Donation to the Pregnancy Resource Center in St. Cloud MN

I had the joy of donating some tags to the Pregnancy Resource Center.  They are such a wonderful, loving service that help so many people.  They go above and beyond for their clients.
The mission of Pregnancy Resource Center is to share the love of Jesus Christ by preserving the lives of unborn children and meeting the specific physical, emotional and spiritual needs of their clients through medical, educational and counseling services.

These are tags that Kim made that I was able to donate.

Donation to the Crestwood Center

Donation to the Crestwood Center in Loving Memory of Marion Reed

It was such a joy today to be able to bring over a donation of cards and bookmarks to the Crestwood Center in Milford, NH. My Nana passed away there on March 17th. 

I would like to personally thank all the staff members there who provided such kind care to Nana for the nearly three years she was there. 

Special thanks also to Lynette, the Recreational Director, there for so lovingly interacting with her, the other lovely residents, as well as the special kindness she has shown to my family and I. Thanks going out to her as well for helping to facilitate this donation. 
 
Our lovely Carol Jean Blakely made all of the cards and tags donated today. She is such a shining example of God’s love. God has truly blessed the work of her hands over and over, and this is no exception. This donation means so very much to me, and it would not have been possible without the love poured into these items by our sweet CJ. 
 
May God richly bless all the staff, as well as the residents at Crestwood. While we do miss my Nana so much, we do take great comfort in knowing that she is now rejoicing in Heaven, and in peace there. We cherish the promises in Scripture that tell us that indeed, one day, we will all be reunited again. 
 
God bless and much love,
Kim

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Did you find me?

We love to ‘drop’ small pieces of art in public places for people to find. Between March 5th and March 8th, twelve of these beautiful cards were dropped in Milford, NH. Three at a doctor’s office, three at the Dollar Tree, and six at Walgreens. On March 8th, three were dropped at Michaels in Amherst, NH.

Who made this for you? Her name is CJ. She lives in TX. So, why on earth would someone from TX make cards for people in NH? The best way I know to sum it up is this: she loves God and people. She loves my corner of the world as much as she loves hers.
So, why did she make this for you? She wants you to be encouraged. She wants you to know that no matter where you find yourself in life, God is here for you and loves you like no other.
To learn more about how God can change your life, please scroll to the bottom of the page.
What a thought it is that from so far away, CJ was thinking of YOU! She is full of wisdom, faith, trust, determination, and perseverance. Come what may, she faithfully serves the God she loves with her whole heart.  She has done much to contribute to this ministry. Thank you CJ!!! We love and appreciate you so much! 

CJ is currently facing a hardship. Would you whisper a prayer for her? Thank you!

Would you like to share what this meant to you? Do you need prayer about something? It would be a joy to hear from you! Please feel free to write in! 

CJ has beautifully written some sweet fictional stories of what she imagines has happened to some of these cards, bookmarks, and tags. Please see her page here for some fun reading! Remember, Jesus loves you, and we do too!

Blessings,
Kim

Teaming With Crocheted Mats For The Homeliss

A Godly, sweet woman here in our ministry is involved in an outreach to show God’s love to the homeless. She and her group lovingly make mats for these precious people out of plastic grocery bags, and WOW, you seriously need to see them! Much effort is put into this, as it takes 700 bags to make ONE! Karo is such a special lady, and has given us much inspiration. In spite of health challenges, she devotes herself whole heartedly to this ministry, and what a testament to her character! She loves as Jesus does! We have included some photos here of mats that were previously made…aren’t they gorgeous?! If you would like to see more of what she does, log into fb and see: Crotched Mats for Homeless. You will be SO inspired! What a heart after God Karo has! Please pray for her and her ministry. Just phenomenal! 

Karo’s ministry inspired me to make these cards to assist in her efforts to minister to those who found themselves homeless after Hurricane Michael. We are reaching out to men, women, children, and veterans. These are a sample. 

I would like to ask you to please pray that God will bless Karo and her group, all the recipients of the mats and cards, and that through His word, He will heal hearts and draw people to Himself. We KNOW from God’s word that there is much power in prayer! We would so appreciate prayers for this big project! God is on the move, and when He is…look out! Much love to all! <3

When Life Happens

Hi Friends,

It’s been a long time since I’ve been actively involved the ministry, so I feel like I'd like to share something from my heart.

Last year, I found myself in a place of deep sorrow following a family crisis.  It completely blindsided me. I was in despair and trying to carry my burdens without God’s help.

I lost sight of the goodness of God.  I was a mess.  My Grandfather used to say to me all the time…”No matter how bad something is, God will always pull something good out of it”.  I lost sight of that too.

My circumstances have not changed.  In fact, I am now facing unexpected health issues, and the struggles in my family continue.  God didn’t change my circumstances, but He is changing me!  I am finally placing those struggles at Jesus’ feet and leaving them there.

I am enjoying life again.  The despair is gone.  My outlook is completely joy-filled, and God is putting my broken heart back together.  Only He can do that!

I’ve learned so many things during this season of my life.  One is that God loves me even when I’m a mess.  His love never changes.  Two, I cannot carry my burdens alone.  They’re too heavy, and Jesus promised to take our burdens and give us rest.  I will share the Scripture below.

Are you in the midst of sorrow?  Have things in your life broken your heart?  Do you feel alone and wonder how you’ll get through each day?  I want to tell you that there is HOPE!  Hope has a name, and His name is Jesus!  Also, the Bible says that He is no respecter of persons.  What does that mean?  It means that we all find ourselves in a mess sometimes, and if God can heal me, He can heal your heart too!

Looking forward to the next chapter of Drops of Faith Art Ministries in 2019!  May God richly bless you, and always remember…you are loved, you are valuable, you are not alone, your tears matter to God, and you can find rest for your soul in Him. 

If you wish to request prayer, please see the space provided to do so right here. Our team is more than happy to pray on your behalf, and any request will be confidential.  Don’t be shy!  Much love to all of you!  I will close with these precious words from Scripture that Jesus spoke:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For, My yoke is easy, and My burden is light”.

Matthew 11:28-30
