Putting It In God's Hands
Over the last few months, we have been very slow at the shop and we have faced some personal struggles. I have been watching our reach and engagement dwindle on our Facebook page and have poured hours into trying to boost it. I have feared we will not succeed. We have each poured so much of our hearts, time and money into our store. We wholeheartedly believe in each of our artisans and their creative gifts and want to see them thrive as we want to thrive as well.
Well, tonight I had an epiphany thanks to one of the pages I follow on Facebook (The Homestead). They were kind enough to feature our Facebook page today. I decided to hop on their page and take a thorough look because I know I don't see everything they post in my newsfeed. What I found as I perused their page was not only beautiful vintage items, decorating ideas, and recipes but a lot of God inspired quotes and scripture. These spoke to me. What they said was this is what is missing in your life and in your business. God provided us with the opportunity to bring our dream to life. God provided us with not only our own talents but with the talents of all the artisans that entrust us with their creations. We used to start every day with prayer before we opened our doors. We have all been juggling so much personally and with the store that we (at least I) have started jumping right in and getting to work. Well God spoke to me tonight through a wonderful facebook page and I have realized that we need to change our habits. I also used to post inspirational quotes and have focused more on our business posts. Without God, we wouldn't have this business. I am very thankful for the blessings He has given even though I have done a poor job in showing it. It's time to put this all back in God's hands again.
