(Well, kind of)<span style="font-size: large;">Hey y'all!! Wow, I have not posted on here in almost a year and a half! If you are reading this right now, thanks so much for STILL following along, even though I've been silent for waaaaayyyyy too long! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The truth is, I've changed a lot. So many things have happened in my life and it just got crazy busy! Also, you may recall that God nudged me in February of 2017 to stop blogging for a while. Obviously, I obeyed. So, I'm coming back! .....but not exactly what you might think.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am NOT coming back to Bows & Clothes. No, I am only coming back to blogging. I have a new blog! I have completely switched platforms and have my own domain now and everything! I am so grateful for all of the support and fun times and comments from you guys! Blogging at Bows & Clothes was so amazing and I am forever grateful for the fun journey! I've changed, and so I decided that I should start completely fresh with a whole new blog. It is called <a href="https://wholeheartedwanderings.com/" target="_blank">Wholehearted Wanderings</a>. It is about my path toward wholehearted living. I know what you're thinking: what does that even mean?? I wrote all about in on my <a href="https://wholeheartedwanderings.com/about-the-blog/" target="_blank">About the Blog</a> page over at my new blog, but here is an excerpt:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">"So far, right now, I believe it means to live sincerely committed, enthusiastically faithful, and unwaveringly purposeful. I want to live fearless, bold, and wild. I want to grow, get honest and vulnerable, and live fully myself as His daughter. I want to be so in love with Jesus that all of this just overflows out of me. So, I guess it all starts with loving Jesus with everything that I am.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I want to live on fire and on purpose. I desire to bring all of myself into situations. By no means am I naturally a zealous person, and maybe that's why I want to live like this. I am the type of person holds back and hides, but I want to become the one who gives her all, puts her whole heart out there. But, 90% of the time, I don't. And so this is my journey, my path toward that."</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, that's kind of what I mean by my title, Wholehearted Wanderings. My vision for the new blog is for it to be a place of encouragement and inspiration for all who are longing to go deeper, into life with Christ. I am planning on posting about almost everything. I live such a varied life, that I find it hard to narrow it down to a specific niche. I am planning on posting about my life, health, style, faith, and pretty much anything else. Haha! I'm still working on it. ;)</span></div>

I am so grateful for all of the love and support from y'all here, and would love to continue our relationship at Wholehearted Wanderings as well!</span></div>

I know it has been a really long time since I have posted. I am sorry for that. The truth is, I feel that, at least for now, my season of blogging is over. Somehow, someway, blogging became a chore and not the fun, fruitful space it had been before. And I didn't and don't like that. I started this blog to grow my style, help others with their style, and to inspire others. Sadly, I don't believe that that is what this blog is anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, all of that to say, at least for right now, I am going to step away from blogging. I don't know if I will come back or not. I may, but I am not sure. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to thank all of my blogging friends who helped me along this journey and who supported me. I would also like to thank all of my amazing readers. You guys are the best! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The other day, I was praying about whether or not to stop blogging and the Lord brought me to Ecclesiastes 3, so I thought I would share it with you guys:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." -Ecclesiastes 3:1-8</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This outfit is one of my favorites mainly because it is so simple, yet it's not at all boring. The colors in this top are absolutely my favorite because they can be worn for Christmas, but it doesn't scream Christmas, so it can be worn at any time. This shirt pretty much stands alone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I actually didn't wear this outfit for New Year's Eve; we had planned on having a somewhat large party but some things fell through and we ended it up having just a small get-together. However, I would so wear this outfit. :)</span></div>

As much as I like the break and holiday's, I am kind of glad to be getting back into the swing of things. I am the type of person who really likes routine, so I don't really mind getting back into it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I have for y'all an outfit that I shot when it was snowing on Saturday, and a new link up is live! {We are finally getting back into it.}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, sorry for the pixelated pictures. For some reason when I resize my iPhone photos, they get really pixelated.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Originally, I wore this outfit with my lace up booties {<a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/12/7-reasons-why-you-should-donate-to.html">here</a>} but when I shot this outfit, it was snowing outside and snow and suede don't mix. 😉 So, I just wore my black ankle boots instead.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the way the olive shirt looks with the tan cardigan. And then I added my leopard scarf which kind of brought the whole outfit together. </span></div>

