The Real Picture....

Came across this video again recently, maybe some of you have already seen it before, it's an old dove commercial, but Love the point it's trying to prove.

You can't compete with something that is fake. Remember that what you see in a magazine and on billboards is not real beauty. Remember that Social Media, does not define true beauty, The LORD does! You are beautiful without the need of any additions, like makeup and jewelry.  You are beautiful because you radiate in your outer being the One who lives inside of you. You are his creation, you are wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).  As, I've written before, you must remember the enemy wants to change the perception of true Beauty, for 2 reasons: 1) so that you doubt in your God's love for you 2) so that we may focus so much on our outer being that we lose focus on who we should be inside. Don't give into his plan. Believe that God made you a beautiful lady and focus on beautifying your soul to please the Lord. It's the greatest skincare product, your face will just shine with his Joy and others will notice and will ask of the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15).Trust me!

You are beautiful, believe it, Be confident because of the ONE who lives in YOU.

Modest Girl of the Week: Claudia

Today meet Claudia. Claudia is such a special girl in my life. I love this lady so much, it’s an honour for me to know her. Her and her family are a living testimony of how God has the power to completely transform a life for His service and purpose. Claudia came to our church when she was about 19, broken by life, but JESUS came into the picture and restore the Joy of His Salvation in her life. She needed a change and embraced this lifestyle along with Modesty. She has a great testimony, maybe another time, she can share it in full. ; ).  For now, this what she had to say.

Name: Claudia

Age:     24

Dressing modestly Since: 2009

Anything you want to say:

I love sports, which can be hard to dress modestly for when you like to really play, but I work around it, it’s possible. For me dressing modestly has become part of who I am. I have the conviction in my heart that I’m pleasing God by dressing modestly and that is all that matters to me. He loved me so much to reach out to my life to show me the way of Truth, to save me and my family, I’m so grateful that I want to please him with everything. Holiness in my life is fundamental.

P.S. I love what she’s wearing, she looks great in it! Thanks Claudia. 

OOTD: Sunday Church Day!

So, I wanted to share an outfit with you all!

Over the holiday season I purchased some clothing from Jade McKenzie Apparel. She has a lot of nice modest clothing. When buying things online I’m always hesitant because sizing can vary, but lucky for me, this skirt fit me great. I really loved the skirt (LOVE RUFFLES – Can’t get enough of them), you can tell it’s great quality, worth the price you pay.  The only issue I had was the wait! Lol…it took a few weeks to get, but it was worth it. I was excited when I found the matching shirt too (totally on accident – wasn't even shopping for me!) and it was on clearance for only $7 bucks! I got a lot of compliments on this skirt from my beautiful church sisters, I’m sure Jade McKenzie would be proud. LOL….Yay!
