Six Years Later

by Leslie Ann Jones January 22, 2021

Six Years Later-Muscadine Press

In 2015, I ordered 600 Dwell Prayer Journals.

It took three whole years to sell them all, but in 2019, I ordered 500 more.

Most of those sold in just a year, and in January 2020, I ordered 1,000 journals. It seemed like an impossibly large number at the time, but I felt like dreaming big, so I went for it.

And then I reordered not once. Not twice. But three times throughout the year. We shipped out over 2,500 prayer journals last year, and I'm still in awe. At the end of the year, our shelves were empty. Literally.

So for our first 2021 release, I ordered 2,400 prayer journals. 🙄 They came on a pallet, which seemed very, very daunting, but I'm already thinking that like last year, we'll end up having to reorder sooner rather than later.

I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it.

I just want to stop for a minute to celebrate all that God has done and give credit where it’s due. There's no other explanation for the kind of growth that we've been experiencing since the pandemic began. It's all him - I'm just trying to keep up.

At the end of the day, no matter how many journals we sell, I'm so, so grateful that I get to do this work. It's a joy and privilege that I don't take for granted. Helping people cultivate faithful habits makes my heart happier than you could ever imagine.

Thank you for your support and orders and kind messages and shared posts and encouragement, and also for bearing with me on this trip down memory lane. I couldn't do this work without you - and I'm not just saying that! You're the best.

🙌🏻 Leslie Ann

Everyone Needs a Hype Squad

by Leslie Ann Jones May 05, 2022

Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.

But Dust | Muscadine Press
But Dust

by Guest Author April 11, 2022

We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.

No Time to Waste
No Time to Waste

by Leslie Ann Jones March 31, 2022

What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
