I was very hesitant to post this because it seemed selfish to me. And I'm sure I'll end up rambling, so please bear with me. Last year, God brought me an idea for an online store. As much as it made sense, and as much as I knew it was from Him, I resisted the idea because I didn't have any money (nor a job at the time) to invest in a store. I was directed to a website that helps people set up their own stores to sell t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. and I started designing right away. As of now, my designs are still rather simplistic, but I've always believed in simple designs for shirts. Gives the eye less to take in and makes it easier to get the message across. I didn't open the store right away because I wanted to have a decent selection before I did. I opened the store in April, and so far sales have been WAY low. I gotta tell ya that there have been times (quite a few of them) that I've wondered if I was even supposed to open this store, and every time God sends reassurance my way. He does this by way of friends, family, my pastor, etc. This is the part where I was hesitant. Please pray for God to send customers my way. As of now I have no advertising budget, so it's all word of mouth advertising. I've had a lot of people promise to buy things, but so far nobody (of those that promised) have.
At one time I had prayed for a business partner to assist with the advertising budget, and I'm still seeking one. But I do know that God can make this business grow with or without a partner. Who knows? He may send a partner my way, or He may choose to grow this business using other means. I know He can, and I trust that He loves me.
