Encouragement Gifts

Encouragement Gifts-2017 Gift-Giving Guide

 

Encouragement Gifts-2017 Gift-Giving Guide

This month we are focusing on how we can give the gift of encouragement to our fellow dreamers. As a dreamer myself, it always means so much when someone gives me a gift that acknowledges that part of who I am. Today I’d like to share some gift ideas with you for the dreamers in your life. (Or yourself!) 🙂

Let’s begin with our ever-so-comfy t-shirts. I have several different ones and can attest to the quality and comfort of each one. The slouchy sweatshirt is so soft I could sleep in it. The long sleeved tee is loose around the middle (which I love!) and long enough to cover my, um…my rear. And all the skinny jeans wearers rejoice! Did you know we have a storefront at TeeSpring? We’ve designed slouchy sweatshirts, long-and-short sleeved v-neck and athletic shirts, and a coffee cup design. All of those are available in a variety of styles and colors (if you click on an individual item it will let you see the other available styles, colors, and sizes) and most are less than $25.

Let’s not forget about the book that started it all, You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream! We’re kicking off the New Year by writing through Holley Gerth’s book, the one that inspired so many of us to chase the dreams that God has for us. We’ll dig in to answer questions such as, How do we know if the dream is from God? and What about my doubts and fears? It’s going to be an exciting series you won’t want to miss! Join us as we read and learn how to discover what we are created to do. Go ahead and get your copy now and you’ll be ready to join us for some great conversations starting in January!

Why Your Stories Matter {And a Fun Giveaway}

August 12, 2016 By Kristin Smith 15 Comments

Letterpress Blocks Dayspring

We have been sharing stories here at God-sized Dreams since early 2014. As a team we knew little about running a website. The technical difficulties of getting it up and running were immense and I remember Christine saying one day she wasn’t sure she could press forward. But she did, we all did, and what came of that hard work and determination was a place where we could come and be encouraged.

I have always loved Christine’s words when she said “We believe one of the ways we see God’s glory is in community. And where better to nurture those callings God has laid on our hearts than in a community of God-sized dreamers? Whether you’re excited and ready to charge full speed ahead or terrified and looking for a bed to hide under — or maybe even somewhere in between — everyone is welcome!”

We always wanted this to be a place of community, because we knew that going it alone…well that just was too much to handle. But together, as a body of believers, we could walk forward knowing we were not alone.

Some of us have set sail on some exciting adventures, and new waters. Others of us have just faithfully walked the path God has called us to even if it didn’t feel big enough or good enough. Did we question Him? Of course! But through the sharing of stories we have found support and laughter, encouragement and even a shoulder to cry on.

We knew that stepping out in faith on our God-sized dreams would require hard work, faith and trust.

One of our favorite parts about this journey has been hearing your stories.

Dreamers from all over the world have submitted pieces for consideration and it has been an honor to be entrusted with your words.

There have been times along my path that I didn’t think I had much to offer, and then one of you, sweet sisters, would send in a post with words that were just the balm my weary soul needed. I think many of us could say that we have been touched by one of the women who have shared here over the past few years.

Thank you.

Seriously, thank you for believing in our site, for sharing our words, and some of your own. For being a cheerleader to many as we all try to navigate this road.

Your words, your stories, matter so much to us.

_____________________________

Our friends over at DaySpring understand just how important words are and have created a line of products that celebrates just that!

The Letterpress Inspirational Words set was created so that you can fill your home with some of your favorite, encouraging words. I have “Blessed” in my home already, a constant reminder whenever I see it that I have so very much to be thankful for.

This Inspirational Words set comes with 15 different letters and the ability to make 11 inspirational words!

Some of my favorites?

Glory – It makes me think of our own Jenn Hand. A word she uses to describe all the ways she sees God’s hand at work in her life.

Letterpress Glory Dayspring

Hope – Reminds me of our sweet Holley Gerth, the original writer of God-sized Dreams and the one who gave hope to us all as she launched her book out into the world.

Letterpress Hope Dayspring

Joy –  Makes me think of one of our newest team additions, Natalie Joy, who is helping women discover and find their joy in the journey of their God-sized Dreams.

Letterpress Joy Dayspring

Light – Embodies what we hope to do here each week. Be a light to one another. Help others find their way to their God-sized Dream. We don’t claim to have it all together here but we do feel called to be a light to a dark world. Each of you is a part of that light and it is what makes our community so special!

Letterpress Joy and Light Dayspring

They also have a second set of Everyday Words that include words like, Dream On, Soar and Family. It is hard to choose which set I like better!

The letters come in different shapes and are easily put together with these metal clips on the back. Just clip together at each letter seam and hang up or stand on a shelf! Easy peasy! The kits also come with some easy instructions that include tips and trick to lining them up and hanging them.

Right now Dayspring is featuring both sets at a more than 50% off discount, and a cost of only $50 each through August 18th!! And with every $50 order, Dayspring ships for free! These are high quality, heavy pieces and worth the investment! What I love most is that you can constantly change your word to fit your life. Maybe “Faith” is your word of the year for 2016, and in 2017 it might be “Live!” What a neat way to celebrate the one word that motivates you towards your God-sized Dream! Also Check out this fun article over at Dayspring that gives ideas on several ways you can use your Letterpress sets!

 

A few tips I discovered putting together the Letterpress Blocks:

  • When placing the letters together with the backs facing up, put together backwards otherwise when you turn it over it will look like this! Oops!! 🙂

Letterpress Glory Backwards Dayspring

  • As a part of the set you will receive a box of clips. They recommend that you use 2 clips per side. Having put together several I would agree. You can make 1 work, but when standing the letters up on a shelf they will not be as solid as when you use 2!

Letterpress Back Dayspring

 

  • Figure out which letter(s) in your word will be your base. This is less important if you are hanging it on the wall, but if you plan to stand it on a shelf you need to make sure that one or more of the letters will balance your entire word!
  • Finally if you have to take the letters apart it is easiest to remove the clips using a long, thin metal tool. I used a staple remover and it worked beautifully. The clips go on and come off tightly. But this is good because you want the words to be sturdy when you are displaying them!

 

I LOVE these sets, and only wished that I had more letters so that I could make even more words. Yes, this is the perfect product that embraces the idea that our words DO matter!

Not By Our Strength But His, T-Shirt Launch

June 18, 2015 By Alecia Simersky Leave a Comment

 

GSDbikesample

 

Hi friends!

Today is the day we let you in on a little secret that we’ve been working on behind the scenes :).

We’ve been working on a t shirt to offer to our readers (and anyone that wants one!) and we couldn’t be more excited! They are only $22, aren’t they adorable? We feel it perfectly captures the essence of what the God-sized Dreams website it all about.

Our website verse is Zechariah 4:6 “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” And our theme has always been about being on a journey.

Some of us have arrived and are looking for the next dream. Some are waiting for God to reveal what the dream is. While others are working full-steam ahead to make the dream happen. Regardless of where you are we hope this shirt will remind you each time you wear it, that it will only be with the help of our Almighty God that we will accomplish anything. (<====Click to Tweet)

Dreaming is hard, we know, and that is why we want to come alongside of you to encourage, pray, and help you remember that you are not alone on this journey.

If you want to join us in wearing our new shirts and supporting this site and each other, you can do so here ==> Not By My Strength T Shirt. They will be available to order until July 8th .

We pray that this shirt will be a reminder that you are one of the team here and we are in this together.
