Beginning Again

I’ve started journals before. Pages filled with hope, others heavy with heartache. But something about this beginning feels different.
This time, I’m not chasing perfection or waiting until everything feels “together.” I’m just showing up. With my coffee, my Bible, my pen, and a heart that’s learning to trust God in both the stillness and the stretching.
This space isn’t for polished answers. It’s where I want to reflect honestly, grow deeply, and keep my eyes on the One who never lets go.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fill our lives with noise…podcasts, plans, pressure. But when I quiet things down, I hear the gentle whisper of truth: Abide in Me. Not strive harder. Not prove yourself. Just abide.
So this is me, doing just that. Abiding. Trusting that God meets us in the pages, in the pauses, and in the process.
If you’re here too, new to journaling, unsure what to write, or just longing to connect more deeply with Christ, I’m so glad we’re doing this together.
Let’s keep coming back to the page. Not for the perfect words, but for the faithful God who’s writing a better story than we ever could.

With grace and gratitude,
Karen
