He’s carried me through so much lately… what I celebrated most though were my two pregnancies. Both were high risk, complicated, and followed more than a few losses. Both my babies came early, but we manage to stay out of nicu and both are thriving. I thank God for them every day.

I caught my stepdaughter journaling in a Disney princess journal today — writing about the princess on the page she was on. She's 11. She's autistic. And she was doing exactly what I do. Finding something beautiful and using it to work out what she's thinking. I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I'm making her something. Little fold-over booklets I can staple at home — a Bible verse, something beautiful to color, a place to write in. A new one every time she comes home from her moms. Themes she loves. Verses about who she is, how to be gentle, how to be brave, how to be kind to herself and other people. Not a curriculum. Not a workbook. Just something beautiful that belongs to her. It’s a low pressure way to share the word with her and make it routine and prevalent in her life— and I think there are a lot of girls out there who need something exactly like this. Something that meets them where their imagination already lives. Do you have a tween or preteen in your life who journals, draws, or just loves beautiful things? Tell me about her. I'm building this with girls like her in mind.

I’m really glad to welcome @Audra Lewis into Cornerstone. This space is built around simple, creative time in Scripture—one page at a time, without pressure to do it perfectly. I loved seeing your hope that this could feel fun again, because that’s very much the heart behind what we’re building here together. And thanks to Audra joining us, we just unlocked our third community download 🎁 I tucked it below for everyone to grab and use if you’d like. Read. Reflect. Create. 💙

Hey @Natalie White You just triggered Unlock #2! A new Lydia sticker sheet is attached below! These unlocks aren’t part of the original kit—they’re extra pieces I’m pulling in as we go, tied to whatever we’re studying right now. So while we’re in Acts 16, everything unlocking is building onto Lydia’s story. The more people who come in, the more the set expands. You can find this one (and the others) on the welcome posts—just jump in, grab what you want, and leave a comment when you do so I know you found it 👀 If you want a place to start, Acts 16 is where we are. Lydia’s story is short, but there’s a lot in it. I’m really glad you’re here 🤍

The big one for me was that I couldn’t bring myself to buy an expensive journaling Bible because I knew I’d be too afraid to start in case I messed it up. This is why I ended up making printable pages and using the discs leftover from last years Happy Planner.
