A Simple Holy Week Quiet Time Plan (for Busy Women Who Want to Feel Close to Jesus Again)

Holy Week is one of those seasons that can feel deeply meaningful… and also very busy. 

There are church services to attend, meals to plan, family schedules to juggle, baskets and outfits and last-minute errands, and somehow, the week that’s meant to center our hearts on Jesus can turn into one more thing we rush through.

And then Easter morning arrives, and we’re grateful… but also a little unsettled.

Because we wanted more than a holiday. We wanted Jesus.

If that’s you, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’ve felt that tension too—wanting the message of Easter to land in my heart, not just on my calendar.

So I’m going to share a simple plan you can use this week. It’s not complicated. It doesn’t require an hour a day. And it’s built for real life.

It’s a simple rhythm: a short reading, one reflection question, and one easy response—so even if you’re busy, you can still feel close to Jes...

 If you’ve ever opened your Bible during Easter week and thought, “I want to do something meaningful with this… but I can’t draw,” I just want to say: you are exactly the kind of woman I write for.

Because Bible journaling was never meant to be an art class.

It’s a way to slow down long enough to notice what God is saying… and then capture it so you remember it later. And you can absolutely do that without sketching a single flower, banner, or fancy lettering style.

Today I’m going to show you a handful of simple techniques you can use to Bible journal the Easter story. These are quick, beginner-friendly, and they’ll give you a fast “I actually did it!” win—so you feel confident the next time you open your Bible.

Let’s do this together.

First: Pick one Easter passage (don’t overthink it)

You don’t need to journal the whole week’s readings all at once. Choose one of these:

• Jesus’ triumphal entry: Matthew 21:1–11

• The Last Supper: Luke 22:14–20

• The cross: Luke 23:32–4...
