Back in June as the Summer began, I had lots of "big ideas" for The Craft Pantry over the Summer. Though I wasn't ready to hear it at first, God had other plans. As I worked on these new designs, ideas and projects, things were imbalanced and not coming together at all. One struggle after another.
This was in stark contrast to the easy, breezy, busyness I had been
enjoying in months prior. All of a sudden, routine tasks were hard, frustrating, stressful and
everything that could break did. Even so, I kept pushing forward determined to make the Summer months exciting for The Craft Pantry. No, such luck. At the end of June, my Hard Drive crashed...toasted, done, no go, inoperable, finished. Now, I knew I couldn't run a shop without my computer,
design files, etc. Finally, (I'm
the kind of gal who needs to be hit over the head on
occasion to get the point), I
listened to His plan.
I closed shop in July out of necessity, then I closed shop in August out of desire. While The Craft Pantry has been dormant for 2 months, I was given the gift of an amazing Summer immersed in the
life's of my two small children and husband. Priceless!
Now, refreshed, re-prioritized and re-balanced, it's time to open The Craft Pantry again. Amazing how easily things fall into place when it's His will. So, next week, before Sept 12, The Craft Pantry doors will open and I welcome you all inside! I'm excited about the new season!
