Hi family and friends,

I love making invitations, prints, decor, etc. I have a silent obsession with creating things digitally and physically. So, I figured what better way to share my love of creating with others! I am just starting off with it all and will be adding items along the way of life here. Hope you like some of my creations!

Little story on my shop name. I call it SmallSeedInc. based on the bible passage of Matthew 17:20, ” Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

When I was thinking of making an Etsy shop and all the doubts I had to try, this passage came to my mind. So I thought it was fitting to name it SmallSeedInc. because even a small seed can do ANYTHING.

Thank you!!

I love, love that quote. It is a powerful and inspiring statement.

We ALL have so much within us to offer and may not even know it or even use it to the fullest. We ALL have a purpose and even more than one purpose in our lives to live out. You just need to get out of our own way and let the world see how great you are.

You can so much to offer and God has placed those qualities in you for that reason. To be the light for others, to be the inspirational person someone needs, to be the caregiver, to be the friend who someone can trust, to be the teacher who influences students to be better, to be the coach who supports his athletes, to be the faithful servant of God having others see God through you, and so many more!

Believe me as you read this…You have somethings special within you. This world needs more good and more people to find what they can do for others to make the world a better place in the hands of our God. Believe that. Then, go out and find whatever it is in your heart, within your soul, that only you know is there, and do it! Believe in yourself. I believe in you and can not wait to see this world be changed, one special thing at a time!

Think about this…when you are out on a walk or a run, do you tend to always look ahead or look down at the ground? Or little of both? For me, I would say I used to do a little of both. Until…

One night I was out on a run. Now I should tell you, before I went outside to run, I was in my basement running on the treadmill. The kids were down there with me on their rollerblades being wild and crazy, typical kids having fun. For some reason that night they just seemed extra loud. Then, Nathan came down and asked me a question about an item that was not where it was normally in the basement. It was then, I had lost patience with my family and myself. I am not proud of this moment, however it happened. I turned the treadmill off and even though it was still sprinkling outside, I marched up the stairs and out the door to run. Real mature, I know.

However, when I was just about to finish my run I noticed a beautiful sunset to the west. One of the most beautiful ones I had ever seen. Then while looking ahead to the east, I see a beautiful rainbow. I kept running backwards to see sunset then forwards to see rainbow and capture the beauty of God’s work. Of course, since I left so abruptly I did not have my phone with me to take a picture.

I thought to myself, ” Wow, how amazing is this?! And I do not deserve this kind of moment with how I acted,” I was in awe of the fact God placed me in that moment to look up at the sky and see the wonders of his work. I next began to think of how many times may I have missed a beautiful moment in time because I always look at the road ahead while running, never looking up to take notice of the world around me. I am usually too busy listening to music or podcast to take notice of anything more. But not anymore. I take notice of God’s beautiful creations all around. I look up to see the sky and all its’ glory. I notice things I may have never seen and grateful I do now.

I encourage you to do just the same. Take the time to look up. Take the time to notice the amazing works of our God all around us. No matter where you live or where you are headed always, always look to God first, and keep looking up. Beauty is all around us.
