Don’t give up...Don’t give in...

Don’t give up...Don’t give in...
When I was 20 years old I had my first daughter, and then 20 months later I had my second daughter. Neither of their dads were in the picture. Soooo, yeah there’s that. All that to say, I was a single mom, living in a very small town, and thought I would be stuck there forever. Forever. Did you hear me, Forever.
-
Fast forward twenty two years. I am NOT stuck there! I had big hopes and dreams and was determined to not settle for less. It took a lot of Jesus, hard work(literally), determination and perseverance.
-
There were a lot of people that I came in contact with that said, it would be too hard for me, and I would have to move back home. If you know me, I am a tad head strong and was determined to make sure that I would prove those people wrong. The thing I didn’t know at the time was that my hopes, dreams and plans were nothing compared to what Jesus’ hopes, dreams and plans were FOR me...
-
Today with all that is going on with COVID-19, My heart has been very heavy for people who have just started their dream, were just about to launch their dream, or have worked so hard for their dream and things have come to a screeching halt.
-
Let’s be honest, this has been a little hick in my giddy up...personally. I have found myself being overjoyed, sad, rested, pissed, happy, lonely, all.the.feels. How do work so hard for something that means so much to you and then all of a sudden, you have to stop??? I have tried to think about how I can make my business “essential”...I am sure there is some sort of loophole I can find. Flowers support farmers, I have an agricultural license and I am supporting local farmers, on and on and on.
-
BUT then, I take a moment and think about it.... I needed rest. I needed some time. I needed to fall back in love with the basics.
All that to say, God’s timing is ALWAYS better than ours. I wanted to speak to the dreamers and doers right now...

You’re gonna be okay!
Hope is never lost!
Just Take one step closer!
Don’t give up, don’t give in!

Keep dreaming, take this time to shore things up because you are about to get your socks knocked off! Just because the world has stopped doesn’t mean that Jesus has. He is moving and will take you further than you could’ve dreamed or imagined.

P.S. I never moved back home....He knew everything I needed and was my hope & provision then and will be NOW. ♥️♥️♥️
