Heidi from Beauty Among Thorns is here!

Hi, I'm Heidi and I want to give you a glimpse into the person God is creating me to be and the work He is going to do through me.  I was once a mess headed down a destructive road, but He brought me back to the right path, He brought good from my bad decisions and made me a "Beauty Among Thorns" so I ...could go share with other girls their beauty in Christ. I discovered the beauty that he created me to be, and that's why I like to make messy, old items into something beautiful. From your trash to my treasure. From old, antiqued to my inspiration. God takes the pain and thorns of our lives and creates beauty, and turns tears into pearls.

A few years back, I took a trip to LONDON....the place where a new dream was birthed. I saw all these beautiful mirrors walking the streets at night and the more I walked and talked, the more the idea formed.

So many girls, including myself, have such an ugly view of themselves. I first had the idea to take old mirrors and create them into something beautiful so girls would have something beautiful to look into and my prayer is they would start to see themselves as something beautiful because although mess was never in God's original plan, God loves the mess so He can create something beautiful from the mess. Like the verse says "Like a lily among the thorns, so is my darling maiden." Song of Songs 2:2
If we were created in the image of God then we must be beautiful. We look into mirrors daily if not several times daily and so often we have this ugly view of ourselves but we were fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of all beautiful things. My inspiration is to make these so young girls can say, "I am not ugly, I am beautiful. I am unique like every piece on this mirror. I am perfectly made by a God who loves me more than words can describe. I was bought for a price. I was searched and sought after. I am treasured. I am worth far more than rubies. I am priceless. There is no one else like me. I am a lily among the thorns."

From the mirrors, my ideas for accessories expanded to all kinds of accessories with the same message:  Tears into pearls.  Trash into treasure.  Beauty from a mess.
