New simply sweet and I Love You necklace adds classic beauty and precious meaning to every day. Itty bitty in design, our handcrafted sterling silver heart necklace is perfect as a light and subtle everyday necklace, and an equally fun addition to your layered look. 

Two tiny 7mm x 5mm hearts are intertwined on a sparkling 16-18" adjustable sterling silver cable chain. 

Powerful message, dainty design. Perfect gift for those in need of a reminder to trust in their faith for guidance; to walk by faith when they cannot see. Also a powerful and meaningful {while also stylish} gift for birthdays and graduations, any milestone or simply a just-because gift - a reminder to follow your own path, to be brave, and to look forward not back.

What if your blessings come through rain drops? What if Your healing comes through tears? What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near? What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are His mercies in disguise?

New design inspired by one of my favorite Christian artists, Laura Story. A petite iridescent glass raindrop dangles from a shimmering sterling silver cable necklace to bring encouragement during life's storms; a reminder that God remains faithful even when things don’t turn out the way we expect them to.

The raindrop appears transparent at first glance - but with Light, the rainbow inside is revealed. Let this little rainbow smugglin' raindrop serve as your reminder of His mercies in disguise.

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1  This verse was memorized, prayed, cried and spoken aloud by my husband and I continually throughout our years that we struggled with infertility.  Whether you are just beginning your journey with infertility or you’re a veteran, you know that hope is the only thing that keeps you moving forward, against all logic.  When everyone around you may tell you to let it go, the doctors give you bad report after bad report and that little voice in your head whispers “just give up”, a glimmer of hope tells you that God has something in store for you that is bigger than anything you could ever imagine.  And many times, God’s plans are completely different than yours... but please know without a doubt that those plans are always, always better than you could ever imagine.

Hope is claiming God’s promises in the middle of life’s biggest struggles.  Trusting God, even when His answer is “wait”, “not yet” or even “no”. Without the waiting, without pain, without disappointment, we could never truly understand and experience the goodness of an answered prayer, the joy of an unmistakable miracle, the power of blind faith, the healing that comes with giving your brokenness to a God who makes all things new.  

Looking back over the years of enduring loss after loss, our hearts being broken and our faith being tested, I know that God intends to use our story to encourage others.  I wanted to create a piece for anyone who is waiting for an answer from God through an infertility journey or any other hardship that requires a daily reminder that hope springs eternal.  The pearl was the first symbol that came to mind for this purpose… a treasure that literally comes from a wound as an oyster heals itself. Beauty born from pain. I pray that this necklace blesses you on your journey as God unfolds His perfect plan for you.

“They may forget your name, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.”  ~ Maya Angelou. 

Nursing is a heart-wrenching, down in the trenches, often un-glorified calling.  You are teachers, ministers, healers and comforters and though it may not be said nearly enough, you ARE appreciated.  Nursing is a work of HEART.

Every night, since our kiddos were itty bitty, we have had a very consistent bedtime routine. Daddy sings and prays with the three older girls, and I snuggle (no singing for this girl, ha!) and pray with the youngest. Our prayers have covered a variety of topics through the years: always including thanks for their teachers and friends, gratitude for the health and safety of our family, and our list of other current praises and requests. 

We always close the same way: 

"Lord, let them see You in me. Help me to remember that when I go about my day, I want everyone to meet Jesus through me. I want to love so big and help so much ... so much that people say, 'Hey, she loves Jesus and, goodness, she is pretty awesome ... I gotta get to know this Jesus guy!' Let them want to know You and love You because of the joy that I shine and the way that I made them feel. Let them see You in me. Amen." 

Our family's prayer for this necklace is that you wear it as a reminder to show others who He is in your words and actions and love. A sparkly symbol to wear every day to keep you centered on shining His light and intriguing others to seek it too.

Way maker
Miracle worker
Promise keeper
Light in the darkness
My God
That is who you are

There’s nothing better than catching ourselves singing “Waymaker, miracle worker.. promise keeper” throughout the day.

These are the words we want our kids to hear us singing. 

Keep these words close and remind yourself to sing about His goodness.
