Walking By Faith

Leave a Comment

HELLO, FRIEND.

I know it’s been a minute since we’ve chatted. And I’m guessing, that if you’re anything like me, you’ve had more than your share of twists and turns this year. I’ve definitely been quieter than usual, as we’ve continued to navigate life and ministry and all the rest.

Sometimes that’s all we can do, isn’t it? One foot in front of the other. Taking each step by faith. Not knowing what’s around the bend, but trusting the One who sees it all and faithfully leads us on.

I would love to hear how this year has been for you, and what the Lord is showing you.

As always, THANK YOU so much for sharing this faith journey with me, friend.

Grateful for His strength to take the next step of faith.

For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “the just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17)

His Joy Your Strength

The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength Scripture Art | Hope Ink

Okay, before anything else, aren’t you beyond thankful that no matter what each new year (or day) holds, we can put our trust and HOPE in the One who will never fail or forsake us?

Me too. Times a thousand.

I can’t imagine facing this life and all its twists and turns without Him.

So, I’m posting this (a few days later than I intended, but here we are) because I need to let you know about a couple of time sensitive things.

First of all, since we’re kicking off a new year, and because we want our priorities straight, it’s the perfect time to jump into a Bible reading plan. I heard from many of you that loved the one I shared last year, which takes you through the entire Bible in chronological order. Here it is, in case you missed it the first time, or just want to print off a fresh copy.

Second, I’m so excited to be a part (along with my handsome husband) of the 7th annual Homemaking Ministries Online Conference, a one of a kind event, hosted by my friend Jami Balmet of The Young Wife’s Guide.

It’s a fully ONLINE CONFERENCE where Gospel centered theology meets everyday practical living. There really is no other resource out there quite like this for Christian women. And the best part? You don’t have to hire a babysitter, pay for a plane ticket, or arrange a hotel. It’s all online so you can participate and watch from the comfort of your own living room – wherever you are in the world.

I love that the theme is FINDING JOY IN YOUR HOME with topics that are so PRACTICAL, yet also go deeper to that heart level we all need. In my session, I’ll be “interviewing” my husband, a full-time Biblical counselor, about how to find true joy and peace, wherever you are, even (or especially) in the midst of difficult circumstances.

How was your weekend, friend?

Mine was a little crazy, for different reasons – most of them not fun. Which is why this promised email is a few days late. I planned to have the new calendars and Christmas designs ready to share sooner – before life got in the way. So we’re skipping right over Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and barely squeaking in for Cyber Monday 😉

And can I just say how thankful I am for a new week and fresh new mercies from Him. You too?

I’m thrilled to finally be able to share the new Christmas designs and 5 (yes, five!) 2021 Hope Ink Calendars ready to be packaged up for you. There’s really something for everyone on your gift list …

Grace Upon Grace: Mini hanger version for small spaces
Rejoice Always: Giant wall art edition for big impact
Good News Cards: Advent calendar perfect for family or gift-giving
The Soldier’s Prayer: Traditional hanging calendar featuring Psalm 91, also known as “The Soldier’s Prayer,” neutral enough for men too
Amazing Grace: Printable calendar ready for instant download

And because they’re just a teensy bit late this year, and since you’ve all been waiting so patiently for them, you can use code GOODNEWS20 to take 20% off everything in the HOPE INK SHOP for the next 7 days!

Thank you for being such a blessing to me and my family, and for continuing to support this little studio – only made possible by God’s amazing grace and friends like you. You are so appreciated.

Watchful + Thankful

Free Coloring Printables Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Friend.

This year has been heavy for all of us, hasn’t it?

So many things happening – or not happening.

And is it just me, or does Thanksgiving seem that much sweeter and needed right now? A day to pause and take stock of all that the Lord has given us, and every little (and big) thing that we should pretty much never take for granted again.

I thought a new coloring printable was in order, so I just added one to the FREE PRINTABLES PAGE. The words are a perfect reminder from Him in the midst of the uncertainty all around us.

+ Devote yourselves to prayer being watchful and thankful.

I love that we can be both. Watchful. Looking expectantly for what God will do. And being thankful, no matter what He walks us through. Because no matter what, He is always with us. Come what may. We can trust Him. Always.

Reflect on that truth as you take a little coloring break today with someone you love!

I’ll be back later this weekend to share the new 2021 Calendars which so many of you have asked about – along with some fun new surprises and a special Hope Ink shop sale.

For from His fullness we have all received,
grace upon grace. John 1:16
