BOOST Your New Year! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣
Reflections, Gratefulness, and the Fresh Canvas of New Beginnings!
Hey, creatives! 👋
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I want to take a brief moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared together as Christian creatives. The past year has been a canvas painted with challenges, victories, and most importantly, the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father in every step of our creative endeavors!
"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!"
—Psalm 107:1 (ESV)
For us, the eve of 2023 marked a pivotal moment when we gained clarity in our calling to serve Christian creatives. Looking back now, one year later, I see nothing but the fingerprints of God in every step that has shaped Indie Beginning into what it is today.
Truly, there is much to be grateful for, and we hope that you take your time to slow down as well and take the time to look back & be reminded of His faithfulness in your own creative journey in the past year!

Happy New Year, Brian and family! May God bless and keep you in 2024!
Most grateful to God for in 2023—
1. God's grace, faithfulness, mercy, and the gift of righteousness
2. My husband and son
3. The Lord's provision and care. I had a really helpful medication for most of the year. My car is still running, hallelujah! We have good coffee and warm blankets and each other.
It definitely was not an easy year in many ways. But God is so faithful. It's hard to come up with a sort of top 3 because God is SO good and gracious. My husband lost his job this year and while he has been getting some work, he has yet to find a steady full time job. But we have not gone hungry, our utilities are not cut off, our rent is paid, and in many ways I have hardly felt the impact because God has sheltered us. It's quite humbling and astonishing. Thank You Lord!
So glad I found you all, Happy New Year!
