I realized it’s been a little longer than normal since my last update – so I wanted to shoot one out to you 🙂
I have to say this holiday season has been rather uneventful. I think I may have over prepared because I’m actually dyeing LESS recently because I had so many ready and on hand. I thought for a bit that it’s because sales weren’t doing well, but when I checked the numbers they weren’t bad at all and as of right now I’m up about 10% gross sales this quarter over last quarter. Which is good! I’m about 70% of the way to where I need to be at a minimum to be covering expenses for me to be full-time.
Dyed4you Ministries
I finally got to talk to an actual person at PayPal about my debacle with the D4Y Ministries PayPal account. She was very helpful, but basically they have it locked down until I have documentation from MorningStar showing I’m legit or from another 501c3 ministry whose covering I am under. It’s an inconvenience, but not an actual problem. Ironically, my issues with them squelched my excitement thereby causing me to stop developing the website and finishing my application for MorningStar… the very things they want from me – LOL 🙂
I actually did talk to another ministry who I believe I’m supposed to be under their covering for a season (which would mean I could take tax deductible donations via their 501c3 as an extension of their ministry) – this would be in addition to the affiliation with MorningStar. I’ve made the request and ask them to pray about it… now I am waiting. I would VERY much appreciate your prayer over this. I don’t know exactly who is on their board, but I did find out the person who does their finances (who would be most impacted by this arrangement) is someone I know and who likes me – which is nice! I’m trying not to get too attached to the outcome because although I know God told me to ask, He did not promise they’d say yes. So I’m waiting… and relatively patiently 😉
And no, I haven’t finished the MorningStar application. I need to get past my analysis paralysis and just do it, but haven’t managed to yet. This is one reason I tend to get things done quickly – because if I pause too long I start over thinking and stall out!
Ascend Scarves
I’m already getting scarf stories and pictures of you guys in your ascend scarves – I would love to compile those for us all to share in here on the blog. So if you have pictures – email them to me at info@dyed4you.com (Kimberly, I already snagged yours off Facebook) and email me any story you want to share with the group 🙂
So glad to know you guys are blessed by these gifts from the Lord – I’m loving mine too! Someone tried to buy mine off my neck – like literally grabbed hold and started pulling it off – LOL! I grabbed her wrist a bit more sharply than I meant to and told her it was NOT for sale!!! LOL 🙂
In Closing
Thinking of you all and praying for you… please feel free to email me any personal prayer requests, I know many of you have things going on that need covering. I’m so appreciative of your support of me personally and of the ministry. Much love and blessings to you all!
Thanks for the update Meghan. One of my favorite sayings might come in handy for you about now…”If you have a frog to swallow, don’t spend too much time looking at it.” 😀
Love you.
I see the backbone of this “analysis paralysis” as like a dragon which seeks to breathe a devouring fire into your mind (not a CONSUMING fire as is the LORD. Don’t be mistaken). It whips it’s tail and snaps at your feet seeking to strike you on your achilles heel…not just one foot, but both. Because then you are truly stopped in your tracks. You can’t walk without your achilles. SO…I take my hands that the Lord has trained in battle that can bend a bow of bronze and I SNAP AND BREAK THE BACKBONE OF THIS IN JESUS NAME! I CRUSH and CRUMBLE this dragon into pieces and throw it back into the flaming pit of hell from where it came from. NO MORE in JESUS NAME! I rebuke the DEVOURING fire and command it to CEASE FOREVER AND EVER! NO MORE in JESUS NAME! I ask Abba Father to wash and RENEW your mind, Meghan, with the WATERING OF HIS WORD for it is LIFE, it is CLEAN, it is PURE & it is LOVELY! I ask you Abba, the CONSUMING fire, to consume and burn away that which may remain. Lord, clear away any debris, fragments, or familiar grounds the enemy could perceive as permission to tread upon Meghan. This stalling, over thinking, “paralysis” ceases NOW and WILL NOT return again, ever!
Switching gears….
Meghan, I am reminded that your name means “PEARL” and that lately you’ve been triggered a great deal. Hmm…seeing the connection yet? LOL! Wild pearls (those found in the sea without any human intervention creating them) are very rare and very valuable. Cultured pearls (very common & produced in farms with human intervention). YOU, Meghan, are a wild pearl. You weren’t created by humans (cultured). You were created by Almighty God in the depths of the sea i.e. (the foundation of the world). The word PEARL has come to be known and used to describe something that is an object f BEAUTY, is RARE, FINE, ADMIRABLE, and VALUABLE. Meghan, you are ALL of those and nothing less! God is triggering you to continue to shape and develop who you are in Him and to continue to become what He calls you, a pearl! And He sees you as PERFECT and WHOLE in Him! And perfectly round pearls are considered the rarest and most valuable in the world…more valuable than most any gem. They are sold by themselves to be displayed as a glorious centerpiece and are considered collectors items. Do you know what else is incredible about a pearl?? Pearls, unlike other precious gems, can be DYED!! lol…yep! They can be DYED any color you want! Are you getting this?? LOL!! AMAZING! And YOU, dear Meghan, are a pearl of GREAT price to Him. He paid the highest price EVER so He could have THEE crowning pearl…YOU.

I also noted to Amanda that actually Meghan means “great mighty one” and Megan means “pearl” but I receive the word and believe it is of the Lord!
Meghan your steps and your ministry are ordered of the Lord. God will open the doors for each aspect of your minstry and also close doors you are not to go through. Peace like a river I pray will flood your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Peace be still and the winds and waves were calm at the sound of His voice. Jesus calms the storms in your life right now and brings you a new calm and peace that you will walk in. God’s holy angels go before you doing warefare and they bring healing on their wings and you are covered under the shadow of His wings and you shall find peace and refuge from the storm. Arise and shine for your light has come to bring the good news of salvatin and healing and restoration as you send forth scarves and what God touches your hands to create. Under his anointing you shall be more creative and prophetic and lives will be touched and changed. He shall give his angels charge over you you nd they shall bear you up in their hands lest you dash your foot against a stone. Jesus sits at the right hand of the father giving charge and commanding the angels to do there biding and go forth in his holy name where evry knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus where would we be without you poor and wretched was I before you came and changed my life. Praise your holy name.
I love how God provides! Praise Him that your sales are actually up!
Lord, I thank you for continued provision and thank you for increase!!! Increase in territory, increase in anointing, increase in deliverance received through You working through Meghan, increase in intimacy and sweetness AND increased provision. Thank you Father that you provide in abundance! Thank you for how you will accelerate Meghan and her ministry to be used for your Kingdom in this upcoming season!!! You are so awesome LORD! We worship you and praise you for you are holy and worthy of all praise!!
