Confirmations, Answers, and Provision

I blog tonight out of complete awe in what's happened in the last 24 hours. Most details will be spared to "protect the innocent" until everything is settled. Sorry to you nosey readers! ;)

It's funny how when you question the path your on and the vision you have, God comes along side you and confirms your directions. About 2 weeks ago (or so), my wonderful friend at the Mama Always Said kiosk in Park Meadows Mall said that she wasn't sure she was able to continue selling my Bumble Cover's because they weren't selling. **I completely understand from the business point of view that if she has things on her kiosk that are not making her money, she really can't afford them. I totally get it and I'd do the EXACT same thing.** I was/am heartbroken. She's had a few months recently that NONE have sold. Not one. I get so discouraged when that happens. I start to wonder if I really DO have a good product that's well made. I start to wonder if I'm just fighting an uphill battle in an already too flooded market. There are nursing covers GALORE out there. I have to admit that my persistence with this is only because my nursing covers are different. It's MORE than "just" a nursing cover--much more. Is there a market for it? Is it worth the hassle? These thoughts have been running thru my head for the last few weeks as I figure out what I should do with it all. It's been 3 years and feels like it's gone almost nowhere, even though I've blessed more people than I probably know. So, thru a crazy series of events, there's an amazingly generous few people who have come behind me and backed me with this business--just in time. I LOVE what I do and was really struggling with the thought of having to "let go". These unnamed people are making a way for me to proceed to the next step towards my ultimate goal of mass producing (whether on American soil or overseas...) and being able to pitch to a room full of "buyers" for large corporations such as Nordstroms, Target, Macy's, etc... and successfully produce my nursing covers to supply the demand of these stores. This has all started with a simple conversation and ended in a way I never could have DREAMED of! AND, in the midst of it all, I get to bless 75 women with Bumble Covers by the end of this year. That's a daunting task, but one I'll gladly take. These women may not have the financial means to purchase one and with the generosity I've been given, they'll now be able to have one. I've always said that EVERY WOMAN should be able to nurse comfortably in public and if one can't afford it, I do everything I can to try and help. Most times I can't financially do anything and it tears. me. apart. Now, these 75 women are going to be blessed this Christmas season. My prayer is that they are faithful with what they've been given and pay it forward when their time comes. This is my ultimate dream and I get to live it. And, you better believe I'm gonna pray over each cover as I sew it! :)

All of this to say, God knows the desires of you heart. He know what you need and when you need it. The second you start to question what direction you're supposed to take, He'll confirm it for you. He'll be the one to tell you what to do next. With Bumble Cover, it's happened time and time again. EVERY TIME I start to question whether this is right for our family, I ALWAYS get a confirmation that I'm doing the right thing. Always.

You know who you are and all I can say is, thank you. This means more to me than you'll ever know.
