Hi, my dearest luvlie bud! 💖 
First and foremost, thank you for being here.

Whether you’ve stumbled upon this space by chance or you’ve been following Blooms & Lilies’ journey for a while, I want you to know that I’m truly grateful to have you here.

This place isn’t just a platform — it’s a community, a place to rest your heart, mind, and soul, and a safe garden where we nurture faith, creativity, and kindness together.

🌱 WHO WE ARE

By Blooms & Lilies | For Thou Art Blessed is more than just a brand—it’s a mission.

Inspired by God’s unwavering love and the lessons learned through both hardship and grace, BNL— FTAB seeks to share faith-driven stories, comforting illustrations, thoughtful products, and heartfelt reflections that bring people closer to Him.

Through creativity, storytelling, and giving back, we hope to encourage, uplift, and remind people that they are seen, loved, and never alone in their journey.

And hello to you, I'm Lily, not my real name but a nickname I held dear. I'm the florist of this garden. My role in this faith-driven space is someone who embodies the struggles and triumphs of a child of God goes through. Entrusting my life to Him while being a living testimony of His eternal love, kindness, and glory.

I present to the world what He has cultivated within me through the writings, illustrations, and products released as blooms in this garden. I am here to remind us that even if the world sees us as a “black sheep,” God's love remains steadfast, and through Him, we find our refuge, worth, and strength.

💡You can read more of who we are here (will be released on Nov. 23).

💭 WHAT IS THIS NEW SPACE ABOUT

We’ve planted many seeds that bloomed over the years — on Patreon when we started, on our Website before we went on Hiatus, on a couple smaller writing platforms within this year, and in the hearts of our luvlie buds who found us before we went on hiatus a couple of years ago.

To honor that history while following the leading of the Lord, we will be slowly releasing our blooms but we will not have a polished schedule of when they will be released. These blooms will come whenever the Abba Father leads me to write them and present them to you as a bouquet.

Most of the times, our blooms are new in a sense that they haven't been shared before. However, there are also many occasions that what we will be releasing is new in a different sense.

For one, new in perspective for blooms that has been released before during the early years of the garden before we went on hiatus. It could be a reflection, a reframe, a new lens, or a gentle expansion of what was once shared.

Another one is new in a sense of out of hermit for blooms that was written during my hermit season (a.k.a hiatus period) along with a gentle addition of new perspectives to that season.

Maybe it could also be a new illustration or reillustration for blooms that were previously made as an art, illustration, comic, or anything drawn with new perspectives or new art style.

Or it could also be new in terms of format for blooms that was previously written but this time released as a product with a design based on a bloom, a new bloom released as a product only, or a bloom made into a product.

We'll be releasing these blooms based on our current season — reflections that carry the same heart as before, but with deeper roots and wider branches. Those blooms that return to the garden will not be released as replicas. 

They'll be gently reworked, reworded, and re-bloomed with the wisdom we've gathered since they were first written. Think of it as a devotional retelling. A bloom seen from a new angle. 

We've released some new blooms by now, so you can read them as a sample of what writings will be released in the garden. 

As I write this welcome post, I honestly don’t know how am I supposed to do this either after so long. I feel both so overwhelmed because of the sudden move, yet I also feel so excited as this new chapter begins.

All I know is that I want to follow wherever He leads me because I know that He knows what's best for me and for this new garden He's cultivating. It will not be just a repost. It will be a renewal, a rebirth, a continuation, a blooming garden replanted in an expanded soil.

There will be no exact schedule of what will be released weekly and when. Every bloom will be released as the Spirit leads.

However, we will take it slowly. This will allow me to diversify the blooms in forms it better suits to be released as in terms of whether as a writing or a product. So, we can offer the same bloom in many forms and you'll be able to keep them in the form you want.

These wouldn’t be released all at once. As I mentioned, I don’t want to overwhelm both you and I with so many releases at once. So we will take a slow pace as if we’re taking a stroll by the flower field — just enjoying the scenery without rushing.

As what God reminded me when He told me to finally go and release this garden…“Everything will bloom in time. One by one, bloom by bloom."

💚 WHAT COMES NEXT

A simple post explaining what you’ll find here will be released later on Sunday. It will be updated constantly whenever a new series or something new has been released in this garden.

There will also be a new post regarding who we are to be released on Sunday, explaining why we are called as both Blooms & Lilies and For Thou Art Blessed, as well as what happened to the previous garden, and many more things.

From there, we’ll continue to release writings, products, and updates — slowly, gently, faithfully. Some will be new. Some will be reimagined. All will be rooted in the same heart that’s been here since the beginning.

We’ll also be experimenting with new formats, new art styles, and new ways of connecting. Some things might look different. Some things might feel unfamiliar. But the heart remains the same: to create a space where faith, creativity, and healing can bloom together.

🌸 Final Message

This garden is more than a shop.
More than a membership.
More than a relaunch.

It’s a sanctuary for those God leads here.
A garden where a wounded heart could rest.
A living archive of faith, creativity, and emotional resonance.
A rhythm led by God.

We’re so grateful you found us here.
Whether you’re a previous bud or a new bud, you are all welcome here.
He sees you and you are part of this unfolding.

Thank you for walking with us.
We look forward to blooming with you.
One petal at a time.

And may you never forget, luvlie bud…
you are highly favored by the Father — always.

With love and light,
Lily ♡ from Blooms & Lilies
