Michelle takes beautiful photographs. Of kitchen tools, her hens, nature, food, and so much more. She draws out the beauty in objects in a way that I find peaceful and thoughtful. I was very excited to hear that she was going to start selling some of her photographs in note card form in her Etsy store. Then, she shared about her upcoming trip and that proceeds from her note cards would go toward that trip.
Well, that just did it. I had to share her work and her story with you.
Michelle is taking a HUGE leap of faith. She is stepping far outside her comfort zone because she has been called to step out. You can read about her journey from disbelief to trust here and a recent update here. This is a lesson for all of us. Are we too comfortable? We must remember that faith means stepping forth. Stepping forth and trusting, believing in something we cannot see. Believing, possibly, in something we cannot see in ourselves, but that our Father knows is there just waiting to be released. It's stepping way out. Are we listening to a tugging at our own heart strings? Even if the tug scares the living daylights out of us?
As we listen to our little tugs and grow the courage to respond, let's support Michelle in prayer.
THE GIVEAWAY:
I am thrilled to say that I will be giving away two (2) sets of Michelle's note cards. My hope is that they will bless you as they bless and support Michelle and her upcoming trip.
To enter, please visit Michelle's Etsy store, then come back and leave a comment, telling me which note card set you would like to win. I will draw two names sometime on Friday. Only one entry per household. If you comment anonymously, please leave some initials so I can identify you.

I love them all, but I would probably pick the pink and brown......or the bounty........or maybe the colorful. No, I think I'll go with my first choice. Pink and brown. :)
ReplyDeleteOoo! Probably Bounty, or maybe pink and brown! They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteReally neat cards. I think I'll have to go with "Bounty". But I also like "Pink and Brown"

ReplyDeleteI love the pink and brown set! They are all beautiful.
ReplyDeletei really like the bounty cards!
ReplyDelete#1 I wanted to leave a comment... but please take me out of the "drawing"" for the note cards.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy cards... but I did purchase a set of Mrs. Fig's cards on ETSY this morning...
Only because I think we all need to find what nourishes our soul...
And when we do find it... and put our plan into action... it's really all one could ever ask for.
Imagine what this world would be like if we all took leaps of faith more often.
Blessings Michele :)
Cool, another giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all really pretty, but I love COLORFUL (especially the bikes)
