The "Royal" Wedding

First off, a special thank you to everyone who made time to check out my new blog. I'm very excited about this endeavor and I'm optimistic about where it will take me.I decided to step out on faith and I hope someone can draw inspiration from my passion;I digress (habit).

From the title of this post you can already guess where I went this past weekend. Weddings are always exciting to me because its an excuse for me to be fancy and I'm not ashamed to say I watch all of those bridal shows regularly (especially Four Weddings). So, when a relative asked me to be a hostess for her wedding I nonchalantly said, "sure" but I was obviously flattered.

The main color for the wedding was royal blue but, there was absolutely nothing royal or blue in my closet. Of course this was the perfect excuse to go shopping because I "needed" a dress, and to my surprise it was a lot harder to find a royal blue dress than I thought. About five stores later I found the perfect dress and it was on sale (my favorite word). God had this dress waiting just for me I'm sure of it. 

Below you will find more photos,snapshots with some family(including the bride),and an encouraging scripture.

"Launch Out" Luke 5:4-6

4."When he had finished speaking,he said to Simon,"Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.5 Simon answered,'Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything.But because you say so,I will let down the nets.'6 When they had done so,they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break."(NIV)

Interpretation

My pastor recently spoke in reference to this scripture and he spoke on the subject of faith. Simon and these other fishermen were not novice at their job, but they were professionals and had no success on that particular occasion. Simon had toiled all day but launched the net because Jesus instructed him to and he had faith in God. The main point is,don't feel frustrated because there is no success in sight. Your situation is only for a season and when you continue to be obedient to God,you will prosper. The greater your faith is in Him, the greater your outcome will be.Remember that its okay to want more in life.Once you get past the rough patch, you will have a greater appreciation for where you are.

Stay Chic!
