the ABC's of me

Today i thought i would share with you some random little "facts" about myself. I feel like sometimes you are not able to know the "real" me. When blogging you can discover little things about me like my fashion sense, favorite recipes, and faith, but there is another side of me you are not able to see simply because my personality is a little different when blogging. So im so excited to share with you some little ABC facts about myself, and in the future i hope to be doing more of these kinds of posts! Being personal on a blog i think is very important, so my goal is to do exactly that!

Imperfect

I am imperfect. Yes that is something that I am always needing to remind myself. I am human, I am imperfect and I make mistakes. I fail, I fall, I say things I shouldn't, I let my pride get in the way, and I'm fearful. Could you imagine what our God would be like if he was imperfect just like me? Sometimes I look at being imperfect as a horrible and awful thing. But then God reminds that if I wasn't imperfect, I wouldn't need His strength, love, guidance, or peace. I wouldn't' need God's help, and I wouldn't need to seek his will for me. Embrace your imperfect nature, and lean on God. Isaiah 26:4 "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock." When I say embrace your imperfect nature, I do not mean to love your sinful ways and party it up. I am simply saying that by embracing it you can see how much in need you are of a Savior. A Savior to save your life. A God who will love you just for you, mistakes and all. "It is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8    By embracing your imperfectness you rely on God's strength and wisdom for your life. We are all fallen and full of sin, but because of our Lord Jesus Christ he gave his life for us so that we could spend eternality with him. "Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."

pop of red

 Aren't these sunglasses just adorable? I am completely in love with them. I got them from "Paper Darling Vintage."  You can find some awesome vintage clothing, shoes, jewelry, and little odds and ends in her Etsy shop!  These sunglasses are super comfy, and fit really well. I color red is just the perfect shade, not too dark but not too light either! They are great for the summer and can go with just about any summer outfit. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop, you won't be sorry you did! :)

               

Oh how I love summer!

Let Freedom Ring // Style

                        
Fourth of July is right around the corner! This year I decided to put together an outfit for this special occasion. What says "the fourth," better than stars and strips? Well here is an outfit that's super simple, yet very fun, and you can still wear it in the summer on a everyday basis. :)

 Okay so I hope I'm not the only one being confused about Google reader and GFC leaving? It's past July first and GFC is still here, so I'm assuming it was just Google reader leaving? Anyways so sorry about all the confusion about it. I know so many blogs had something different to say about it, and I just couldn't take that chance of losing so many followers.  So because Google reader is gone now that's why there is bloglovin', so I'm hoping Google friend connection will still stay! So feel free to follow via bloglovin, and through Google friend connection. So comment below any info you know about this topic, and if you follow Google friend connection let me know and I'll return the favor!

p.s. what was your favorite post in my "let freedom ring," series for the fourth?
