About

Blessings and Welcome to Breaking Bread Designs.  

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect.

Many of us know what it's like to carry grief, wrestle with anxiety, question our direction, or simply long for a little more hope. Sometimes encouragement comes through a conversation, through a Bible verse that speaks at exactly the right moment, or sometimes through a simple reminder we see.

That's the heart behind Breaking Bread Designs.

What began as a creative outlet during a season of grief gradually evolved into a way of expressing the hope and encouragement found through faith in Jesus. As that journey continued, so did the desire to create designs for others navigating life's challenges while discovering the hope found in Christ—designs people can relate to, wear as something personal, and share with those around them. Designs that encourage, start conversations, and quietly point back to God's promises.

Whether you've followed Jesus for years, or like myself, you're exploring faith for the first time, or you're simply looking for encouragement during a difficult season, I hope these designs become quiet reminders of God's promises, wherever you are on your journey.

Thank you for being here.

A Poem dedicated to all who have grieved..

THROUGH THE VALLEYS (inspired by Footprints)

I dreamed I walked a shadowed land,
Through valleys deep and mountains grand.
The path was dark, my soul in fear,
Grief and loss were walking near.

At times I saw two paths abide,
The Lord’s with mine, side by side.
Yet in the nights when hope was gone,
I found one trail and still pressed on.

I wept, “O Lord, how can this be?
When death’s cold shadow covers me-
Why leave me here when all is gone,
Through endless nights before the dawn?

He said, “O' My child, I guided you,
Beside still waters, pastures new.
When you saw just one path there,
I carried you through dark despair.”
