Trusting God | Featured Post – SevntyOne

Today we have a featured post from a friend, Matheus, Matt! As most of the people who have been featured are close friends, so is Matt. Growing up together, attending the same church and seeing his love and passion for God I asked Matt if he would right a post, especially since all the past features have been women. Matt’s post is what God placed in his heart. Also Matt and another friend Lucas currently have a Youtube page and an Instagram ( @SevtnyOne) with amazing videos based on messages like his post below, to help you know God, so make sure you check them out, follow and subscribe!!!

Have you ever been in a situation where your first reaction was to panic? I sure have. It might seem a little silly or pointless to react this way, but I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has melt downs when I can’t find my phone. For most of us, we can’t live without that glowing screen with buttons and if it’s not next to us, we panic. However, we always have two options; panic or remain calm and look for it. In life we will always find ourselves face to face with challenges. It could be a work related challenge, a school related challenge, an emotional challenge, or spiritual challenges but we will always have some sort of challenge. Just like the phone epidemic, we have two options on how to react when we encounter these challenges. We could either let it get to us, or trust that God is in control. The results of each option is completely different. If we choose to let it get to us then the results will be worrying, anger, sadness, stress, and so on. If we choose to trust God the result will be peace, security, understanding, and so on. The bible teaches us that those who trust in the Lord, are at peace (Isa. 26:3). Trusting God is the best option to choose but not the easiest. Trusting in Him means we have to believe that He is in control; that even though the situation looks bad from the outside, God knows what’s happening on the inside. I encourage you, the reader, to trust God in every moment of your life. Without trust there can be no love and If you love God you must trust God. We are living in a time where the world is becoming less and less holy, but even in the midst of all this destruction we trust that God is in control and has a plan set in place and His plan involves you. Let’s live according to His calling in us, trusting and loving Him every day no matter what. Grace and peace!

Thank you Sandy for the opportunity to write a post on your blog! I pray that God continues to bless and prosper you and this project!

Looks of the Week in Canada – Vacation Edition + Mini Vlog

I, a couple of friends and family took a road trip up to Montreal Canada for one of my best friend’s beautiful wedding. ( Kerry, who has been one of my WFW) I took the chance during the mini getaway to capture some of our trip with videos, as well as a few looks. I want to give a huge shout out and thanks to my best friend Haline who did a great job at getting my looks for the video ! The video also features two of my other friends who made Canada a blast, four girls in a hotel room brings lots of laughter.  Check out the video and details on all the looks below.

Look One
Outfit of the Day - Gladiators

Dress : H&M / Purse : Urban Outfitters (In Store, Not Online) /Shoes : Steve Madden / Sunglasses : Aldo

Outfit of the Day image3The first look was a different kind for me and very much springy. I almost never wear shirt dresses or never find one that fits correctly and isn’t too short. But this one was definitely a score from H&M. Of course underneath I made sure everything was sealed and tucked away in case the wind got too strong or a button came undone. For the shoes I picked my comfy gladiators form H&M, that I absolutely love, especially for my bowed skinny legs that don’t fit into all gladiators. I picked to wear these shoes almost everyday …that’s I how much I loved them.

Summer Holiday Lovin’ OOTD – 4th of July

4th of July Outfit

Dress : Zara / Shirt : Old from AE / Sneakers : Converse / Purse : (fringe) from H&M

IMG_8322FullSizeRender

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July with lots of fun and celebrating. 4th of July is like the Christmas/New Years of the summer, especially when you’re a winter baby and you do not have a real reason  to celebrate other than holidays. 4th of July was spent around friends and family with lots of laughs. Anyone who knows me that is all I do, laugh, and obnoxiously, some people hate it, some people love it, most people make fun of the way it sounds.

At first, I wasn’t really feeling 4th of July because of the weather, but after a nap and actual plans I spruced right up. Mostly because I came up with an outfit I was pleased with and it did not require any additional shopping or last minute purchases, which made my night. The striped dress was recently purchased at Zara as a part of their basics collection ( before their sale) in several different colors, that slightly range in different lengths. They are so comfortable, great for on the go and can easily be dressed up or down, that I purchased 3 of them. However, I did have to get them tailored because they fit a little tighter, the small was too small for my comfort, but the top on the medium was too loose and hung too low, so I got the straps pulled up/shortened. To pull everything together, of course I had to mix prints with a plaid flannel from high school (5 years ago ..:( ..) tied around my waist and a new pair of chucks ( Converse’s/ All Stars).
