Have you ever looked back at a particularly difficult time in your life and wondered how you made it through? Maybe it was a season of loss, a period of uncertainty, or a challenge that felt impossible to overcome. I know I have. Sometimes the path behind us seems so steep, so treacherous, that it's hard to believe we actually walked it.
But there's this beautiful verse in Deuteronomy 1:31 that puts those moments in a different light:
"There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place."
What moves me most about this verse is the tender image it paints. It doesn't just tell us that God helped us along - it shows us that He carried us, like a father carries his child. Think about that for a moment. When a father carries his child, he doesn't just bear their weight - he protects them, guides them, and keeps them close to his heart.
In my own journey, I've learned to look back at those difficult seasons differently. Those footprints in the sand? Some weren't mine at all - they were His, carrying me when I couldn't walk on my own.
That's exactly why we created this bracelet. Every time I look down at it, it reminds me that even in moments when I feel most alone, I'm being carried by a Father who loves me beyond measure.
What's even better is that this one in particular includes a little NFC chip in the tag, which opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Each time you tap your smartphone to it, a new verse appears. You can even select the topic of verses you see to dive in further and discover all the promises God has made on subjects that you care about most - things like anxiety, hope, relationships and so much more.
What are ZOX made from?
All of our bracelets and watchbands are made from 100% recycled polyester. We currently repurpose nearly 44,000lbs of plastic into the polyester we use to mill our elastic each year.
Are they waterproof?
They sure are! Elastic ZOX bracelets are fine to wear in the water, even our interactive ones. To ensure they do not warp over time, please just use care in removing / stretching them when wet. Elastic prefers air drying and will hold its form far better when it's able to dry without tension.
How do I wash my ZOX?
Caring for your ZOX is incredibly easy: Simply put it through the wash on cold, preferably in a small washer bag. Once it's clean, set it out an a flat surface to dry. That's it!
Other Tips:
- Avoid oils and lotions when wearing ZOX. Fatty acids in oils and some lotions break down the natural rubbers we use in each ZOX and may cause warping.
- If your ZOX is a little tight, don’t be afraid to give it a few good stretches. They’re made to have a fairly snug fit, expanding to work on wrists of almost any size.
