My Story: How Wanted By God Started
Honestly, Wanted By God came from a real place in my life — a mix of faith, obedience, and moments when I needed a reminder myself.
I’ve always known who I was in God.
, I’ve known I had purpose. But even with that, there were still times when I struggled to see it. Times when I poured out, showed up, gave my all — and still wondered about the love of God for me?”
One day, while talking to God, I remember just feeling heavy. I wasn’t questioning who I was — I was just tired. And in that moment, I felt the Lord impress on my heart:
“Before anybody else saw you, I wanted you.”
That was it. That one reminder lit something in me. It wasn’t deep or complicated — it was clear, simple, and powerful. And I knew that message wasn’t just for me. It was for every person who’s ever silently questioned their value or felt forgotten, even while doing the right things.
That’s where Wanted By God came from.
I didn’t have a big team or a full blueprint. I started with what I had — my Cricut machine, a few T-shirts, and a whole lot of faith. I messed up some shirts, stayed up late learning as I went, and sold my first pieces out of pure obedience. I told myself, “If just one person wears this and feels seen by God, that’s enough.”
Fast forward to now, and I’ve seen doors open that I didn’t even pray for. I’ve seen people connect with the message, not just because it’s stylish, but because it speaks to something deeper. It reminds them that before the title, the platform, or the pressure — they were already loved, already chosen, already wanted.
I’m still learning. Still growing. Still building brick by brick. But I can say this: Wanted By God is proof that when you say yes to God, even in your small moments, He can turn it into something bigger than you imagined.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Has it been a smooth road?
Not at all — but it’s been worth it.
Starting Wanted By God was exciting, but it definitely didn’t come without challenges. I didn’t have a big budget, a warehouse, or a fancy setup. I had a Cricut, some vinyl, and a message that God placed on my heart. There were times I wasted materials, cried over designs that didn’t come out right, or questioned if people would even support what I was doing.
One of the biggest struggles was pushing past the doubt — not even just from others, but from myself. When things didn’t sell like I expected or when people didn’t show up the way I hoped, I had to constantly remind myself why I started.
Another challenge was balancing it all — being a wife, working, trying to keep up with life, and still pouring into this brand. There were moments I felt stretched thin. But even in those hard places, I saw God stretch me in the best way — in my faith, my creativity, and my discipline.
I’ve had to learn to trust the process, to grow through the slow seasons, and to find joy in the small wins. Because the truth is, every sale, every message that says “this shirt reminded me who I am,” makes the struggle feel like it was never in vain.
So no, it hasn’t been smooth — but it’s been Spirit-led. And that makes all the difference.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’d love to share.
I’m the founder and creator of Wanted By God, alongside my husband who is an owner as well as finance manager. we are a faith-based apparel brand rooted in identity, purpose, and bold reminders of who we are in Christ. We design shirts that speak to the soul — not just with trendy fonts or cute sayings, but with real truth. Truth that helps people wear the Word of God and carry it into every room they walk into.
We specialize in crafting pieces that are intentional — from the message, to the colors, to the way it feels when you put it on. Every design is prayed over. Every shirt is made to affirm people who may be battling silently but still pressing forward in faith.
What I’m most proud of is the impact. It’s not about how many shirts I’ve sold — it’s the messages I’ve received. People saying, “I wore this shirt and someone stopped me in the store,” or “This reminded me that I’m still chosen.” That’s the part that gets me every time — watching God take something small and use it to speak life into somebody’s day.
What sets me apart?
We didn’t create this brand to sell clothes — we created it to serve people. I’m not just building a business — I’m building a reminder. And I’m not waiting until I have a big team or a viral post to be faithful with what I have.
There are a lot of great brands out there, but Wanted By God is personal. It’s real. It’s raw. It was birthed out of a moment with God, and everything we do still flows from that place.
So whether I’m vending at an event, packing orders late at night, or praying over the next design, I stay grounded in this truth:
If one person walks away reminded that they are loved, chosen, and WANTED by God — we’ve done our job.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
What’s something surprising about me?
Whew — where do I start?
People see me out here selling shirts, showing up to events, posting encouraging messages — and they think I’m this super outgoing, always-on-the-go type of person. But the truth is…
I’m a certified homebody.
Ask my husband 🤣🤣
Like, the kind of homebody where I’ll be at an event smiling, encouraging everybody, but the whole time I’m secretly counting down how long until I can go home, put on a hoodie, and mind my business on the couch. I might show up cute — but just know, I’m already thinking about how fast I can change into sweatpants. 😂
Also, folks are always surprised when I tell them we do everything me and my husband. From designing the shirts to pressing them, packaging, labeling, and even double-checking if the vinyl’s sticking — that’s me. No team in the background — just me, my husband , packing orders, some gospel music playing, and Jesus guiding our hands.
So yeah, behind the brand is a T-shirt maker who still can’t fold a shirt the same way twice and would absolutely rather be at home. But I love what I do — and I’m grateful God lets me do it in my own lane, with joy… coffee, and comfy clothes . 😄