I hope you guys had an amazing New Year's Eve and that the year has started out well for y'all. This year, instead of writing resolutions, I decided to buy <a href="https://shop.cultivatewhatmatters.com/collections/2017-powersheets-and-accessories">Lara Casey's PowerSheets</a>, so for the new year, I am doing <a href="https://shop.cultivatewhatmatters.com/collections/2017-powersheets-and-accessories">PowerSheets</a> {an intentional goal planner} and I {well, actually God} chose one word as a theme for the year. Today, I wanted to talk to you guys about my one word for 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0bTez3lP-fnRs6WG0lC9vqbb51BA7QL-ug4RvTYC-tXYZpum1PFnTHmuWInVoKxud16hbszCsDYalZY0Kslsox8gUWL00vdES7lOl0lLGvEUQ3V04qikFlwHrDoOhAcfaePrzecOIXb3/s1600/2017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="My One Word for 2017 new year resolutions goals inspiration faith faithful God prayer " border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0bTez3lP-fnRs6WG0lC9vqbb51BA7QL-ug4RvTYC-tXYZpum1PFnTHmuWInVoKxud16hbszCsDYalZY0Kslsox8gUWL00vdES7lOl0lLGvEUQ3V04qikFlwHrDoOhAcfaePrzecOIXb3/s1600/2017.jpg" title="My One Word for 2017 via mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com #oneword #onelittleword #2017 #2k17 #newyear" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All throughout 2016 {especially the last 3-4 months} God has continued to show me more and more of His grace. I, like many others out there, struggle with perfection. {You can read more about that <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/10/on-grace-and-perfection.html">here</a>}. I wrote this in my journal at the beginning of December:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"I am really good at putting on the mask of perfection, mainly because I want to be. I not only want others to think that I am perfect, but I want to be perfect as well. But perfection is unattainable and not practical."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">God has been teaching me about His unfailing and immeasurable grace. That I don't have to be perfect because His great grace is mine as His child. It has been a journey, and I'm not even done yet. I don't know that I ever will be done exploring God's grace because it is that amazing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Naturally, after all of this with grace, I was tempted to make <i>grace</i> my word for 2017. But, at the same time, I still wanted God to reveal a word to me. Because no matter how good I think a word may be, God's words are always best. Last year, my God-chosen word was <i>uncomfortable</i> {you can read more on that subject <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/01/one-word.html">here</a>.} And it was great, and quite uncomfortable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I went into each devotional and goal setting time with God kind of dwelling on grace, yet at the same time seeking God's direction. On December 28th, as I was reading my One Word devotions on YouVersion Bible app, I was going through the questions and God spoke deep into my heart. He said:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"I want you to know My power, to know My love. I am always faithful and I am always gracious."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And in that moment I wrote this in my journal:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Faith to dare to believe that I am His, that He's got me, that I can overcome through Him"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I don't even know how I came up with it, because I didn't. It was all the Spirit. And I wondered if <i>faithful</i> should be my word. I spent over half an hour looking up faithful in the dictionary, thesaurus, and in the back of my Bible. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Honestly, it felt risky, and it still does. But that's okay because with God, risky is good. Risky requires <i>faith</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the meanings and synonyms of <i>faithful</i> that stick out to me are:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">True to one's word, promises, vows, etc</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">steady in allegiance or affection, loyal, constant</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">reliable, trusted, or believed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">full of faith</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">affectionate, devoted, enduring, genuine, honest, honorable, loving, obedient, resolute, sincere, steady, tried, true, trustworthy, truthful, unchanging, unswerving, unwavering.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I not only want to experience God as <i>faithful</i> and believe that's who He is, but I also want to be <i>faithful.</i> I want to be sincere, full of faith, trustworthy, and devoted not only to God, but also the people He places in my life.</span></div>
<div>

