Our Journey So Far
When you embark on a journey as heartfelt and meaningful as Waffles & Friends, the path is rarely smooth, but it’s always worth it. For us, this isn’t just about creating stories or building a brand; it’s about touching hearts, inspiring faith, and crafting something that brings joy and meaning to families. Every small step—from brainstorming the characters to designing the website—is an act of love, patience, and trust in God’s plan.
At the heart of this journey lies one unshakable truth: This is for Him. Every story, every page, every illustration is crafted with a purpose to bring glory to God and to remind children of His unwavering love. That’s what keeps us going, even on the toughest days. It’s not just a creative endeavor; it’s a calling.
The Website: A Home for Waffles & Friends
Building a website that feels as warm and inviting as Waffles & Friends has been a labor of love. From the interactive character cards to the vibrant illustrations, every element has been chosen to create a space where children and families can feel welcome.
The website is designed not just to showcase our stories but to become a hub of creativity, inspiration, and faith. Whether it’s through engaging blog posts like this one, downloadable activities, or a sneak peek into the Mercy Meadows universe, our goal is to create a space that feels like home.
Social Media: Reaching Families Everywhere
Managing multiple social media platforms has been a challenge, but it’s a challenge we embrace wholeheartedly. Social media allows us to reach families in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Each post, whether it’s a fun fact about Waffles or a heartfelt Bible verse, is an opportunity to connect with others and share the joy of Waffles & Friends.
The Book: A Labor of Love and Faith
The cornerstone of Waffles & Friends is the stories we tell. With our first book, Jesus Loves Waffles, we’ve poured countless hours into ensuring every page aligns with our mission. It’s not just about telling a good story—it’s about crafting a narrative that speaks to the hearts of children and their families, rooted in biblical truths and timeless lessons.
Faith and Progress: Keeping God at the Center
Faith is the foundation of Waffles & Friends. It’s what drives us to wake up every morning and work on this project, no matter how daunting it seems. We’ve learned to embrace progress over perfection, trusting that God will fill in the gaps where we fall short.
This journey has taught us that success isn’t measured by how quickly we achieve our goals but by how faithful we are in the process.
What’s Next?
As we continue to build this dream, we know there’s still so much to do. More blog posts, more updates, and more stories are on the way. But with each step, we’re reminded that this isn’t just about creating a brand—it’s about creating a ministry. It’s about using the talents God has given us to spread His love and light.
