Collecting Pearls of Wisdom
Do you love our new Logo? It’s two hands holding many pearls of different sizes and colors. And why pearls? Because pearls are beautiful treasures that arise out of difficulty. So often, miracles–blessings, tender mercies, providence–come when we are in difficulty. When we call out to Him, God often gives us enough strength to smooth over the rocks in our lives. He doesn’t remove the difficulties, but he helps us through. If we choose to seek and remember these interactions, we can have a collection of memories, pearls of wisdom and tenderness. Treasuring up His miracles creates a cumulative string of pearls ~ an assurance that those experiences treasured and…

Plant The Seed
Sometimes I wish I could just snap my fingers and have what I need. The answer to a long sought after question. The knowledge on how to create something amazing the first time, like knowing the seeds I plant this spring will all grow into an amazing garden. There is power in learning little by little and growing your faith by small means. The more you practice, the better you get at having faith, the more you see Him in your life. First of all, I’m a YES girl. I always have been. So when a client asks me to do something in chocolate, I will say yes and then…

Gratitude
Hi Friends! If you’re in a similar space as me, you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or just spending time with the people you love. It’s a really busy time. Even busier if you’re in the retail world, making sure you have what the people want. Slowing down to take the time to be Grateful for what you have; Your family, friends, life, etc. seems even more difficult than it may have been last week or even yesterday. The one thing we can be confident in is that we have a loving God who is in the detail of our lives, woven through our connections with people, blessing us, and…

Hope
Recently my 25 year old son stopped by my house to do laundry. I was preparing to eat some breakfast which I had made the previous evening. “Hey, try this,” I said, raising a half teaspoon of chocolate chia pudding on a clean spoon. He looked at me hesitantly and did not turn his body toward me. He looked at the barely half filled spoon. He looked at me, as years of this, my normal behavior, crossed his mind. He had obviously had other experiences with chia pudding that I was not aware of, and had his own opinion on it. And yet, after a pause, he took the bite.…

Level Up
Congratulations! You unlocked a small miracle! That’s what I think when I notice something small that I could claim as my own doing, but I’ve learned the power of recognizing God in my life. I remember once, riding home from Canada with a friend. I was sleeping in the passenger seat and he was driving. Somehow I woke up just in time to say something, waking him up enough to get back on the road. Or, what about the time I was feeling so sad and lonely, walking into a store and this man who was loading his car stopped, turned around, and said happy Pioneer Day. That completely changed…

The Big Hope Letters Project
Hi! What’s going on in your life? For me, a lot of work, a little of playing ball with friends, time with my family, and lots of chocolate! I’ve got a lot of things going on in my life. Sometimes I think maybe too much. I feel overstimulated with news/politics/STUFF TO DO in addition to living life. I’ve realized it is comforting to let go of all the things around me and just find Jesus. I know he’s a part of my life if I invite him in and when I do, Boy! Life really does become much more simple. I can relax knowing he always knows the outcome and…
