A Ministry Relaunch & A Heart Restored!

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.”—Proverbs 13:12 (NLT)

Wow. I’m honestly excited to be writing this, aka typing this! Shift Worthy Ministries is relaunching! This is a new beginning. A new era. So... welcome!

I don’t have anything fancy planned, no big launch products or flashy new colors. All I have is Jesus and a testimony, and honestly, that’s more than enough. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I LOVE YOU AND PRAISE YOU!!!

A Look Back

Shift Worthy Ministries first launched on December 25, 2020. Things started slowly, but one summer, WOW...God showed up and showed out! People were coming to Jesus, my inbox was overflowing with testimonies, and the ministry was growing in beautiful, unexpected ways.

Then… God whispered a shift. He placed a burning desire in me to attend Bible school, a dream I’d had for years. He highlighted the school, brought in the funds, and I knew He was calling me. It didn’t make sense at the time, the ministry was thriving! But I obeyed.

For the next two years, I attended school, worked a full-time job, a part-time job, and tried to keep the ministry going. But I was exhausted. Discouraged. I cried many nights over Shift Worthy Ministries. I even hovered over the delete button on the back end of the site more times than I’d like to admit.

But I don’t regret going. Those two years were a Jesus-love bubble, I wept constantly, in the best way. I encountered God on such a deep, personal level.

2024: A Hope Deferred Year

At the end of 2023, I sat at a coffee shop with my sister Jackie. We both prepared to present slide shows of our dreams for 2024. I just knew it would be my year. I would graduate and get back into ministry full-time.

But once again, God had other plans. 2024 became a Hope Deferred year. I lost so much. And I truly lived Proverbs 13:12

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick...”I walked through the year unable to feel my heart. It was strange and painful. I tried to move forward, but nothing I touched in the ministry felt prosperous. It was a John 15 year: pruning, plucking, and painful surrender.

Then, something changed. On November 17, 2024, at church, I walked in and walked out healed. I didn’t look different on the outside, but for the first time in what felt like forever, I could actually feel my heart again. God gave me my heart back.

2025: From Tiptoeing to Trusting Again

In January 2025, God told me to rest. So I did. I had received healing, but the world around me still looked broken, and I wasn’t ready to hope again. I tiptoed through the beginning of the year,no clear plans, still battling discouragement.

Then in February, doors started to open. I was asked to speak, and I fearlessly launched a YouTube channel,finally! It was a small step, but it felt like I was slowly finding my way back.

June: Rise & Reign, Again

By June, discouragement was trying to take me out again. I had planned to run the Rise & Reign Challenge starting June 20th but God called me to start early.

I felt guilty for starting without the group, but I obeyed. And something shifted.

The challenge started with surrender. But as I sat with Jesus, He began speaking to me about the ministry again. My Kingdom assignment. He started lighting fires in my heart hope, vision, Kingdom Confidence.

It began with a burning desire for the UK, and as I took action in obedience, more life flowed. For the first time in a long time, I saw myself again, bold, fearless, dreaming big dreams with Jesus.

Then I heard Him clearly:“It’s time to relaunch.”

A Holy Relaunch

I immediately called my sister Jackie. As I shared what God was doing, she told me He had been speaking the same thing to her about her ministry. We prayed together, and during that prayer, I saw a vision of us releasing balloons.

We decided we didn’t want to wait, we wanted to seal this moment with God.

So we bought simple pink heart balloons (I just thought they were cute at first!). We met at our favorite Christian bookstore and each picked out something meaningful. I bought a $2 journal that journal now represents this fresh start.

We drove to the park where we used to take ministry photos, worshipped, read Scripture, took communion, and at the end… released the balloons.

God whispered:

“These are your hearts. You’re giving them back to Me.”It was our way of releasing the weight of hope deferred, the discouragement, and everything we’d been carrying.

So Here We Are…

Shift Worthy Ministries is relaunching. It feels like starting from ground zero, but I’m okay with that. Sometimes God has to let something die so He can rebuild it stronger, purer, and more surrendered.

I know there will still be struggles, this is life, but I’m choosing to rejoice. Because when I’m weak, I am truly strong. That’s where His strength shines.

This isn’t just a comeback. It’s a sacred return. A holy do-over. A shift toward Jesus, again, and again, and again.

So let’s run this race together. Let’s shift again. Let’s hope again.
