I’ll admit it: I’ve never been someone who journals every day. However, every time I’ve journaled to reflect on my life, it has strengthened my relationship with God and helped me practice gratitude. That’s why I want to help Christians and curious seekers do the same—starting with noticing all the ways He shows up in your life. 

The Year of Thanksgiving Journal was born from a clear-as-a-bell calling in a crowded church pew: to give faith-driven people a modern-day “stone of remembrance.” This is more than a journal. It’s a family heirloom that a child may read decades later, perhaps even long after you’re gone. It’s a collection of verses that may steady someone through a period of loss. Each thoughtful prompt, detail, and Scripture is designed to support not just you, but also those who come after you. 

I’ve walked through seasons where nothing seemed to go as planned. In those times, I chose thankfulness over discouragement, not because it was easy, but because God has always been faithful. Learning to push through and give thanks even in times of darkness has taught me perseverance, trust, and the power of noticing God’s goodness. 

My vision for you is simple: to help you stay anchored in gratitude and remember that God’s blessings can always be found, even when they’re hard to see.
