Do you ever feel like you’re falling short during the holidays?

If you do, welcome to The Journaling Room. I’m Kendall, and this episode is especially for the mom who feels like everyone else is doing Christmas “right,” while she’s just trying to keep the laundry moving and the kids fed.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I should be doing more.” “This should feel more magical.” “I’m not giving my family the Christmas they deserve.”

…then take a deep breath. You’re in the perfect place today.

We’re going to talk about the “perfect holiday script” we all quietly carry—the one that tells us how it should look, how we should feel, and how everything should turn out. And then we’re going to gently rewrite that script with grace.

We’ll explore the story you’re living out, the pressure it creates, and how journaling can set you free from perfection and move you toward presence.

And most importantly, we will remember that Christ does not measure your worth by your performance—but by His finished work.

Journaling Prompt #1: What “perfect holiday script” do I carry in my mind?

Journaling Prompt #2: How has chasing that script left me feeling?

Journaling Prompt #3: If I rewrote my holiday story around presence, what would it sound like?
