Words can not express the overwhelming gratitude we have for all of you who have supported us on our transition. We had a rough, rough go of things. But God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. And we know that we have been relocated for a much bigger purpose.

We have a new home in Pearland. We will be operating from our new space in a commercial kitchen that can support our pit and Southern cuisine as we continue to build our catering clientele, which has grown! This space is large enough and the people we are working with are truly heaven sent.

We have some big news coming so stay tuned. πŸ‘€ We Love you 😘

🚨NO Commercial Leases should EVER protect deception!🚨

3 of 5 businesses at 1201 Oliver FAILED and 1 of 2 remaining is trapped

Our life and livelihood was destroyed

This is the story from the beginning. We are not AFRAID. POWERFUL PEOPLE are NO MATCH for our LORD.!

HE WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLE IN JESUS NAME.

PROVERBS 11:1 ESV
β€œA false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.”

ROMANS 12:19
β€œBeloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, β€œVengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.””

Heavenly Father:
We thank you for every good and perfect gift. You are our LORD and You see all, know all, and nothing made that is made was made without you. Your hand holds the heart of kings and your sun shines light on the just and the unjust. James and I are your children and we enter your courts with thanksgiving for what you gave us in the time that we were at 1201 Oliver. We make this public prayer as we now know that we were on assignment. We have finished this task and release those who wronged us into your hands. Have mercy on their souls.

We commit to you the next phase of our lives and ask you for wisdom as only you can give it. We ask you for grace, as grace and mercy are only yours to give! We honor you totally. And we love you πŸ₯° May everyone who walked through our doors at 1201 Oliver be blessed. Please protect our dear friend Julian that he find shelter and a home. Please protect the remaining businesses from the hand of the enemy.

In Jesus name we pray πŸ™πŸΏ

Amen.
