My Rating
Are you looking for a journal that helps you spend time with God? Want something bright and fun to write in? Having a hard time dedicating time to writing you thoughts? This is the journal for you then!

A Standard of Grace is a beautifully designed journal. It's a beautiful white journal with bright colors and gold foil. It includes three satin bookmarks as well. The font is amazing, the colors are easy on the eyes and the photographs included make it personal and exciting.

The overall layout and design of this journal is fun and easy. It's broken into 52 weeks which means its a yearly journal. Each week has two prompts with space to write. I love that it only gives two prompts because it doesn't make it a hard task to do within a week. Each week begins with a focal topic and a corresponding scripture. Then there is sort of a "devotional" wit about two paragraphs. The questions correlate with the topic, verse and devotional. There are also quotes as well.

I truly enjoy this journal. The paper quality is amazing. It works well with all types of pens and highlighters.

Definitely recommend for personal use and as a gift.

Blessings,

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene...

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;...
