Faith Vs. Fear

photo fear6.jpg

I don't know about you, but I am a huge dreamer! I have so many ideas and dreams that run through my head on a daily basis. One of my crazy dreams was to start a modest clothing line! In my dreams it seems so easy, but in reality it is going to take a lot of hard work! I covet your prayers!

My pastor preached this morning about fear and how it paralyzes Christians. I couldn't help to think about my endeavor to try to start this clothing line. I am so afraid of failure. But, I know God has laid this dream on my heart. I love inspiring, encouraging, and helping ladies dress more modern and modest. I have to have faith that God will help me start this clothing line and that He will use it to bless many ladies!

Fear can stop so many Christians from doing what God has for them to do. Are you scared to sing that solo, but you know God has blessed you with a beautiful voice? Step out in faith that God will calm your nerves and bless someone from your song. Are you afraid to witness to your neighbor that you know doesn't attend church? Step out in faith and share the love of Jesus with them! Are you scared to give God your tithes and offerings? Step out in faith and know that God will bless you abundantly. Are you afraid to let go of control of your life and give the reigns over to God? Step out in faith and trust Him with your life, after all you trust Him with your soul... why not trust Him with your life?

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

Let's replace our fears with faith and trust that God is going to make a way! ♥

Now onto the week of outfits! We went back to school this week, and I'm already looking forward to Spring Break...haha!

    I am writing this to simply thank you for that post. I have been dealing a lot with fear, and God showed me in church last week that I need to turn my fear into faith. Now I have been seeing it literally everywhere! Random friends posting songs and Bible verses about changing your fear to faith, my devos memory verse for the week about not fearing, and now this post. It makes me feel special knowing God is really trying to get the message across! Thank you for being a part of His plan to make my faith bigger than my fear. :) -A. H.

    Please include us plus size ladies in your clothing line. God's love shines in bigger bodies, too

    So many cute skirts! I think the polka dotted one is my favorite with the green one being a close second.

    I have recently found out that many people consider the 3/4 length sleeve to be a bit grandmother looking. What do you think about this? Do you usually fold up your sleeves to this length or buy items already at this length?

      I've never heard this. Majority of preppy styles are 3/4 sleeves. I live in Florida, I can't wear long sleeves unless it's under 60.
