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

Not to Worry
You, my friend, are capable of walking through hard situations with boldness and confidence, trusting that God is right there with you. There may be chaos happening around us but we get to show up with a boldness and a peace that transcends any worry- trusting that God is our ultimate provider. He is our road and staff in any darkness. Thank you, Jesus, for making a way for us to live in peace, without any worry, regardless of our circumstances!
Pushing Back Darkness
Take hope in 2021! Jesus is the lamp beneath our feet. Walk into each day this year with the confidence that the brightness of Jesus shines through you and you have access to the Light right now and in the days to come!
No battle is too big for our God
Do you always believe that we love and serve a God that chooses to be in our midst, that will rejoice over you with gladness, quiet you by his love, and exult over you with loud singing? Every time I read over each of those statements in scripture, my heart swells with gladness. We love and worship a God that CHOOSES to be in our midst. He is fully present where we are. If we pray to have eyes to see His goodness and mercy in the day, we would see His grace woven all throughout our day. Even ...
