Strength In Weakness

Strength_in_weakness

God provides strength in weakness to us. It’s a fact that as human beings, we lack resources and power on our own. The good news is that God is all-powerful and He is mighty! When we feel weak, it is the perfect opportunity to ask God for help! Whenever we call, God shows up eagerly to help us and to reveal things that benefit us, no matter what position we find ourselves in. He is worthy of the highest praise! In the Bible, Paul dealt with feelings of weakness. We are comforted in God’s words to Paul:

My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.”

(2 Corinthians 12:9 CEB)

In the verse above, Jesus mentions that His grace is sufficient for us. Grace is defined as: the free and unmerited favor of God. Grace is something given to us; a gift through faith, not something that we have to earn. God’s gift of grace is enough to help us through any challenge we face in our lives. God has unlimited resources that He makes available to us when we ask for His help. [Read more…]

Easy and Comfortable Outfit and Simple Makeup

I love an easy and comfortable outfit just as much as the next girl! Since it has been raining non-stop in the Charlotte area for the past few days, today I’m sharing a casual and rainy day outfit that I really enjoyed wearing. I picked this simple outfit because of the messy weather and because I knew that we weren’t going to be doing that much:

Grabbing lunch
Running a few errands, including a trip to TARGET!!!
Casual dinner out with some friends later in the evening 🙂

When I’m going to be out for a majority of the day, comfort is key. On this type of day, I always know that I will need comfy feet and non-fussy clothes and accessories! Also, Jacob is 9 months old now and I have to be able to get to him easily, be ready for anything, and maneuver effortlessly. Right away I knew that my riding boots would be the best choice for shoes. After I chose those, the other items fell into place. A soft button down top with a good drape is so versatile and can easily be dressed up or down depending on jewelry and shoes worn with it. The boyfriend shirts from AEO are great and slightly longer in the back, so the front of them can be tucked in nicely. They also work great for leggings. I consider this Olive green one a staple in my closet. I often go straight for this shirt and it is one of those items that we all have in our closets that we “just know” works every time- making getting ready so easy. I’ve shared before that I adore the look of mixing metals in home decor and the same goes for with my jewelry! I wear jeans most of the time and H & M has the most awesome and affordable selections of skinny jeans that fit so well- I have had mine for three years and they have just gotten better with time! Roller-ball fragrances have been good to use while on the go and take up no space in my bag. I took Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black with me for refreshing while out. As far as I’m concerned, cheetah print is a neutral so I added a little with a thin belt! [Read more…]

October Baby Favorite Items

Is anyone else really excited for the weekend to officially begin?! It’s going to be Jacob’s very first Halloween, so I just can’t wait to dress him up in his little duckling costume!!! We don’t get too much into actual Halloween in my family, but we are going to dress the baby in a cute costume (how could I not!) and hand out candy to the neighborhood kids. With October just about to end, I am looking forward to November and all of the Thanksgiving festivities coming up, as well as my Birthday that’s in early November. Today, l’m all about sharing with you guys our Baby + Mommy Favorites for October. We have constantly used these few things around here. Here’s a quick view of our baby favorite items for the month:

Below I have the breakdown of why we are loving them all. Enjoy!

Mustela Stelatopia– This moisturizing cream has been a true lifesaver lately for Jacob’s dry skin. It is geared toward babies and kids with very dry and/or eczema-prone skin and it has worked wonders for his dry areas. It’s very light and I love that it absorbs easily because these days, I can’t hold him down! He’s all over the place when we try to change his diaper, dress him, or moisturize his skin! This has been used a whole lot for the month of October.
Halloween Sleep N’ Plays– These were just too cute and are festive without being morbid and scary. No way was I going to pass these up on a trip to Wal-mart a few months ago! I grabbed them and put them away until October officially [Read more…]
