Every closed door was a redirection to something better.
It hasn’t even been a year in since I opened up my shop and I feel so glad I took the risk when I did. Before this, I was trying to mold myself someone I wasn’t. I really believed that if I tried hard at everything in life and ever job, I would excel. But I faced reality for what it was after a lot of rejection.
So I learned the hard lesson that I’m not gonna be great at everything and decided to focus on being great at least one thing. I took time to reflect on my own strengths, passions, personality, and God’s unique design He had for me. I stopped applying for 9-5 jobs that were way out of my league and finally took the serious time to invest in the things that really mattered to me: making beautiful and intentional art.
So here I am. What’re you good at? Or are you still trying to figure it out? Comment your thoughts!!
Who remembers the old Christian bookstores back in the early 2000s?
You could only buy Christian T-shirts and sweaters at your local Christian book store but I have to admit, the options were limited and they honestly weren’t the best … They were always in the craziest pops of colors with the typical Christian sayings. The fonts felt too exaggerated.
But now with the rise of small businesses, there are sooo many more options for Christian apparel. And get this—you don’t have to opt for the cringey ones anymore. The best part about being an entrepreneur owning this embroider faith based small business is making the sweaters, shirts, and goods I never grew up with and adding more to this world. 💡
💬 Comment below your experience with Christian apparel or what type of designs/styles you’d like to see more of!!
I’m camera shy. But this is the start is seeing my face more often 🫣😅
💬 In the meantime, comment below what you’d like to see or hear from me! Or comment tips on getting over camera shyness.

Feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to start reading in the Bible? This is the perfect challenge for you. I’m starting up a new reading challenge going over the book of Esther. I didn’t choose this book on a whim or choose it randomly. But I choose this book with intentionality to prepare us spiritually and mentally for the elections coming up in early November. 💡The main objective of this challenge is not to persuade your vote or apart any social media wars on politics. The main objective is this instead: reading through Esther is to help you gain a wider perspective of God’s sovereignty and powerful presence in the midst of a crazy election year. It’s to help you draw near God during a crucial time for our country. It’s to help you realize that God doesn’t just work in your personal life or church community but that He’s also at work on a national and global level too. So are you in with me for this transformative month? Who knows what God could say to us the next couple of weeks.
💭 Reflection: roadtrips are the best places to have deep conversations. Vince and I got back from a weekend trip to Georgia and it was so fun. We got to be like little kids again enjoying life without thinking of responsibilities, bills, or work. I don’t always want to showcase the business side to you. Honestly I’m still learning how to find a balance between rest and work. It’s hard and difficult. So posting these weekly reflections every once in a while helps me to focus on other things besides my work. I’ve been loving these reflection series whether that’s through posting image carousels or reels of my daily life. Last weekend Vince and I took a small roadtrip to Duluth, GA. We wanted to have a getaway from everything. Thankfully my aunt and uncle opened up their home to us. We enjoyed morning conversations with them about current events happening in the world, getting baked goods from all the Asian bakeries 🤤, playing Catan, shopping for cool figurines and blind boxes, playing at the Round 1 arcade, worshiping at @passioncityatlanta and eating hot pot/seafood. But some of the most memorable parts from the weekend were the funny, deep, and intimate car conversations I had with my husband. Sometimes I get surprised to see how we never run out of things to talk or laugh about. I’m thankful for a good companion and best friend. ❤️

Last Saturday we headed straight to @waterbeancoffee for a nice change of scenery. Vincent had to get ready to preach his sermon the following day so he spent majority of that day reading, writing, and sermon prepping. On the other hand, I spent an hour or two reading a book called “The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self” by Carl Truman. It was a very intriguing read as the world navigates through gender dysphoria, gender identity, and sexuality. By the way, this cafe has the BEST iced chai in CLT (so far that I’ve tried). My go-to has been iced chai latte with oat milk and caramel syrup. 🥰 Comment below what your favorite drink at a cafe is! Maybe I’ll try that the next time we go to a coffee shop again.
