Friends! Today I am
so excited to introduce you to a lovely company called Here
Below.
Here Below designs
beautiful and super comfortable Christian t-shirts. Their goal is to inspire a
life of authenticity, adventure and grace. More than that though their aim is
to share the gospel. I can attest that through collaborating with them they
live that statement out. Even through this collab they have encouraged me in my walk with Christ and to be more intentional with the gospel.
Partnering with
companies who love Christ and promote the gospel is something I'm really
thankful I get to do through blogging.
I have to let you
in on two things:
First off, Here
Below's name is a reference from the Doxology. Do you know it?
Praise God from whom all Blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye heavenly host.
Praise, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Secondly, I must
admit to you that for many years I did not like that song. Not because it isn't
a good song (it is). You see, I attended a Christian school for 2 years and I
had a really really hard time there. And guess what we sang every day at
chapel? The doxology! So whenever I heard that song those memories came to
mind.
But God is good you
guys and He has a way of redeeming things and turning them around.
Fast forward a few
years down the road and I got married. And my husband Dave likes to sing at
home and what did he start singing? The Doxology. Then one night before dinner
he said "let's sing The Doxology together before we pray." (I know,
it's probably weird to sing randomly before prayer but we do it anyways.) And
now about twice a week we bust out that song, and I like it, a lot.
I share that story
to tell you that God has a way of redeeming and healing past hurts. He has done
it through salvation and he has done it over and over in my Christian walk.
When Seth, from Here Below, asked me what shirts I'd like that is the big
reason I picked the 'beauty from ashes' shirt because that slogan is me. Christ
has taken the ashes of my life and turned them into something beautiful that
only He could do!
I must tell you about the shirts themselves!
They are beautiful and super super comfortable. I traveled Thailand and Myanmar
in them and they definitely passed the test! Here Below was helpful in making
sure I had the correct size so if you have any questions be sure to ask
them.
You do know Christmas is right around the corner
too, right? These would make wonderful gifts!
Today Here Below and I are partnering together
to give you a shirt of your choice and I'll be sending you a fun souvenir from
Myanmar. I'm actually going to let the winner pick what souvenir they would
like and they will get an e-mail from me with a few different options.
The good news is that this giveaway is open
internationally! Wahoo!
If you have more questions just let me know.
I like this shirt because it's nice and love this colour

We just started a women's Bible study called JOY - so I love the "Joy of the Lord is my strength" shirt :)
ReplyDeleteMy family totally did the whole "sing a random song before a prayer at dinner" thing too! Not always, but sometimes. :) I look forward to continuing that with our kiddos someday. And I love to hear how this song was redeemed for you! :)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I'd choose the Soli Deo Gloria tank. Love, love!
I love the "Go Into All the World" shirt because it's a personal statement for me. I've been able to go to Vietnam once and China 3 times to share the gospel.
ReplyDeletei love all of the little shops you find!! :) i would love the blue beauty from dust shirt!
ReplyDeleteI love the go unto all the world shirt. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the "Worthy is the Lamb" shirt.
ReplyDeleteWe sang the doxology often before a meal as our prayer. I have such fond memories of everyone coming home for Thanksgiving and I can still hear all of the voices and parts singing together. I like the joy of the Lord shirt and the punk beauty one.

ReplyDeleteSo neat! I love both colors of the Beauty from dust shirt, as well as so many of the others! I have actually been eyeing these since they popped up on my feed a few weeks ago when you "liked" them. Haha! Thanks for doing a giveaway! It's amazing you are doing one from Myanmar! Miss you guys, and praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI like the "Beauty from dust" shirt that you are wearing most of all. It's a simple but powerful message.
ReplyDeleteI like the Joy of the Lord shirt! It's a good reminder for me :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, you look so cute in the shirt! I love your braids :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely missed the giveaway but I'm going to have to check them out for myself. I can totally see how the doxology can bring back bad memories; I have a few things like that from a school I had a really hard time at. We sing the doxology at the end of church every week and I love it! We may have to start singing it at home randomly too! :)
