If there's something I've learned in life, it most definitely is that nothing ever stays the same. Change is inevitable for growth. It's not always (and by not always I mean NEVER) a fun process to be strained and strengthened, but it is a requirement to make room for bigger, better things. With that being said, and without further ado.... I must warn you.... brace yourself! We have a lot to tell and I hate to disappoint you, but it's going to take several blogs to set up all the amazing things God has been doing in our lives. So stay tuned, because there's more to come. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss each update along the way because the blogs will get better and better, because the best is yet to come!
I'm not sure where you came in on our lives, if you've known us our whole lives, if you've found us through our journey, or perhaps you've just stumbled upon us, whatever the scenario... don't fret! This is the perfect time to catch up.
Joel and I have been a little MIA on social media since late April. Some major changes were happening in our family with loss and some unavoidable challenges, but the outcome is just evidence that God is good all the time. The change required us to focus our efforts on our home and our loved ones and take our eyes off the world temporarily. And sometimes life does that.
If you have been following my former blog and mine and Joel's story from years ago, you'll recognize the phrase "Speak Now". My sister and I created this movement in 2012 in effort to create a platform in which people could boldly tell their stories, where God took tragedy in their lives and turned it to triumph. Where he took all things in their life and worked them out for their good. These stories are the embodiment of pain, suffering, abuse, divorce, heart break... the list goes on. Well... I'm happy to announce that a lifelong dream is coming forth in a BIG way!
My sister has joined our team! Yes the JPF team! She and I had the map and this gigantic dream of what it would look like to run our ministry and business as one. And we FINALLY are! The time is now. It is a lot to process, but if you take a look around our new website, it might help showcase all our hearts' desires. We have gone back to the drawing board and business plans, and we are going to be incorporating all the talents and gifts God has given us to inspire, equip, and empower others!
Say Hello to Savannah!!!
