Unplugging to go Deeper

Hey Hey and Happy New Year!  Yep, I know that January is almost out but this is my first post of the year and I just wanted to share that I'm excited for all that God has planned this year!  Well, I've been a bit quiet ON PURPOSE -- which I like to call my Divine Retreats (you'll be hearing more about these soon) and back in mid December I just felt a strong conviction to push pause and unplug to simply get in the presence of God.  I felt this stirring that I was getting a bit off course and wasn't as focused as I needed to be.

Let Go & Let Flow :: Learning to Get Out of God's Way
Let Go & Let Flow :: Learning to Get Out of God's Way

God is calling for us to let go so that he can flow in our lives.

Gift Truth This Mother's Day - The Faith Source Shop

Hey Hey Friends!  Super excited to share that I've re-opened my shop - THE FAITH SOURCE SHOP.  When I first started this journey in 2012, I was solely sewing and making products (branded under Chamel's Creations) showcasing scripture and inspiration to help women wear and share their faith.  And over time, God has grown me and my brand to include mentoring women and creating Biblical infused resources to help them grow in their faith journey.  Truly blessed to be walking out my purpose!
