What is a loaded Pocket?

A loaded pocket is a decorated pocket—often made from patterned paper—that’s filled with small, cut-out goodies like tags, journal cards, die cuts, and embellishments. It’s designed so you can “load” your journal, scrapbook, or folio with ready-to-use pieces that can be pulled out, written on, or tucked into other pages. Think of it as a little treasure pouch of coordinating elements that make your projects interactive and beautifully layered.

Light in the Darkness Class

In a society where Christmas has become secular and commercial this class will challenge you to reclaim its true meaning: light, grace, redemption, and hope.

Light breaking into darkness is the heartbeat of the Nativity. The birth of Christ is God's answer to the world's oppression, sin, and despair. Christmas is the gospel in miniature: a perfect demonstration of God’s rescue plan for sinful, broken humanity. Learn More. 

The Nativity Story Mirrors Our Spiritual Growth

The Nativity isn’t just a Christmas story — it’s a picture of how God grows a soul. When we walk through the events chronologically, each moment reflects a stage in our own spiritual journey.

Before the Birth — The Long Silence

Israel waited 400 years without a fresh word from God.
We know that feeling too — the quiet seasons, the unanswered prayers, the nights that feel endless.
Growth often begins in silence, long before we see any light.

Mary and Joseph — Surrender and Obedience

Mary’s “Let it be to me…” and Joseph’s quiet obedience mark the beginning of transformation.
Growth starts when we open our hands, trust God’s path, and obey even when it costs us something.

Bethlehem — Hard Roads With Purpose

The journey to Bethlehem was exhausting and inconvenient, yet it fulfilled prophecy.
Our difficult paths also carry divine purpose. God shapes us on the road we wouldn’t have chosen.

No Room — When Doors Close

Rejection led Mary and Joseph to a stable — the place God had already prepared.
Closed doors in our lives often become holy ground, where God births something new.

Shepherds and Wise Men — Humility and Faith

The shepherds show us that God reveals truth to humble hearts.
The Magi teach us to follow the light we do have, one step at a time.

Your Story in His Story

When we follow the Nativity chronologically, we see a pattern:

  • Silence
  • Surrender
  • Obedience
  • Hard roads
  • Closed doors
  • God’s provision
  • Growing faith

These moments aren’t just ancient history — they are the stages of spiritual growth every believer walks through.

Light in the Darkness helps you journal these truths, reflect deeply, and see how God is working in your own life just as surely as He worked in Bethlehem.

Come discover the miracle of His Light… shining through every chapter of your story.
