I get it!
Walking in faithful obedience feels like a game of Tetris—
Constantly flipping around all the shoulds, have to’s, and don’t-forgets ALL BEFORE you run out of space to build that perfectly aligned tapestry called Kingdom living!
But what if I told you there’s more freedom in laying down those sinking sand demands and constantly picking them up only to cling to some counterfeit version of what it truly means to walk free in Him?
As much as you L-O-V-E Jesus…
… your first world probs, work-life stressors, and seasons of brokenness have you doubting if you truly know what it means to live and love on purpose like the“Mary” you want to be.
You know if you could just maketime stand still, you’d be able to:
True story: I’m the “do it right or don’t do it at all” less than gracious Christ follower (sigh…)
The gal who’s overly hard on herself, more bent toward legalism than grace, fighting the mental tensions of judging herself less and loving herself more.
Hi-ya! I’m Monet Carpenter—an accidental businessowner and faith writer providing curated gifts and themed subscription box experiences for women who love Jesus with their whole hearts but get stuck in the trenches of an upside-down reality where they don’t have to earn His love to be loved.
As I noticed other Christian women floundering in spiritual numbness and shame against the ever-present landscape of a “too blessed to be stressed” faith culture, I began questioning why we just couldn’t get our messy life together to feel the joy and freedom that was always marketed to us.
How it started
In May of 2021, while commuting back home from a 12-hour night shift as a traveling nurse, God downloaded a vision into my mind for Purposed Box—a monthly, curated soul-care box guiding women to experience Jesus in both the messy middle and mundane moments of their day to day lives.
Leaning on 4 spiritual rhythms I help women re-learn what it means to receive His blessings sans shame, and allow His overflowing to propel us forward in purposed acts of giving, living, and praying!
how it’s going
By ditching shame and courageously calling out strongholds of guilt, and any other lie making itself known against the authority of God, I’m now giving women permission to do the same!
I believe you can do both:
Leverage your brokenness (instead of numbing out to it) AND ask the hard questions of faith while you seek to walk the tightrope of social norms vs. faith culture expectations
Monet comes alongside women
Providing a holistic approach to experiencing Jesus—one not built on having to have it all together
She’s shifting mindsets from deeming brokenness as a liability to the Kingdom, to owning their messy middle, posturing and empowering them to live on purpose for it!

cause friend, we weren’t meant to live bound to busyness and brokenness!

“Blown away by the thoughtfulness.”
“I just opened this month’s box and was blown away by the thoughtfulness. The out of box experience is incredible—exceeded expectations. Reading through the guide that prompts a purpose behind each item gave me so much JOY to ponder how the items could be used in my family and home and friendships!”
“I cannot wait to receive my next box!”
“This box and its contents are so beautiful and purposeful!! My favorite part about this box is that it came with a gift to give away to a friend. Being a busy mom and dairy farmer, this was such a thoughtful and simple act of kindness to share! I cannot wait to receive my next box!!”
