Journey From the Ashes - Journal

Embark on a transformative year-long journey with Journey from the Ashes: Journal, a companion to the Journey from the Ashes: Devotional. This beautifully designed journal invites you to step into the truth of God’s love and discover how He sees you—enough, loved, forgiven, wanted, found, repurposed, free, worthy, protected, redeemed, grateful, and beloved.

Through monthly themes and daily insights, this Christian journal for women provides a sacred space to reflect on your thoughts, intentions, prayers, and personal growth. Each month focuses on a unique theme, guiding you to explore how God’s truth is revealed in your life. From “Enough” in January to “Beloved” in December, you’ll uncover the depth of His love and grace in every season.

At the end of each month, you’ll be encouraged to release what no longer serves you—tearing out pages as a symbolic act of freedom—and write a new declaration rooted in God’s truth. With prompts for reflection, scripture exploration, and prayer, this Christian based journal helps you deepen your faith, embrace healing, and move forward with renewed purpose.

Highlights include:
Daily Notes: Space to record your thoughts, prayers, and reflections as you walk through each day.
Monthly Reflections: Thought-provoking questions to help you process how the theme of the month has shown up in your life and what God has revealed to you.
Monthly Releases: A powerful exercise to let go of lies, fears, or burdens, symbolizing freedom and renewal.
Scripture and Prayer Prompts: Opportunities to connect with God’s Word and align your heart with His truth.
Final Reflection: A chance to look back on your journey, celebrate your growth, and envision where God is leading you next.

This journal is a safe place to be honest—with yourself and with God—about what you’re learning, feeling, releasing, and receiving. Erica’s heartfelt guidance inspires you to find hope, grow in faith, and live in the joy of God’s unconditional love.
Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection with God, Journey from the Ashes: Journal is your companion for a year of transformation. By the end of this journey, you’ll look back in awe and say, “Wow… look at what God did!”

Take the first step today and discover the beauty of God’s love and grace in your life. You are enough. You are loved. You are His.
