There’s something about her story—quiet, steady, building something meaningful in the middle of ordinary life. If you’ve been wanting to come back to Scripture but didn’t know where to start… this is a gentle place to begin. No pressure. No perfection.Just Acts 16, some paper, and a few quiet moments when you can find them. I’ll be journaling through it this week too. If you join in, tell me—what’s the first thing that stood out to you?

As May approaches, I’ve been feeling drawn to spend some time with a few different women in Scripture—Lydia, Miriam, Priscilla, and maybe Deborah along the way. I’m starting with Lydia—the seller of purple cloth, a woman whose heart was opened, and whose home became a place of welcome. I’ve started creating some pages around her story, and I wanted to share a few of them here as the beginning of that process. I’ll move through Lydia first and then into the others as the month unfolds. If you’d like to join in at any point—whether you’re journaling, reading, or just quietly following along—you’re so welcome 💛 No pressure, no perfection. Just showing up.

We have two always-open rooms here at Cornerstone Bible Journaling and we want you to use them! The Quiet Room — silent journaling, study, and written prayer requests. Drop in, no need to speak, just show up and journal alongside your people. The Upper Room — live community, spoken prayer, and open conversation. Come ready to connect and share. When you're jumping into a room, drop a comment here letting everyone know which room you're heading into and what you're working on. That's it — you just turned on the lights. 💡 Everyone with notifications on will see you and can come join you. To turn on notifications: hit the bell icon at the top of this post. Come join us. 🕯️
