I founded Project 418 Co in 2025, but it started in 2016 as an Instagram account called Life Petals to spread Christian encouragement. It then grew into an online ministry and Christian merchandise store. Unexpectedly, in 2021, the Lord directed me to shut everything down. He said, “quality over quantity,” and though it was difficult, I listened. I didn’t know what He had in store, but I knew I wanted the destiny He created for me, and a new journey began. 

I honestly thought He was only talking about providing a better quality store. It wasn’t until He put me in the fire that I realized He was talking about a better quality, me. He stripped me down to the bare minimum. I became financially unstable, and I had to let go of my home, clothes, and furniture, while bills kept piling up, cut off from most people, divorce papers were still drying, and I was raising a teen son and guiding my young adult daughter. So, many months of anger, tears, confusion, and fear, but I buckled down and tried to stay focused on God.

After roughly a year of struggling and making many mistakes, God finally sent help. No, not financial help, but spiritual help. He introduced me to a new friend who quickly became my mentor, pastor, and spiritual father. Through his guidance, teaching, covering, and patience (because I was a stubborn crybaby), God began using him to help me walk in my purpose. He has helped me gain a deeper understanding of God, myself, and who I was created to be. He has shown me how to swing my sword, while walking with grace, mercy, and obedience to God, even when I don’t feel like it. I can honestly say I am now more focused and anchored in Jesus than I have ever been in my 20+ years of ministry.

I had to lose myself to be rebuilt in God’s will. It’s been a tough four years. There have been major spiritual battles, setbacks, heartbreak, betrayal, and frustration just to reach this point, this purpose, this beginning. I won’t pretend that my life is now just full of rainbows and sunshine and every day I’m skipping through meadows. Suffering is a part of discipleship in Christ, and I still have much to learn, more consecration to give, and work to do. The truth is, God is just now releasing me to start this part of my journey. 

I know the kingdom of darkness isn’t about to roll out the red carpet and let me move forward without a fight. But this time, I know my calling, my purpose, and who I am in God. I don’t fight alone; I have the backing of God the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and His angels. This time, I have a solid covering, vision, and instructions, and I move forward with the authority I possess through the blood and name of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost. 

I am on a mission to prepare the way for the Lord’s return and to help as many people as God sends me, so they can walk in their purpose, equipped and strong in the Lord. And every gift, talent, ability, resource, and anointing God has given me is for the building of His Kingdom here on earth and the destruction of Satan’s.
