Story time 🤍 Last week, I felt God gently ask me to put more of Him into the shop.
While browsing for new items, a few bracelets stood out to me. They were more expensive than I would normally spend & honestly didn’t meet my usual buying criteria. But I felt pulled to them anyway… so I bought them.
Fast forward to Friday, my son asked if he should price one particular bracelet. I said, “No, that’s okay, I’ll do it,” & set it aside.
Then Saturday came. My daughter asked the same thing. Again, I said no… and for some reason I placed that bracelet in the back of the shop.
Later that day, a customer came in. As we talked, she shared some incredibly heavy news she was walking through. And in an instant, I felt the Spirit say, “The bracelet is for her.”
The bracelet read: “Don’t let the hard days win.”
We both cried. It was so clear that bracelet had been meant for her all along. God knew she would need it before I ever did.
Not long after she left, a gentleman came into the shop. While browsing, he purchased a few bracelets we’ve carried for a while, but I noticed he kept looking at a new display I had just added the night before. Another set of bracelets that God wanted me to buy.
After he paid & began walking out, I asked which one he had been looking at.
He said, “The WWJD bracelet.”
I felt strongly he needed it. I told him I believed God wanted him to have it. Instantly emotional, he shared that his mom had just passed away.
As we talked & I shared a little about losing my own dad, we both realized something deeper:
It wasn’t just God prompting the moment… it felt like his mom was reminding him he wasn’t alone & she was the one who wanted him to have it.
Almost every time we open the doors, God inspires giving. He brings people in to find exactly what they didn’t even know they needed; sometimes healing, sometimes encouragement, sometimes simply to feel seen.
This week He asked me to buy things we honestly didn’t have the money for. But it was never that. It was about obedience, love, & reminding people they are not alone.
Sometimes we just need to feel the love of others; to know we are seen, known, & deeply loved by God.
