I didn't think it would change me this much...
I didn't start making rosaries with some big vision. I was going through a breakup, and I honestly thought I was never going to get over it. I was still in agony about it months later. But something shifted when I started fasting and when I started making these rosaries and praying. I can't even explain it. It just got easier.
I didn't realize it until I looked back, but the day I started my first rosary... was the day the spiral started breaking.
I think God gave me something new to hold on to.
This one tested me. I kept messing up the design, dropping beads, restarting. At first I was mad about it, but now I see why. This rosary is the wilderness. Those seasons where you're trying to trust God but nothing makes sense. Where you're just hoping He's still with you even if you can't feel Him.
It's not perfect. And neither was I when I made it. But it feels powerful. Like a turning point.
Green for: trust, spiritual growth, unknown paths.
This one came together so easily. I didn't even realize what it meant until afterward. It's soft. Pure. It feels like a reminder to stay in a state of grace and to stop running back to sin just because it's familiar.
I'm not perfect. I still mess up. I still cuss sometimes. But I want to be clean. I want peace. This rosary holds me accountable to that.
This one wasn't for me, it was for my mom. But making it still brought me peace. I was thinking about all the things I wish I could protect her from. The dark blue beads feel like armor. She deserves that.
I didn't know it at the time, but I think it helped me let go of control a little. God can protect her better than I can.
