Planes, trains and automobiles!

Yaaaay! God is really awesome! This picture was taken less than 24hrs after I'd just gotten off the plane from London. I'd just spent the last week in England, Manchester and London, enjoying the Olympics, English culture, history and ramen...because the food there is gross.
Now I'll be the first to admit getting to church was a struggle. Changes in time zone and 12 hours in the air is no joke...but I felt that we press our way through to so many other places and for so many other reasons, how could my walk with Christ come any lower on the list? So I went and was it worth it? Yes! And did I go home and sleep the rest of the afternoon and evening? Oh yes!!
On to the fashion...
I kept it remarkably simple: black pants with a hot pink flutter crepe blouse. I was supposed to get my hair done two hours after arriving back in the states but as I took my phone off of airplane mode for the first time in 8 days I was greeted by a voicemail informing me that the young lady who does my hair would be coming to town the FOLLOWING week. Well I did what any tired fashionable naturalista would do...reached in my stash of scarves and tied my hair up.

Ministry matters

As the director and a member of the dance ministry I minister regularly in dance at church. This Sunday was women's Sunday and the minister asked my god sister and me to minister in dance and mime to a specific song. Marvin Sapp's testimony. While I felt that this was a good mime song I wasn't entirely convinced this was a dance song. However, ministry isn't always about what WE think as much as what the holy spirit wants. The reality of it all goes further than ministry though because much of our Christian walk isn't necessarily about what we want as much as how God desires to use and whether we're ready to be used.

On to the fashion:
5th Sunday means women's Sunday at my church and as a member of the choir I am required to wear women's ministry purple and/or pink. Keeping with the casual summer theme the choir has been doing I paired a knit sundress with a cardigan and platform sandals and called it a day : )
