End Of Year Note From Britt
This year has been one for the books. It's been a combination of challenge and holy moments. Can anyone relate? It's been about three key things.
1. Facing the circumstances we are dealt and realizing the way it makes us feel
2. How we take that "realization" to the Lord in reliance on His goodness, strength, and love
3. Our ability to then respond in love and grounded in truth
Personally, this year started with:
- enjoying our first pup (also known as the W&HC floor manager), Tucker
- hopes of starting our trying to conceive journey
- this year has ended with:
- opportunity to steward what we have WELL. For us, this is our apartment, marriage, family of three (Michael, Tuck, and I), the blessing to do life with really good friends, service opportunities, and more...
- confidence in God's greater vision and faithfulness over our lives
- growing confidence in myself as a vessel for the Kingdom
Professionally, this year started with:
- my first full-time year for W&HC
- a dream (and signed contracts) for another large Wheatful Woman Event in Dallas
- and many other dreams for this business the Lord blew out of the water
- this year has ended with:
- a growing community of over 34K women
- an unplanned (for us) podcast launch
- new tools in the shop (Advent Devotional, Wheatful Woman Planner, hand-painted journals)
- our first-ever small retreat-style event
- the opportunity for me to coach other business owners (something that lights a FIRE in me)
My prayer and dream for this community this year has been that I would have a heightened ability to LISTEN to what y'all need and that our team of women would be able to create tools to equip you to 1) realize, 2) rely and 3) respond. We had the opportunity to scratch the surface this year and have felt the Lord stirring to keep flaming that fire in 2021 with a series of new tools like Warrior Words: a scripture reference tool, a prayer journal, a Wheatful Woman Devotional book, and more hitting the shop soon!
I know this year played out far more different than any of us imagined but my hope and prayer is that we can each look back on the moments and blessings we are forever changed by for the better. I pray we each can spend a few moments today and tomorrow reflecting on how much more we know our God BECAUSE of this year. Circumstance cannot change His peace.
Here's to a God that is GREATER, STRONGER, WISER, and more loving than we will ever be able to comprehend but get to rest in, believe in, and hope for every day.
I love y'all,
Britt

Finding purpose in every opportunity
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:15-17 I don’t know about you, but there are times when I get so caught up in ‘what is my purpose’ that I tend to lose sight of what God has right in front of me. I love the scripture in Ephesians that highlights ‘making the most of every opportunity,’ as a beautiful reminder that each da...
Seasons
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven:...” Winter has come and gone, once again; and ladies, Spring is here! Have you noticed (and I am sure you have...) that the seasons never change their order?Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. Just as specific as God was with the order of each season, He is even more specific with the plan/order for our lives. In Daniel 2:21, we are reminded of God’s sovereignty in the midst of all seasons: “He changes...
Steadfast
Two-part scripture readings for this week ladies! Write these scriptures where you can see and dwell on them throughout the remainder of the week! “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:8With that being said... “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 ESV Our hope is in Christ, alone. In John 16:33, Jesus warns us that this world will provide nothing but trouble for us. He encou...
