Hey, y’all! I’m Jillian.

Receding Waters is something God put on my heart years ago. Receding Waters is a season of stillness. Quietness. Where it seems you feel like you can’t hear from God. Where you think God abandoned you, which He would never do. He would never leave you or forsake you.

You see, when the water recedes, you may be experiencing anxiety or loneliness. Maybe even some isolation. Maybe you’re believing God for something, but you haven’t seen it come into fruition. You even begin to doubt if God hears you.

But He does.

Because in a tsunami, when the water recedes, it comes back tenfold.

That’s what God is doing in your life. 

In my own life, when the water receded, I had to hunker down in my faith and stay in the Word of God. This brand is my testimony of my seasons of receding waters. I had to remind myself who God is and what His word says.

My prayer is that this brand helps you build your intimacy with God and gets you through your season of Receding Waters.

Receding Waters — Faith in the Waiting

Receding Waters is more than a clothing brand—it's a movement of faith, identity, and purpose. Inspired by the natural phenomenon where waters pull back just before a mighty wave surges forward, our brand speaks to the season before the breakthrough—the quiet, often uncomfortable moment of waiting that precedes abundance.

We believe that what feels like a setback is often the preparation for something greater.

Why "Receding Waters"?

In the Bible, water symbolizes life, cleansing, and the presence of God. But sometimes, God allows a season where the waters seem to withdraw—a time of stillness, stretching, and trust. Like the Israelites at the Red Sea (Exodus 14), or Peter stepping out onto the water (Matthew 14:29), God's people have always had to face the unknown before stepping into the miraculous.

Receding Waters represents the moment before the surge—the place where faith is forged.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Exodus 14:14

The Mission

We create apparel that speaks life. Whether it's through scripture, bold declarations, or names of God, these designs are meant to:

  • Remind you of who you are in Christ

  • Encourage you in the waiting

  • Spark conversation and carry light into dark places

My hope is that when you wear Receding Waters, you wear expectation—the kind that trusts that the wave is coming, even if all you see right now is retreating water.

For the Called. For the Waiting. For the Wave.

You’re not forgotten—you’re being positioned.

Welcome to Receding Waters.
