Some stories begin with faith.

When I look back on the moments that changed my life, I realize something powerful:

God was already there before I arrived.

Before the opportunity. Before the challenge. Before the breakthrough. Before the answer.

That's the meaning behind "He Went Before Me."

A simple reminder that we don't have to walk into the unknown alone.

Faith. Strength. Heritage. Legacy.

✨ What helps you trust God when you can't see what's ahead?

The shorter version is likely to perform better on Tumblr because it reads like a personal reflection and invites responses rather than feeling promotional.

Some things carry deeper meaning than fashion ever could. ✨

I wanted this Juneteenth collection to feel softer… more reflective… more rooted in grace.

Not just freedom remembered — but healing honored.

This “Redeemed” design was created for the women who carry strength quietly. The women who continue showing up with faith, dignity, resilience, and beauty even after generations of carrying so much.

The sunburst represents rising anyway. With purpose. With grace. With God’s redeeming love covering every step.

Whether it’s worn to a Juneteenth celebration, family gathering, church event, or simply during everyday life, I wanted this piece to feel meaningful and wearable — something that reflects both heritage and hope.

Because Black women deserve softness too. 🤎

And there is power in quiet strength.

[notjustaserverdesign]

I think a lot of women are learning that softness and strength were never opposites.

Some women carry faith quietly. Not performatively. Not loudly. Just woven into the way they move through everyday life.

Into their patience. Their confidence. Their gentleness. Their resilience.

There’s something beautiful about women who stay grounded in who they are without needing to prove it constantly ✨

some days my faith feels strong…

and some days it feels quiet.

not gone. not lost. just… softer.

still there. still holding on— even when I don’t have the answers.

I’ve learned that faith doesn’t always look bold.

sometimes it looks like getting up and trying again.

sometimes it looks like whispering a prayer and hoping that’s enough.

trusting God a little more today than yesterday. holding on… even when it’s hard.

that kind of faith matters too.

I made this “Just Believe” tee for those in-between moments—

the quiet ones. the unseen ones. the ones where you’re still trusting, even if no one else notices.

🤍 if you needed this today… keep it close.

Still Rising

Not every moment feels strong.

Some days feel like you’re starting over… like you’re trying again in the same place.

I’ve felt that more times than I can count.

But falling doesn’t mean you’re finished.

It doesn’t cancel your growth. It doesn’t erase how far you’ve come.

Sometimes… it’s part of becoming.

“I will rise” isn’t about perfection.

It’s about getting back up— with faith, with grace, and the quiet strength to keep going.

Even now. Especially now.

Serving God Isn’t Small—It’s Sacred

I used to think serving had to look big to matter.

Loud impact. Visible results. Recognition.

But this verse has been sitting with me lately… and it’s been shifting everything.

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord.” – Ephesians 6:7

That means the quiet things count too. The unseen moments. The things no one claps for.

Showing up when you’re tired. Choosing patience when it’s hard. Doing the right thing when no one’s watching.

That’s sacred.

Serving isn’t about being noticed— it’s about being faithful.

And I’m learning that the small things? They were never small to begin with.

✨ What does serving God look like in your life right now? ✨ Where are you being called to show up, even if no one sees it?

For God I Serve: The Quiet Strength of a Woman Walking in Faith

Some acts of service are loud and seen. Others are quiet… and often overlooked.

But God sees all of it.

This post is for the woman who serves with heart—whether in church, in her community, or in the everyday spaces no one applauds. The patience, the kindness, the strength it takes to keep showing up… it matters more than the world may ever realize.

Serving isn’t just something you do. It’s something God uses to shape who you are becoming.

Through faith, even the smallest acts become meaningful. Even the unseen moments become worship.

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.” — Ephesians 6:7

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you do truly matters… this is your reminder:

It does. And it never goes unseen.

When You're learning To Stand Again:

Some seasons don’t break you all at once. They wear you down slowly—piece by piece, prayer by prayer.

And then one day you realize you don’t feel as strong as you used to.

If you’re learning how to stand again… not the way you did before, but stronger in a different way— this is your reminder:

Even when you felt unsteady, God never stepped away. He was still holding you. What’s one small way God’s carried you lately? https://www.etsy.com/listing/4467625098/christian-hoodie-for-women-dove-faith

Faith Was Never Meant to Be a Performance:

Sometimes encouragement can start to sound like pressure.

