What God Taught Me About Trust, Truth, and Starting Anyway

The night before launch, I was riddled with anxiety.

I had repeatedly reviewed everything, the product details, the grammar, the visuals. Everything was set to go. But still, I wrestled with fear. What if no one buys anything? What if people don’t get it? What if I fail?

But in the quiet moments, I kept hearing the same truth: God is with you. And because He was with me, I didn’t have to worry. I could walk into this new space with faith, not fear.

And then it happened.

My first sale.

I wasn’t surprised that someone believed in the brand; I knew there were people who would support. But seeing that first alert hit my phone was something else entirely. It was confirmation. It was joy. It reminded me that God was not just with me in theory but with me in movement.

This first week taught me something priceless: consistency matters more than exertion. I don’t have to force or push or perform. I just have to show up. Daily. Faithfully. Obediently. God will handle the rest.

People have encouraged me, complimented the designs, and even commented online saying, “I love this.” (I might need to follow up on that one!) Of all the designs, it’s the Truth Collection that has resonated most. The Juneteenth Collection speaks deeply, but it requires some reflection, and I’ve realized not everyone will slow down enough to read. And that’s okay.

The hardest part? Walking up to people and sharing the brand in person. Inviting them to visit the site. Encouraging them to subscribe or take a look. That part still makes me nervous. But I know it’s necessary.

If there’s one truth God anchored in me this week, it’s this: He is my source.
Not people. Not products. Not platforms. Him.

He started this journey, sustains it, and will see it through, not just for me but for everyone this brand is meant to reach.

So here I am. One week in. Still walking. Still trusting.

And praying that when people wear Threaded Truth, they’re not just wearing apparel—they’re wearing His Word. And maybe, just maybe, someone who doesn’t yet know Him will ask, “What does that mean?” And the door will open.
