While I am truly, selfishly sad to see you close, your vulnerability and honesty about being obedient is so very timely for me. I’ve been using your journal for six years now. I started giving them as gifts 2 years ago. I had already ordered my 2025s for all my people during the launch, and now I’ve stocked up on the 6 month formats (plus stickers bc my writing looks like a man’s 🤣) to get me through 2027. After years of searching and trying to make my own prayer journal, I stumbled into yours, and it has changed my prayer life completely. I’m saving them all, unsure of when or if I’ll pass them on, but if I do pass them on, I know I’ll be leaving my children a legacy of prayer… a real look at what cultivating a spiritual discipline looked like for their mother. That is a terrifying and humbling thought, but your product has made that possible for me. Our stories have many similarities, (chronic illness, 3 kids, husband’s job that needs me to be more present) so again, I’m so very thankful for the way you are leading by example. I will be constantly watching and waiting to see what you do next. You have already been a mighty instrument for our Redeemer, and I’m sure you will continue to be!

Thank you for doing the live, and thank you for this recap. Someone on IG commented how they went from shock to sadness to almost despair, but then watching your live and really getting to hear your heart (better than just reading an email) was so helpful and made them excited for you and your future. And I agree with them 100%. The live really helped my own perspective. Your ministry has been the #1 most impactful (human) thing on my prayer life in the last 5 years and I look forward to seeing what God has for you next.

Is there a link for the full hour long video? I would like to watch it. Instagram is only showing a minute or so that I can see.

Hey! Which link did you try? Did you click 'the hour-long video' words? I'm not sure why it's just showing a minute! If you got to my profile it's video after VMP is closing post. Hope that helps! https://www.instagram.com/valmariepaper/
