Why journaling, anyway? Read the entry for October 31, 2025 and see if this might be something that can help you!

I plan to make every attempt to write at least weekly on Ink Plots. In part, I hope to keep myself on track and accountable to completing the next projects in the queue!

Love you all!

Hello, there…

I am Kristi Gray. Just like many others, I am stepping out in Faith into a new way of doing — well — everything!

In the spring of 2025, I knew I needed to change what I was doing and where I was going. I got a clear message to create the kind of guiding journal that I myself would find and purchase — one showcasing God’s creation and pointing me back to His Word.

In order to form a place where people can learn (or be reminded) about our amazing Papa, I have been cobbling together years’ worth of photos and lessons Holy Spirit has given me.

At the same time, I have been helping my amazingly creative husband with other projects that have stretched my artsy side, challenged my non-science mind, and jump-started me back down the road of physically creating art — painting, drawing, and (happy day) using power tools with mediums I never would have imagined in the past!

I have so many more things planned. I hope my journey will encourage you in your own.

Kristi Gray: Artist and author of Christian books (guided journals and more) for people of faith or people seeking God.