Sorry for the absence. The holiday's are busy! I know that you guys feel the same way that I do: tired, but loving all the family and friend time. Today's post is just a rambley {is that a word? Who cares, you get what I'm saying 😉} compilation of some random stuff that I have been thinking about lately.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In other news, <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/#uds-search-results">Dressember</a> is almost over! Tomorrow is the last day! Honestly, I am going to miss only wearing dresses and advocating for those stuck in trafficking, but I am so ready to start wearing pants again! There is just something about a pair of jeans, am I right?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, if you haven't had a chance to donate, I encourage you to prayerfully consider donating to <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/#uds-search-results">Dressember</a> to help free and rescue victims of human trafficking. You can do so <a href="https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/team/98461">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, I will be recapping Dressember along with Ada, co-hosting her Thursday Moda Link Up on January 12th, and we will be sharing our NYE outfits. Below is a sneak peek of mine!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have been thinking about writing a wishlist post, but I don't have quite enough items for a full post, so I will just talk about them here. 😉</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For years, I have wanted a pair of <a href="http://us.hunterboots.com/womens-footwear-rainboots/">Hunter rain boots</a>, but this year, my craving has gotten so much stronger. I want <a href="http://us.hunterboots.com/female-tall-rain-boots/womens-original-adjustable-gloss-rain-boots/pink/2133">them in Bright Cerise</a>, which is a bright, medium pink.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a fashion blogger, Kendra Scott is "it". Pretty much, you are not a fashion blogger until you own something Kendra Scott. The thing that I want is <a href="http://www.kendrascott.com/elisa-pendant-necklace-in-white-pearl.html">the Elisa necklace</a>. I'm not sure what color/stone I want, though.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have also been eyeing to buy either <a href="http://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-los-gatos-fleece-vest/25216.html?dwvar_25216_color=ELKH&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-fleece-casual#tile-3=&start=1&sz=24">this Patagonia vest</a>, <a href="http://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-synchilla-lightweight-fleece-snap-t-fleece-pullover/25455.html?dwvar_25455_color=CUBB&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-fleece-casual#tile-3=&start=1&sz=24">this Patagonia pullover</a>, or <a href="http://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-re-tool-snap-t-fleece-pullover/25442.html?dwvar_25442_color=FIKX&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-fleece-casual#tile-3=&start=1&sz=24">this Patagonia pullover</a>. They are so expensive though!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Who else is mesmerized by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Glitter-Quicksand-Adorable-Floating/dp/B01E8R3U8E/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1483044732&sr=1-2&keywords=glitter+iphone+case">these</a> phone cases? They are the coolest! When I get a new phone case, it's going to be one of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Glitter-Quicksand-Adorable-Floating/dp/B01E8R3U8E/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1483044732&sr=1-2&keywords=glitter+iphone+case">these</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And the last item on my wishlist is a pair of <a href="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/free-rn-womens-running-shoe/pid-10944655/pgid-11544432">black Nike Free RN</a> tennis shoes. I run occasionally, so <a href="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/free-rn-womens-running-shoe/pid-10944655/pgid-11544432">these</a> would be great for that, but also just for casual wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a huge football watcher, so I am super excited for the playoffs! Who is with me?!</span><br />

