BACKSTORY
Hey all you wildflowers! I am so excited to share a little back story of my blogging journey and how Grow Like A Wildflower came about. When I was probably 12 my oldest brother gave me the idea to share my day to day life. With his encouragement, I created a Facebook page called A Day In the Life With Jozie. I posted about the daily activities I was involved in and aimed to inspire people along the way. However, after just about two weeks, I found myself overwhelmed and decided to delete the page. I retreated back into my personal space and kept my experiences to myself.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2023 I had a spark of inspiration to start again. I set up a new Facebook page and this time an Instagram account under the name of Grow Like A Wildflower. I posted one time. The post read:
The post said “Hello all you wildflowers!! This is the start of an adventure that I have prayed for. I have always wanted to share God’s meaningful word with others but always thought “I will when my life put together” Well here we are my life is in fact NOT put together but I am chasing my dream. I am not quite ready to share myself on here yet. I just want people to know that life can be hard and this is my way of growing. And plus have a little fun! Follow along for some good laughs, tears, smiles, and encouragement.”
What a first and last post that was. Now to present day. One Year Later and I am proud to announce I am actually doing this thing. I am dusting of those old pages and bringing life into the Grow Like A Wildflower pages that I created a year ago. I feel like I am flying by the seat of my pants and God is the pilot. I am excited for the page to bloom and grow like a wildflower.
What Does My Future Look Like
To be honest with all of you I have no idea what my future looks like and I have found peace with that. I am dedicate to following God’s plan for my life, taking each day as it comes. Currently, I am working a seasonal job out in the beautiful state of Colorado. The jobs in constantly bringing me a joy I didn’t know I could have, until I found it. The feeling of being out in the world on my own has brought an excitement for the future.
I’ll be heading back home around November, where I will enjoy some downtime until my next opportunity arises. I will always love the feeling of being home, with my family and loved ones.
I have stopped obsessing over the future of my life would be like, and instead, I am focusing on finding peace in the present. I don’t look at the past or the future. I have found peace with where I am in the journey of life. When I let go of my worries and give them to God, I realize he has complete control over my life.
Who Is Jozie Kirkendall?
I am Christian trying her best to live a life filled with Jesus’s love and faithfulness. I strive to have a firm foundation built on Christ.
I’m also a family gal. My family means the world to me, even when I am far from home. They show me love and support, which keeps me motivated and grounded.
And of course, I am a wildflower. Wildflowers symbolize my personality perfectly. They bloom in their own time, often in unexpected places, and at their own pace. Wildflowers are not like other flowers.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I am excited to grow together and celebrate the beautiful thing we call life!
