Part 1 of my story.

Where do I start?

Where do I start? It's been really hard running a business now, I think going on 6 years, for 3 of those we suffered COVID years, and that was only after 1 year of running a business that was not what we thought it was, we bought a motorcycle business.

Now we are struggling through the aftermath of covid. There is light at the end of the tunnel, I'm yet to see it.

The books looked good when we first made an offer for the business, it looked like it was picking up. But in all honestly, it was very, very slow. A quiet business, there wasn't much going on. It had been running for 30 years. But that's all they managed to do is just have a shop, it wasn't going anywhere.

The workshop was, non-existent and mechanic worked 1/2 day a week and didn't really have work. He just brought his own stuff in to do.

We took on this business at a time in life where we were suffering a lot of trauma. My husband had just lost his dad to a good 3 years of sickness, which was just such a traumatic time and my mum had fallen sick the same year we decided to buy the business. We were going through the worst times of both of our lives suddenly losing our parents.

2 months later, the purchase of this motorcycle shop went through, yet my mum was gone. How was I supposed to run a business now? No time to grieve. It was really hard. I also had 2 teenage boys at home needing help and motivation in their schooling. They are my stepsons, and they live with us permanently. I have given everything I had to give these boys a life, a wonderful home, and education. I want them to succeed, so I threw everything into them. Their education, their characters, their clubs, their hobbies, everything to give them every possible chance in life as well as raising our 2 year old daughter whilst the boys were having all their mood swings and I was trying to run a business I knew nothing about.

How did I do it? There's only one way that I managed to get through the first few years. And that was by Faith.

However, about a year ago, I lost my faith. Up until then I would spend every free moment in my Bible talking to the Lord. Every step I took during the day. I asked him what I should do. Where I should go how I should do it. And yeah, it was still hard, business was hard. Life was rubbish, too stressful. Nothing working. There is no time at all, and it just got harder and harder and harder.

But in the background, I held on to my faith. I again prayed and sought guidance from God. And slowly, things started to change. Opportunities came my way, new customers started coming in, and the business started to pick up.

I also learned to prioritize and manage my time effectively. I made sure to spend quality time with my boys, focusing on their education and personal growth. I delegated tasks in the business, sought help when needed, and learned from others who had more experience in running a business.

The eldest got into the Navy, 4 years after first applying. That was another fight. But now there's no looking back. He has found himself.

Most importantly, I kept pushing forward, even when things seemed impossible. I reminded myself of why I started this business in the first place and the dreams I had for it. I refused to give up and kept working towards my goals, no matter how difficult it became.

Running a business during challenging times is never easy, but with faith, resilience, and determination, it is possible to overcome obstacles and find success. I believe that through it all, my faith in God and the support of my loved ones kept me going. And for that, I am grateful.

AMEN! Reposted from @scribbledevos Your way isn’t working anymore. You know that; you feel that. It’s time to yield, and allow the Lord to bring good things about in you and for you. Proverbs 3:5-12 // Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. . . . #dailydevotional #faithoverfear #shereadstruth #faithquotes #dailyencouragement #womenoffaith #womenofgod #biblestudy #christianquotes #Jesuslovesyou #Jesussaves #christianinspiration #christianwomen #daughteroftheking #givemeJesus #coffeeandJesus #christianliving #christianposts #bibletime #biblequotes #dailybible #Jesusandcoffee #wordbeforeworld #bedeeplyrooted #itiswell #gritandvirtue #christiancreative #womenintheword https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnimEbJVAE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Embracing the Uncharted: Supernatural Upgrade in 2024"

Hello, radiant souls!

As we bid farewell to 2023, I hope you've taken a moment to applaud yourself for the incredible journey you've traversed. Now, with the fireworks of a new year on the horizon, let's not just step into 2024; let's dance our way in with wild enthusiasm!

