Four Years Later
Four years ago, when I printed the first batch of Dwell Journals, I ordered 600. It seemed like an impossibly high number, but I believed that if I could encourage just a handful of women to dwell daily on the Word of God, it would be worth it.
It took me three years to sell all of those journals, but by the grace of God, I did it, and this spring, I ordered 500 more. Four different covers this time, with a fresh new layout on the inside designed to make it even easier for women to focus their hearts and minds on Scripture.
And y'all, I'm beginning to think that I don't have enough to make it through the holiday season.
You're looking at what's left of my inventory after I packed for Handworks. Those two baskets on the bottom left hold my remaining stock of adult Dwell Journals. With the exception of a few more pink journals that I haven't packaged yet, this is it.
I know that for some brands, 500 prayer journals would be nothing, but for me, it's a really big deal. I'm overwhelmed and so very grateful for your support this year. Thank you!
I'm also in awe of all that God has done. He's so, so good. Not just because he's growing this little business, but because he's using it to draw people closer to him, and I get to be a part of it.
I'm working on new journals for 2020. They'll release to our retail stores in January and in the online shop a couple of weeks after that, but if you've been eyeing one of this year's covers, you better hop to it and get it before it's gone. After Handworks, I have three more events, and I'm thinking that some of these covers will be sold out sooner rather than later.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting Muscadine Press. More than anything, I'm grateful for the opportunity to encourage you in your walk with the Lord. Thank you for inviting me in and letting me be a part of your life in this way. It means the world to me. And I'm not just saying that.

Everyone Needs a Hype Squad
Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.
But Dust
We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.
No Time to Waste
What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
