Why I Choose Peace...

It was the night everything changed for me. It was sometime after my mother passed in 2015, and the grief was so heavy I couldn’t see anything beyond the pain I was in. I was sitting alone in my apartment, feeling like the world had ended. I kept thinking, “How am I supposed to live without her? I can’t do this.”

That night, I hit a level of emptiness I had never felt before. I wasn’t just sad—I felt lifeless. Done. And in that moment, I honestly didn’t want to be here anymore. I cried out to God, not with fancy words, but with everything I had left: 

“God, I need something. I don’t know what to do.” 

And He answered me with one word: Peace.

Not a quick fix. Not a temporary distraction. But a deep, steady peace that held me together when I couldn’t hold myself. It didn’t erase the pain, but it carried me through it.

From that day forward, I started choosing peace on purpose. Philippians 4:6–7 became my daily reminder that while my problems felt permanent, God’s peace was unshakable and everlasting.

And that’s how Peace Over Problems was born—

As I healed, I realized I wasn’t the only one waking up overwhelmed, anxious, or lost. I knew others were fighting battles that felt too heavy. And instead of shouting “Peace Over Problems” everywhere I went, I decided to create something people could wear—a message that would speak even when they felt like they couldn’t.

Today, Peace Over Problems isn’t just clothing.
It’s a lifestyle. A reminder.
A declaration that peace is still possible—even in the storm.
