My Story
I am a Jesus follower, a wife and a mom of 2.
I was blessed to be born into a family of Christian believers. My faith journey has been lifelong yet having different seasons. Some seasons I have been really close to God and other seasons, rather embarrassing to say, I have not been so close. Through all of this, God never once stopped pursuing me. In my life I have been exposed to various Christian denominations through churches and educational opportunities. From my experience in these different environments, the foundational message is the same: The way to becoming a Christian is accepting and believing Jesus Christ as God's one and only son. And to fully understand this you also have to understand that God love us. Looking back, I can see how God was pursuing me. I am no different from anyone else; in fact, this pursuit is happening to everyone. My faith began to really grow when I began pursuing God. I have been presented with opportunities to see him work in real life, opportunities to study and understand the Bible more than ever, and opportunities to share his word. During this season, I was introduced to the ' personalize-it method' of verse prayer and Bible study. My understanding of the Bible grew and my prayer life felt more intentional and meaningful.
​Over the past two decades, I've dedicated my career to working in education, focusing on children and teens with learning differences, despite having a college degree in business. I found joy in encouraging students to embrace challenges and celebrating their achievements along the way. I connect with those who struggle, as I faced my own challenges with reading and comprehension; school was not always easy for me. Throughout my life, I developed coping strategies such as making lists, taking notes and keeping calendars, which have become essential tools for my organization and focus.
After relocating in 2023 and facing a few months of unsuccessful job searches, I felt called to create Grace-filled Paper Co. in November 2024. My aim is to offer journals that inspire excitement for studying God's word, ensuring they are both high quality and affordable. Although I didn't invent the "personalize-it method," I wanted to share it because of the significant impact it has had on my spiritual journey.
I hope these journal fill you with excitement for studying God's word and build strength in your prayer life. But if​ you only take one thing away from using our journals, know that God is pursuing a relationship with each and every one of us, everyday. He is the same today as yesterday and his love and mercies are steadfast.

Be filled with grace,
