I first created the Esther Formation Series in Google Docs for myself. I wanted to begin each day by resting with God and meditating on Scripture, not simply reading a Bible passage or devotional and then moving on with my day.
I kept coming back to Matthew 6:33, Romans 12:2, and Psalm 139:23–24: seek first the Kingdom of God, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ask God to search your heart. I wanted a simple daily practice and trusted that the Lord would meet me there during a difficult season. Within the first week, I began sensing Him speak to me, and that has continued to grow over time. I also began seeing changes in areas where years of effort had not worked, without having to force them through sheer willpower. The story of Esther and her twelve months of preparation became the framework for the journey.
That is where La Maison Grace began. My hope is to share practices and tools that help other women spend time with God more easily, hear His voice throughout the day, and grow into who He created them to be. Grace, the daily companion app, is the first offering to come from that work.
When I told my youngest son what I was working on, he had just graduated with a degree in computer science. I mentioned how much I'd love to turn it into an app I could share with other women. He got to work right away, built the foundation for Grace, and taught me how to keep going on my own.
I'm still walking this path myself, learning to let go of the outcome and trust what God can do with a life that makes room for Him. I want La Maison Grace to be a welcoming place for women who want to keep growing, with more peace and joy along the way.
