Building Without Breaking: Creating a System That Honors God First

I used to think that starting meant sprinting.

Every time God gave me a vision, I’d try to launch it fast, post about it, turn it into a campaign, and run it like I saw the “experts” do. But what I didn’t realize was that I was building too many things at once without a system that honored the One who gave them to me.

I’ve tried to start several businesses, many of which had good ideas. But I haven’t always been faithful to them. The only assignment I’ve remained truly consistent with is Touching Heart. And looking back, I can see why: it wasn’t rooted in trying to impress or produce. It was born out of obedience. It was about people. It was about purpose. It was about God.

Somewhere along the way, I allowed pressure to replace peace. I listened to gurus who told me I needed a niche, a funnel, a brand voice that didn’t sound like me. I started bending my identity to fit into strategies that left no room for the Holy Spirit. I kept trying to “scale,” but what I needed was to surrender.

Now? I’m still building, but I’m doing it differently. I’m listening more than I’m speaking. I’m praying more than I’m posting. I’m moving with rhythm, not rush.

God gave me several assignments, including ministries, businesses, books, and products, and each serves a different need. But now I see they were never competing. They were just waiting for me to organize them in a way that reflected their shared purpose: to glorify God and build a legacy through obedience.

So I’ve created a printable system behind the scenes. It helps me manage everything without losing the why. It’s not about hustle, it’s about stewardship. And while I’m not sharing the whole system yet, I’ll say this: it’s working. And it’s coming.

I’m learning that God doesn’t give multi-gifted women multiple assignments to overwhelm us. He gives them so we can pour differently at different times, in various ways, for other people. The key isn’t doing it all at once. It’s staying faithful, one page at a time.

I will not be foolish and put limits on God or myself.

So I’m building with both hands open: one for work, the other for worship.
