Made a birthday gift for a special girl.

Before I graduated in May, I started stinging bracelts as a de-stressor. When I started, I learned that it didn’t take me long to string a bracelet, and I got to use my creative side. It is a way to bring cute, stylish, bracelets without breaking the bank. Because I don’t know about you, but I love a certain brand of bracelets, but I also don’t have $60 to spend on one set of bracelets.

Then, I set a goal to pay for my grad school books. Little did I know, that goal would turn into paying for a very unplanned and unexpected surgery for the oldest. I am so grateful that I have the ability to still help provide {even if in a small way} while managing this circus we have going on over here.

All that to say, when you purchase from a small biz, it really does go towards kids sports, or doctor bills, or this fee, or that fee. It doesn’t go towards the next vacation home.

Thank you from the very bottom of my heart to all that have supported this journey. Stringing bracelets was never in the sites for me, but I am loving every minute of it.

It has been crazy around here these last few weeks between the middle baby’s birthday, finals, graduation, Mother’s Day, and all of the stuff in between.

I PROMISE I have not forgotten about you all, and there are some fun things coming. I’m hoping to have everything posted by Wednesday.

In July of 2021, I shared that I made the decision to slow down on the business front and finish school.

On Saturday, May 11, I will walk the stage with my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology, and will start Grad school in July.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support Fos 4 throughout the journey.

I have received some inquiries regarding the varying prices of my bracelet stacks and why some are more expensive.

I aim to provide you with affordable bracelet stacks while earning a little extra for my Graduate school expenses.

Let me explain.

I string all these bracelets and do not purchase pre-made bracelets. The price of each bracelet stack varies depending on the type of beads and charms used. I use a lot of glass beads, which are more expensive. Additionally, the price of each set depends on the number of bracelets included.

I hope this clarifies.

It is Sunday!

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”
-Matthew 28:6

It’s Sunday.

Mary Magdalene and some friends head to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body. When they arrive the stone is rolled away.

The tomb is empty.

An Angel appears and tells them - Don’t be afraid. I know you’re looking for Jesus but he isn’t here. He’s risen from the dead, just as he promised he would.

A risen Jesus has walked out.

Fearful but joyful all the same, the women go to tell the disciples as instructed.

Along the way Mary encounters Jesus. Jesus assures her - don’t be afraid. He sends her back on her way to inform the disciples.

Mary finds the disciples and insists Jesus is alive. They’re doubtful. But, just as he said he would, Jesus reveals himself to the disciples.

He gives them these instructions - go out unto the nations and preach the good news. Teach them to obey the commandments I have given. Those who believe will be saved and those who refuse to believe will be condemned. And remember, I am with you always.

Jesus ascends into Heaven. He sits down at the right hand of the father. He remains there today.

Death couldn’t handle him.
The grave couldn’t hold him.

He’s alive. Risen. King of kings. Lord of lords.

A promise fulfilled.

Do you know him?

Today is Sunday. Thank you Jesus, for Sunday.

It's Saturday.

But Sunday is coming.

It’s Saturday.

A dark day. A day of grieving. Mourning.

The religious leaders pay another visit to Pilate.

They remind him that, before Jesus died, he told them he would rise from the dead after three days.

A request is made for Pilate to send guards to protect the tomb. They’re afraid Jesus’ disciples will steal his body and falsely claim he rose from the dead.

Pilate grants their request.

They arrive back at the tomb, seal it, and post guards to protect it.

But what they don’t know just yet is -

A stone can’t stop the rock.

It’s Saturday. But Sunday is coming.
