthusiastic about the whole workshop and were really encouraged by
the diversity of peoples’ different styles and interpretations.

Since our #scripturedoodle workshop I know
that a few one-to-one Bible reading pairs at church (part of our womens’
ministry initiative) are planning to use #scripturedoodle in their meetings –
I’ve started doing it in my pair, and we have been finding it such a
refreshing, fun and challenging way to read the Bible.
I
am just so excited to keep drawing from the Word and so thankful to God for
being able to share in #scripturedoodle.
So blessed to have Cathie sharing the vision! Follow her on instagram @teawillowtree.
