"I always thought I had a boring testimony. Grew up in church... had Christian parents for as long as I can remember… got saved at a fairly young age. So typical, so boring. I always secretly wished that I had had some riveting story of being a criminal in the past and having this incredible salvation story that would have everyone captivated at a Bible study. But clearly that wasn’t God’s plan for me. He blessed me with parents who taught me the Bible day in and day out. They told me about my sin and need for a savior, and in my early teens I made their faith my own and fell in love with Christ and what He had done for me. But as I looked over this question and a million thoughts ran through my head, one struck me by surprise. I was *just* as lost as the criminal who turned from their wicked ways. I was *just* as lost as a tribal man in South Africa. I was *just* as lost as a Hindu in India and a Muslim in Turkey. I needed a savior no less than anyone else, and it is just as amazing that God would choose to save a wicked, dark person like me. Though I don’t remember the specific date or time I was saved, I don’t really need to. Having a great story isn’t what saved me. Plus, I do have a great story… God left the heavens, bore my shame, suffered and died to save me! How much more incredible can it get!?!?! I still fail Him all the time, but as I get older I grow closer and closer to Him. I want to serve Him with my life and gifts, and give Him my everything… Just as He gave me His everything."

Cuties in Cudjoe: Part 2

Our second day in the Keys Grandpa took us to his favorite local diner, "The Galley Grill". I've decided they have the best atmosphere and blueberry pancakes. Is there really a better way to start your day in paradise?

Then we walked next door to the hardware store and took photos in front of this wall because we never miss out on a photo opportunity. 

Then we drove around to lots of little shops and drooled over all the cute tropical things. 

We went back to Grandpa's for the rest of the afternoon and chilled by the pool. 

(Grandpa is the coolest interior decorator and his whole house is a work of art)

But really. Is your Grandpa's house so cool that it has it's own merchandise? We all got "The Coop Casa" hats and have tshirts on the way!

So cas. 

Grandpa decided we needed to head into the city (Key West) to eat dinner and watch the sunset that night. 

He's sah cute 

When we got home us girls went up to the stargazing deck and laid there and watched the sky and talked about the most random things and laughed till we cried. This was probably one of my favorite nights from the trip.

3 Years of Hannah Everly

(this post was written yesterday)

Three years ago today I made the spontaneous decision to open my etsy shop, and that decision honestly changed my life. 

Here are some photos my friends posted on Instagram throughout the day! Don't I have an amazing squad?!?! ;)

It makes me feel so happy and blessed to read through all of those and see all the photos. :') It feels like it's my birthday and these are the best gifts I could ever ask for!!!

So... today felt like a big giant hug. Thanks so much for all the amazing comments, emails, messages, and texts. I can't tell you how much it all means to me. Last night I was stressed and overwhelmed and ready to throw in the towel, but all your encouragement today made a world of difference. Sure I've had people say hurtful things, but you know what? The positive outweighs the negative x 1,000. You guys keep me going and I wouldn't have made it 3 years without you. So here's to the future... Can't wait to see what happens, and can't wait to experience it all with you!! #3yearsofhannaheverly
