Running Blind: Life Before Belief
Calvin here! To fully appreciate the work that God has done in our lives thus far, lets take a peek back into our lives as non-believers and how the Lord started to reveal himself to us. Bailee and I have been happily married since 2015 and together have enjoyed a fast-paced, high energy lifestyle jam-packed with motorsports; From cars, trucks, snowmobiles to Jeeps, jet skis and everything between! Eventually this high-octane lifestyle would distract us from developing a relationship with the Lord......little did we know he was about to change that.
Sweet Surrender: Learning to Walk with Christ
Bailee hopping on the keys now! As Calvin was saying, we had enjoyed an entire season of our lives surrounded by the thrills of an adrenaline pumping lifestyle, that frankly, was apart from God and had taken the focus of our attention. Little did we know the Lord would start to fix our eyes on him over a couple year window filled with struggle, trials and loss. Nonetheless, there was significant growth and gain through these trials, and it was clear...God was reaching out for us....How would we respond? Over the next couple years, Calvin and I would be slowly transformed by the Holy Spirit as we would grow a relentless hunger for Jesus. This transformation was full of uncomfortable moments, ugly sin struggles and challenges as we learned to understand what a complete surrendering to Christ truly meant-and how beautiful it is!! We wouldn't trade or take any of it back, we praise God everyday for the work He's doing in our lives!
Tallied Joy: Forging Lifestyles in Faith
Being a believer doesn't stop once you've accepted Jesus as Lord and savior. We as Christians are tasked with picking up our cross daily and advancing the kingdom of God. Our worship, fellowship and discipleship should extend beyond church walls....We are called to "Go and Tell," bringing others into the knowledge of Jesus and the Great Commission. Our mission at Tallied Joy is simple: Providing gospel-centered apparel for believers & followers of Christ that aim to spread the Word and knowledge of Jesus in EVERY facet of their lives. At Tallied Joy, we're all about being intentional with the Word of God, from the designs on our apparel to the meaning behind our name. Derived from James 1:2-4, Tallied Joy encourages believers to count all trials and blessings as joy from the Lord.
