Shinelife

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.

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. 

Dainty and sparkly 10mm sterling silver geometric charm with brilliant crystal on an 18" shimmering sterling silver cable chain.
