As the year draws to a close, it's a time of deep reflection and gratitude for us at LMA Woodworking. Looking back, we're in awe of the journey we've embarked upon, a journey deeply rooted in faith and guided by God's hand. This past year has been a testament to what faith, trust in God, and a commitment to our craft can achieve.
Our journey this year has been about more than just business growth; it's been a spiritual journey. We started with a bold goal: to give away over 500 crosses and other products, worth over $30,000, as a testament to God's love and the sacrifice of Jesus. This goal wasn't just a number for us; it was a mission to touch lives, to spread hope and faith in tangible ways. Each cross, each piece of woodwork, was a message of love from God, a reminder of His presence in our lives.
The transformation in our business was profound. God led us to focus solely on what truly resonated with our mission, leading us to let go of other products and items. This decision, divinely inspired, wasn't easy but was necessary for our growth. It was a leap of faith, trusting in God's plan over our own. The result was miraculous – not only did our business grow, but so did our faith and understanding of what's possible with God.
Our vision of mending 2,000,000 hearts – the broken-hearted and lost – through His Word and Love is ambitious. Yet, each day, we feel more empowered to pursue this goal. Our woodworking has become more than a craft; it's a ministry, a means to heal and connect with others through the beauty of creation and the power of God's Word.
This year has also been rich with new relationships. We've met incredible people, formed meaningful partnerships, and discovered opportunities that we never knew existed. These connections have not only enriched our business but have also deepened our faith and expanded our mission.
As we look ahead to 2024, we do so with hearts full of hope and excitement. We trust in God's plan, knowing that His ways are higher than ours. We're eager to see how He will continue to use our business to impact lives and spread His love.
To everyone who has been a part of our journey – our customers, partners, and supporters – thank you. Your belief in us and our mission has been a source of strength and encouragement. Together, we look forward to a new year of growth, impact, and blessings.
May God's grace and peace be with you all in 2024, as we continue to walk this path, He has set for us.
Rick & Lori