“Just have more faith.” “Push through.” “Pray harder.”

Most of the time those words are meant kindly. People want to remind someone that God is strong and that faith will carry them through.

But when someone is already walking through a heavy season, encouragement without compassion can begin to feel more like judgment than love.

When we look at the life of Jesus, we see something different.

Again and again, He met people exactly where they were — not where others thought they should be.

The weary. The hurting. The overlooked.

He sat with them. He listened to them. And He spoke with patience and kindness.

Jesus never demanded perfection before offering love.

God’s grace has always worked differently than pressure. It meets us in weakness, walks beside us in difficult seasons, and reminds us that we were never meant to carry life alone.

Sometimes the most Christlike encouragement we can offer someone isn’t a push to move faster.

Sometimes it’s simply the quiet reminder:

God’s love is already with you, right where you are.

And that kind of grace can carry a weary heart farther than pressure ever could.

You’re Still Showing Up — Just Differently

There are seasons when gathering feels natural. And there are seasons when smaller spaces feel safer.

At-home prayer is still prayer. Online worship is still worship. Quiet faith is still faith.

God has never measured devotion by proximity. Faith isn’t about where you sit — it’s about where your heart leans.

If your showing up looks different right now, you haven’t stepped away. You may just be walking through a softer rhythm.

And that still counts. 🤍

If you’ve been navigating faith in a quieter season, I hope this encourages you today.

God, I’m Here: Finding Faith in Quiet Seasons

There are seasons when faith feels loud. And seasons when it barely whispers.

I’m learning that “showing up” doesn’t always look like a pew. Sometimes it’s coffee. Quiet. A steady breath.

Sometimes it’s just this: God, I’m here.

Even in the darkest places — You are there. (Psalm 23:4)

[notjustaserverdesign]

You're Not drifting - You're Recovering:

If your faith feels quieter right now, don’t panic. You’re not drifting—you’re recovering. God isn’t impatient with your healing. This is your reminder that resting seasons are still sacred seasons.

Faith With a Broken Leg: When Believing Feels Slower Than It Used To: Sometimes faith doesn’t look strong. It looks quiet. Slower. Resting. This reflection is for the woman who is still believing — but needs space to heal. If your worship looks different right now, if you’re showing up online instead of in person, if your faith feels tucked away instead of loud… you are not failing. You are healing. There is no deadline on grief. No spiritual medal for pushing through pain. Only grace — steady and present — even here.

I Used to Think Showing Up Meant Sitting in a Building: I used to think showing up meant sitting in a building. But sometimes, all we have in us is logging into Zoom just to stay connected. Sometimes faith looks like a quiet screen, a muted mic, and doing the best we can with the strength we have left. We want to be faithful. We want to gather. But the guilt of not physically being there can weigh heavy — mentally and emotionally. And still, deep down, we know this: No matter where or how we attend, we are still connected. Sometimes Zoom isn’t a shortcut. Sometimes it’s survival. And sometimes survival is the most faithful thing we can offer. <#faithinprivate #slowfaith #christianwomen #griefandfaith #showingup /#HealingSeason #FaithInGrief #BurnoutRecovery #SpiritualGrowth #WomenOfFaith #GraceOverGuiltp>

Is Faith Still Faith When You Can’t Show Up Like You Used To?

Faith doesn’t disappear in hard seasons. Sometimes it just gets quieter. Slower. More private. If your faith right now looks like Zoom church, staying home, and doing only what you have the strength to do — you’re not failing. You’re surviving. Grace doesn’t require you to show up the same way forever. Sometimes faith rests while we heal. Have you ever been through a season like this? If so will you please share some thought/experiences?

[notjustaserverdesign]

When Faith Looks Different Than It Used To:

Faith doesn’t always look like full pews and lifted hands. Sometimes it looks like logging into church online. Sometimes it looks like holding coffee in silence and letting God meet you there.

This is a reminder for the woman who still believes—but needs gentleness right now. Your faith is not failing. It’s adapting.

You are still held. 🤍

When Faith Becomes the Anchor

When life feels heavy, faith isn’t something extra — it’s what holds us steady. This short reflection is for the hard days, the quiet prayers, and the moments when trusting God feels like the bravest thing we can do.
