Mississippi Longing

This year was the best year of my life.  I enjoyed it more than I ever imagined that I would.  I am happy to be home, but I wish that the summer would fly by so that I can be with the people that I love in the place that I love.  Remembering the good times is what is keeping me sane.

These are the times (and the people) that I miss the most:

 

Black and White

Black and white is beautiful.

So classic.

Breathtaking.

And lucky for me, it sells.  I work in a clothing store that specializes in the black and white.  Which makes sense.  Black and white is a fashion statement.  It is a staple in everyone's closet.  One needs to have black and white options.  From really casual to black tie.  It makes sense.

But I can't say that style is me.  I love color.  I'm not asking for a lot.

Maybe just a little bit of LOVE.

Don't Let Your Heart Be Troubled

This morning was my first Sunday back to the church I have grown up in.  And like normal, the sermon was written and delivered with me in mind.  God knew what the congregation needed to hear.

I have been dealing a lot lately with stress and worldly problems.  Each day I can feel the weight of my struggles pressing deeply into my shoulders.  There are some days when the burden is so heavy that I can only see my feet.  But today, God wanted me to see a little differently.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God; trust also in Me."

-John 14:1

Let your hair down.
Shrug off the burden.
Take your shoes off.
Dance.
Take a load off.
Be at ease.
Enjoy peace and quiet.
Relax.
Give it up.
Get out of town.



Let go and let God.
