Long Transparency Post 🤍👇🏽
These past few weeks have been really, REALLY interesting.
As many of you know, aside from growing STP, I also work a full-time job. Well, I recently transitioned into a new, permanent role. 🥳
However, the start of my new “big girl” job came with MANY unforeseen delays that were completely out of my control. And honestly, while I was on the phone with my mom one day, I found myself starting to panic.
See, I was ready to worry because my flesh told me that was the “normal” way to process what was happening.
But the Lord IMMEDIATELY began speaking to me.
He reminded me that I am the lender and not the borrower, and He gave me a peace that truly surpassed all of my understanding. I honestly can’t explain it. But for those who have ever been in a position where your circumstances said one thing, but God gave you peace anyway… you know exactly what I mean.
And then, He put me to WORK. 😂
I began pouring into STP even more aggressively than before. I reached out to so many of you, made new connections, had conversations I probably wouldn’t have had otherwise, and watched new opportunities begin to unfold.
I’ve also had time to pour back into myself and some of the dreams I realized I had put on the back burner months ago. (In my defense, I was helping my sister get married, so that was definitely the priority for a while! 😂🤍)
And in the middle of all of this, VoyageMI approached me AGAIN to be featured in their latest e-magazine. ✨
God’s timing is perfect.
STP is officially expanding further into Creative Brand Strategy, alongside Social Media Management and our other creative services. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to share this new facet of my business with VoyageMI and talk about what God is doing through STP.
And I truly believe He’s doing something great in my life that isn’t just for me.
I’m sharing this testimony out of obedience, and I pray it encourages somebody who may be in a season where things aren’t happening according to your timeline.
The delay does not mean God isn’t working.
His timing IS perfect. 🤍
