As this year comes to a close, so does a chapter of my life. I've poured my heart and soul into the prints and products of Holly Holt Design in the hopes that no woman would ever feel alone in the face of hardship. But it's time to surrender this little business of mine and turn the page to find out what happens next.

Today is the last days to purchase an encouraging print to hang scripture on your walls or a "you are brave" journal to scribble down what's on your heart. It's the last days to gift joy and love to a friend with the reminder to "live in hope" every time they sip their coffee. So, as a final goodbye, my biggest sale ever is happening over in my shop with everything on sale up to 80% off, and once items are gone they will not be restocked. If you have had your eye on something for yourself or a loved one, now is the last opportunity! I cannot say thank you enough for the love you have shown me over the last two years and I cannot wait to see what the future holds in store.

We just wrapped up Week 3 with the Online Bible Study group and I am amazed at what God has done, and is doing, through this community. When this project began, I had two goals in mind: to bring glory to God and to help women know they are not alone during life's waits. Chelsea , Amanda, Courtney, and Heidi shared in this vision bringing their own stories of hope to the table to make this study happen. And now I stand in awe. By the grace of God, we are joining hands with thousands of women around the world who are pursuing the Lord and learning how to actively wait on Him no matter what life throws our way. This is not of our doing, but His. All glory to God for redeeming our stories and making the broken beautiful once more.

3) Most days I can hardly believe the Lord gave me this opportunity with In the Wait and a strong passion for community/helping women just like you and me realize we aren't so alone in waiting and hardships. What once was just a dream has turned into a network of amazing women around the world all for His glory. Thank you for being a part of this community with me and sticking with me through the ups and downs of life 💛 You are awesome.

I saved this beautiful lettering by mid-July, and haven't been able to stop thinking about this quote since. So often I want to skip over the journey and just arrive at the destination because that seems like it would be way easier than living through days, months, or years of waiting. But would that really be better? Honestly, no... There are so many blessings hidden within the waits that I would miss by wishing life away. And I don't want to miss them. Lord, open my eyes and my heart to your daily grace.

PS... Next week, our In The Wait Study online study group begins! If you are in the midst of a season of waiting or are looking for a community of lovely ladies to study Gods Word with, you are invited to join us! More details - hollyholtdesign.com/waitcommunity 💛

"I bought this book months ago, when I was desperately wondering where my life would lead next. And guess what? I'm still waiting to find out. But this study drew me daily to a God who cares about my questions & worries just as faithfully as He reminds me that He has a beautiful plan. The Lord hasn't yet answered my period of waiting with specifics, but He did give me abundant comfort and motivation when I finally learned what it truly means to seek Him." - Jane 💛

"When we live with God at the center and our hope is rooted in Him, something powerful and beautiful happens. It transforms our heart to believe, truly believe, that God knows better than we do. That He can be trusted. He has been faithful in the past, and His faithfulness will only continue."

"There are moments when my gaze shifts from who holds my future to what my future could hold... Yes it's a season of waiting. But, I don't want to just sit around waiting and dreaming of my future but I desire to flourish in this season. To seek God with all my heart, live courageously, serve authentically, love unconditionally, and find joy in every moment. The good news friends is that our God doesn't just have good planned for the future, but for today. Beloved, God is at work in every season. He is continually working for His glory and our good." -

Days like today can be filled with many emotions - highs, lows and just about everything in between. For some, today is special and filled with giggles and joy. For others, it reminds them of loss, a painful season or the grief of what was. Wherever you're at, we pray you feel His immense peace and unfailing love surrounding you today. He sees you and He cares for you, more than you'll ever be able to understand. 💐 || 📷:

Waiting is hard.. Agreed? What if I told you that you are not alone? That there is an entire community ready to welcome you in with open arms as we learn together what it truly means to live life deeply even in the midst of the waiting? This is exactly why we created the In the Wait study, a six week devotional all centered around this topic and we would love to have you join us! It is so encouraging to read through to hear your takeaways, prayer requests, and thoughts so as a community we can come together to claim victory over these seasons. So, what are you waiting for?
