DaySpring - #indeals Tote Bag Review and Giveaway




I've considered myself a Christian for many years.  I've been blessed in too many ways not to believe in God.  I've been overcome with God's grace and mercy.  My prayers are always answered.  Maybe not in the exact way that I request them, but things always turn out better in the end.  And it's always because of God.  When I go to church on Sundays, I'm overwhelmed by how much God has affected my family in just the past year.  What started out as me and my boys attending church has become so many of my family members attending that we take up two rows of chairs!  I'm not a Bible thumper or claim to be wholly free from sin, but I make no bones that I'm a Christian and like to wear apparel or carry accessories that declare my love for my Savior.
 
DaySpring is a company whose mission it to connect people with the heart of God through messages of hope and encouragement by providing Christians with tools of communication that express God's heart in fresh, new ways with their merchandise.  I recently received a tote bag from DaySpring for review and was also given one to gift to a loved one.  If you're interested in purchasing any of their bags, DaySpring is offering a Buy 2, get the 3rd free June special on their beautiful bags through the month of June. Pick up one for you and gifts for friends!


 
As for the tote to gift, I chose to let my mother have the Mercy - Oil Cloth Tote.  Her faith is extremely strong and I knew she'd love it to carry around her knitting supplies.  I was spot on.  She loves the look of the tote and the message it conveys.  The tote is yellow with flowers and birds patterned on it.  The front and back are the same with the word "Mercy".  On each side is a scripture:  The Lord's love never ends; His mercies never stop. They are new every morning.  Lamentations 3:22-23 NCV

The material of the tote is durable oil cloth and the inside fabric is blue and white floral pattern.  It is water resistant and has a hidden magnetic snap closure.  Other than the fact that she wishes the handles were wider, my mother is very gracious for the tote and loves the design.


I received the Just Trust God Jute Tote Bag for myself.  I use it to carry my paperwork in and tote it daily to work.  Made from jute, this tote has an organic look and feel to it.  The handles look like rope and the front of the tote bag has a child with a balloon and the message "Just Trust God".  There's also the scripture "Guide me in your truth, and teach me, my God... I trust you all day long.  Psalm 25:5 NCV".  I trust God with all of my heart and this tote is a reminder to keep doing so.  The tote bag is functional and useful, and it lets everyone know that I'm not afraid to declare where my trust lies.

Win It!

One person will win a Just Trust God tote.

I really like the Keep Calm and Pray On Stainless Steel Water Bottle.

Quite often we fret and worry while all it takes is closing our eyes in prayer and being still....This bottle would be a great vessel (literally) to deliver a powerful message to those around me, especially in a college setting where sooo many different religions/ philosophies live side by side.

I like the purse you're giving away, too!! So cute.

It's so hard to choose just one item. I guess if I had to it'd be one of the Redeemed line bags.
