Storm Within Series - Linked
Storm Within Series - Linked
Cuff bracelet w/attached charm and ring meaning life starts when, "Stuff happens. . ." from the outside we have a hard smooth edge to react and deflect, but inside which is more complex but is also where the real answers come on how to proceed has to be addressed. Gold represents for me the fire of God as on the Burning Bush where Moses saw God. When I have that on the storm pieces it is the suggestion to take it to the Lord in prayer to deal with what's inside. The Links element has do with inner turmoil from one is felt by all. Reference original earring and pendant set on www.chesterallen.net under earrings.

God Centered Heart Pendant
God Centered Heart Pendant

God Centered Heart type pendant material is sterling silver oxidized with butterscotch amber center derivation and meaning. The symbol is a West African one from Ghana. It translates as Except God, I fear none or God is first. Artist interpretation, God is at the center of our being the alpha and the omega (First and the Last). As we move we often help others without regard to self or more importantly without putting the Source in the plan. The amber is about replenishing the heart chakra. So God is at the center and when you put the Source first it restores the soul to allow you unlimited potential to be of service.

Wisdom

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I may not be there yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday.

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
