Freedom is sweet..


Happy 4th of July/independence to all my fellow Americans. Indeed freedom is sweet and very valuable. I did not have the time to put up this post yesterday even though I didn't do much. I spent part of the day taking a short nap and doing some reflection on how wonderful it feels to be free!




My family went to the lake with some friends from Church and it was a great outing. The evening 's finale was the fireworks display in my neighborhood. It was so beautiful and spectacular as always and I actually prayed that it should end so I could get back to sleep. I think the fireworks ended at about midnight.

My choice of patriotic outfit for this year was a simple bright red color blazer over a white shirt and a pair of blue jean pants and cobalt blue shoes. My outfit last year was a white dress with blue and red accessories and I must say it is exhilarating putting together outfits that connotes the celebration of freedom.
This year                                                                                                                            Last year    
However it is great to know that the greatest freedom ever given to man is the gift of life over sin and all infirmities embodied in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
 
John 8:36
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

Trends...


I haven't updated my blog in a while and decided to sign in to do a quick post on some of the trends I noticed for this summer. There are so many of them including cropped tops and denim overalls from the eighties but I only picked those trends which I like and which fits my personality as I do not do every trend that shows up on the scene. The ones I would consider for the summer include;

  1. Yellow dresses
  2. Floral dresses
  3. White Shoes
  4. Denim shirt
It is not unusual or a sin for Christians to pay attention to trends or the clothes that they put on their body because God does care about how we look. He wants us to always look clean and fresh everyday just as we sanctify and consecrate ourselves to him daily. God instructed his people through Moses in Exodus 19:10-11
"And the lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes and be ready against the third day; for the third day, the lord will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai."



Check out the Polyvore Creations below and see how I styled these items...:) Have a blessed and fruitful week.

Let's go yellow


I hope everyone in the US had a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend. Mine was spent with the family with lots of house chores; scrubbing and cleaning every inch and cranny of the house and taking the kids to their favorite places. I took an involuntary break from blogging for a few days. It was involuntary because it was not planned. It was easier to blog in the winter time when there were piles of snow all around and the weather was cold and cloudy and there was nothing much to do outdoors but to curl up under the blankets with my laptop. Now the weather is warm and there is so much to do outdoors and to think I actually thought it would be easier for me to blog in the summer but not really...




I decided to go yellow in my outfit more as a plea to the sun to break out in the clouds...:) It's been raining a lot in the twin cities for the last couple of days and it has been cloudy with occasional peek of sun. So, my yellow blazer came in handy.

Sunday Outing

 
 
It's been raining on and off for the past few days in the twin cities and it's drizzling right now and the weather forecast says there is going to be more rain tomorrow too. My heart goes out to all those that were affected by the tornado in Oklahoma and I pray for a speedy recovery from that storm. 
 
Over here in MN, the weather was nice for a few hours on Sunday and after Church Service, we decided to stop by to grab some pizza for the kids. I had on a grey sheath dress and black blazer; very simple look which I brightened with some turquoise earrings.