I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm not the only one who feels like it doesn't <i>feel </i>like Christmas. It's not just me. I have talked to a few friends and family, and they all say it the same way: It doesn't feel like Christmas and everything is going by so quickly.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure you've felt this way before. Like it doesn't feel like Christmas. Real talk y'all, as I was writing down the date on Sunday, I wrote September. No kidding, I seriously feel like it's still September. It's going by so fast!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the past couple of weeks or so, it has really been on my mind that it doesn't feel like Christmas. I haven't been able to escape it. It just looms over my head like a dark, gloomy cloud. I try to allude it, but it keeps coming up.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I was chatting with my best friend, I said I hated that it didn't feel like Christmas. Like I literally was angry. Because I love Christmas. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I didn't want to miss it. I don't want to miss it. I desperately just wanted to fix it. I thought if I just fixed it, that all would be right in the world again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But that's not true. My mom reminded me that I should try to listen to God's thoughts on the subject. On Sunday morning, before I wrote September on my sermon notes, I wrote this in my prayer journal:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">"Jesus, help me not to miss the wonder of Christmas. The wonder of your birth. Keep my heart tender and sensitive to what you did and what you are actively doing, Holy One. Hold my heart and speak peace and whatever it is I need into the depths of my soul. It doesn't feel like Christmas, and I don't know why. I desperately just want to fix it and make it better, but maybe I just need to watch the miracles in the middle of the mess. Maybe this is all part of your plan. Maybe there's a reason for this. Maybe your just waiting for me to find you, when my tired eyes stop looking for 'Christmas' with it's red bows and reindeer, and actually look for You, Christ, with Your scarred hands and scandalous grace. Maybe, just maybe, that's it."</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The very next day, I hit a hard realization. That realization was: "I missed it." And as I thought deeply about missing it, {by "it" I mean Christmas, joy, peace, the heart of Christmas, what it's actually about, etc.} God whispered, "No, but you might. You still have a few days left. It's not over yet."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I should mention, I am an emotionally driven person. I rely on my emotions to get me ready, excited, etc. So if I don't feel it, it doesn't/shouldn't happen. And through all of this, I kept thinking, "You should just make it. You should just make it feel like Christmas."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And here I am, writing this post at 4:48 pm on Tuesday, December 20th, and God is still speaking to me. I am not there yet. It still doesn't feel like Christmas. But God just {literally like 10 seconds ago} reminded me that I don't have the power to do that. I don't have the power to make it feel like Christmas. Only He does. He's the One.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't make it feel like Christmas. You can't make it feel like Christmas. None of us can make it feel like Christmas. Only God can do that. Maybe that's not the point. Maybe it's not supposed to feel like Christmas. Maybe God is using this mess to make a miracle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps, God is teaching me something. Because I am not on the other side yet, I don't know what He's trying to teach me. But that's okay. I used to think that it all had to be good. I was so obsessed with everything being alright and perfect, but God has been showing me that that's not the way that life is. Life is a mess. It's time for us to allow others to see our messes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here I am, broken and far from perfect. Totally unknowing of what God is going to do next, but anticipating what might come. But I'm here, and I am sharing. And that is all God is asking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the real question is, how can I/we focus on God since He's the one that we are supposed to see? How can I focus on Him instead of the fact that it doesn't feel like Christmas? One way that I feel God is through worship. A favorite worship/Christmas song right now is <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjG2Kup44PRAhXCUiYKHdWvAG4QyCkIHTAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1VI3yGkRXPA&usg=AFQjCNGTlR-moSWzLOZmKMqEO6HpuwKgeQ&sig2=x31-hTpAoT6bv6vJ-6YA9g&bvm=bv.142059868,d.eWE">Receive Our King by Meredith Andrews</a>. It keeps refocusing me on Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Son of God. Also, go listen to <a href="https://christynockels.com/store/the-thrill-of-hope/">Christy Nockels's new Christmas album</a> called <i>A Thrill of Hope</i>. It is SO GOOD.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And the other thing that keeps me focused on God is service. I find that when I am focused on serving and helping others, I get joy, I get peace. The ways that I have been really trying to give is through random acts of kindness and through <a href="http://www.dressember.org/">Dressember</a>. <a href="http://www.stillbeingmolly.com/">Molly Stillman</a> has two {<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiLr8zG5IPRAhXG4SYKHfsCCsIQFggaMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stillbeingmolly.com%2F2016%2F01%2F04%2F366-random-acts-kindness-ideas%2F&usg=AFQjCNFOsvS_0Q-m7y-IMeiUmiLCa4tcnw&sig2=npDorH9a2SP6KGZsXQmbOg&bvm=bv.142059868,d.eWE">one</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiLr8zG5IPRAhXG4SYKHfsCCsIQFggpMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stillbeingmolly.com%2F2016%2F11%2F29%2F25-acts-random-christmas-kindness-trikind25%2F&usg=AFQjCNFezfqtLnhy9NQt38osKPR7YzCVoA&sig2=9OVWVcEf783hFWcugcYc2A&bvm=bv.142059868,d.eWE">two</a>} great and comprehensive posts full of amazing random acts of kindness. </span></div>

