Before Bible journaling ever entered my life, writing had already been a part of me for years. I have been a journaler since I was about nine years old. Writing in notebooks, on loose paper, in diaries with little locks—I always found comfort in putting words on a page. It helped me think. It helped me breathe. It helped me grow.
But my faith journaling journey—the path that eventually led to this blog—started much later.
In November 2018, I was walking through Michael’s when I came across a Christian planner by Happy Planner. It had space for sermon notes, reflections, and faith-focused pages. I picked it up out of curiosity, but something in me felt drawn to it. Then I saw the stickers, the washi tape, and all the colorful pens. It felt like a new world had opened up.
Creative planning was different, but it matched what I had already loved for years: writing things down and making sense of life through words. Bible journaling grew naturally from that. The more I wrote, the more I listened. The more I reflected, the more I noticed God’s presence in the everyday moments of my life.
As I kept going, one verse began shaping the foundation of this journey:
“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.” (Colossians 2:7, NLT)

Those words became a steady reminder that growth is not sudden and does not have to be dramatic. Growth is rooted. Growth is steady. Growth is daily. And growth happens when I stay grounded in Christ.
This blog is simply a place to honor that process. A place where the girl who loved journaling at nine meets the woman who is learning how to build her life on Him now. A space for reflection, small steps, lessons, and grace—always grace.
I am grateful for every moment that brought me here. And I pray that as I write, my roots will continue to grow deeper, and my life will continue to be built on Him.