Imagine this: 2024, the year of UPGRADE. It's not just a calendar flip; it's an invitation to experience something supernatural. My pastor, Dharius Daniels, proclaimed this word for Change Church, and guess what? It resonates so beautifully with our UnCaiged ethos. This year is all about living FREE, not just restored but upgraded to a level that's beyond our wildest dreams.

Think about it: restoration means returning to the original state, but darling, you've evolved. You're not the same person who walked into the past season. God's not just restoring; He's UPGRADING you. So, let's leave the dead things behind—those old mindsets, doubts, and limitations—they don't belong in our 2024 narrative.

Picture this year as a canvas awaiting your vibrant strokes. You, my fellow beauties, are the artists, crafting a masterpiece of courage, audacity, and confidence. It's about moving forward without the weight of detailed plans; after all, what lies ahead is nothing short of supernatural!

Let's redefine the term 'influence' this year. Be an InfluencHER—teach, inspire, and impact in your unique, dazzling way. Your gifts are meant to touch lives, and in 2024, let's amplify that impact.

As you step into this uncharted territory, remember: enthusiasm is your sidekick, courage is your armor, and confidence is your crown. Expect the unexpected because what's coming is greater than what was. Don't worry about normal expectations; embrace the extraordinary!

So, here's to the adventure of 2024, filled with laughter, sparkle, and the joy of being an InfluencHER. May this year be the chapter where you unleash your supernatural, upgraded self and dazzle the world with your radiance.

With heaps of glitter and infinite sparkles,

Caige Phoenix

Bertha's Battle: A Story of Resilience and Faith in the Face of Adversity

Bertha Kreinhop's story of faith and survival is a true testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In her book, "Bertha's Battle," Bertha shares her inspiring journey through a life filled with unimaginable challenges, including the loss of her parents, a debilitating illness, and the horrors of World War II.

Despite these hardships, Bertha never lost faith in herself or her higher power. She remained steadfast in her beliefs and found the strength to carry on, even when the odds seemed insurmountable. Her unwavering faith and determination to overcome adversity serve as a powerful reminder that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle in our path.

Bertha's story is a source of inspiration for anyone who has ever faced adversity in their own lives. Her unwavering faith and unshakeable spirit serve as a reminder that no matter how difficult our circumstances may seem, we have the power to persevere and overcome.

At its core, "Bertha's Battle" is a story of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of light, and that with faith and determination, we can overcome anything that comes our way.

From her family and friends to her fellow survivors of World War II, Bertha found strength in the connections she had with others. And it was this sense of community that helped her persevere through even the toughest times.

In conclusion, Bertha's story is a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and determination that lies within each of us. It teaches us that with faith, perseverance, and the support of those around us, we can overcome even the greatest challenges.

#WhyRegularNoLongerServesYou About a year after I returned to Louisiana, I met my Pastor to learn about ways I could serve at my church. ⛪ Now prior to my meeting I KNEW God had been REALLY pressing me to share my call to ministry. So I went to him, had a great conversation about the ministry I'd done in my former church and what I thought I could bring to my current church. I agreed to head up a ministry, which I did, only to go back the next year for the REAL conversation I was supposed to have. He knew it. 😂 A sista had ALL the feels because of the following in having the necessary conversation because of the following: 1. Concerned about how I'd be received. 2. My initial experience in sharing my call was not positive. 3. My ministry path was not traditional and I was concerned if they'd "get" it. See I settled for the regular, the norm of what and where I thought church culture would accept me as a woman. It was safe and a SUBSTITUTE. However, I was unable to rest until I confessed my truth. When I reflect, this has happened far too many times than I care to think about. Many of us have been conditioned to take good enough vs. God's best. There's a difference and He's not just concerned with helping us get by, but to thrive! It's quite possible we miss experiencing the exceedingly and abundantly because we settled for substitutes. Think About This: 1. Where are you operating with substitutes in your life? 2. How can you begin the path to embracing and accepting God's best vs.Good enough? #RegularNoLongerServesYou #QueenlyandConfident #WomenOfTheBible #WomenOfFaith #TheChosen #TheCalled https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnDmc9ptDT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
