My name is Roxanne, and I am a woman of faith, wife to my amazing husband Jeremy, dog mom and chief mess maker behind all this kitchen mayhem. The Journey Out of Corporate:
There was that one time where I thought I knew best but God told me to quit trying to write my own story and that he had it covered. As a former Human Resources professional of several years, I loved my career but was very u
nhappy and could not figure out why. I went back to school as an adult and worked really, really hard to finish my degree so of course HR was my calling, right? While I insisted on battling with God over my career path in addition to feeling sorry for myself, Jeremy was at home running our other business. He was getting crushed and at the end of the day, yours truly was the equivalent of corporate leftovers. Apparently, I did not get the memo that you cannot pour from an empty cup. It was time to decide who was going to get the best of me and who was going to get what was left. I am not sure anyone was truly getting the best of me during this time, least of all my family. Time to listen up Roxanne. His Plan, My Purpose:
Fast forward to September 2020 and after lots of prayers, tears, and multiple doors being closed, we finally got it. We were being led out of the waiting room to take that step out in faith. His timing is always perfect. I came home in October of 2020 to work alongside Jeremy and to launch Flour Power Bakery. It has definitely been an adjustment for both of us as now we are running two home based businesses while our furbabies rule the household. Loved Beyond Measure – Ephesians 3:19
I searched and searched for that one special verse reflective of how God measures his love for us and how it applied to Flour Power. Loved Beyond…that’s pretty big stuff and since I’m really horrible at math, all I can tell you is that is a lot. This to me is a measure of how I want to serve my customers and the care I put into all my baked goods. Nerdy Baker Alert:
Now that you are officially in the know, consider this your official warning of all the nerdy baking posts to come. I literally cannot help myself. A very high percentage of my posts coincide with a song and I am not even the least bit sorry. I am looking forward to having you on my bakery journey! Stay tuned for menu options just as soon as I finish procrastibaking 😊
Loved Beyond Measure,
Roxanne