Today, I am sharing with you guys a story of a trafficking survivor. This whole story and the pictures are from <a href="http://www.a21.org/">A21</a>, which is an organization that works to end human trafficking. The money that you give to <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember </a>goes to <a href="http://www.a21.org/">A21</a> & <a href="https://www.ijm.org/">IJM</a> to help end trafficking and save those enslaved.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">“Having the opportunity to share my story with other women, and hopefully save even one from similar abuse, makes me genuinely believe that it’s better that I went through this experience than not having lived it at all.”</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are the words from a twenty-five year old American survivor of human trafficking. This brave declaration seems impossible, unutterable, and astounding to anyone who knows the horrors of human trafficking. But this confession speaks to a young woman who has found her purpose, strength, and hope after an incredibly painful ordeal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Her story is not unlike others we’ve heard, but one of her distinctive and remarkable qualities is that she identifies herself as a <b>survivor, not a victim.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a 10-year-old girl, she was abused at the hands of a trusted family member.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In her words she says: “This abuse changed the way I saw myself in the mirror, and in the way I presented myself to other people. My self-esteem deteriorated, and my relationships with men were completely skewed. As I grew up I fell into a battle with drugs and an eating disorder.”</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Her life was spiraling out of control, and she decided to move to a different part of the United States to start fresh and find healing from her past.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In her vulnerability and constant battle with drugs she met a young man who befriended her, and in her words was, <b>“very giving of his time emotionally, and presented himself as really easy to talk to.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This man pitched an idea to her that seemed like a way out of her troubles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The business proposition was to offer massage services out of this young man’s home, along with his girlfriend who had already been offering these same services. Everything seemed legitimate so she went for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She quickly discovered that what seemed like a dream was really a nightmare. She had been manipulated and lied to, and worst of all, she had unknowingly come face to face with the sobering reality of human trafficking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <img height="426" src="https://neutrinodata.s3.amazonaws.com/a21/userimages/A21Promo-32.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In the middle of one of the wealthiest and “safest” places in the United States, this young woman was held against her will and forced to sleep with multiple men a day, no matter the day, the hour, or whether she was sick or tired. With each client she was forced to service she lost not only her sense of dignity, but also a piece of herself.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The abuse and conditions became worse, and she desperately longed for a way out. Every threat imaginable was thrown at her-- threats of violence, withholding of the drugs to which she was now completely addicted, and harm to her family.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One day after being allowed to send a package to her family, she came back to find that a shipment of drugs had been delivered to her apartment. The drugs must have been very strong because her trafficker and his girlfriend had completely passed out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She knew this was her only chance to reclaim her life. Without hesitation, she grabbed her keys and ran for her life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After making a call to her mother and friend, she was taken to a remote detox facility and began what would be the longest and hardest road to recovery she had ever known.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been three years since she decided to face every possible fear and obstacle and find her life again. Today, she is a sponsor for other women with drug, alcohol, and trafficking backgrounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">She says, “For the most part, I walk around fearless of the past. It took courage to heal--letting go of the fear of men, and rebuilding my self esteem so I could open myself up to be loved again.”</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As human trafficking often seems like a distant and far off epidemic, this young woman’s story proves that it’s just as pervasive in the United States as anywhere else in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In sitting down with Grace* and asking some questions, these are just a few of the many things we can learn from a story like hers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><img height="426" src="https://neutrinodata.s3.amazonaws.com/a21/userimages/A21Promo-29.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A21: From a Survivor’s perspective what would you say is the biggest misconception about trafficking in the U.S.?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grace</b>: “Like many others out there, if you had told me that trafficking would be an experience in my life, I would have likely shuddered and turned my thoughts to something more pleasant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The biggest misconception is the cliché, “I believe it happens, but it won’t ever happen to me.” I fell into it in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. There is not one specific stereotype for a trafficker. In my personal experience, my captor ended up being someone whom I’d once regarded as a friend.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>A21: What would you say the biggest struggle was right after escaping and what is it now?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grace</b>: “My biggest struggle was adapting back to the mainstream flow of life. I suffered from extreme paranoia and fear for the first three months. I felt trapped by my mind and like an outsider that I couldn’t find joy in the day-to-day activities like I was witnessing with others.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today the struggle is flashbacks and differentiating between vocalizing my struggles and falling into a victim mentality.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A21: What are some therapeutic outlets that you have found when memories or feelings from the past come to your mind?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grace</b>: “Developing a relationship with a higher power has been my saving grace. It reminds me daily that I am not alone, no matter the circumstances. I also enjoy practicing yoga and cultivating rich and meaningful relationships with my friends and family.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A21: What would you want another survivor of human trafficking to know?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grace</b>: “You will make it through to the other side of all this. You’ll no longer look in the mirror and only be able to see the things you’ve done—you’ll be able to carry your head high again.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A21: Tell us what you can about life now? What are you doing and what are your dreams and goals for the future?</span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grace</b>: “Life now is a fairytale come true compared to what it was. I never thought I had any reputable skills to offer the world. But after recovery I was able to go back to school, develop my career, and form meaninful relationships. I’ve learned how to forgive myself, which was the biggest thing for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the future I want to be able to share my story with no inhibitions. I find the greatest joy is sharing my struggle and hopes with other women who need support. You are never alone.”</span><br />

