True modesty during the prom season

    "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." ~1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NIV)
     I want to do some posts on modest prom dresses since prom season is around the corner. I feel that it is getting harder and harder to find modest clothes these days, but especially prom dresses! Girls it is important to remember that no matter what the event we are suppose to be a light for God and He wants us to dress modest. Guys in the same way you need to look for girls who you know will e modest and has virtue.
    Here are a couple of dresses I have picked out that I think are modest and very cute for prom:

This dress is so beautiful! I love the color and the tulle bottom! It has just enough sparkle and the straps work great with it!

  This beautiful blue one is short but not too short (one of the hardest things to find.) The top does not show too much and the sparkle is amazing! I love the one shoulder strap too!

Okay, so everything about this dress is gorgeous! The fabric, the style, all of it. You can't go wrong with this dress!

      Keep checking back here for more modest prom dress reviews. You can also find a board on my pintrest that is labeled ModestIsHottestProm. Plus I try to post at least one or two pictures to my twitter account today. I pray that all of you getting ready for prom puts God first in this very special event!

Being Happier

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." ~Isaiah 43:18-19.
Okay, so this month has been really busy. My days are pretty much scheduled around classes, but that's okay because I'm at least getting to learn. The biggest change I have seen though is that I am happier!!!
Happy is defined as delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing, and I believe that is what has happened with me. I have let go of some things that only God can control. It has taken me quite awhile to come to the realization that only God can control these things.
The main thing that I have let go of is probably worrying about boys so much. I use to feel like I had to have this amazing love story of how my husband and I had known each other our whole lives before we fell in love. Or that we were college sweethearts. Just some kind of unique story that they would think was a fairy tale. So I guess with worrying about all of that I became, oh I can't believe I'm even labeling myself as this, "boy crazy". Okay, there I said it, it's now out in the open.
If I saw a boy I thought was nice looking I would wonder "is he the one?" I prayed to God for a certain situation to work out with a guy. It was kind of like I was saying "Okay God, You can have the pen to write my love story as long as I get to pick the guy." Well I'm here to tell you that's not how wonderful Christ-centered love stories are written! Having the idea of trying to fool yourself and even God into thinking you are stepping back so He can write your love story is just going to leave you heartbroken and questioning God when He is standing there sadden by the fact that you don't want to accept His wonderful story He has penned out just for you! 
So how did I realize this was what was standing in my way of me being happy? It started sinking in on New Years Eve when I was trying to find a Bible verse to be my verse of 2014. It was like Isaiah 43:18-19 was jumping out in my face. In that moment I realized that verse was for me and I knew exactly what God was trying to tell me. He was saying "Hey, my beautiful daughter. You are my Princess and you need to sit back and let Me hand pick the Prince I want my daughter with instead of chasing frogs!"
As soon as I started looking at that verse everyday I started letting go of writing my own love story little by little. Now it is eighteen days later and I feel that I have given the pen over to God one hundred percent. I've realized I don't need this elaborate fairy tale to tell my future kids, because however my husband and I end up together will be the best fairy tale ever told anyways because God is writing it! So yeah, I've chosen to be happy and I'm happier now that I'm just holding the pen to only my fictional characters lives and not my own!

Hello There.

First of all may I say HAPPY 2014!!! I hope everyone had a safe New Years and that this year is great for you!  My New Year consisted of my best friend and I watching TV. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way though!
I haven't posted in awhile and I am sorry about that. Writers block has controlled my brain lately! But I am back now and I don't have a Bible book to write about every Saturday so my posts will probably just be on topics and life. Whatever God wants me to write about.
So first off, my second semester of college started. I have a busier schedule this year, but it has been fun so far. I'm working on Appalachian Culture, Math, Dance Appreciation, and Sociology. I also have a class with another friend of mine and a college class is how we met in 2012!! So that's pretty cool! Right now my favorite class is Dance Appreciation, but it might change as the semester goes on.
I'm still working on my book, but yet again Writers Block is making the process slower. Plus the crazy college classes don't make it easy to write! I'm thinking about trying to get some articles published in newspapers and, maybe, magazines this year and just really work harder as a writer. So prayers and encouragement are appreciated!
The last thing I really have to say is that I might be going on a mission trip in August and I am so excited about that!! I've never been on a Mission trip but I have gone to passport, once is like a training ground to do mission work and I loved that. So yeah, that's all that is going on right now and I will post again on Saturday. Thank you for all the love you guys show this blog! God bless!!
