❤️Today, I want to share something that God has been stirring in my heart for quite some time.
The truth is, I haven’t been okay for a long time.
I have fallen short.
I am a sinner in need of God’s grace every single day.
Over the years, I slowly realized that I had built much of my foundation on things that were never meant to carry the weight of my soul. Relationships. Accomplishments. Jobs. Possessions. Control. Even unhealthy ways of coping when life became too heavy.
I said I trusted God, but if I’m honest, I was still trying to hold the reins.
I wanted God to bless my plans.
I wanted God to fit into the life I had designed.
I wanted control.
And eventually, everything I thought would hold me up began to crumble.
The life I thought I had.
The plans I thought would work.
The control I thought I possessed.
The picture I had created of how my story should unfold.
Piece by piece, it was stripped away.
I found myself crushed, humbled, broken, and face-to-face with a truth I had spent years avoiding:
Jesus was never meant to be part of my foundation. He is meant to be THE FOUNDATION.
In my brokenness, I have discovered something beautiful. The things of this world cannot save me. They cannot heal my soul. They cannot give me lasting peace.
Only Christ can.
Only Christ can bring hope in suffering.
Only Christ can bring peace in chaos.
Only Christ can save my soul.
And the more I try to save myself, the more I realize I never could.
There have been moments when the pain felt overwhelming, when I could not understand why God would allow certain trials, losses, and heartaches. Yet even here, His Word reminds me:
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” — Romans 8:18
So in this season, I have made a choice.
I choose surrender.
Not because surrender is easy.
But because I have finally realized it is the only path to the freedom, love, healing, and peace my heart has always been searching for.
As I have been rebuilding my life upon Christ, I found myself creating visual reminders of God’s truth. Images that spoke to my own heart when words alone seemed difficult to grasp. Images that helped me meditate on Scripture, understand God’s promises more deeply, and draw closer to Him.
I didn’t create these images because my faith was strong. I created them because I was trying to strengthen it.
What began as something personal has become something I now feel called to share.
Because maybe I’m not the only one who feels broken.
Maybe I’m not the only one who is struggling.
Maybe I’m not the only one who needs daily reminders of God’s grace.
My prayer is that these creations help others the way they have helped me.
That they encourage the weary.
Strengthen the struggling.
Comfort the hurting.
And point people back to the One who never fails.
I don’t want faith to be something we visit on Sunday.
I want it to become Alive.
Active.
Transforming.
A living relationship with Jesus that changes the way we think, live, love, and endure.
And if you’re searching, struggling, rebuilding, or simply longing for something deeper—
‼️Would you join me?
🎉Today, I am honored to introduce Sword & Sparrow.🎉
The Sword represents the Word of God:
“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” — Ephesians 6:17
God’s Word is our weapon against fear, anxiety, lies, discouragement, and the struggles we face every day. It brings truth, hope, wisdom, and life.
The Sparrow represents God’s loving care for His children:
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.” — Matthew 10:29
The sparrow reminds us that even the smallest, most overlooked person is precious to God.
If God sees every sparrow, how much more does He see you?
He sees your struggles.
He sees your tears.
He sees your questions.
He sees your battles.
You are never forgotten.
Together, the Sword and the Sparrow tell a beautiful story:
Strength and gentleness.
Truth and grace.
Standing firm while resting in His care.
Sword & Sparrow exists to help bring Scripture to life through faith-based artwork, Bible tip-ins, devotionals, and creative resources designed to encourage hearts and draw people closer to Christ.
This is more than art.
This is ministry.
This is testimony.
This is an invitation to walk alongside me as we learn to trust God more deeply, surrender more fully, and discover the life that is found only in Him.
❤️Welcome to Sword & Sparrow.❤️
⚔️ Strength in His Word.
🕊️ Rest in His Care.
“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” — Ephesians 6:10
All my love,
Sarah
