I have made over 720 bracelets, 86 necklaces and 50 pairs of earrings since April, 2007, and I give God all the Praise and Glory! I lovingly pray over each piece of jewelry as I make it, asking for God's guidance through each phase of the process. I carefully place a butterfly within the beaded circle to signify new life in Jesus. I tie three knots in the cording of the finished product to represent the Holy Trinity. I put a drop of clear nail polish on the knot to strenghten it, just as God strengthens us as we yield our will to Him and to His plans for our lives. I pray for God's blessings in your life; and I humbly ask you to pray for me as I try to be obedient to God's will for my life as I place it 'IN HIS HANDS".

Family and friends have supported me in so many ways to help me start my "business," and I have been able to share my story with others who have been depressed and hopeless. I still have numerous medical problems and must stay in bed several hours each day; but I am believing that God will heal me...in His time, and for His glory. I want my business to be a testimony to God to show that I have placed my life "IN HIS HANDS." The word 'Power' in my business name "Pam's Power Beads," proclaims the awesome Power and Might of our Lord. "...and in Thine Hand is Power and Might..." I Chronicles 29:12 (KJV)

God had a plan for my life that I would have never expected as an answer to my prayers. I prayed for the ability to do something that would glorify Him...something that my family could be proud to know that I was involved in....something that I could do to feel useful once again. I quit taking all the medications that the doctors had prescribed for me, and began relying totally on God to heal me. I learned that God deserves and expects our best... not only of our paychecks, but of ourselves. My husband and I began faithfully tithing, and I finally realized that God had been trying to show me that there was hope for me. I was introduced to the art of making stretch-beaded bracelets, and I really liked making them! I began making necklaces and earrings praising God with each item I was able to make. Even though my hands hadn't worked in such a long time, God was using me and answering my prayers.

After many years of existing on pain pills and muscle relaxants, I listened as the Lord spoke to me about repenting of my many sins. I prayed that He would bless me and bring me out of the deep, dark depression that I had fallen into. I had felt so useless for so long, still knowing that God loved me, and that my family loved and needed me; but I just couldn't seem to pull myself up out of that pit.

My name is Pam Powers and I'd like to briefly share with you what the Lord is doing in my life. My husband and I, along with our two children, were involved in a horrific head-on automobile accident in 1987. It was only by the Grace of God that we survived. We have undergone numerous surgeries and medical procedures since that day that our lives were traumatically changed forever. I blamed the man who hit us and was unforgiving in my bitterness toward him for what he had done to our family.

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for My Strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the Power of Christ may rest upon me.” IICorinthians 12:9 (KJV)
