Prayer Ritual - "I AM" Faith Cross Scarf

My "I AM" Faith Cross Scarfs include 3 crosses in the design representing the Trinity.  

This scarf is extremely important to me because it was the answer to my prayers. Let me explain.

For several years I asked the Lord to give me something that I could create to glorify Him. As a fiber weaver and knitwear designer at the time, I tried desperately to create things with crosses or His Word, but without fiber design success. `When I would pray asking for His blessing, my heart kept hearing, “I AM”… “I AM”…

While visiting family in North Carolina, I attended the local Weaver's Guild event with an international silk dyer. Now at that time, I absolutely did not want anything to do with silk, but I fell in love with the instructor and her dyes and happily bought a kit.....ready to go home and make more silk to incorporate into my weavings. Or so I thought....

Yep, lost the kit.........moved into two temporary houses in 3 years....still didn't find the kit, but I didn't care because the silk was going to be used as an accent fiber in my weavings.

We finally moved into our house, and you guessed it...found the kit while setting up my studio. I decided to make a few scarves, but when I went to create them, it had been 3 years since the class and I couldn't remember how she made her really neat designs. So I decided I was on my own and I would just play and create my own designs for my silk weaving strips. 

After I made a few, showed my husband, Dave, and our conversation went something like this…...

"Babe, I finished a couple of scarves to rip into 1” strips, what do you think of the colors?"..."The colors are nice, but I love the cross."...."What?"...."The cross, I really like it, how are you going to use it?"...."What are you talking about? There's no cross." ....."The one you put right there".... "Babe, I didn't design a cross"..."Yes you did"...."No I didn't."  He got off the couch and pointed the cross out to me. The second I saw the cross I felt this wave come over me … “I AM.”  

From that moment I knew the Lord had created His plan for me more than 3 years prior from the class… to getting into a larger house to handle the silk needs... to losing the kit for 3 years so that I forgot someone else’s designs and was able to create His cross.

I felt humbled that He gave me such a gift, and SOOOO frustrated with myself that I had constantly prayed asking the Lord for a gift rather than fully trusting Him by changing my prayers to THANK Him for the blessing that was to come in His time.

 

My Cross Scarf Prayer Ritual

  • As I make the 1st cross, representing the Father, I pray giving thanks and praise to the Lord.
  • As I create the 2nd cross, representing His Son, I ask for the person receiving the scarf to be blessed in their needs according to His will. 
  • When I create the 3rd cross, representing the Holy Spirit, I ask the Holy Spirit to guide my prayer; at times it's extremely specific and other times it seems almost playful.

 

Women of faith enjoy these scarves because it allows them to blend faith and fashion in a beautiful and personal way. Some crosses are very visible, and others are created into the design. 

Women with medical needs have a special connection with these scarves, as I found out myself. When you're going through testing, procedures, and even surgeries where you can't wear your metal cross or crucifix....you CAN wear your silk cross.  

Special Prayer Requests: When you purchase one through my website or in person, you can request a specific prayer request for someone and I will have a special intention prayer for that very special scarf. 

I hope that you'll feel and embrace His love every time you touch, hold or wear your scarf. But please don't let that stop you from taking this scarf and adding your own additional prayers.
