Announcing this is INSANE to me.. but here we go!
*
90% of the time, I can experience something that is SO frustrating and makes no sense only to see it become the biggest most amazing blessing from God.
*
We have a natural human tendency to overlook Gods blessings as inconveniences when they don’t fit our mold of what we think our life is supposed to be.
*
Painting bibles wasn’t that for me though… which is SO odd. I immediately saw it as an opportunity from God to learn the Word more in depth and help others along the way. My passion for crafting and fire for Jesus created something SO special that I was able to share with SO many of you over the last 3 years.
*
Weirdly enough though, when I started it as a full time gig, God specifically put on my heart that I wouldn’t be doing this forever. And I accepted that from day one.
He didn’t put on my heart how long I would do it for, but I felt 100% confident in the fact that He would let me know when my time with it was up.
*
In January, I felt that tug. But ignored it. Same in February. By March, I told Mike that the end was approaching and it was time to close this chapter of painting bibles for Bibles and Coffee (if you didn’t already know this, when I started BxC it had NOTHING to do with painting bibles!! But then it turned into this and the name was seriously so fitting…)
*
Being the most amazing husband in the world, he supported me and didn’t try to make me keep doing something that I didn’t feel called to anymore.. no matter how much it was going to financially challenge us.
*
After having the honor to paint bibles for roughly 2,000+ of you, it is with a few tears in my eyes (in a busy coffee shop by myself- LOL) that I announce that this will be the last 2 months I will be painting bibles —> cool thing about this: ironically the last month of orders will ship on the anniversary of the first bible order that we shipped 3 years ago….
*
*
I dont know exactly what the future holds, but I am ready to tackle it and scale this company to reach as many people as I can. To spread the name of Jesus. To introduce people to a new way of studying the Bible. To create content and products that empower you and help you. To release my inner creative that has felt buried for quite some time.
*
*
I hope that you stick around to see what is to come. I have a very small sneak peak of it myself and BOY IS IT EXCITING.

WITH ALL THIS SAID:
SHOP OPENING IS HAPPENING SATURDAY APRIL 27TH AT 11AM PST
**please note, everything says sold out now because the shop only opens for a brief time on Saturday and then will close back down. The only way you can see what we offer is if we leave it up and mark it as Sold out**
*
*
Come Saturday, I encourage you to:
Know what theme or custom design you want. If you are choosing a custom design you can email me photos after placing your order. ** PLEASE NOTE: If you send me other artists work of painted bibles, I will not recreate it. I encourage you to go to them if you want their designs! :)
*
Know what translation you want. You can see all translations I offer on my site
*
Know what verse or quote you want on the front and back. Any quote/verse more that 8 words in calligraphy will look crammed on the Bible. If you put more than 8 words, it will be calligraphy/ standard mixed lettering to make it all cohesive :)
*
I strongly recommend typing up everything in your notes so that you can copy and paste it all into the forum.
*
I also strongly recommend setting up Apple Pay or Android Pay to make your check out a breeze!
*
Bibles go fast, so if you go online after 11:15am PST and you see ‘Sold Out’ then we are closed!
*
To say I’m thankful for the all the support you have all blessed me with would be an absolute understatement. You have all filled my heart with so much joy by allowing me to be a small part in your relationship with Jesus.
*
Cheers to N E W beginnings

Hello Jackie-
I wrote you an e-mail would love to connect with you!-Jessi
I’m confused…are you just giving up painting custom bibles or the themed ones too??🤔
I’ve been pushing off getting mine for the last few months so I’m hoping and praying to be able to get one tomorrow. You have brought hope and inspirational to so many people.
God bless you on your journey!
I want to write “NOOOO” (<— like that), but I know this is wonderful and God-centered news! #thestruggle 😩🙌🏾 I PRAY (like forreal) there is a way to get a pre-painted I personalized bible in the future! I have continued putting it off for very good reasons and was planning to get one for my graduation/birthday in 6 months! But, God! Divine redirection is real lol. That means whatever is next will be an even better opportunity for me to support and indulge in. 😉
Congratulations!!! On taking this step into a beautiful new future and opportunity! God has a way of guiding us through it all and you are such an example for being obedient and following Him. Whatever you do next, with Him, will resonate your passion for Him and His love for you as a gift for those who get to experience it.
God bless and congrats!! Standing in prayer with you guys through this blessing! 💙
Hey! I am so happy for you and this journey you are ending and the one you are about to begin! I can’t wait to see what bibles and coffee turns into. I love all you work and would love to Order a bible from you but I am 13 and it’s just a bit to much money. ;) I encourage you to keep creating and follow your heart and listen to the Lord!! Much love and support, Camille xx