Usually, I post on Wednesday's, but I participated in Stephanie from <a href="http://www.wifemommyme.com/">Wife Mommy Me</a>'s holiday ornament exchange, and we are all sharing what we received today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Liz from <a href="http://www.ellieandaddie.com/">Ellie and Addie</a> was my partner for the exchange. She so graciously gifted me two ornaments that I love so much. And, to top it off, she sent some candy as well which I really enjoyed. 😉 </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I mentioned that I liked pink and green, and <a href="http://www.ellieandaddie.com/">Liz</a> totally nailed it with this sparkly reindeer. I love glitter, so this ornament is perfect! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also told <a href="http://www.ellieandaddie.com/">Liz</a> my monogram, and she gave me this adorable monogrammed snowflake that I believe her husband made {correct me if I'm wrong}. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love each of these! They are so cute! Thank you so much, <a href="http://www.ellieandaddie.com/">Liz</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, you may be thinking, "Why should I donate to <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember</a>?". You should donate to <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember</a>....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1| …because an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, 80% of which are women and half are children.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">2| …because the average teen enters the sex trade in the US in 12-14 years old.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">3| …because 83% of victims in confirmed trafficking incidents were identified as US citizens.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">4| …because many victims of trafficking are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children. Haven’t they already been through enough?!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">5| …because there are more slaves alive today than at any other point in history.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">6| …because every 30 seconds someone is trafficked, and less than 2% of those who are trapped in slavery are ever rescued. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">7| …because last year, instances of human trafficking were reported in all 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Those seven reasons {there are so many more, though} are why you should donate to Dressember. The money that you give goes to perform rescue operations to free those enslaved. They are also put into counseling programs and programs that get them back on their feet and into a job. You don't have to give much; it all adds up. If we all do a small part, and work together, we can change the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Today, I am sharing with y'all a gift guide full of gifts that are ethical and fair trade. I chose to feature only gifts that are ethical because I am learning {mainly from <a href="http://www.stillbeingmolly.com/podcast/">Molly's Business with Purpose podcast</a>} just how awfully treated and underpaid many workers are. Also, some of these companies employ women that are coming out of slavery which goes along with <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each item is made with care, most of them handmade, and they are pretty affordable as well. They are perfect for any lady!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One thing that I love about my blog and blogging community is the fact that I feel comfortable being honest and vulnerable with you guys. And If I am being honest, Dressember this time around has been pretty difficult. We are literally 5 days in, and I have already had some trouble with my outfits. Last year, it was fairly warm in December, even for South Carolina, so it wasn't too difficult to style a dress. It was was in the mid to high 70's on Christmas Day. But, this year, it has been a bit colder, and I don't think I was prepared.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All that being said, I am willing to spend a few more minutes getting dressed in the morning and feeling a bit cold if it means that women and children will be freed from their bondage. To me, that is a small sacrifice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amazingly, Dressember has already raised close to $300,000 as of Saturday afternoon. This is enough to fund around 40 rescue missions! Thank you so much to all who have donated! If you haven't already, I encourage you to prayerfully consider giving to free those who are in slavery.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to post this particular outfit with this dress because I purchased it from <a href="http://elegantees.com/">Elegantees</a>. <a href="http://elegantees.com/">Elegantees</a> is a company that sells fair trade clothing made by women who would previously be jobless. This year, <a href="http://elegantees.com/">Elegantees</a> partnered with the <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember</a> Foundation to create 3 <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/dressember-my-blogiversary-grace-lace.html">Dressember</a> dresses. This dress is not one of them, but they have a <a href="http://elegantees.com/search?type=product&q=dressember">wrap dress</a>, a <a href="http://elegantees.com/search?type=product&q=dressember">maxi dress</a>, and a <a href="http://elegantees.com/search?type=product&q=dressember">swing dress</a> that each come in two colors. They are all so beautiful and I love the fact that they are handmade!</span></div>

