I just launched my new business, Originally Crowned, and its website this week… This is big for me and is another leap of faith in my journey of trusting God completely. I don’t have the experience or know the whole plan yet; only the steps He lines out for me daily. “Done, not perfect” has been my mantra, and trusting God to make it all beautiful and work out according to His will.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT) says, “Trust in the Lord completely and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart, rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go!”
On Wednesday, in the middle of preparing to launch my website, I found out that my printing company for the Christian apparel line I created was not going to be able to connect to my online store. Immediately, these intense feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, and frustration began to hit me. I started questioning whether I heard God correctly about where to host my website and whether should I even launch right now. I thought I would have to create a whole new website on a different platform and scrambled to start the process... I also began researching online to find different solutions and I couldn’t find one, and customer service wasn’t helping either.
I started the process of creating a new site, and it was frustrating and time-consuming. While I was worried about finishing before 9 pm, I realized that I didn’t have worship music playing in the background like I usually try to do. I decided that instead of worrying about this problem, I need to worship God. So that's what I did. The song “Wait On You” by Maverick City started playing and immediately my perspective shifted, I started praising God for His goodness, and giving Him back His business and my control. I put back my trust in Him and asked Him to lead me in what to do.
I remembered that God gave me this idea, and this was His baby, I was His employee. So since He gave it to me, I believed He will work it out! God had me do another search, and He gave me the phrase to look up, and immediately the answer to my problem appeared.
Praise God!! He is truly in control. And I thank Him for the snapback, because a year ago, this would have been different, and I may have even delayed my launching… But God! It was in the waiting, waiting for Him to lead me, and not continuing to move forward and trying to figure it out for myself, that I received the answer to this situation.
So y’all, I am proud to announce the grand opening of Originally Crowned and www.originallycrowned.com
