The Journey Within: Growth and Grace

... the journey started long before the site went live. It began in the quiet spaces, months ago, with designs for the studio and my heart determined to embrace the unfamiliar.

Learning technology wasn’t just about understanding tools; it was about discovering patience, finding joy in small victories, and accepting the stumbles as part of the process. Then came the deeper challenge: learning to listen—not just to the world around me but to the still, small voice of God. That meant surrendering the need for control, trading anxious striving for trust, and allowing myself to be guided, even when the path felt uncertain.

Oh, and the discipline! Let’s talk about the discipline. The discipline to close Facebook after a few minutes instead of losing hours to mindless scrolling. The discipline to quiet the inner critic—the one that whispers doubts and plants seeds of insecurity. "This is a waste of time," it says. "Who are you to share this message? What difference does it make?"

And yet, in the face of those voices, I’ve learned to remind myself of the truth: It’s not about the numbers, the sales, or the praise. It’s about the message. It’s about encouragement. And, most importantly, it’s about obedience to the calling placed on my heart.
