Our Story: How My Life Matters to Jesus Came to Life
Discovering Purpose through Creativity and Faith
Hey there! I'm Cherri, the heart and hands behind My Life Matters to Jesus. I'm so glad you're here! My journey began with a deep love for all things artistic, especially dance. (I could seriously watch Alvin Ailey all day!) But over time, I found myself creating in a different way—expressing my love for the Lord not on stage, but through beads, gemstones, and symbolic charms. God’s creativity flows through every piece I design, and I’ve never felt more alive in my passion for spreading His message.
Here at My Life Matters to Jesus, we’re a family-owned business on fire for sharing one simple truth: Your life matters to Jesus. We craft handmade jewelry filled with meaningful elements to encourage and inspire you in your faith journey. Whether it’s gemstones that reflect hope or charms that serve as reminders of God's love, each piece tells a story—and that story is yours.
We’re for the believer who hears from God, for the one needing a boost of confidence, and for those who love wearing faith-inspired beauty that refuses to conform to worldly trends like the evil eye or ankhs. Every item is designed with God’s voice in mind, reminding you that His words about your worth are louder than anything else.
How it All Began: A Family Journey
Back in 2020, when the world was weighed down by a global pandemic, division, and endless bad news, I wanted to escape the negativity—especially for my kids. I turned to Facebook Live, hosting science experiments with them to offer families a moment of joy and innocence.
One Saturday, when we ran out of ideas for our next project, I prayed for inspiration. That’s when the idea to make necklaces came to me. Even though I had no experience in jewelry-making, I felt God guiding me, and soon, the kids and I were crafting our very first necklace.
Around the same time, my heart ached watching the news. People were pleading for their lives to matter, and it hit me hard. In that moment, I heard a whisper in my spirit: My Life Matters to Jesus. The phrase wouldn't leave my mind. It felt like more than just a necklace—it was a message that needed to be shared.
So, we took our supplies and made necklaces with the words My Life Matters to Jesus. We posted them online, and to my surprise, the orders came pouring in. One by one, people connected with the message, and from that simple act of creativity, our jewelry ministry was born.
