Hey everyone! So today is a very special day for Fashionably Faithful. This day one year ago Fashionably Faithful first post was published! I can't believe it's already been a year. It feels like just yesterday me and my best friend were sitting at Starbucks and I said "Do you think I should start a blog?" I have to say that I am so glad that I followed my passion and God's call on my heart to do this. Blogging over the past year has been such a cool experience. I've gotten to share with tons of people the love of Jesus, awesome experiences I've had, and great fashion. Having Fashionably Faithful has also brought me closer to God and brought out a lot of confidence in me. Every time I got ready to post a devotional or inspirational message I would settle my heart and seek God first. I found the things that I wrote didn't only inspire others but inspired me as well. So many of my posts leave me in awe of God because I know that there's no way I could've come up with them myself. I've also discovered so much about what it means to be beautiful. At first I was really scared to have a fashion blog because I didn't want to post pictures of myself, but I've found myself breaking out of my shell and finding this amazing beautiful confidence that comes from knowing Jesus. I'm not afraid to call myself beautiful and so much of that comes from doing this blog. Besides getting really awesome confidence, my passion for Jesus and fashion,that started this blog, have only increased. Fashion has always inspired me it's like a breath of fresh air, and I hope I get to style it, make it, design it, write it, read it, and wear it for the rest of my life. I have so much fun putting together outfits and finding other designers or people that love fashion to blog about. It's been an awesome journey to see my love of fashion grow through blogging! I am also so overjoyed with the response that Fashionably Faithful has gotten over the past year. I've had awesome support from family and friends and even strangers! It's the coolest thing to get emails and messages from people telling me how much they love this blog and that it greatly inspires them. When I published my first post I never would've though that 1 year later this blog would have over 5,200 views! I never thought I would be interviewing a famous musician! God does amazing things and I can't take any of the credit. I'm so thankful for the grace He has given me throughout this experience and for the amazing support system of loving friends and family. When I started this blog my vision was to create a place full of faith and fashion. I had no plans of it effecting my life in any way. I did it because I thought it would be fun and unique. But I was so wrong. Fashionably Faithful is so special to me, not because of all the views or awesome response , but because of it my heart has been touched and I have gotten to see God work in my life and in others in an amazing way. Glorifying Jesus is what life is all about and the fact that God has allowed me to do that through fashion and writing is so incredible and it blows me away every day. Thank you so much to everyone of you who read this blog, support it, and enjoy it. I can't wait to see what this next year of blogging brings. I know that I'm in for an adventure! The best is yet to come.
I'm bursting with God-news; I'm dancing the song of my Savior God. God took one look at me, and look what happened- I'm the most fortunate woman on earth! What God has done for me will never be forgotten, the God whose very name holy, set apart from all other. His mercy flows in wave after wave on those who are in awe before Him. ~ Luke 1:46-55 (MSG)
Love,
Sofia
