Hope Inspired Art
Moving to Florida was exciting at first, especially since I visited nine different gulf beaches within my first month! I have always loved the beach and it's been a place where I feel closer to God. Something about breathing in ocean air, watching the waves, feeling the sand... it fills my soul and gives me peace. How can someone sit on the beach and look out into the vast ocean and not be humbled in spirit and overwhelmed with thankfulness?
After being here for a period, I started feeling a little homesick and started praying about God's purpose for me here. What do I do now? At some point, the thoughts of starting my own small business with seashells came up. Kinda makes sense as I love to
shell hunt, and now I can like never before. At first, the business idea seemed like a joke, you know "Cheryl sells seashells by the seashore," but then the ideas began to take shape.
So to make a long story short about how I started Low Tide Joy, the simplest version is, I love the beach and I love Jesus. I wanted to combine the tangible signs of God's splendor with His Truth, and offer it in a unique way to bring glory and honor to Him. My prayer is that the art will be beautiful reminders that God loves you and will bring you joy.
