I Got It Wrong
Hello Lovelies,
Welcome to God Is So Kind & Co.
If you’ve been here for a while, then you know this space once looked very different. What started as sharing pieces of my life through blogs, business, and storytelling has now become something deeper…a space fully surrendered to the Lord and committed to following Him wherever He leads.
There’s still so much I’ll share along the way, but first, I think it’s important to tell the truth.
The truth is… I got it wrong.
Over the last year, the Lord has been undoing, rebuilding, correcting, humbling, and teaching me in ways I never expected. I’m now coming up on a year since closing one of the biggest chapters of my life with MissToo Made It: Greek Boutique, and while I’ve learned so much through that transition, this blog specifically is about another area where the Lord had to lovingly correct me:
My ambition.
My striving.
And my tendency to move ahead of Him.
So let’s start there.
The Beginning
In January 2025, I launched God Is So Kind & Co.
The vision came from a mix of MissToo Made It and my walk with Christ. The pieces reflected Christ, but the design style reflected what I knew from MissToo. I had a desire to create a Christian line, so I used the knowledge and resources I already had.
The first launch did really well. I even had to restock.
But after that… everything slowed down.
Inventory wasn’t moving the same. I had a lot of product sitting. And I found myself asking:
“Lord… did I get it wrong?”
“Was this even You?”
At the same time, I was closing MissToo Made It, so the weight of that transition alone was heavy. Still, before I paused, I tried everything in my own strength. Content, ads, strategy… all of it.
And if I’m honest… I didn’t even feel connected to the pieces I created. I was building from what I knew, not necessarily from what He said.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5
The Shift
By summer 2025, I finally paused everything.
Then in June, the Lord gave me a very clear vision for a specific product. It was detailed. It was different. And it was leading God Is So Kind into the boutique world.
I created a digital mockup and was so excited… but also nervous.
“Lord… how am I supposed to do this?”
So I started researching. Reaching out to manufacturers. Trying to bring it to life.
But I hit roadblocks.
And instead of waiting… I pivoted.
The Detour
My mind started racing.
“What else can I do in the meantime?”
Then it hit me… a women’s boutique.
I had always wanted one. I even considered incorporating it into MissToo Made It before. So I thought:
“Maybe now is the time.”
I prayed about it… but if I’m honest, I didn’t get a clear yes. But I also didn’t feel a no. And instead of waiting for clarity, I moved anyway.
I booked a trip to Nashville. Went to market. Met vendors. And from there, I started building GISK Boutique.
Website updates. Collections. Storylines. Content. Strategy.
It was a lot.
Striving Instead of Surrender
I got to a place where I was striving… and striving… for God.
That’s the scary part.
I was honoring Him outwardly, but I was not being obedient to what He originally told me to do.
And that’s when it hit me:
You can look like you’re doing things for the Kingdom… and still not be in the will of God.
“This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” — Matthew 15:8
I felt it.
His hand wasn’t on it.
I was overwhelmed. I was sharing things I wasn’t even ready to share. I was saying “in the name of Christ”… but moving in strategy, not submission.
So after sitting with wise counsel… I stopped.
No more content.
No more inventory.
No more pushing.
I took my hands off of it.
The Revelation
In the months that followed, the Lord—in His kindness—showed me where I got it wrong.
He had already given me a clear vision in June of 2025.
But instead of partnering with Him in how He wanted it done…
I gave up on the process and chose a different direction.
One He never told me to take.
And it cost me.
Time.
Money.
Energy.
But more than that… it brought me to repentance.
“To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22
That scripture hit different.
Because I realized… I was being like Saul.
Partially obedient.
Doing what made sense to me.
Still trying to “honor God” in it… but not actually obeying Him fully.
(Go read 1 Samuel 15:7–24… that was me.)
The Heart Check
One night I asked the Lord,
“Where did I go wrong?”
The next morning… I had my answer.
And I was grieved.
Like… deeply grieved.
“How did I do this?”
And the truth was simple:
It was the ambition in me that hadn’t fully died yet.
For so long, I was used to getting a vision and bringing it to life quickly.
That worked in the world.
That worked for MissToo Made It.
But it does not work in the Kingdom.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” — Zechariah 4:6
What I’m Learning
God Is So Kind & Co. is not just a business.
It’s Kingdom work.
And that means:
I don’t move without Him
I don’t build outside of His instruction
I don’t rush what He told me to steward
Even if I don’t understand the timing.
Even if it’s slower than I want.
Even if it stretches me.
Because delayed obedience… is still disobedience.
Where I Am Now
Now here I am… a year after closing MissToo Made It.
And honestly?
I can finally say I see the kindness of God in all of it.
Not just in the wins.
Not just in the answered prayers.
But even in the correction.
Even in the stopping.
Even in the pruning.
Even in the exposure of the parts of me that still wanted control.
This past year has been one of the most refining seasons of my life. The Lord has taught me so much about obedience, surrender, stewardship, waiting well, and what it truly means to build with Him instead of simply building for Him.
And while this blog tells the story of how I got it wrong with God Is So Kind & Co., I’ll share more in another blog about what this last year has looked like since closing MissToo Made It and everything the Lord has been teaching me through that transition.
But for now, this is where I am:
Back at His feet.
Learning to move at His pace.
Learning to partner with Heaven instead of my own ambition.
Learning that obedience is better than performance every single time.
And even here…
God is still so kind.
His Daughter,
