Here is an original design I created.🖤
A little backstory behind this design -
I’ve spent months holding onto this design. This piece comes from a place of testimony and vulnerability. With that I’ve battled lies that it wasn’t good enough, or there was still “one more tweak” to make it perfect. I feel with the trials people have been facing in 2020 and going into 2021, that maybe the meaning behind it could spark hope in others.
In the last few years, I’ve had my fair share of pain, and “valleys”. Last year there was a dark period, where I was really down on myself with where I was at in life. I had been struggling to accept how far I felt I had fallen. I had fallen into a bad habit of wallowing in my trials… letting them drag me back into depression over and over.
But on one of those really dark days, the Lord laid a clear message on my heart. He told me “In the valley, flowers grow.” It really hit me with how much it applied to me. Through the deepest of my valleys, many “flowers” had begun to bloom, but I hadn’t allowed myself to really see them. When I finally did, I started watering those flowers, and now I’m really beginning to see a whole garden growing for myself.
Jesus replaced my pain with beauty, and in that beauty, he began healing broken pieces of my heart that I hadn’t wanted to touch. My hope is this… for anyone coming out of their valleys feeling broken, that they begin to see flowers growing, and for anyone still in the middle of their valley, I pray that the seeds for your flowers are being planted. While this is just a tee shirt, I hope that the message will serve as a reminder like it was for me.
