Good Morning Martin

11/20/2025

This has been a lot of work! I am so proud of what my mom and I have been able to do with this little embroidery business.
All of these Martin embroidered sweatshirts are made right here in Martin, Tennessee, in the building next to The Coffee Shop.
We hope you enjoy these sweatshirts and take as much pride as we do in a true Martin made product.
Pick them up at Martin's Coffee and Bakery or online.

We are called to live by faith.
In 8 years of running this business I have never given up this much control, which is hard to admit. 2025 has been a year of structure, but more than anything it has been the greatest challenge of my faith. I can say truthfully that I am still tired of fighting the same struggle to let go and let God that began earlier this year. The shop has never served this many people, there is expansion all around us and momentum for what we are bringing to Martin with this music venue, but I am still tired from what this year has demanded.
Finding rest in His will is not automatic for me. It requires surrender. The constant reflection and worry about how this last part will come together is a state I do not want to live in, but I keep slipping back into my old habits. I have been taught a great lesson, but learning it is not the same as living it. I know what to do, but I still choose not to rely fully on God through faith. Ironically, that costs more energy, narrows my vision, and pulls me away from daily walking where I should be when I overthink and try to plan everything. Ten year plans are great. I have always had them. It is responsible to use the time you have been given wisely, but planning can never replace reliance on His will.
And still, even in the middle of my worry, He keeps showing me the way forward. Just yesterday we had one of our highest sales days of the year. We launched our embroidered Martin sweatshirts online and sold more than I thought we could. That one simple idea that came from talking with my mom about focusing on making Martin sweatshirts made a real impact on our path toward more expansion.
I am learning to look at being “over budget and out of time,” which has been the case for eight years now, with excitement, because now I get to see how things are going to fall into place. How beautiful is a life where faith is required, where all that has been entrusted to you is fully used, and at the end of each day you leave no doubt that you have done all that you can. That is the life I am working toward.
Thank you for growing with us and making us your local coffee shop and bakery!
