Always a believer but not necessarily a follower - how does jewelry fit in? and ucbradio.com
I admit it, shiny things attract me. I'm dazzled by pretty things, like a bird. It's a girl thing most likely. This store began with the intent to spread God's love, spread Joy to others. My intent was to create things specifically with a joyful heart to pass that on to my customers. Amazingly I did not sell one faith based piece of jewelry! This was in 2018-2019, when I was still a believer but not really a follower. I had not realized there was a difference at that point. I know, shocking to some, but reality for many. When it hits you, when you become a follower, your eyes and spirit are opened. Along with a freedom that following Christ brings.
In 2020 when lockdowns hit Canada, I felt like I was jailed. I had a 2 bedroom condo, with little natural light, and believe me, I felt like I was in jail. I felt confined, sad, depressed, anxious and very much like a caged animal. I have always had a fear of being confined, I want to break out, immediately. Canada had horrible restrictions in 2020. But looking back now, the pressure of confinement, created the blossoming of faith. I realized I was living a worldly life, the wide road, believing what society was telling me. I was completely brain washed, and I am now on the other side, so it's easy to admit that. If you watch mainstream tv, listen to mainstream radio, most social media, you are exposed to repetitive messages of worldly, wide road type of living. I was, not completely, but I admit that is where I was at. Even with my idea for Joyful Creations, I was still listening to music, watching movies, seeing too much content, that was drawing me away from the Lord and true freedom.
It was a process, but the biggest change for me was joining a bible study, and really reading my Bible. I began to walk with Jesus, and man is it wonderful. So wonderful I began making different choices. Like listening to Faith based radio ( I love UcbRadio.com you can listen online or in the car in Saskatoon 103.1). I do not expose myself to any contradictory messages anymore. I am on that narrow road, and it is so incredibly beautiful.
So I changed my company to help people find faith based jewelry (and more)! And I could not be more pleased. I love sharing my faith with others. We are called to be bold in our Faith, to share the gospel, to follow Jesus.
I'm not here to preach to anyone. Just to share my story, openly and honestly. To share my love for Jesus. To spread Joy.
I will be adding more faith products such as clothing, mugs etc. We plan to grow, and to spread Jesus and Joy!
Galatians 5 22:23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law."
