I just want to know. I want them to say it plainly. Workers won’t say. But I wanna know.
IS MARDEL CLOSING?
My heart is conditionally broken. If they are, of course it’s broken. If they’re not closing. It’s fine. I just wanna know.
Walking into Mardel with deep discounts of up to 90% off fits the closing down vibe.
I’ve seen posts online where people in other states actually have store closing signs. We don’t have those here!
So tell it to me plainly because that’s my favorite store and so inspirational to me.
I wish we went to Mardel more as a kid. Now, I pretty much live there. I’m there multiple times a month, sometimes in one week. It’s where I’ve bought new Bibles, new books, journals, gifts, shirts, and just so much stuff.
How is it… inspirational, though, Summer???
Well.
There’s always been this vibe for me when I’m there. I’m like, it’s explicitly a Christian store. How many of those are there, really?? And as a reader and a known daydreamer, I have this story idea in my head of a store just like Mardel. Maybe one day it’ll be published for you to read, but that’s a totally different story for a different day. 🙂
So, yeah, it inspires me on my faith journey with all the resources and tools, but also creating an atmosphere to create a fictional story and world I want to live in.
I want to live in a world where there are Mardel stores.
This blog post has no reason other than airing my grief over a possible loss in an establishment. If you have any concrete information to provide to a Mardel lover, please let me know in the comments. I thank you for your time and I pray for continued prosperity for both you and Mardel.
Not Your Season: Summer's Blog 
An inspirational post, worthy of a letter to Mardel. Let Mardel’s leadership feel the emotions.
Write that book. Share with readers the emotions that shape the lives of believers, young and old. Tell a story that hooks readers on what makes the experience at Mardel life-changing. Consider a fictional (or actual) account of equipping saints with the wisdom and values that will raise up a generation unafraid to speak the truth. People willing to drive out evil and corruption, repenting for wayward ways and bringing back wholehearted devotion to God.
The future comes one choice at a time, and your prayers and actions matter.

Oh my goodness! That’s crazy. I’m sorry. I will pray with you that they don’t close. I really thought that store was stable from all I’ve heard about it. We used to have Lifeway Christian book stores in this area, but they closed a while back. Now my only option is the Christian section of a Books a Million that is an hour away. So I definitely understand the grief.