Since <a href="http://www.dressember.org/">Dressember</a> is three days away, I decided that I would talk about <a href="http://www.dressember.org/">Dressember</a> and what it is about.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last year, for the first time, I did something totally different with my December. I decided to join the hundreds of women all over the world who wear dresses for the whole month of December to advocate for the millions of women and children who are sold all over the world for their bodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The whole point of wearing dresses is to get people talking. They will notice that all you're wearing during one of the coldest months of the year is dresses, and it will spark a conversation. Then you will be able to educate them on human trafficking and maybe they will feel moved to donate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, 80% of which are female and half are children. Human trafficking is the third largest international crime industry. It generates a profit of $32 billion every year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Participating in <a href="http://www.dressember.org/">Dressember</a> last year was so great! Not only was it rewarding, but I was able to raise money for a cause that I care about while participating in a challenge that stretched my style to new limits.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was able to raise a good amount last year, but I wanted to raise more! Ada from <a href="http://eleganceandmommyhood.blogspot.com/">Elegance and Mommyhood</a> has agreed to work alongside me {thanks, <a href="http://eleganceandmommyhood.blogspot.com/">Ada</a>!}. Today, I am asking you, yes you, to join us. Join us in advocating for those who have no voice. I know that if we, as a team, work together I know that we can raise SO MUCH! We can change so many lives for the good!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The team that I have put together right now is called <a href="https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/trulyfree">Truly Free</a> and consists of myself and <a href="http://eleganceandmommyhood.blogspot.com/">Ada</a>. We would be glad for you to join as well!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How can you help? You can do three things:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. You can take the challenge! All you must do is wear dresses for the whole month of December. And talk about it. Also, pants are okay if they are required by your job, you're working out, or you're cleaning or sleeping. Wear a dress when you get to choose what to wear. Wearing pants under dresses is acceptable as well, and super cute! Those that live in very cold climates have the greatest impact, so if you do live in a place with a frigid winter climate, don't count yourself out. It's super easy to layer!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Spread the word! Talk to everyone you know and educate them. Also, when speaking to them, share <a href="https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/trulyfree">this page</a> so that they will have a place to donate to.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. You can donate! All I ask is that you prayerfully consider how much to donate and if you feel led to give, go <a href="https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/trulyfree">here</a>. And thank you!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The trick to looking your best while still being comfortable after so much food is to wear stretchy knits or layers that cover up your food baby. I also think that tunics work great as well. Wearing colors that are festive and match the season is one of my favorite things to do. I have not decided what I am going to wear for Thanksgiving this year yet, but I know it will include something super stretchy! 😉</span><br />

I mentioned <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/11/break-time.html">here</a> that I was going on a blogging break. However, I am still going to publish my link up posts because I love you guys! Also, don't worry; this break will not last long at all! Just a week or two.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wore this outfit a few weeks ago and it was still too hot outside to wear it, but I just wanted to wear fall clothes, so I did anyway. ;) And, I took these photos at one of my favorite local parks. There is just something about secluded parks during fall, don't you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">During the summer, I picked up this vest at my local Clothes Mentor for under $4! When I saw it, I knew I had to purchase it. I had been wanting a vest for a while and at under $4, I couldn't pass it up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was fairly easy to style it because it is neutral which makes it super versatile. Pink and navy is one of my favorite color combos, so it was a no-brainer for me to pair this vest with this top. By adding my favorite flats, I completed the look.</span><br />

On Monday, I mentioned that I have been suffering from writer's block which is one of the reasons when it has been a bit quiet around here. Also, busyness. Always busyness. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So many people gave some super great tips for beating writer's block. Thanks, y'all! <a href="http://www.shealennon.com/">Shea</a> mentioned that taking a break would be beneficial. Thank you for your input! I am actually going to take a break from this blog. I am still going to comment on you guys's blogs and get caught up on commenting back on my own posts. And, of course, engage on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mybowsandclothes/">Instagram</a> and other social medias. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want this blog to be more about y'all and less about me. I feel like it's ALL about me. I want y'all to benefit from this blog too. I mean, shouldn't it be about y'all? After all, you guy's are the ones that read it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am stepping away for a bit to realize and reevaluate just how I want to move forward. I am anticipating this hiatus to last only about 1-3 weeks. Probably closer to about 1 and a half weeks. Also, I might hop in a coupe of times throughout my break.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to all my readers and supporters! I am hoping to be back soon!</span><br />

