Closing One Chapter

Today marks my last day in my 9–5, and it's a bittersweet moment.

Not because I'm unsure of what's ahead, but because of the incredible people I'm leaving behind.

Over the past week, so many of my colleagues have shared words of encouragement with me. I don't think they'll ever truly know how much those conversations have meant.

One comment in particular has stayed with me.

After I was sharing the vision behind Must Seed, one of my colleagues said something along the lines of, "You don't even seem nervous or scared about this next step. It just seems like you're surrounded by support, and you're genuinely excited."

That really stopped me.

Because they're right.

Since I started telling the people around me that I was leaving a secure job without another one lined up, I was met with a lot of questions.

Some encouraged me to have a backup plan. Others reminded me not to rely on anyone else. And sometimes, I didn't even need people to say anything - I could see the shock on their faces.

To be fair, I completely understood where they were coming from. They cared about me and genuinely wanted what was best for me.

But despite all of that, the overwhelming feeling I had wasn't fear - it was excitement.

And maybe that's what obedience to God feels like.

Honestly, I can't say I've ever experienced this before.

Normally, we want to control everything. We want a five-year plan, financial certainty, and to know exactly where life is heading before we take the first step.

But I don't know where this journey will lead.

Must Seed might succeed beyond anything I imagined, or it might completely flop.

But I'll never know if I don't have the courage to pursue what I believe God has placed on my heart.

Everyone starts somewhere.

For the first time in my life, I don't feel the need to grip the steering wheel so tightly. I'm choosing to surrender it to God. I'm trusting that His plans are greater than my own.

And as I jokingly like to say...

He's a girl dad. 🤍

My fiancé has also been my biggest supporter throughout all of this. Having someone beside me who believes in the vision, encourages me, and continually points me back to trusting God has been such a gift.

So today, I leave this chapter with nothing but gratitude.

Gratitude for an incredible workplace, for the people who believed in me, and for the opportunity to step into something that feels deeply purposeful.

This is only the beginning.

I'm excited to start sharing more of the behind-the-scenes, the real journey of building Must Seed, founder updates, and soon... videos. And before long, I'll also be introducing the other founder behind Must Seed.

Thank you for being here.

Stay tuned. 🌱
