A New Perspective

Verse of the Day: “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

 

Today was an absolutely beautiful day outside which was great for taking some pictures :)... Well anyways about today's verse 

Sometimes in life when things don't seem to make sense in your life, when you feel like everyday you're practically going through the same routine, God is truly there with you, because in the weakest parts of life you are made strong by God's Holy Spirit that works in you. With the way we see action, adventure, and even romance on tv and in movies it's hard to understand why our lives can't be like that as well. We forget about reality and want those things we see on the media, (whether it be popularity, romance, or even a good solid group of friends to hang out with), we tend to fall into this sad and depressed state in which we question where exactly God is in our lives and why certain things are happening to us. In this Psalm we see a clear picture of how we need to change our perspective sometimes and just be thankful we are alive and healthy. God is good all the time, even through tough moments He's there with you. Your life and happiness are extremely important to Christ and that's why one of my favorite verses is Phillipians 4:13 because I definitely know and have the assurance that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It's kind of like a scene from the Karate Kid (Jackie Chan version) where the boy's instructor makes the boy do the same ridiculous and boring routine over and over again, everyday for weeks. The boy didn't understand and it really didn't make sense to him why he had to do that routine repeatedly, however when the right time came, the instructor showed him just how that boring and simple routine gave him strength and practice when the fight came. So don't be upset when it seems like life is repeating itself, God has a plan and He knows what's ahead, so you need to trust that what your going through right now is just a preparation for your wonderful future.

-Now moving on to today's style I decided to mix in a delicate light pink lace dress with a casual jeans vest... why? Because sometimes I have the most classic and sophisticated dress that I would really like to where ANYWHERE, however, with classy and sophisticated dresses comes the stereotype that you CAN'T wear it whenever you want, and here I am to prove that wrong. With the simple, and extremely casual jeans vest, some sandals, and a nice leather side purse the dress goes from extravagantly dressy to a dress you can wear for a walk in the mall or even getting some ice cream with some friends.
