Wherever I Am, There Is Kingdom Work

For the past seven years, Kingdom Work has been sitting quietly on my heart. It was a whisper. A nudge. A dream that felt both too big and somehow not fully formed yet. I didn’t know what it would become or how it would unfold—I just knew it was from God.

And for seven years, I carried it.

And then this year… something shifted.
God said, “Now.”

I took action in the way I knew best: through creativity. I created my very first Kingdom Work fashion collection, and it debuted on the Denver Fashion Week runway in May. That moment felt like the beginning of something bigger than me—something sacred, something purposeful, something God-orchestrated.

Kingdom Work Collection

Shown on the Denver Fashion Week runway on May 10, 2025, this Eve look weaves together a bottle-cap snake, rescued flowers, and discarded fans—transforming reclaimed materials into a vivid reminder of the garden’s story.

See the rest of the collection!

But even now, after the runway lights and photos and applause, I’m reminded of something incredibly simple and freeing:

Kingdom Work can be as small or as big as God wants it to be.
It doesn’t have to launch with fireworks.
It doesn’t have to be fully built before it begins.
It doesn’t need a perfect plan.

It just needs obedience.
A willing heart.
A simple yes.

Right now, Kingdom Work looks like this website—a gentle digital space where I can write, share what God is showing me, document creative moments, and offer hope. It’s small, intentional, and full of heart. But it’s also the foundation for what’s ahead.

Soon, I know it will grow. One of the dreams that keeps returning is the Kingdom Work wagon—a vintage camper transformed into a traveling sanctuary of creativity, worship, and joy. I can see it so clearly: soft pastel colors, scripture on a sandwich-board sign, upcycled fashion pieces hanging from vintage racks, devotionals tucked into little drawers, twinkle lights, and a place where people can sit, breathe, and feel God’s nearness.

And maybe someday—if God wants—Kingdom Work will expand into a physical space. A creative sanctuary. A restoration story. A gathering place overflowing with joy, faith, and design. A studio where fashion, worship, mentorship, storytelling, and community come together.

But here’s the truth God keeps whispering to me:

Kingdom Work isn’t defined by a building, a wagon, a runway moment, or a plan.
Kingdom Work is defined by God’s presence.

Where I am, Kingdom Work is.

It happens in my loft above the hardware store, at my drafting table, while parking cars at Rockies games, while designing upcycled pieces, while writing worship songs in my car, while sharing conversations in the neighborhood, while praying in the quiet, and even while soaking in a warm bath with Earl Grey.

Kingdom Work is not a someday thing.
It’s a right now thing.

I don’t have to chase down the biggest version of the dream.
I simply need to be faithful with the version God has placed in front of me today.

Here I am, Lord.
Use what I have today.

That is enough. More than enough. And it is exactly how this journey begins— one gentle, God-led step at a time.

Amen. 💛✨
