please read the "how to order" listing description before placing your order!! 🤍 8 yrs ago... on 9/11/13, i was thrown out of a moving car full of my “friends” (drug dealers & wanted felons) after overdosing on heroin & cocaine. they didn’t know what to do with me, i was lifeless... hopeless. left to die on the side of the road that night, it still amazes me that God (outside of time) was orchestrating something greater. someone driving by happened to see me & take me to a hospital where i was pronounced “dead on arrival” & then brought back to life. i began a road of worldly recovery. & inside every rehab, halfway house, detox, IOP i went to for help after that to "work the steps" & get clean, i was told “some higher power has a plan for you & that’s the reason you’re alive.” but still, after so many relapses back to the same habits that destroyed me, i didn’t believe that. i didn’t think there was a God & if there was, how could He care for/LOVE a junkie like me? i was at the point i thought it might be better to just end my own life to put myself & my family that i continued to hurt out of the misery. you could take drugs out of my life, but w/o meeting the HEART Healer on HIS terms, i'd continue the endless cycle of running back to drugs. 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌖🌗🌖🌕 BUT GOD, broke through the darkness & saved me. i moved to maine in dec 2013 & came face to face with my Creator who met me right where i was. but the work thankfully didn’t stop there- He loved me enough to not leave me the way i was! He changed me from the inside out! He showed me my sins that broke His heart, how i wasn’t designed to chase after those things & that He paid the price so i could be SET FREE! He gave me a NEW heart, hope & a future. i still can’t believe that girl 8 years ago, so dependent on drugs is now a mom of twins, a wife to an assistant pastor at the church where my life was saved, also now the senior pastor of a church that GOD has graciously called us to plant. i’m forever grateful for His grace & forgiveness! but also for the Word of God & His Spirit that called me to repentance & changed my heart/mind to not just be "clean & sober" but have broken chains & abundant life here on earth + a kingdom ahead of this life- forever with Him, my Living Hope✨

shipping & returns

all Sparrows & Wildflowers Bibles are painted upon order.

because each item is custom and made to order, no returns or refunds will be accepted unless there is an error on my end (as with any handmade items, this has happened a handful of times!)

IF an error is to occur such as a typo, different verse than you requested or omission of one of your specific requests, please communicate with me & i will be HAPPY to provide you with the means to ship it back to me so I can fix it!


florals/backdrops will vary slightly in color from the listing photos as they are blended while wet & filters are at times added for aesthetic purposes. also due to certain lighting/phone/computer screens, we may be seeing colors uniquely different.
no two bibles are ever exactly the same, yours will be unique and totally YOU!

if an item is promised by a certain date, & does not arrive by that date due to an error at the post office Sparrows & Wildflowers cannot be held liable. shipping is unfortunately out of my hands as soon as i bring it to the post office, although i wish i could hand deliver each one! i provide tracking on all of my items for that reason. 
the processing time for your order does not include weekends or holidays, it also doesn’t include shipping time once your order is in the mail.
also, with tracking… the post office sometimes does not scan the packages along the way.

don’t be alarmed if it looks like your package hasn’t moved since its shipping day, as that is very common. i am a one woman show working around the clock to get orders out in a timely manner. these Bibles are in high demand so i really appreciate your patience and understanding with all these shipping announcements.

i do try to get each order out as quickly as possible. you can follow along for updates by signing up for text/e,ail notifications connected to your tracking number as soon as i print your label & when i ship, you’ll see that package number moving & grooving!

care instructions

i always say to all my guests in the shop, absolutely handle with care. i would not suggest leaving this bible out in the rain or scratching at the design or leaving it in the car or outside in less than 30 degree weather….. or in the hands of a two year old ha!

as with any handmade item, there is always the risk of imperfections as you use and love on this Bible over time.

however, my passion that ignited the fire to start this business is the desire that women would grow more in love with the Word of God. i do not intend to sell these beautiful works of art to sit on a shelf and be house decor. we have enough “shelf bibles” in our blessed, free country!

my desire is that women would take this bible everywhere they go and OVERUSE it! i like to see women’s bibles full of notes, highlighted and LIVED IN, loved on. after years of use, every one of my Bibles grow to accumulate imperfections that make this personal Book my own! my desire is that this Bible would be taken everywhere with you.

…and if that means walking in the rain with your Bible to go share the love of Christ with someone who needs Him, i have prepared for that! i cover each Bible with multiple coats of paint finish/sealer to ensure you that whether it’s few raindrops, an accidental drop to the ground as you give someone a hug, or setting your prayer journal on top of it as you ride in the car... none of these things will ruin it!

i want you to enjoy this work of art for years to come! 


with all this being said, i still do not suggest scratching at the design and caring for the Word of God as something precious! just as i would also suggest not using pens as book marks, as the binding is subject to ripping. unfortunately i don’t have a product i’ve run over with a car (napoleon dunamite reference) or dropped off a building for crash tests 😂

 BUT i do have multiple women at my church who have ordered my product that I see them using each sunday and wednesday... and the Bible’s are holding up just wonderfully and in great shape :)
