The Next Season

Hey friends. I'm coming on here to share my heart and to open up what's been going on with Just Starkey, and what I feel like God has for me in this next season.

Have you ever felt stuck? Or experienced a closed door in every direction you turned? This is where I have been for quite some time. Then it hit me. After talking with my super awesome friend Stephanie about what's been going on I heard God loud and clear. "The doors are being shut for a reason." Then this understanding came to me: Just because it's not working out doesn't mean you've failed. It just means that it's time for a change.

A change. My life for the past 2 years has been all about my business, and I mean EVERYTHING. I think it’s taken me getting to this place to remember what I really want to accomplish with my life and my gifts. What’s crazy is that this whole time I thought I was doing the right thing. That if I just kept pushing and trying harder, the outcome that I wanted would happen. I was trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, you know? It just doesn’t work. Ultimately I want to Honor God - with everything. I want to open my heart and share in hopes of bringing others close to Him. I want to create products that help US connect with God. I have other desires too like becoming a Mom and moving back home. I want to get back to who God has called me to be.

What does that even look like?

I’ve decided to take December off from the shop and come back in January with new products. I want to shift my business to creating things that bring Honor to God and joy to others. Joy HAS to be my guiding light. God highlighted this to me before but I keep forgetting it.

What’s going on with this group?

Please forgive me as I let this group sit on the sidelines. I want to create community and share my heart and this is the place that I want to do that. When my husband and I moved to the mountains we lost connection with our people. Ever since then, I’ve been craving connection. I know I am not alone in that and I believe that God has given us this platform to connect in ways we could not before. So…I plan on putting my energy and time in this space. Sharing my life, what I feel God is saying, praying with you, and hopefully encouraging each other. That is my hope for Created to Create.

What I am asking from you my tribe

-Please keep me in prayer as I truly seek God on what I should be creating in this time. I know that I need to finish writing the next book(s) and focus on faith-based products, but I want to make sure that I am doing it His way. Obviously doing what was right in my own eyes isn’t cutting it

There’s a poll coming up in a few hours about the next Faith Box. The Box is already finished, but I wanted to know when you think I should release it. I was just going to post that poll..but it felt weird to just jump on there and be like..”When do you want to buy things?” lol. That’s not who I am and I realized that I needed to share what’s going on so maybe you could help me make the best decision. Ok..I’m ending this book for now. Be ready for all the posts and sharing content again. I have a renewed vision and am excited for what God is about to do in this new season, and I hope you’ll join me.
