A Breakthrough I’ve Been Waiting For: 3,000+ DepEd Orders for Walnut

A Breakthrough I’ve Been Waiting For: 3,000+ DepEd Orders for Walnut

 

There are moments in business that feel like milestones—and then there are moments that feel like answered prayers.
This is one of them.

When Walnut first started, it was just an idea wrapped in passion, prayer, and the hope that my products would find their way into people’s hands and hearts. I’ve had seasons of slow sales, trial runs, small wins, and the occasional big day—but this one was different. This wasn’t just an order. This was a breakthrough.

The Call That Changed Everything

It started as a simple message from someone I truly trust and respect—an old soul I had met before.

But as I read the details, my heart skipped: 3,000+ personalized drawstring bags for the Department of Education.

I had to read it twice.

For years, I’ve dreamed of working on a project this scale—something that would challenge me, stretch my capacity, and prove what Walnut is capable of. And now, it was here, staring back at me in my inbox.

God’s Hand in Every Step

I wish I could say it was all my doing—my marketing, my persistence, my “perfect timing.” But the truth is, it wasn’t.
This was God aligning every piece of the puzzle:

• Putting the right people in my path

• Opening doors I didn’t even know existed

• Sustaining me physically, mentally, and spiritually through the long days and nights

From sourcing quality fabric for the drawstring bags, coordinating personalization, and managing logistics to ensuring every single piece was perfect—it was a test of endurance. There were moments I felt overwhelmed, moments I questioned if I could really pull it off. But every time, His grace showed up.

The Process Behind the Scenes

Producing over 3,000 personalized drawstring bags is no small feat. It meant:

• Organizing a streamlined workflow for my team

• Checking quality at every step

• Personalizing each bag with precision and care
  

Our workspace transformed into a sea of fabric, cords, tags, and checklists. My hands were tired, but my heart was full.

 

The Lesson in This Breakthrough

This order wasn’t just about numbers or revenue. It was about trust—God’s trust in me to steward this opportunity well, and my trust in Him to equip me for the work ahead.

It reminded me that delays are not denials. That the seasons of waiting, the quiet days, the unseen efforts—they’re not wasted. They’re preparation for the moment when the breakthrough comes.

From My Heart to Yours

If you’re reading this and you’re in a season of waiting for your own breakthrough, I want you to know—it’s coming.

It might not look exactly like you expect. It might arrive when you least anticipate it. But when it comes, you’ll know. And you’ll see how every detour, every delay, every tear, and every prayer was leading you right here.

To everyone who believes in Walnut—thank you. You’ve been part of this story. And most of all, to God be all the glory.

Here’s to many more breakthroughs, and to the joy of serving each and every bulk order with love.
