Progress

So, I don't think I mentioned since starting this blog that I have a serious love for fashion. From since I can remember, I have had my own style and often used my creative eye to create and express myself in my own way. Years ago, after frequenting stores and noticing how pricey things were..and saying quite a few times "How much is that? What!? I could make that!", I decided to start making clothes. So, after a few projects here and there, including an outfit I made for myself for an all-black party and some praise dance attire I made for a few groups, I decided to start my own business. Eventually, after hearing a special word repeatedly in sermons given by my pastor at the time, I came up with the name...Provisions. Its interesting that the word provisions is often referred to as something being provided "beforehand". To me, it is a reference to the fact that God will supply all of my needs. Now that I looked it up and see the connection with "beforehand", it speaks to me even more. God has had a plan for me and my life since before I was even conceived. Everything has been laid out and provided for me well before I caught up. He has done the same for you too. Have you ever noticed how its seems like things we have gone through in the past prepared us for whatever we are experiencing at the moment? I know there are countless things that I have gone through in life that prepared me for things that happened later. As they say, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. It also prepares you, giving you experiences that enable you to be more knowledgable about how to handle situations. Since I started my business in 2006, I have learned alot about proper business etiquette, networking, and marketing. It was pretty much trial and error, but I appreciate every moment and wouldn't change anything for the world. I am who I am today because of what I have gone through yesterday. And I am SO totally looking forward to seeing who I become tomorrow after what I have grown from today!

Blessings!
