Welcome to
GATHERED we GROW
Hey, we’re so glad you’re here! I’m Courtney — homeschooling mama to five, pastor’s wife, and firm believer that the table is the heartbeat of the home. It’s where meals are shared, hearts are heard, and faith takes root in the everyday moments.
Around our table, there’s laughter, messes, prayer, and the kind of conversations that shape souls. And this little corner of the internet is our way of inviting you in—to help your family slow down, gather close, and grow in grace together.

The Gathered We Grow Branch Journal was designed specially with the kids in mind. This simple, small saddle-stitched journal is the perfect introduction to journaling for children of all ages. In the younger years, little kids can scribble pictures on the dotted pages or practice writing numbers in the blank calendar spreads during family gathering times. Older children may want to use the journal to make their own notes about their spiritual or personal growth during the month to bring to the table to share. But parents, too, may want to grab a Branch Journal to take more personal notes throughout the month. At any age, this is the perfect companion to the Gathered We Grow Family Journal.
Features:
Kraft paper cover
Saddle-stitched binding
80 pages
12 month undated calendar spreads
Monthly Gratitude Prompt

| OUR VISION |
We created the GWG Family Journal to encourage families to regularly gather together and grow in the Lord. We picture families sitting around their dining room tables, opening the pages and creating deep conversation as they cultivate discipleship. It started with our family but our vision has grown as we have seen the fruit from these gatherings. Our prayer is that the prompts in this journal would serve as a beautiful, timeless guide to encourage your family to gather together, too. And as you do, you will record the growth, memories, mountains and valleys, writing down your family story - a legacy to be remembered for generations to come.
Psalm 128

Some sweet words.
From families like yours.
“When a family looks at problems together and sets goals as a team—excitement and unity grow tremendously. This journal WORKS AND MAKES IT EASY! ”
“After trying many devotionals over the years with our kids, this journal brought authentic conversation to our family. No matter the age, it created a sense that we are all on this journey of sanctification together and encouraging each other along the way. I really cannot say enough wonderful things – I love the look, the fonts, the freedom of how it is laid out. It is such a blessing. Every family needs your journal on their coffee table.