I completely forgot that Currently was this Wednesday, so I am just going to do it today! As always, I am linking up with Anne from <a href="http://www.anneinresidence.com/">In Residence</a> and her lovely co-host this month, Catherine from <a href="http://ashortblonde.com/">A Short Blonde</a>. Here is what I have been currently discovering, celebrating, starting, wearing, and googling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">DISCOVERING</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">that I have major writer's block. I am not a writer by nature, however, I do love writing down my thoughts here on the blog. I have been a bit busy, which has contributed, but it is not the only thing. Does anyone have any tips for beating writer's block?</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">CELEBRATING</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">fall and Thanksgiving! If you don't already know, I LOVE FALL. I just can't get enough of the beauty, cooler weather, and food. Speaking of food, I feel like everyone just skips over Thanksgiving. Once Halloween is over, Christmas everything comes out. But, it's still fall, and we still have Thanksgiving. Sorry for the rant, y'all. Thanksgiving is just one of my favorite holiday's.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">STARTING</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">to finish redecorating my bedroom. I mentioned <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/10/high-five-for-friday-paint-prints.html">here</a> that I painted my room, but I still need to complete the other things like decor, bedding, etc. I got some adorable prints that I am thinking about putting on my wall. I love them, I just can't decide where to put them yet! Also, you can use the code SARAH40 from now until November 12 to get 40% off your order from the amazing shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/madewithsomeheart">Made With Some Heart</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The other day, Erica from <a href="http://pumpsandpushups.com/what-i-bought-at-the-loft-sale-link-up/">Pumps and Push Ups</a> shared a couple of outfits made from what she purchased at a LOFT sale. I was so inspired by the simple but gorgeous look of <a href="http://pumpsandpushups.com/what-i-bought-at-the-loft-sale-link-up/">her first outfit</a>, and I decided to recreate it!</span><br />

When you get kind of tired of your closet, surf Pinterest and other great blogs to find new ways to wear your existing clothes.

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">PUFFER VESTS</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I just recently got on the puffer vest train and let me tell you, I am not getting off anytime soon. Puffer vests add that needed layer that gives each outfit a unique flair without making you too hot. My first puffer vest is navy and quilted. I think that I like quilted vests best, but let's be real, y'all: all vests are great!</span><br />

Luckily, most of the busyness was fun including the SC State Fair, a For King & Country concert, a fall festival, and lots of time with friends and family. </span><br />

Today's post kind of goes with <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/10/on-grace-and-perfection.html">last Wednesday's post</a>. Let's get to it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/10/on-grace-and-perfection.html">Last Wednesday</a>, I talked about struggling with perfection. So many people here on the blog and a few of my friends mentioned that they struggle with this as well. "This" meaning feeling like you have to be everything to everybody and do everything perfectly, never making a mistake. Since so many people are dealing with this as well, I thought that I would talk a little more about it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In my Sunday School class on Sunday, as I was pouring out my thoughts and being vulnerable (<a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/01/one-word.html">a big thing for me to do</a>), I mentioned the analogy that I feel as if I were running as hard as I can, and even if I try harder and get faster, the finish line keeps gong further and further away. My classmates completely agreed and I believe that that analogy was from the Holy Spirit and that I was supposed to share it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tagging off that analogy, if we keep running and running and running, chasing perfection, we are bound to get tired. We can do nothing well on our own strength and soon, that feeble strength runs out. So what do we do to replenish it? If your life is like mine, there is not much time to <i>not </i>run. I have to keep running because I feel like I don't have time to stop. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Going back to that other question: how do we gain more strength. The answer to this question is that you must allow yourself to spend some time resting and just being in God's presence. If your like me, you love the concept of just being because you feel like all you do is do, do, do all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When we become exhausted by the <a href="http://mybowsandclothes.blogspot.com/2016/10/on-grace-and-perfection.html">perfect</a> standard that we place on ourselves, Jesus calls us to rest. To just be with Him. He allows us to just sit in His presence not doing anything but resting in Him and focusing on who He is. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And the best part, we don't have to get ourselves together before we go to Him. We don't have to put up a facade. We can just come and place all of our fears, worries, joys, pains, praises at His loving feet. He allows us to just be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And even if you feel like you don't have time to just be, put down whatever you're doing, and do it anyway. Jesus will take care of your lack of time when you rest at His feet. You will be so much better for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Something that I have been doing lately is asking God to remind me to be patient with myself and to remember that I don't have to save the world because He already did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading all my rambles! I hope this was of encouragement to you!</span><br />
