Believe it or not, one year ago today, I officially stepped into my business full time.
It was a long road to get here. For years, I held onto some type of part time job as a safety net. My mindset was always, “In case this doesn’t work out, in case I fail, at least I’ll have something else to fall back on.” My business was always there in the background. For a wild 10+ years.
Looking back, I’ve realized that before some of the biggest shifts in my life, I could feel something changing. My prayers played a huge role in giving me the courage to take the next step, even when it terrified me. And time and time again, the Lord showed up in His perfect timing.
Twice in my life, I’ve prayed something along the lines of, “Lord, You’ll have to do this for me, because I don’t have the strength to do it on my own.” Both times, I was too afraid to take that step myself. And both times, He made a way anyway, not because I had it all figured out, but because He is so kind.
Little did I know that this time last year, He would do it again.
He stepped in when I couldn’t. He confirmed it was time to go full-time when I was already feeling it in my heart but questioning whether I had heard Him right.
One year in, and I can say with full confidence that this past year has stretched me, challenged me, and fulfilled me in ways I never expected. And I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m so grateful for where He’s led me, for the work I get to create, and for the reminder that sometimes, even when we don’t have the courage to take the next step ourselves, He is kind enough to make a way.
Here’s to many more years of JMP. 🤍
