How to be successful

This message made me pretty mad with God. I've been realllllly bad about posting mostly because I've been going through a very difficult period in my life. God is growing and challenging my faith, which is NEVER an easy process. I found myself in a situation which, to be honest I want nothing more than to walk away from. Unfortunately, God hasn't given me the green light and in the message that morning point 1 literally was stay in that place...well my flesh was up.set! Oh the funnier part was pt 2 was sow into the barren place (which further spoke to the situation I was asking God to let me leave) clearly by the time the benediction was given I wanted to run home and sulk. I've since made peace and accepted the fact that I am not going to get my way in this situation and have decided to do things God's way. The reality of it all is sometimes it like that, God wants us to do something that has nothing to do with OUR plans and we kick, scream, pout and rail about it but at the end of the day if we're to really be obedient we have to put self aside and fall in line with His plans trusting that He knows best.
Now on to the fashion! It was south florida's version of cold, translation: cool I'm the am 68 by noon. I refused to bundle up and find myself sweating like a Bedouin by noon so I opted for a dress (yes it was a touch short) and over the knee boots. Without the boots I would not have worn the dress to church bc it would have shown too much leg but the boots covered me just shy of an inch or so of the hem. The boots are so high that they go with very few skirts or dresses because the hem falls below the tops of them, so these two together were a perfect combo!
