Devotional: No one Can Drag You Down


“What’s the very best remark you’ve ever acquired in your store?”

The BEST remark I’ve ever acquired in my complete life for my store was Desiree’s. It made me SOOO comfortable. Desiree says…

Aww…that’s so candy! 🥹

Rising up I LOVED (obsessively) with Lisa Frank and all of the designs. They’re simply so stunning. So to listen to that my designs and concepts are THAT good…wow. I’m blown away. 🤩 By no means, ever, in 1,000,000 years thought *I* may create printables.

I imply, I wasn’t even the inventive kind!

That will shock you, nevertheless it’s true.

I used to be far more on the mental facet of my mind and was by no means good at creativity and artwork. Actually, in Excessive Faculty, I bought a D on a closing in artwork class. The instructor advised me that she solely gave me a D as a substitute of an F as a result of she knew how onerous I labored on the undertaking.

I did. I toiled and toiled on that factor and I’ll always remember that undertaking as a result of it took weeks longer than what was required of me, however I actually wished to do it.

However I made one mistake and used the one glue we had (a purple stick glue that dried yellow) and it ended up trying dangerous. I turned it in anyway as a result of I couldn’t repair it and didn’t have the correct glue anyway. I used to be so upset about my work. Even speaking about it at this time, brings me to tears. And to get a D on it. 😢

That state of affairs actually crushed me and I felt like a failure.

So to be in comparison with a model really sensible like Lisa Frank is simply…wow! 🥰

Right here’s what I might say…

There’s all the time going to be SOMEone who doesn’t such as you or what you do. There’s all the time going to be one main individual in your life who doesn’t agree with you or thinks you need to give up.

Keep in mind how many individuals advised me to not begin a weblog?! My Pastor in Idaho, my mother, all my pals on the time. Nobody thought I may do it. I used to be advised I used to be being irresponsible for beginning a weblog, by my very own Pastor! My mother mentioned I used to be simply fooling myself. I had nothing to say, she mentioned, nobody would pay attention. 

But right here I’m, over 10 years later, nonetheless running a blog and nonetheless making an revenue by means of my weblog. Extra importantly than all that, it was God’s plan for me and He has and can use this weblog mightily for His good and superb identify and I’m very blessed to be part of HIS plan! 🥰 

Devil simply likes to work by means of vital individuals in our lives, so who we have now in our lives issues (1 Corinthians 15:33)! We have to ensure that we’re surrounding ourselves with individuals who raise us up and encourage us to obey God in any respect prices.

I’ve needed to stroll away from MANY friendships through the years, even good Christians, as a result of they don’t help or consider in God’s work by means of me and are attempting to pull me down. Typically individuals get jealous, catty, or blatantly attempt to destroy my work and all that God is doing.

You completely should take heed to what Christ is convicting you to do and obey His voice it doesn’t matter what.

I listened to that instructor who gave me the D, however in my coronary heart, I stored on creating artwork. Even when I stunk at it, it was FUN for me, and through the years, as a result of I didn’t surrender and I stored on attempting and doing it for enjoyable, now I’ve an empire constructed across the artwork that I actually design and create.

Check out my store:

I drew all that by hand! The rockets, the moon, the solar, the chibi little mother, dad, and child household. Not too shabby, eh? And look what number of merchandise I’ve within the store at this level, 222! It’s not a small retailer. I did all that and I pray God makes use of it to assist individuals fall in love with Him increasingly each day. 

I help myself, income-wise, for one thing I think about FUN and actually, that’s such an enormous blessing additionally. 🎁

Think about getting paid to have FUN. 🎉

You’ll be able to!!!

No matter it’s that’s your dream, don’t surrender.

If God’s laid it in your coronary heart to do it, DO IT and don’t be scared! Sure, we wish to take heed to others inform us when one thing is flawed, after all, however when you find yourself positive God needs you to do one thing, don’t maintain again, don’t shrink down, and by no means allow them to inform you that you could’t do it when God has clearly convicted you to do one thing.

As a result of the world will strive! 

Don’t let the naysayers inform you that you could’t do it, you’re not adequate, you don’t belong.

Perhaps you’re NOT adequate to do one thing, I definitely wasn’t adequate to begin a weblog, however by means of the facility of Christ, HE strengthens me, HE provides me data and knowledge, HE removes limitations and blocks, and HE helps me to achieve order that I obey Him and line my coronary heart and life as much as His plans and functions for me. 

You’ll discover a method, you’ll determine it out. If it’s God’s will, you can not fail as a result of the God Who created the entire universe is in your nook, serving to and guiding you. ❤️
