”Psalms 91:4. "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings, you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."
I believe that Jesus led me to this Bible verse which helped cultivate my life.
The journey to finding this verse started in 2015. Before my mother died, I began to encounter a great amount of pure white feathers in shocking places (public bathrooms, interstates, and even my food!). It was happening so much that I started researching it. That is when I found a Bible verse that changed my life, Psalms 91:4. A Bible verse that was quite literally happening to me. I believe Jesus can send us messages at the most needed moment.
During this time, my mom had terminal brain cancer. I remember working on college projects while laying in her hospice bed, just so that I could hold her hand. I didn't know what day was her last. Losing her was losing a best friend.
Two years later after my mom had passed, when I was moving out of college I was exhausted and saddened to be ending this chapter without my mom. For so long she was my advocate throughout school, as I had to go through Special Education. She made sure that those words did not define me, but instead encouraged me. Now, that I had finally reached a goal that I never thought I would, the one who helped get me there wasn't there. I wanted to celebrate it with her most.
I remembered packing things up to move out of my apartment. That is when I found an unopened teal blue envelope wedged in between a few items. It was from my sweet mom! I had never seen it before. I opened it and at the top of the card there was a white feather outlined and words that read, "I hope this will get to you one day...." Words from my mother, right when I needed them most. It's as if the feathers followed me so much so, that I could no longer ignore them. I had chills and had never encountered something like this. God is near even when you feel alone and confused.
To this day I have continued to find pure white feathers and have multiple jars full of feathers that have fallen in my path.
After working for 30+ employers as a contractor and/or employee, I realized that I had a desire to create my own business. Many have called me a job hopper, but how do you know something is right until you try it? You don't. I will never settle just because of what someone says. It's never too late. I plan to live for me and my family with all the glory to Jesus. If it was not for all of these experiences I would not have been able to cultivate Psalter Co or have gained the knowledge that I now have. The beautiful thing is we are NEVER done learning.
Ever since I was a little girl it was my dream to create something from nothing. I always was thinking of new things and ideas, but nothing ever stuck. Years passed and I went through some hardships throughout my career. The things I faced left me broken, lost, and confused. I was left wondering was I even doing the right things. It seemed that I was being pulled away from corporate America and I didn't understand why. Then one day I was told at my sale job that I was either fired or need to quit. Claiming I didn’t meet my numbers - which I did , but who really knows why. I thought that having a corporate job with a big title is all I needed to say, I did it. Yet, I felt more confused after each job. Getting fired is rough, especially if you are a people pleaser and don’t understand the true reason. I questioned everything about me and it was absolute horrible. I wondered why am I not enough. However, in my heart, I always knew being creative is what I wanted to do while using my Textile Technology Engineering Degree.
After many months jobless and no income I increased my Ebay sale, started back dog walking and took up a part time project manager job.
That is when I realized Jesus is redirecting me. These challenges are not happening to me, they are happening for me. After much blood, sweat, and tears, that is when Psalter Co., was born. I followed the path of feathers that lead me to what, I believe, Jesus wanted me to do. Some of my first clients were from dog walking.
During the start of the pandemic my Boyfriend got his real estate license and we have worked as a team sharing clients and helping them get their dream homes!
Gods hand didn’t stop there. After my business grew I decided to make a business bank account, card, check ect. Mind you have two LLCs. At the time I wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing as it was risky & during a time my dads health needed attention, I had to quit a part time job due to the demands of building an addition & designing our custom home (after we gutted it) and to care for all my clients. With all of that said I kept getting my accounts confused with each other and I finally had enough and looked closely at the numbers trying to learn the difference. That’s when I saw something that was truly a message from Jesus! Mind you these are not numbers you get to pick. Both LLCs shared the exact same numbers. 919 and 991. Keep in mind where Psalter got its name from - 91:4. If I didnt continue to get LLCs mixed up I would have never noticed.
PSALMS 91:4.
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings, you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."
PSALMS 91:9
“If you make the most high your dwelling, even the Lord, who is my refuge- then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.”

Psalter Co., got its name because my favorite book of the Bible is, Psalms. Psalter, means, Book of Psalm. It holds words that recount God's covenant promises. I believe God spoke to me that in the bank parking lot.
Since this instance Colt, my now husband purposed to me and shocking then flaw the diamond has is a feather inclusion. It was the first diamond shown and when it was presented it on the screen, they said every diamond has a birth mark and this one has a feather. It was random, but a sweet reminder of God and his promises.
Im blessed to fill jars of feathers till this very day. They are often when I’m least expecting them which makes it all that more special!
Psalter Co. is a place to develop your space while keeping Jesus at the forefront of the journey. It's a place where we are not focusing on the material things of life. Rather, reminding ourselves of the bigger purpose, behind the items that come and go, in our lives.
