Today, I delivered the last of the ‘FEED MY SHEEP’ hoodies and I wanted to impart a last farewell to my launch. I haven’t shared this, but the truth is I had started jesuslovesmeco many months ago really enthusiastically, but I dropped it because I was scared of failing. In my heart, I still felt this pull, God telling me to have faith and to try. But I just could not get myself to go public because I knew if I failed, I would then be a public failure.
The launch of these hoodies started with a haircut. Some weeks ago, I got my barber to cut my hair, and after that I’m not gonna lie, I was feeling mad confident LOL. It led to me asking my brother that same day to go take some pictures of me wearing my sample. I figured I already put a ton of time, money, and energy into this so I might as well give it one last shot. And so, I did. I was with my friends on zoom after our bible study to launch my brand and we were all on call waiting with anticipation.
I got about 5 orders including my friends’ that night, and I thought that was the end. But the next day, my phone was blowing up with orders and I just could not believe it. I only expected about 5 people to buy my hoodies, but I was able to sell 30 at launch!!!
It's insane to think I was going to give up, and if I did, I would never have experienced this. If anything God has taught me this summer, it's that I should get haircuts more often LOL. But seriously, if you ever feel a slight inclination to do anything, trust God and watch Him work miraculously in your life!
