Journaling, Faith, and Purpose: The Birth of Eternal Grace Journals

My love of writing goes back as far as I can remember. As a child, I wrote poetry—many poems about snowflakes, lions, tigers, and bears… oh my! (laugh out loud).

But seriously, writing has always been a passion.

As a teenager, I wrote about my crushes, my friends, and my daily life. I didn’t see it then, but it was my way of expressing myself and relieving stress. As I grew older, I wrote less and less. The funny thing was—I never stopped buying notebooks.

I have plenty of notebooks where I started writing but stopped just a couple of months in. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to write, I just didn’t make the time. Looking back, I realize those were the dark seasons of my life.

I have no written record of what I was going through. I can’t look back and say, “Wow, I got through that,” or “She did what?” or “Look how much I’ve grown.” That saddens me—to know I turned away from a passion that had always helped me navigate life.

Now, in my adult years, writing has become essential. I take sermon notes, write daily reflections, and even pen prayers and letters to God. Writing has been vital to my relationship with Him. I write prayers, visions, desires, and scriptures to memorize.

Over the last two years, I’ve filled multiple notebooks.

I usually found them at Burlington—I loved the variety, especially the encouraging sayings and inspiring scriptures on the covers. But in early 2025, I noticed something: the notebooks just weren’t notebooking.

There’s a certain size I love, and depending on the purpose, the binding mattered too. If it was for my purse, I needed something smaller. But what was available just wasn’t cutting it. And don’t even get me started on the hunt for the right one on Amazon!

After weeks of searching, I finally stopped at Walmart and came across a simple black notebook with big gold letters that read:

“God, Goals, Growing & Glowing.”

I was in love.

After years of writing in notebooks covered with inspiring sayings, I realized—any of those phrases could be on the front of a notebook. That’s when it clicked.

I decided to start designing my own. And at that point, Eternal Grace Journals was born.

I wanted to inspire others to write and provide encouraging, faith-filled notebooks that make people excited to put pen to paper.

As my passion for writing grows, so do my ideas for Eternal Grace Journals.
