I couldn’t help myself designing one last inspiration board with a taste of summer! I’m definitely more of a neutrals girl, but this weekend I bought a neon pink tee and I love how fresh I feel in something so bright. It inspired today’s inspiration board. Enjoy!

Meet our newest mini capsule collection, a collabo

Meet our newest mini capsule collection, a collaboration with @hannahbrencher called Touch Points.

Hannah’s favorite neutrals including a SOLID BLACK! Who’s excited? They are in the shop now for the next few months! Grab while you can!

And what’s behind the title Touch Points? One thing the Lord has been revealing to Hannah over the last few years is just how ongoing this conversation is. And how many touch points we have in the day to meet with Him! It’s not about more prayers but about more time in His presence!

Check out the blog to hear more thoughts from Hannah about the collection!

If you’re already stressed about being stressed

If you’re already stressed about being stressed out this season, does this post resonate? What’s your strategy to enjoy Christmas this year? And has it helped or made it harder?

I'm kind of a grinch when it comes to gifts. I hate for people to buy me things that as a minimalist, I don't really need.

And apparently I’m not alone! @joshua_becker shared a stat that 7 out of 10 people would like friends and family to agree not to exchange gifts. 😬 I polled my audience in stories and it was about the same!

So I thought a fun idea for a small Bible study group or friend group that's planning on exchanging gifts could buy each other their prayer journals for the upcoming year instead of simply buy themself one.

They all pick a name and order that person's journal for them. They could even add a prayer in the front for that friend's upcoming year and they could go around a circle and share why they picked the color they picked and just have fun with it!

You'd get something you may have already planned to get for yourself, but also get to:
1) Do it with friends.
2) Personalize someone else's journal with a prayer. How meaningful is that!
3) Go home with something you know you'll love to use.

If this sounds waaaaay to practical for you guys, I blame my mom. 😜 I get my practicality from her. She bought us bath towels for Christmas one year (thinking we would LOVE them) and we thought we were getting clothes boxes stuffed with Limited Too outfits. Bath towels! For pre-teens! It comes up atleast once a season.

As an adult, I'm actually ready for a new set of towels. The ones we got for our wedding are literally holding on my a thread. 😳 May have to add them to my Christmas list this year. 😉

Tag your friend group if you think this would be fun to do.

Thoughts on the local church and prayer. I’m curious if you agree! Would love to hear. And honestly if you don’t agree, please share too! I’d love to be wrong about this!! 😂😂

Also I asked in stories yesterday the top three distractions to prayer. Would love your feedback. So far tons of good answers! I’ll be addressing soon with some helpful content!

Ever wondered what goes into the cost of your jour

Ever wondered what goes into the cost of your journal? For us, this is what it looks like.

15% off the top for giving and everything else follows.

Being a company that gives is honestly pretty popular these days so I'd bet most companies you shop with give somewhere. And that's pretty cool. But the reason we give isn't because we're do-gooders. It's because we know this isn't ours to begin with. It's because we've been given and there are needs all around us. How silly (honestly, sinful) it would be to keep it all for ourselves and pretend it came by our own hand.

Deuteronomy 8 is a beautiful reminder of God's provision for the Israelites and something I need to be reminded of too. :

"You may say to yourself, 'My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.' But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

As we send funds each month to our charities, it is a physical demonstration that we still believe this is true. We know that without the Lord working, our efforts, talents, creativity would fall flat.

Since 2016, our focus has been Reciprocal Ministries International where we help provide hot meals to the students. in Haiti. Several hundred students get a meal every day of the school year thanks to you!

Because of many factors, RMI and Haiti are under incredible strain and just started a fundraiser. If you're looking for somewhere to give, this organization is solid! Before deciding where to donate, it was important that we made sure whoever we supported used the money well. We had an expert in non-profit vet companies and RMI exceeded their expectations on how they used funds.

I'll put a link in stories if you'd like to give directly! And if you've purchased from our shop, know that 15% of your entire order (tax and shipping even 😂) is headed to Haiti!
