I've always said that this bakery is God's business. And I meant it. ๐ค
So if He ever asked me to slow down, step away, or pause, I knew what my answer needed to be.
Yes, Lord.
Even if it didn't make sense. Even if it wasn't what I had planned. Even if it meant letting go of something I had worked so hard to build.
And now, here I am, walking that out.
I'm making the decision to slow down my bakery business and step into a season of being still.
Yes, I'm doing this right before the busiest time of year for bakers. ๐
When the holiday orders should be rolling in, when business should be picking up, and when the world would tell me to do more, I'm choosing to do less.
Not because the bakery is failing. Not because I'm giving up. And not because I'm walking away from baking.
But because I refuse to build something with my own hands if it means ignoring what God is asking of my heart.
This business has never been about the money. It's never been just about the orders, the growth, or how far I can take it. It's about using what God has given me for His glory and living a life fully surrendered to Him.
Surrender doesn't just mean giving God the things that are easy to give. Sometimes it means laying down good things, too. Sometimes it means trusting Him enough to loosen your grip, even when you can't see the whole picture.
I believe God is asking me to pause, be still, and make room for what He's doing next. He's already given me glimpses of what some of those things might look like through small acts of obedience, and I'm learning that I don't have to know every detail to follow His lead.
I am not here to forge my own path.
I am here to follow His.
Following Jesus often doesn't make sense by the world's standards. Sometimes it looks upside down. Sometimes obedience means doing the opposite of what seems logical. Sometimes faith looks like slowing down when everyone else says it's time to speed up.
But I'd rather walk slowly in the direction He's leading than run full speed in a direction of my own choosing.
To be clear: THE BAKERY IS NOT ENDING. ๐ค
I will still be baking. I will still be accepting orders & if you already have an order with me, this changes NOTHING. Things will just look different for now as I make room for this season God is calling me into.
I don't know exactly what every next step will look like, but I know the One I'm following. And that is enough.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this little business, placed an order, shared a post, encouraged me, and allowed me to be a small part of your celebrations. Your support means more than you know & I hope you'll still reach out to me for your future celebrations. I am so grateful that you've been part of this journey, and I'm beyond excited to see what God does in this next chapter.
Here's to releasing our own timelines, loosening our grip on our own plans, and trusting the God who sees what we cannot.
Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is stop striving long enough to hear Him.
โBe still, and know that I am God.โ
โ Psalm 46:10 (KJV) ๐ค
