TEN4: Clarity Through Obedience All 2026.

 

At the start of this year, I couldn’t see a damn thing.
Everything was hazy —
Vague plans. Shaky team. Disconnected supply chain.
SOSS was standing, but I didn’t know for how long.

In February, I hit my knees.
Literally.
I asked God to take SOSS from me.
I was ready to shut it all down if He gave me the green light.

But He didn’t.
He said: “Not yet. I’m not done with this.”
And because I listened, I got back up.
And started moving.

 

That’s where everything started to shift.
Not because the path immediately got clearer, but because I finally stopped trying to control what wasn’t mine to control.

I locked in on what was mine:

• I reached out to the owner of our fulfillment center for real support.
• We vetted manufacturer after manufacturer until we found the right one.
• And then, like God always does, He sent another capital infusion right on time.

 

2025 taught me that obedience creates clarity.
Not the other way around.
We can’t wait for the full picture before we take the first step.
God gives the vision to those who move.

Now as we wrap this year and welcome 2026, I want to speak to what we’re building next:

• SOSS has a much clearer vision.
• Our product and fulfillment systems are locked.
• We’re chasing a deeper connection with our family, not hype and likes.

We want to build better.
Serve deeper.
And make sure everything we create — from soufflés to stories — helps us all get closer to who we’re called to be.

 

2026 will try to distract us.
It will throw noise, doubt, fake news, and fake urgency at our door.
Don’t fall for it.
Look up. Get direction. And stay locked in.

So before we step over, let’s just pause.
And ask ourselves:

• Is my vision clear?
• Am I doing what God told me to do?
• Am I only trying to control what’s mine?

 

2026 is the year we play big.
Because life is too big to play small.

See you in the new year.
