For the Christian woman WITH Chronic illness, a hard diagnosis, or a long season of treatment.
One place to track, journal, and be honest with God about your chronic illness
So you can find His comfort and peace, even in the valley.
A planner, prayer journal, and medical binder in one, built around the Psalms by a mom who lives in the same waiting rooms as you.
What is IN THE VALLEY PLANNER?
In The Valley Planner, Month 1: Entering the Valley is a 173-page printable & digital planner-journal for women enduring chronic illness with faith.
Every day, it tends three things most planners keep separate: your heart (a Psalm-shaped rhythm, a verse, a breath prayer, an honest prompt), your body (symptoms, medications, and the questions you'll forget by the time the doctor walks in), and your daily life (tasks, care, connection, food, events... the ordinary life stuff that doesn't pause just because you're sick). A full blank page each day, for everything else. And four weekly reflections, each written on that week's rhythm and verses.
It's bundled with a Complete Medical Binder, 4-week Pattern Tracker, and a Psalm 23 Art Print
The mechanism is simple: multiple notebooks become one honest place for everything before God.
Your purchase includes both a PDF for print and a PDF optimized for digital use on your tablet.
The digital version contains hyperlinked tabs

I built this in an oncology waiting room.
I'm Rachael. I'm a Christian mom navigating chronic myeloid leukemia, and for a long time, I hauled three notebooks to every appointment in my tote bag.
A devotional, for the 2 hours in a waiting room without wifi. A planner, because the household didn't pause just because I was sick. And a notebook loaded with questions for my doctor, scribbling his answers in the margins, forgetting which labs to schedule, with the thing I absolutely must not forget to tell him...and always did.
I started writing over the prompts in a "wellness" journal my mom gave me after my diagnosis. It was well-intended, but its little happy faces seemed to mock me on hard days. Three notebooks, one exhausted woman, and a quiet ache underneath it all: where is God in this? Does he see me in my overwhelm? How do I live an abundant life with such a heavy burden?
So I built the thing I needed. One place for the grief and the grocery list, the lament and the labs. I studied theology before I ever got sick, and I wrote the weekly reflections out of both experiences. And I didn't build it only for me - I built it for the woman two chairs down, with her own bag of half-filled notebooks.
Maybe that's you.
Good news: you don't have to arrive here polished. You can come as you are.
What this means for you
Each week walks you through seven rhythms the Psalms already model:
Lament · Trust · Hope · Gratitude · Surrender · Petition · Rest.
Each week opens with a short devotional I wrote on that week's Scriptures, so you're not starting cold.
You begin the week telling God the truth, even "how long, O Lord?" and you end it resting & receiving, instead of striving.
Four pages a day, in this order:
Tend Your Heart: today's check-in (pain, fatigue, mind, sleep), grounding hearts you color as you breathe in and out, the day's rhythm and verse, and one honest question. One sentence is enough.
Tend Your Body: a breath prayer drawn straight from Scripture, then physical symptoms, what's hard, what's helping, medications taken, and the box that quietly changes your appointments: notes & questions for my doctors...capture it now or it disappears.
Today's Rhythms & Overflow: tasks in gentle categories (home · care · connect), with a bujo key. Anything undone simply migrates forward; carried, not failed.
All The Other Things: an entire blank page. A sermon quote, a recipe, a frustrated vent, an extended prayer. No pressure to fill it.
Everything is undated. Begin any day. Vanish for two weeks. Come back to the next open page. Nothing here expires, and nothing keeps score.

Undated, so you begin where you are and a hard day never puts you behind.

INSTANT ACCESS INSIDE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PLANNER-JOURNAL
No more random notes scattered across your Notes App. This complete Medical Binder is a total command center that keeps everything in one place.
These sheets were created from my actual doctor's appointments for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, a high-risk pregnancy, and managing multiple other health issues over 2 decades.
I found that writing these things down in the moment (whether on my tablet or printed pages) is so much better than trying to remember them or trying to make sense of the appointment summary the office provides.
The 9 appointment forms have dedicated space for you to pre-fill your questions based on your daily and pattern tracking, alongside space to enter your doctor's responses when you're in the appointment.
The appointment forms include all the information you'll receive at each appointment, such as vitals, updates to treatment and medication, lab work to complete and by when, prescriptions to pick up and from where, referrals, and when to schedule the next appointment.

How is this different than all the other stuff out there?

There is nothing like this on the market. How do I know? Because I tried to find something like this and couldn't! That's why I made and personally use In The Valley Planner to bring my honest heart to God, guided by Scripture, in the same place I need to track my side effects, plan meals, and take notes at my oncology appointments.
