‘’I remember seeing the necklaces and I though by myself: ‘’these are not only beautiful, there’s something about them’’

25 year old Dagmar wears her necklaces as a daily reminder for herself and as an inspiration for the people around her.

She bought her first necklace on December 31, 2018. During that time she was scared for all that would come in 2019 and afraid to lose what she had built up so intentionally over the last seven years.
‘’I needed to know and declare that I B E L O N G to family. That even if reality is showing something different, I look toward a greater reality, which is that I am a daughter of the King and that I B E L O N G to His family.’’
She bought the necklace as a declaration for her year and as a prophetic statement.


The year 2019 ended up being one of the hardest of her life.
‘’HOPE carried me through this year. Before there were times I felt utterly hopeless and I had to live on the hope other people had for my life.
Looking back on all the hardship from 2019 I see the two truths I stand on to this day:
I have H O P E and I B E L O N G.’’

Dagmar tells boldly that outward circumstances didn’t change, but also didn’t define her hope. She found that hope is only steadfast when it’s put in a person. And that person is Jesus.

‘’When your hope is put in circumstances, it will fail you. There’s only one person who won’t, his name is Jesus. When I put my hope in Him, I won’t be disappointed.

Circumstances can change, but He won’t.’’

’It’s wild’’ Dagmar confesses. 
One of the biggest prophetic words over her life is being a H O P E carrier and she always had a heart to provide a home for the fatherless, the lonely and the lost ones.
Kris Vallotton was right by saying “ the dogs of doom stand on the doorway of your destiny.’’
‘’Maybe I had to walk through what felt like hell, maybe I had to feel lost and alone. Because now I can, with complete confidence say that regardless how broken, lost, alone, unqualified, messed up one feels, God has a plan for your life.
Jesus is the restorer of our hope and our hearts, that I know, by my own experience.
If He can do it for me, He can do it for everyone’’

For Dagmar, wearing her necklaces is a way of dressing herself with HOPE.
She reminds herself that words create worlds because there is so much power in what we think and declare.
It’s been interesting to her how many conversations she’s had about her necklace.
‘’I’ve been able to encourage people who feel similar to what I have felt.
People are longing for family, for strong and deep connection, I believe the first step is vulnerability and talking about it openly. This necklace has enabled me to invite others into my story but also point to the H O P E in the midst of it.’’
