State of the Heart Co

Happy Wednesday friends!! I hope you enjoy this encouragement today. ☺️

This verse comes from Daniel when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, were going to be thrown into the fiery furnace for refusing to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gods. They showed strength and courage in front of the King and told him that God would deliver them from the fire, but if he didn’t, they STILL wouldn’t turn their back on God.

Of course God DID deliver them from the fire and Nebuchadnezzar was so astonished that he made a decree that nobody from any nation, people or tongue under his empire shall say anything against the God of Israel. ☺️

What is it that you’re facing today? There are things that we face in life that although we have the faith that God will deliver us, sometimes he doesn’t. Or maybe he does, but not according to our timeline. And it takes faith and courage on our part to trust Him and His goodness no matter what.

Maybe you’re struggling with an illness, maybe you’re in the midst of a trial with family, maybe you haven’t accomplished what you’d hoped to by now, maybe you’ve been praying for a miracle that hasn’t come. God is STILL good. Rest in that today no matter what you’re facing. 💕☺️

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

Don’t 👏🏻 ever 👏🏻 give 👏🏻 up. I’ve come so close to quitting on this dream multiple times. But the Lord is always there to encourage me and pull me back. This is about Him. It’s never been about me. He’s the one who put this on my heart to begin with. And He’s the one allowing it to grow. Thank you for being here on this journey with me. I’ll never be the best at this social media thing. But my only hope is that I can bring some joy and encouragement to each of you through my artwork and products. 💕

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NIV

Happy Friday friends! ☺️💕

If you saw my story earlier, you already saw this quote. But I wanted to turn it into a doodle to share because I hope it will bring you comfort. ☺️🤍

In this life we WILL have trouble. Jesus told us that. Look at what he went through for us. If our Lord and Savior wasn’t spared from difficult circumstances, why should we expect to be?

But the point is to look past our circumstances and focus on Him. Our circumstances are temporary, but “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!” Hebrews 13:8

If you find yourself in a tough season, take comfort in this truth today. 🥰

Give this a like if this encouraged you, and let me know in the comments something you can be thankful for today. 💕

Okay guys, here's a sneak peek at what's to come in my shop! 😄 I have a couple other (super exciting) things I'm waiting on and I plan to list them all at once and have a fun sale to celebrate expanding my offerings. 🥳

What do you guys think? 🙃

I can't believe how cute my stickers look on my new ! Seeing them all together like this on a super cute water bottle makes them feel official. 🥰

Let me know which are your favorites, and any other designs you might be interested in seeing! 😊

Also, I'm working on a couple new things that I hope you guys will love, and I can't wait to share with you! Hint: they're not stickers!

I was up late doodling last night and found myself writing "Yes you can." This is the answer to any doubts or fears you're carrying around. Yes you can! Don't listen to those negative voices around you or inside your head. You have everything you need to do what you're called to do!

Remember, you can do ALL THINGS through Christ who gives you strength! Philippians 4:13

Happy Sunday everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! Today I want to encourage you to see the good in every situation. How easy is it, especially in the midst of what we're going through, or in times of trial, to focus on the storm rather than on what's good?

In the midst of the storm, Peter was literally able to walk on water! Until he took his eyes off Jesus and was distracted by the storm. See the good. Focus on the good. Don't get distracted by everything that seems to be going wrong.

God is at work even in the midst of the storm. He is with us. He is working. He loves us.

Let's focus on Him today, and on everything that is good.

Today I'm choosing to focus on my blessings rather than my fears or shortcomings. Focusing on the good rather than being distracted by the storm.

I'm thankful today for my husband, our two beautiful babies, and most of all for my Savior who loves me and never leaves my side.

What good things in your life are you choosing to focus on today?

I just released this new sticker a couple days ago and I think it's my new favorite. 😊 More than ever, I think we can all use a cute reminder to spread kindness wherever we go. 😊 How are you spreading kindness to those around you?

I truly am so thankful for all of you for being here to support me and this little sticker shop of mine. Since this is all so new to me, I'd love to know what YOU'D like to see.
