I pulled all the PayPal integrations off the Dyed4you site and am VERY happy to report it was WAY easier than I thought it would be! I cannot express how grateful I am to have that not hanging over me and to have the confusion of PayPal’s non-functionality removed. Yay!
Sales
I don’t think I ever reported on 3rd quarter sales, which were up but barely and 4th quarter was looking like it was going to be down from last year… until the final 2 weeks when I had a boom in sales and finished the quarter up over 50% above Q4 2010!
The year ended up with Dyed4you Art doing basically the same as last year (not much) and Dyed4you doubled – largely due to increase following the Kim Clement broadcast. We serve a BIG God 🙂

Praise Follow-Up to Imitation
MAJOR praise report! You may remember how much I struggled a few weeks back when I shared with you someone else was copying what I do at Dyed4you. As you prayed (and as some of you spoke with me), it became clear this was bringing up wounds of betrayal for me. Through your prayer I reached a new level of freedom from it though! I know this because the woman that prompted my prayer requests who had started dyeing has continued to stay in contact with me, but the pain was gone.
And once it was gone the Father told me I needed to help her see how hurtful her approach had been (even though not intentionally so) and how inadvertently she had robbed me (and herself) of the opportunity for me to bless her and send her in this similar call she felt led to that was birthed from Dyed4you. It is ALWAYS uncomfortable for me when He asks me to exhort someone I don’t have a close relationship with, but He gave me exactly the right words to speak truth in love – which I was only able to do because of the healing that had come through YOUR prayers!
The response I got from her was so beautiful I wanted to share 🙂
Meghan, Thank you for being very clear and open with me. I don’t know how to express how sorry I am for hurting you. That was not my intention at all. I can be impulsive and I probably moved too quickly towards this. I was seeking to “walk” in a spiritual way that I had not done or seen before because I was drawn to it. I am going to take some extended time to think about this. I so much want to give something of myself into God’s work because He has done so much for me. I know I don’t have to earn his approval; I just want to be a blessing to someone. At least this one time I was able to do that. My friend liked the silk and cried when I read the scriptures to her. She told me that God had used me to answer a prayer of hers that she would feel His love.
If I knew how to send audio, I would have. Just know I write this with tears at the wrong I done to you.
May the Lord continue to bless you and the work of your hands.
I was so blessed by the beautiful humility of her response! I felt released to bless the work of her hands in this new ministry. This was a portion of the response I received to that:
I have read over and over again your message and have been so blessed by it. At first I had to let it sink in about grace for the learning and grace for the growing.I am grateful for the grace you extended to me. I know there is so much more I have to learn. And then to have your blessings just opened up my eyes to how this endeavor has gone from an idea / hope to kind of thing to something more. It really causes me to lean on Him all the more. And that’s what He wants from us anyway…
Please pray He directs her and that she stays completely in step with Him and THANK YOU for your prayers for me in this matter. Truly it was like night and day my heart response on this!
I so appreciate ALL of you for everything you do – bless you all 🙂
Meghan, I want to commend you on your faithfullness to stick with a difficult situation that caused so much turmoil inside you and see it through to the conclusion that God had for it. Many times it is easier to walk away but not better. Thank you for your example of obedience.
Meghan,
I am so glad you received a healing through this process! I agree with Donelda, and your strength and perseverance is an example to me and I’m sure others amongst this group of intercessors and sisters in Christ!
May Abba continue to bless you for your faithfulness and obedience! May He bless and continue to lead this other woman as she continues to learn the art of silk dyeing and the prophetic.
Praise Yah for the provision! May He continue to bless all aspects of the D4Y ministry.
Love you my friend! I am so glad we “met” can’t wait for the day we can actually meet face to face!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
Praise the Lord for all the good He has done for you, Dyed4you and the lives of those you touch. I praise the Lord for you obedience Meghan and for your loving heart that is following after the Father. I praise the Lord for His expression of love through you!

After submitting the above I heard “Whole new level” and I believe that is for us individually and for Meghan and Dyed4you. So Lord I thank You for taking us all to a whole new level in YOU!
I stand in agreement with Tonia!
Looking forward to a new level!!
