Hi Friends!
Hope everyone is doing well. If you are like me today you are celebrating the beginning of school! I never thought I'd be back in "Mom Mode" and living my life by a school calendar in my seventies, but this is where God has me. Today I want to talk about why my tagline is "Fashion, Faith & Fun" I added "Food" this year because I am finding myself in a season where cooking has become part of my outreach. So, there you go!
If Fashion reflects how we see ourselves and the impression we make in the first few second's people see us, I want my reflection to be Jesus, the God and creator of our universe. That means dressing with dignity and strength.
Here is how Faith works with my Fashion Sense...
Proverbs 31:25 states that she is clothed with strength and dignity.
Nehemiah 8:10 tells me that the Joy of the LORD is my strength.
Titus 2:7 says that we are to model (there's a Fashion Term!) good works.
Our teaching (what people see and learn from us) needs to show integrity (honesty,) dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned.
Ladies, here is my challenge for you today. Put on Joy and Good Works! The way to do that is by remembering that our joy comes not from what we do or what we wear. Joy comes from the fact that Jesus loves us and is in control of not just what we think we give Him, but of the world! Joy comes from realizing that we are His! Created for such a time as this! The good works we are called to is what we do to point others to Christ. That's all!
Strength and Dignity, come from joy and good works. They lead us directly back to more joy because of our freedom in Christ!
In order to bring the Food element in, think of "Fashion, Faith & Fun" as a sandwich! In a sandwich the bread is on the outsides, Fashion and Fun! But the meat, the really good stuff in a sandwich is in the middle! That is our Faith! Without our faith, and dependence on Jesus, the sandwich is nothing but two pieces of bread.
When we wrap ourselves up in Jesus, our whole life becomes richer and more appealing to others. How are you showing the world that Jesus is LORD?
What kind of sandwich are you choosing to be?
