I’ve deleted, created, and deleted this post like 15 times…because I’m just trying to find the words, nevertheless here it is.
I first was given the though of J3 (Joe, Jeans & Jesus) about 6 or 7 years ago. I’ve attached what I created in Canva on 7 years ago vs. what J3 looks like now. Thank God for growth right?!
But on a serious note, what I’m still left asking is why did you wait? As a recovering perfectionist. I felt like I wasn’t fully prepared or that J3 wasn’t good enough yet. I can firmly say today that this was nothing but a trick of the enemy to keep me complacent, in a space of having to have all the pieces together before I released or did anything. Now don’t get me wrong there are times where God does not give us a green light. Could we say blatant disobedience? Probably. I knew that this was something I was supposed to do, but like in the book Matthew 25, where it talks about the Parable of Talents…I was like the one who has received one talent but went a dug a hole and hid it instead.
Like why would you go and do something like that? Something so precious, an idea that God has graced your mind with. We thank the Lord anyhow, that despite digging a hole and trying to hide it he has given me constant reminders and I’ve been running. Well, that stops now. It’s my prayer that you sit back and enjoy this journey with me, and that whatever the Lord graces my spirit with and I’m lead to share that it blesses you in some way, shape, or form.
This is your formal invitation to sit back and relax while we sip on our coffee or tea and talk about all things faith-filled. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about my favorite pair of jeans.
— Until next time,
