Why 'Honeyed Lemons'?
Short version:
Life gives us each lemons daily that we have to learn to deal with but God allows us to receive beautiful words from people that can act like honey to our souls in the midst of life's lemons (Proverbs 16:24) hence: Honeyed Lemons.
Longer version:
Back in 2015, my mental health was one of the 'lemons' of life that I struggled with intensely. Anxiety had me experiencing a constant, low level barrage of thoughts and emotions that made me struggle with my view of myself, the world and others.
As he loves to do, God used the "lemon" of anxiety to draw me to himself after hearing a sermon where the pastor quoted Philippians 4:6 and shared that "in Christ, there is access to a peace that surpasses all understanding".
These were words I'd never heard before and they ignited a hope in me that led me to go back to my room, get on my knees and seek the God I'd heard about my whole life.
I confessed the sins that came to mind, and asked if I could have this peace I'd heard about.
Immediately, His presence filled my room.
In that moment, I understood that God is merciful and loves sinners like me.
This experience marked my life forever.
In time, I learned of the importance of God's Word and its power to heal and transform the mind.
Along with psychotherapy and an incredible community of friends and family, God continues to transform me, mind body and soul through his Word.
He's been helping me shine His light to uplift others through the words He inspires me with to share in my church community and online, and it's the honour of my life to know Him and make Him known.
Why greeting cards?
Proverbs 16:24 says: "Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body."
I'm a words of affirmation girlie and still have thoughtfully written greeting cards from when I was a little one because I cherish the words in them.
I'm also the friend that writes a paragraph in any greeting card I give and so greeting cards seemed perfect!
