Creatives navigate in a different way to impact the world around them. Therefore they need someone who has their back in doing so—even if they may not see your vision yet, they spur you on and encourage you!
1 Thessalonians 5:11
" Therefore encourage one another and build each other up". I love this scripture! It depicts my current dating relationship. My partner in the gospel is not only my best friend, but a Godly man and my #1 fan.
As the co-founder of Faithful Fabulous Fruitful™️, it's been a journey. Creating a brand to inspire women of all walks of life with a bold statement that describes the life they’re living; has been exhilarating yet, scary! Prior to releasing this project and brand, there were a few obstacles that led me to second guess premiering the brand. One of those things being time. I understood that I needed time to devote the physical energy and mental focus in order to achieve the goal of the brand: helping women to aspire to truly embrace the brand they are wearing. Even though I was doubting if my business partner and I should bring forth our brand, God had already positioned me to have the availability to promote & use my brand for His glory.
The world has its way of constantly influencing society based on “popular demand” to be this, be that, rock this, wear that, but our aim is to create from a pure and sincere heart. Not following the trends of this world but the mission of Christ; seeking the heart of the audience the Father is looking for.
As a follower of Christ, a single mom and a creative with a big heart, God has done an amazing thing. He has prepared a man that leads boldly, listens intently and understands that he is courting a true visionary. Prior to the launch of Faithful Fabulous Fruitful, a conversation with my boyfriend encouraged me to the core. Even when I call myself dismissing my own ideas, thoughts and opinions about my brand or any subject matter, he doesn’t let me go unheard or silence me. He listens, gives me wise counsel and cheers me on; which I am extremely grateful for. It’s a big deal to be considered and heard; especially as a woman. A man that prays with and for you and your business can only be God sent. We have a sense of togetherness and mutual support in our friendship which goes along way in our relationship.
The feeling of knowing someone sincerely supports your dreams and aspirations is beyond amazing. Christian creatives can feel alone, small or even stuck and hopeless at times. We sometimes think our dreams to impact the world can drown out and die out by a million other things in this life. But that’s false because our visions, projects and way of thinking are the very reasons we won’t perish. We are needed to continue to bring about positive change and good works in a crazy world. Hebrews 10:24 “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.”
As you journey through your current project, I implore you to trust what God is doing.
Trust where He has positioned you. Trust that He has given you everything you need. Every resource, every tool, every skill for success. Trust that He chose to put something amazing on your heart to impact the masses for His glory. And trust that He will provided the right people you need to support and motivate you; be it business partner or life partner. He knows you need a #1 fan too.
Love,
Summer
