7.9.25 - is this an answered prayer?
Good morning ,
I don't know if you saw my email a few weeks ago about getting Naturally Created 4 You on Faire, but we're on Faire! I want to rewind and share with you how this happened and hopefully it will bring some encouragement.
One of the biggest struggles I had when I started wholesaling was that other people would be getting credit for the products I created. I would ship out thousands of dollars of products every month to businesses across the United States, and these businesses would put their own label on MY products. It was selfish of me, but that's the honest truth about how I felt when I first started wholesaling. Why couldn't people find out about NC4Y instead? Then I realized how much bigger of a purpose wholesale had in my entrepreneurship journey. Through the wholesale side of my business I learned lessons in business that may have taken me years to learn in retail. I learned to take risks, and when the risks didn't go as planned, to keep going. I learned that talking about my faith is what set me apart, and people actually cared about shopping with a Christian business. I learned that it's about serving others. I learned that the only way I could survive in entrepreneurship is if I gave it all to God. I learned that money is never a source, and my gift is not measured by money. I learned how to run a profitable business, without discounting my value. I learned that failure is a part of life.
Fast forward to 2024, I had rebranded Naturally Created 4 You, and I wanted to get my own products into some stores. Nothing like Target or Ulta, but some small businesses who share the same beliefs as I do. 2024 came and went and I hadn't reached out to any stores. I didn't have time to reach out to companies or go drive around the city looking for them. I simply prayed and asked God to send the businesses to me if this was something he wanted me to do. Shortly after that I received a message on Instagram about possibly having my products in her salon. Other messages came in over 2025, but it wasn't the right timing. I would remember that prayer from time to time, and would remind God. "Hey God, you know I want my products in stores. You know I have no idea where to start nor do I have the time to reach out to all these places. If this is something you want, send the businesses to me."
A few weeks ago, I was talking to a friend of mine and she was telling me about Faire. It's a wholesale platform for businesses to sell their products to other businesses for resale. A business coach told me about Faire when I first launched NC4Y but I didn't understand it. I heard about it again from another business friend a couple years ago, but didn't do any research. So when my friend told me about Faire a few weeks ago I didn't think much about it at first, but I listened. She was selling her products with her brand label to other businesses. This is exactly what I had been praying about. After hearing her experience, I decided to give it a try. I set up an account the same day and by the next day I received my first order.
I shipped the order out, and a couple days later I got another order from Faire that will ship out this week. Praise the Lord!
I'll share another prayer with you. I asked God a couple months ago to provide a way for me to make another $1000-1500 month. I don't know if this is an answered prayer to that increase. What I do know is I'm excited to see what happens through Faire. It amazes me how God works. I'm sitting here in Louisville, KY. I didn't have to reach out to any companies to carry my products, but somehow my products are in TN and on the way to GA. God blows my mind every time.
Sometimes we can hear stories and think they happened over night. We can wonder when God will hurry up and do something for us. We don't know the behind of the scenes or the journey to get there. We don't know how many conversations were had or how long they waited. We can look at social media and assume it just happened overnight. I shared this with you to remind you that God is faithful. Not much over here happens overnight. I just continue to seek God and his will. I don't always get it right, but God continues to teach me.
I hope this messages blesses you and reminds you to put your trust in the Lord. He knows what is good for us.
I appreciate you being part of this community—it's always more than skin care. 💛
