Hi I’m Gem
I am a busy Christain wife & mama. I have been married for the last 15 years to my best friend. We have four wonderfully individual children together, 15, 13, and 3 (x2).
We have lived in two different countries, traveled halfway around the world with our children, and back again. Experiencing some unique cultures, languages, and people.
I found God along the way too. It’s now my mission to share that journey with you and help you in your journey with God, your family, and your kitchen too.
By giving you the tools and resources to help you grow closer to the Lord, understand your family more, and develop your skills in the kitchen.
Each of us has a god-given gift or talent that he created us with for His purpose.
And if this is your first time visiting Mama & The Word, put a heart in the comment box below so I can officially welcome you to the community.

Christian Journaling Prompts
Journal prompts are a great starting point for focusing your mind on a specific question for your daily journal.
For our wedding anniversary this year, my husband bought me a beautiful bible from Hosanna Revival. They have beautifully designed fabric covers as well as leather-bound bibles too.
They also have a large print option and their standard print size. But what I love most about it is that it has wide margins for bible journaling and note-taking.
My copy is an English Standard Version (ESV). This is my favorite journaling bible
Whilst I love my bible, I also enjoy using the youversion bible app. It is great for looking up specific bible verses and also has reading plans and other great features too.

Why I Enjoy Journaling As A Busy Christian Mama
Daily journaling is helping not only with my spiritual journey but also with my personal self-care journey. It has now become a part of my daily routine and I find it calming and good for stress relief.
Journaling helps me with my spiritual discipline of reading my bible, studying the Word, praying, and understanding how I should be applying the bible to my daily life as a wife and mother.
By studying bible verses and scripture I am better able to understand god’s character and god’s goodness so that I can display this in my own character.
It can take me from a bad mood to a good mood in as little as five minutes just by reflecting on what I have read that day or by seeing a prayer answered or feeling God’s presence in difficult situations.
What Christian Journaling Prompts Has Taught Me As A Busy Mama
A spiritual journal is a great tool to discern god’s love and god’s goodness.
It also helps us to build our understanding of God and see how having Him present in our daily life is the most important relationship we should make time for each day.
Morning journaling allows us to be grateful first thing in the morning. We can give praise to the Lord for all the things that we do have which reinforces our positive mental attitude while showing thanksgiving to God for His blessings.
Journaling also provides us with a way of seeing our spiritual growth on paper. It can also serve as showing us when prayers have been answered, goals achieved, ideas developed, and dreams fulfilled.
