PayPal, Possible Covering, and Ascend Scarves

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. Continue reading

Clear Skies

The moment I woke up I KNEW you guys had been praying for me because what had felt like dark stormy skies suddenly felt clearer.  THANK YOU! You are a blessing 🙂

I realize it may feel odd to post another one so quickly on the heals of the last, but from several emails today I am reminded that I am not the only one going through these thing within the body at large and in the Dyed4you Community. So I wanted to pause and lift up the D4Y Community and just know that by extension I’m praying this out for the body of Christ. Continue reading

Praise Reports & Hormones

First let me apologize because I should have posted an update last week – if only to let you know how the weekend went since you all were praying. So let me start by saying that in general the weekend went well in the sense that I (who really don’t like playing the hostess) was very calm and at ease the bulk of the weekend, which is HUGE for me and I KNOW is a direct answer to your prayers.  So thank you 🙂

I’ve sat here staring at the screen for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to talk about the part of the visit that was awkward and hurtful, but I don’t know how – so I just ask that you pray being led by the Spirit… Continue reading

Outreach, Art and a Visit

Blessing to all my sweet prayer warriors! Thank you as always for your faithfulness in prayer for D4Y and for me personally.  I pray that God would pour His multiplied blessings back over you 🙂

Updates

A couple updates since last week, first is that I have finally made a decision on the outreach/ground-staking thing (which is what I have continually asked for wisdom on). I’m about 98% sure I am to lay it on the altar and walk away. JI (my partner) has not demonstrated that he is in a good place with the Lord and I need wisdom to know how much God wants me to say to him about how his character has impacted my decision. I want him to feel my love, not attacked – yet I feel he needs to hear truth, but I want God to keep this amiable if at all possible. Please pray for protection over my reputation. Continue reading

Praise, Finances, Holidays, & Wisdom

Let me start with some praise reports 🙂

  • My hubby’s (Allen’s) level of peace with where God has him right now has SIGNIFICANTLY increased!  I can only account that to prayer – so thank you for your willingness to cover him as it definitely impacts me.  God’s been giving him very specific insight on things he does that negatively impact me and he’s been specifically working on addressing those – all without me saying a word. Praise God!
  • My level of peace has also increased. This is SUCH a blessing!  He’s been allowing me to get more work done in less time. So awesome – especially since this has left time for things like more fellow-shipping with Him 😉
  • Dyed4you sales over the last couple years looked like this Continue reading
