Jesus is coming soon, friends!
What a hope, no matter the state of the world.
And if you don’t have that hope, now’s the perfect time to find it. Read the gospel of John and hear it for yourself.
Do not fear, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King is coming! -John 12:15

Happy Palm Sunday!
When I was in first grade in a tiny one-room mountain schoolhouse, I memorized the twenty-third Psalm. In King James English. And those words – six verses filled with unmatched richness – have always stayed with me through the ups and downs, the blessings and trials of life.
Incredibly, this divinely inspired poetry, written by a shepherd boy turned king, who faced down wild beasts, imposing giants, and fierce enemy armies, is just as meaningful and comforting to us today, thousands of years after it was first penned.
Solid truth that never changes and reminds us that our God is in control. Always and forever.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Oh, friends, let’s fix our eyes on the Shepherd, no matter where He leads us in this rapidly changing world. He is faithful. He is with us, and if we are His, He has promised to never leave us. What comfort. What hope!
Trusting the Shepherd moment by moment and sending so much love to you!

Do you have a word for the year?
It can be a simple way to focus on one overall goal or theme as you purpose to live each day with intention. Honestly, I always have a hard time choosing just one word. I ended up writing down thirty one of my favorites, one for each day of the month.
Then I matched the words with verses (with lots of help from my sweet husband) and created a brand new Words Of The Year Perpetual Scripture Calendar, which I’m thrilled to finally get to share with you!
So many of you loved the Advent Cards Calendar I did for Christmas, that I had a hard time keeping it in stock. Which gave me the idea to create one that could be used and enjoyed all year. It’s perfect for using every month, even from year to year, and such an easy and beautiful way to focus on truth in bite-size pieces.
You can find them in the Hope Ink shop here >
NEW ART PRINTS
I’ve also added several new art prints to the shop, including the Words of The Year series and a soft and sweet Monogram collection.
And I’d love to hear if there’s a special verse or word that you’d like to have made into a design. Let me know, and I’ll add it to my (always growing) list. There’s also an option to CHOOSE YOUR OWN WORD with the Words of The Year prints, which is a fun way to personalize you or a friend’s wall.
Hey Friend, I hope you know how thankful I am for you and what a privilege it is to share bits of inspiration and beauty – whether you live down the road or halfway around the world. I truly “thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers.” And I hope these FREE CHRISTMAS PRINTABLES bring some joy and cheer as you wrap up the year!
I also had to let you know that I was able to add some of my super limited edition MINI PRINT ORNAMENTS to the shop! These always disappear lightning fast at the local markets when I have them, but this year I was able to make a few for a little last minute flash sale for my online friends.
I just posted them in the Hope Ink shop, so go quick! Most of them only have 1 or 2 available of each design. These are perfect for last minute gifts or stocking stuffers. Each one has a tiny gold or silver star with 2019 engraved on it, making a sweet and fitting end-of-the-year gift as well.
There’s also a handful of the ADVENT CARD SETS back in stock that many of you have asked about. I’m not sure if I’ll be printing any more, so now’s your chance to snag these!
Starting now through Friday at midnight, everything is 20% off in the shop (and all orders over $75 ship for free) –no coupon codes needed.
Merry Christmas, friends!
