I love this top I got from Marshall's! It's the perfect shirt for these 105 degree days here in Texas. Blue and white is the perfect combo. It was nice today getting dressed up and putting make up on. This summer has been wonderful with getting to lounge all day every day (which is why I have had very few outfit posts) but it was nice to have a switch up!

Lately, I have noticed fear and doubt creeping up in my life. It's amazing how certain circumstances draw more insecurity to your life than others. Which in turn makes you feel weak and somewhat like a failure. When I fear (which is at least 6000 times a day) I suddenly put myself down for not having enough faith. I believe the Lord does not look down on us for fearing for worrying: we do. He just wants us to bring Him our fear immediately; as soon as we begin to feel that sense of dread and panic rising up in our heart and mind.

The song that has continued to play in my mind is I Will Exalt You by Hillsong. In the song it says, "Because you're with me, I will not fear." Every morning I begin my day with this song and I continue to say it to myself throughout the day. When you are constantly reminded of His presence and His love for you, it's hard to continue to fear...

love,
