Denim and Keds + A Testimony

I pray that everyone had an awesome week and is ready for a spectacular weekend. My week actually went by so fast. It consisted of running errands non-stop while having a little Friday night fun celebrating my aunts birthday. Aside from all this I've been feeling "off" because I haven't been as active in my prayer and scripture time as I usually am. For example, I wake up. Say this quick robotic prayer as if that's enough to show my appreciation for all that my heavenly father has blessed me with, and at the end of the day, right before I get into bed, I say another quick robotic prayer as if that's enough. When we as Christian's fall behind in our walk with Christ, we have a hard time finding our way back. It almost becomes a bad habit. 

Since this has been heavily on my heart these past weeks, the Lord directed me to focus on Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

This all leads to one will and that is the will of God. The will of God is good, acceptable, and perfect". 

Our actions must match the will of God and not be of this world. The deeper our walk with Christ becomes the better we as children of God will be able to discern the will of God. When we are lukewarm, one foot in, one foot out of this world, I don't believe that power to discern God's will is fully there. It's so easy to get caught up in the world, but when we as God's children feel that tug on our hearts, I believe that it is God giving us a nudge to come back and renew ourselves because that is the will of God. God doesn't represent evil, so He doesn't have a grudge towards his children who have fallen. That's another reason why God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to walk this Earth.We needed to see how to love and live a life where we know how to repent for our sins. 

With all this being said, God is not angry with us when we don't give our all to him, but we can't expect to live a life of peace when our hearts aren't in line with Christ.

Denim Mini Skirt // White Tee // Keds 

Now to my denim and keds:) My denim skirt is actually Topshop's Moto petite denim skirt and I'm wearing a size 25. Since they have sold out in this skirt, I included another brand with a very similar look. My tee was like $4, and my Keds are my favorite of favorites because they have mini daisy like designs all over them!:)

Stay Blessed,

Maxi Romper

Romper (fav.), Similar, Similar

When I first saw the romper maxis, I fell in love. I know they aren't everyones cup of tea, but I love the fact that my butt isn't being hugged in a romper for everyone to see. The maxi lining in the back gives a more modest look without looking too covered up in the summertime. 

Elegantly Draped Dress

White Floral Dress // Nude Block Heels // Straw Hat // Bracelet

Happy Friday beauties! I hope everyone has had a great week so far. I don't know about you, but this week is flying by so fast. I can barely remember Monday. Tuesday I had fun at Olive Garden and downtown with a group of my girlfriends. Wednesday I worked non-stop with family stuff. Yesterday, I helped my aunt with family reunion stuff for this weekends masquerade party. And today is the meet and greet at the Embassy Suites for our family that is coming in from Tampa, Florida!:) I'll fill you in more with how the events for the family reunion goes!;)

Now, to this outfit. Right now, this dress is my favorite. I've worn it for so many occasions in the short time that I've purchased it. Even though it is a maxi dress, it's only lined to my mid thigh. This allows the dress to be cool enough to wear on the most hottest days. I paired this dress with my Altar'd State nude sandal heels, my boat hat, and delicate gold jewelry pieces. These shoes are also my go to heels for this summer. Even though they are higher than 4 inches, they are still super comfortable and easy to walk in.

I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend filled with many happy memories! Before you go, I would like to leave you with a bible verse that has been on my mind a lot lately. We live in a society where it's so easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and how they are living that we forget that God has set you apart for a very important reason.

Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Stay Blessed,

What I've Been Up To?

I pray that everyone is having an awesome summer! My vacation has started out really great. I was in my cousin Iesha's wedding, and it was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been in. The wedding was held at St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church and the reception was at the Holly Tree Country Club. Their colors were malibu blue, we rode in a limo, and had lots of fun!:)

I passed my Masters presentation at USC, so now I only have a few more courses until I am finished with that chapter. My goal was to have it completed this summer, but I have to admit...I've been really burnt out. I was working from 7:30-3PM Monday through Friday, and then at night I was writing papers and creating presentations with video footage for my courses. There were many nights where I wouldn't get to bed until 2:30AM, and then have to be at work by 7:30AM. 

For my daddy's birthday, we surprised him with tickets to see The Lion King on Broadway. Since The Lion King was played so much on the VCR as a child, we wanted to bring back those warm memories. He was so shocked when we arrived at the Peace Center, and he was even more shocked to see the great seats we got him (mission accomplished)!:)

I've been up to several other's things, but those are a little too personal for my blog. All I can say is that God has really been working in my life and He is always good!

Stay Blessed,
xoxo Tatiana
