Still, Eternal One, You are our Father. We are just clay, and You are The Potter. We are the product of Your creative action, shaped and formed into something of worth. (Isaiah 64:8 VOICE)
At the beginning of the year, I ordered some jewelry making supplies and tools and the company sent me all of these key rings and different colored coil keychain bracelets as a free gift. I had no idea what I was going to do with them.
Then, I remembered that I had a bunch of small cross-shaped vials and so I took one of the crosses and inside of it I put a grain of rice that I wrote the word “faith” on, a mustard seed to represent Matthew 17:20, and then I put 14, round, 1mm, genuine gemstones inside to represent the birthstones of my family/the people that I love and pray for daily.
I’ve been wearing this bracelet all year and I never really take it off because all throughout the day, every time I see it on my wrist, it reminds me to pray for the people that I love and really have the faith to see the fullness of God’s promise come to fruition in their lives.
(He told them, “It was because of your lack of faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!” – (Matthew 17:20 TPT)
I leave you guys with this, those key rings and keychain bracelets seemed so insignificant when I first got them, but I took them and made something beautiful/meaningful to me with them. I feel like that’s exactly what God does with us. We give Him our lives and He makes something incredibly beautiful, purposeful, meaningful, and promise-filled out of them!
“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.” – Bill Moyers

I appreciate all the exciting, creative directions your life is taking. Your bead necklaces are just stunning. Anxious to read your children’s book. And love the idea of a prayer journal. My friend Mary Clewley writes some wonderful Bible study workbooks. She always encourages users to write prayers of their own. I had never done that until I did with Mary’s workbook. Writing prayers is very therapeutic and a great way to communicate with God.
