The Plans I Have For You Devotional & Journal Review

It's a new year, and that offers new opportunities to refocus hearts and minds on our relationships with Jesus.  I've been looking for a devotional to go through with my youngest, and when I saw The Plans I Have For You Devotional and Journal, I was intrigued.  Jeremiah 29:11, the reference of the verse where the title comes from, was the verse my husband and I had on our wedding program.  It's been a theme of our marriage, and something close to my heart.  I was excited to get these books to spend some quality time with my youngest cultivating a love of devotional time with the Lord.

I received a copy of the devotional and journal for free to review.  My opinions are all my own.  See my full disclosure policy for more details.

An Overview of The Plans I Have For You Devotional and Journal

The devotional is a 90-day study written by Amy Parker and illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, and it focuses on dreaming about God's plans for your future and how He's shaped you uniquely for His purposes.  Filled with beautiful illustrations, this short and sweet devotional is easy to read, yet packed with rich truth.

Each devotional is followed up in the journal with pages that spark creative thinking and dreaming as you consider the plans God has for you.  There is a great balance of writing pages and drawing prompts.  Although recommended for ages 11-14, it can easily be completed and enjoyed by younger readers.  My 9 year old is enjoying how the two work together, but she is not a fast writer.  I am her scribe and she just tells me her thoughts.  This is a wonderful way for me to hear her heart and get to know her thinking more as we go through the study together!

Since the readings are fairly short, completing the devotional takes about 15 minutes.  It is amazing to me how such a short amount of time repeated over the course of 90 days can produce such sweet fruit.  My daughter has been so excited to complete her devotional with me each day.  It's really a sweet time for both of us.
