The Heart Behind Willow Embers

Hi y’all, I’m Reema, the owner/maker at Willow Embers! I’m a mom of five boys, bonus mom to four, and a wife to an incredible veteran. Creativity has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. At seven, I was filling pages with stories, crafting poems, and making the best macaroni art in class. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of the bigger picture.

It wasn’t until last fall that everything changed when I found my way back to God. For years, I tried to carry the weight of life on my own, but the moment I surrendered, everything shifted. Clarity replaced confusion, purpose replaced uncertainty, and peace took the place of pain.

 

For so long, I chased success on my own terms, carrying the weight of every decision, every hardship, and every uncertainty. I tried to control the outcome, but no matter how hard I pushed forward, something was always missing. It wasn’t until I fully surrendered just six months ago—to stop suffering and start trusting—that I understood what God was doing. That’s when I truly began living a life led by God.

Willow Embers isn’t just a small business; it’s a calling. It’s a testament to what happens when you let go and let God lead. Every piece I create is covered in prayer, every design is guided by Him, and every sign is a reflection of His truth, His promises, and His presence. This is no longer just about making something beautiful— it’s about creating reminders of faith, encouragement, and the power of His Word.

This journey is no longer mine alone. God is in control every step of the way. And through this new chapter, I am humbled and honored to create something far greater than myself—

His Word in Art.
