Bonita Rose | Using My June Grace Box In My Journal

HI everyone!

It's Bonita Rose here and today I'm sharing with you

how I'm using my Grace Box inside my writing journal.

I'm one of those people.. that loves journals, anyone else?

Sometimes, I just can't pass by a pretty journal,
even though I have a few empty ones already here at home.

Anyone else?

I digress.

On this day, I found myself praying this morning, and really sharing my heart

with God about the events here in my home state of Florida over this past weekend.

You see, I live only about 10 mins outside of Orlando.

Here, it really hits home.

I wanted to show you all how your Grace Box contents

don't just have to be used in your Bibles, or your faith journals.

They can be used in just simple writing journals too! 

Here, I used some of the stamps, the word stickers, a puffy 'Everyday' sticker,

and a journaling card from the June Grace Box.

Then I just shared my heart. 

My journaling reads: 

With the grace of God, I know we can all get through the hurt.

The pain. The injustice of so many lives lost.

Through it all - God Reigns.

Ever since all these people died over the weekend, 

my heart has been with the families. The ones left behind.

Comfort them Lord. 

Help them to live out loud for You.

To shine Your forgiveness.

One thing I know -- 

Your love surrounds me

And it's Your love that will surround these families left behind.

Help us all Jesus -- to love one another more. 

To be still and know - that it's living our lives as You did

that will change our world. 

Lord help us.

Shine bright in our lives.

Shine bright.

Gina Lideros - June Grace Box Tutorial

Hi everyone, it's Gina L. here today to share with you how I am using the June Grace Box kit!  This kit is perfect for fitting all of your bible journaling needs.



Today I would like to share with you step by step of how I used the June Grace Box kit to journal in the book of Esther. 

When I saw the cards included in the June kit, I immediately thought about Esther's dilemma and decision in chapter 4:13-16.  The survival of her family was in her hands.  Esther accepted the challenge and proved brave. Her final words in verse 16 are "...and if I perish, I perish."  She accepted her fate and many people hail Esther as a hero.

To start my pages, first I gathered my supplies.  Then I painted a light pink and mustard gold across my pages.

Once it was dry, I painted some orange across my pages.  I used the orange twist paint and Illustrated Faith paint it card to apply the paint.

Next, I chose some of my favorite stamps from the kit and stamped the X background stamp across my pages.  I chose to used the "blessed assurance" quote and stamped on the right side of my page in the journaling column.

Next, I used a paperclip to clip the "trust in the Lord" card on the left hand side of my page.  I added a few die cuts and a custom word sticker to my pages.

I used a tab punch to punch out two tabs from a journaling card included in the kit.  I loved the pattern so much that I just couldn't wait to use it. I added a tab to both of my pages and then finished up my pages by journaling and adding a few more stickers.

My journaling reads: "Go and gather all the jews and fast for me".
