Passion and Purpose

It is so crazy to think that I started this blog two years ago! Watching it grow and seeing the impact that God has used it to have on people's lives has been the coolest thing and has humbled and blessed me greatly. One thing that has been really awesome is to see how much I have grown through the process of this blog. Two years ago I was a junior in high school with this idea from God to start blogging and encouraging girls through fashion and God's Word. Now I am a freshman at the greatest college in the world with an even greater passion to minister to women everywhere with fashion and Jesus. Pursuing fashion and business as a career is a dream but pursuing the calling of ministry is such a story of redemption. In the past two years God has set me on fire and plunged me into His love like never before. I've never been so excited about His kingdom and the dreams that He has purposed in my heart. I didn't think I would be blogging for this long but God has continued to make Fashionably Faithful grow and has continued to fill me with different things in life, His Word, and fashion, to share. I truly believe in people's passions and dreams. God places things in us to increase His kingdom and change the world. I just want to encourage you guys that whatever your dreams and passions are, do not stop pursuing them! We serve a unique and creative God that wants to use your passions for something so much bigger than yourself. Over the past few years I've watched God use my passions and ideas to impact and inspire people all around me. It constantly blows my mind, I'm so unworthy of carrying out God's presence and mandate but yet He still uses me in the most unique ways.  Blogging is one of my passions because it is a way for me to reach numerous amount of people with the love of Christ. I pray that God will continue to use me in whatever way He wants. Whether it be blogging, opening up my own store, spending time with people and letting them know they matter, taking out the trash, babysitting, or all of these, whatever it might be I want to be able to say "yes Jesus". I encourage you guys to never stop pursing the dreams God has purposed in your heart. Do not give up or let the world tell you it's not possible. When you use the dreams in your heart to glorify God he will take them further than you ever imagined. I never thought I would still be blogging and seeing it encourage people everywhere. But God knew. I'm so thankful for each and everyone of you who reads this blog and who encourages me in my walk with Jesus. I pray that you all can be inspired through Fashionably Faithful's story to continue relentlessly pursuing Jesus. God has created you for purpose. Chase after Him and everything else will follow. Here's to many more years of blogging, pursuing Jesus, and allowing the passions He has set in my heart to change every life I encounter. Love you guys and I would love to here from you on what your God given dreams and passions are so that I can pray for them! I pray that Fashionably Faithful can continue to inspire each of you in abundance!- Sofia
