I’m really glad to welcome @Audra Lewis into Cornerstone. This space is built around simple, creative time in Scripture—one page at a time, without pressure to do it perfectly. I loved seeing your hope that this could feel fun again, because that’s very much the heart behind what we’re building here together. And thanks to Audra joining us, we just unlocked our third community download 🎁 I tucked it below for everyone to grab and use if you’d like. Read. Reflect. Create. 💙

Welcome @Bernadene Oosthuizen 🤍 I’m really glad you’re here. There’s always a current theme you can step into if you’d like a gentle place to begin… something to follow along with without having to figure everything out first. You’re also free to wander and pick whatever draws you in. There’s no pressure to do it a certain way here. Your arrival opened our first little unlock ✨ I’ve tucked a new washi tape sheet in here for you to use. It isn’t part of any of the current kits, but it coordinates with our Lydia study (Acts 16) if you’d like to follow along with us. I hope this can be a space that feels light, simple, and easy to return to whenever you need it.

I left it like the picture on the left at dinner, and my daughter snuck away during dessert to get all my stickers out. When I asked her what she was doing, she said, “stickers. Mom the stickers are really hard. Why can’t I draw on them?” so I explained why stickers and markers don’t get along. I almost picked it all up and made her go back to her table, but it’s so sweet to see her, trying to be like me. She sat there and colored with my pink Bible journaling highlighter peeling a whole page of little dot stickers until bedtime.It makes it’s so clear that spending time with God is so very important. I want her to see and to learn to love the process of drawing close to him.

I’ll go first 🙂 I’m a mom of four, and life here is usually a mix of kids, coffee, and trying to keep something creative going in the middle of it all. I’ve spent a lot of years making things—sewing, designing, building little systems that help life feel a bit more ordered and meaningful. Lately that’s been turning back toward my faith and finding simple ways to make space for it again in the middle of everyday life. I’m not doing this perfectly, and I don’t have a polished setup—I’m literally using glue sticks and whatever I have on hand most days. But I do show up, and that’s enough. Your turn: What’s your name, and where are you right now in your Bible or journaling?
