Fasting, Prayer, Fashion

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope all of you have had a blessed week so far! It has been so long since I last posted about fashion and faith and I'm having withdrawals. I've been so busy over this winter break. Working, spending time with family and friends, and now going on day two of my second semester of college. It's been crazy but now I finally have some time to sit down and write. It's a new year and I truly do believe that God is going to show up in my life like never before. Last year He baptized me in His spirit and set me on fire for ministry and souls. I am so excited to see what He has in store for this year, I know it's going to be beyond anything I could ever imagine. One thing that's been really cool is starting off this year with a 21 day fast with my church. It's just a meat and sweets fast so it hasn't been extremely challenging for me because I'm already a vegetarian and I'm not huge on sweets but it has been very rewarding. The member of the congregation were given devotion booklets by the church called My Sacred Season, this is the year of God's presence and each day there is a devotion for us to read, study, and start our day off seeking God's face and presence. I believe that this year is going to explode with God's presence like never before and I'm so excited to be on one accord with my church and take this first month of the year to pray and seek God so that the rest of the year is filled with signs and wonders. Jesus said that "And he said unto them, This kind can only come forth by nothing, but prayer and fasting." - Mark 9:29.  He was talking about the evil spirit that he had just cast out of a boy that the disciples couldn't cast out. Prayer and fasting is so important, it brings about miracles and I believe that what we sow right now is going to reap through the rest of the year. I'm so expectant for God to move and I can't wait to see what He does in my church (even though I will be away for school), my dorm room, my household, and for those I've been praying for. I want to encourage you guys to seek God's face. It's not always easy especially when we have things we want to so desperately hold onto that God is saying to let go of, but know that only good comes out of seeking His face and that He rewards those who elegantly seek Him. He has a purpose and special anointing for each of us. Hold onto the truth that you are His beloved. Love you guys!

So like I said it's been a while since I've made a fashion post. Now I am sitting in rainy and freezing Virginia wishing I could go back to sunny Florida so I could wear this again. I got the top from one of my best friends and the skirt at target. I LOVE sunflowers so this top is one of my favorites. I wanted to wear it to church and dress it up so instead of pairing it with jeans I wore it with this burgundy pleated skirt. At first I didn't know how I would like putting together the pleats and color with the sunflower top but I ended up loving how it looked. I am also in love with this skirt, the modest length is perfect and I love the color and high waist fit. I can't wait to be out of the cold so I can wear it again!

Oh and this is my fasting/prayer daily devotional from my church! It's so awesome!
