How long have you been searching for your purpose? If you are anything like me, you may not have realized you've been working towards it since you were born. In my late 20s I started feeling more drawn to why i'm here and what can i do to make a difference. Of course its scary! But finding my purpose was the best thing that has happened to me in my 30 years on this Earth! I didn't get here alone. My mother made sure I prayed and took me to church when I was a kid. Honestly, I never felt super connected to church growing up but I always felt a connection to God. I lost my father when I was 9, that event definitely affected me and still does. I believe that i've had the typical "daddy issues" affect. Which led me into bad relationships and pinned up anger that I didn't recognize until years later. Everyone around me always seemed to change and disappoint. Everything was everchanging, everything except God. When I got tired of myself, tired of being tired of my own behavior...God was there. I decided to push myself into the word and a church that fed my soul. Of course, i'm still a work in progress. I feel I always will be. But what's amazing about that, is that God still decided to use me. He showed me my purpose when I was at my lowest point. He gave me something to work towards, like I was digging myself out of ditch and finally seeing the surface. The way my life has been transformed since I renewed my mind, is unexplainable. My desires have changed.
I honestly never thought I’d have a clothing line, let alone something representing Jesus. I never thought i'd "work for God". Thats how I like to see this brand. I am working for Jesus, spreading his name as our heavenly father intended. We all serve a purpose on this Earth. We are all valuable.
I feel that God has made it my responsibility to relate to my generation. We are the most anxious and depressed generation yet. I am by no means perfect and I also deal with some of the same issues. God has been the only way I’ve gotten through. None of us are alone in the darkness we deal with. I'm not here to force a relationship with Jesus on anyone. When I feel lost or have my doubts, I remember that he loved us before we even loved ourselves. Seems easier to love someone that loves you first, right?
I want my testimony to show through this line. Ever since I’ve began chasing after God I’ve changed for the better. I hope to inspire others and give back to those in need. Each month, I will donate a percentage of the proceeds to someone in need. If you have suggestions, please use the contact page. My goal is to start my own foundation, that focuses on many different causes. Jesus Apparel represents love and I want your help spreading the love of Jesus to the world. My name is Mia Paris and I am the creator of Jesus Apparel.
