In God We Trust

I've been wanting to show you this bracelet I bought in New York a few months ago.  I was waiting for it's arrival as I had left it behind to be engraved.  The engraving style is typical of this designer hence the need to not bring it home for Mr Minit!  I know most people won't love it but I love it for a number of reasons:

• The bracelet is hand made by a designer called 'In God We Trust'.  I was told that they used this name initially because they originally made jewellery out of american coins which has 'In God We Trust' on them.  The most obvious thing to have engraved is my initials, but if you know me then this is not something I would do!  M and I thought it would be good to engrave it with the designer's branding and to remind me of the leap of faith taken to travel on my own and God's provision of the means and time to go.
• I am not good at choosing or wearing jewellery, however this piece appealed to me - something I can wear with just about anything.
• It's a good reminder for me to go back to basics (note the simplicity of the bracelet) and trust in God who will sustain me during this period of change, especially as I continue to look for a job and remember to be thankful for this time off.
