How We Feelin’?

I’m feelin’ like this song and this song on repeat.

I’m feelin’ like short boots and a short dress.

I’m feelin’ like the weekend better get here soon.

I’m feelin’ like eating 1/3 of a loaf of banana bread for breakfast is totally legit.

I’m feelin’ like somehow this blend of the end of a bunch of bags of different coffees made the best iced coffee ever.

I’m feelin’ like these words from a friend are so important to my heart lately:

Jesus + Nothing = ENOUGH

Amen, right?

And I’m feelin’ excited to announce the winner of the KIND giveaway (drumroll please):

Amy Wetzel! Amy, please email me! (goodgirlstyleblog at gmail dot com). Woot!

Go-Getter

Some days, you have to get up, get dressed, and go make something happen.

Or, at the very least, get a cup of coffee in a hot pink cup that really makes you smile.

And by “get dressed” I mean…borrow clothes from my mom. Let’s not discuss how much I want to “permanently borrow” this gingham shirt of hers.

I have to say, I had a really great day while wearing this outfit, and while I didn’t necessarily “go get” anything super awesome today, at least I tried. Points, right?

Textures

This outfit is jam-packed with texture. A metal necklace, a silk shirt, a cotton scarf, a tweed jacket, corduroys, and suede wedges.

I’ve been thinking today how God sometimes takes things from us for a season.

Our God who gives and takes.

Do you know what I mean?

Sometimes God says, “Here, you know what? We’re going to take this thing and put it on the shelf for a bit. Let’s focus on something else for a little while.”

This feels so scary. It feels very unsettling.

But the cool thing is, our God is a detail-oriented God.

And oftentimes, He takes things we thought got shelved, and He works them back into our lives in the coolest ways.

You know, He works them together like mixing different textures. It may sound silly, but its true…He puts together our lives with the finesse of a God who cares about the details. A God who cares about the beautiful big picture.

Oh I just love that.
