Hey Reader,

Are you as excited for Resurrection Sunday as I am?

There’s something so beautiful about intentionally preparing our hearts instead of just arriving at Easter morning. I don’t want to rush to the celebration without first walking slowly with Jesus toward the cross.

That’s why I’m using the Resurrection Bible Reading Plan (password: gracefilled) this season. If you’d like to see the journaling devotionals I’m sharing, you can follow along over in Jesus Journaling.

I thought it might bless both of us to take this journey together in a simple, meaningful way.

Each week here in the newsletter, I’ll share:
• A short reflection
• One creative element to include in your Scripture writing
• A gentle way to prepare your heart

Let’s begin.

🌿 Week 1: Abide in Him

John 15:4 (NKJV)​
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”

As we anticipate Resurrection Sunday, let’s consider how we can abide in Jesus more intentionally each day.

In this verse, Jesus wasn’t offering a suggestion — He was revealing the secret to a fruitful life.

• A branch doesn’t strain to produce grapes.
• It doesn’t panic.
• It doesn’t force growth.

It simply stays connected to the vine.

And that’s the invitation for us.

We don’t manufacture spiritual fruit through sheer effort or determination. We remain in Him — through prayer, through His Word, through surrender in the ordinary moments of our day.

Abiding is less about striving… and more about dwelling.

As we prepare for Easter, let’s not focus only on what we are doing for Jesus.

Let’s focus on staying with Him.

When we stay close, His life flows through us. His peace steadies us. His love reshapes us.

And that’s the kind of heart that will be ready to worship on Resurrection Sunday.

✝️ Creative Element for This Week

The cross is central to our redemption.

This week, as you copy your verses, practice drawing a simple cross alongside your Scripture writing.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate.

You might:
• Sketch a simple wooden cross
• Add a few small flowers at the base
• Drape a purple robe across it
• Or keep it beautifully simple

If you feel brave, add soft shading or a subtle background wash of color.

If not — just draw the cross.

Sometimes simplicity speaks the loudest.

Here is a FREE download with crosses to practice drawing.

Let’s journey to the cross together — slowly, intentionally, and with hearts ready to abide.

Love and grace,
Judith 💛
