Church Girl Chic… Sunday's Best!

It’s been over a week since I last posted but I was on vacation and although my body was back my mind wasn’t. Like the saying goes… you ALWAYS need a vacation from vacation. I still haven’t gotten the opportunity to do my nails so this will not be my typical “Manicure Monday” blog post but I do plan on doing my nails and getting the link up either later this evening or tomorrow. So, if you have your mani ready to show-off the linky will be up soon. J

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as I did. I will be doing a full recap of my weekend on a later post as my daughter had a costume shindig that turned out beyond amazing and I’m sure you may have saw a few pics on Instagram but I also wanted to blog about it as well.

On yesterday… I went to Church per usual on Sunday but I wanted to wear my “skater skirt” as I’ve had it for months now and the weather was perfect so I decided why not pair it with some tights and wear it to church???!!! Never in a million years would I have worn this to church back in the day and I’m sure some elder somewhere is probably eyeing me for wearing a skater skirt to church.

~ Please Don’t Judge Me... but if you must! ~

NOTE TO YOU: You can be saved, sanctified, fill with the Holy Ghost, and STILL be FLY!!!! Don’t allow the enemy to define your worth by the clothes you wear, the job you have, and the people you associate yourself with…. Everyone is equally valuable in God eyes.

~Until Next Time

Hello, October... Talk Tuesday + OOTD!

It’s just now beginning to feel like FALL to me… And, as Seasons change so do the things around us such as the weather, the trees, the lawn, and even the time. Yes, the time will soon change and before you know it we will be setting our clocks back an hour and it will be getting dark sooner than later.. Then Thanksgiving & Christmas will be HERE!

 It’s the 1^st day of October and so much is going on in NEWS!!!! 1^st off the Government Shut-Down. As much as I want to go deep on this issue I will remain silent… Shhhh… as I try not to debate politics on the blog! I never know WHO may be peeping on my post. Just know I’ll keep it on the hush and my thoughts will remain the Government can shut down but GOD NEVER shuts down or shut you out.

Don’t put all your trust and faith in the Government… GOD is our source.

But what I will say is: It amazes me that this same Government wanted to take GOD out of schools but use GOD name as a convenience such as: “In GOD we TRUST” is on our money; Our Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag says: “One Nation Under God” and the National Anthem says: “In God is our Trust”

Stay encouraged my friends… Things may be BAD right now but it will get BETTER!!!! This too shall pass.

Below I have provided further links that may be able to assist you If you are STILL not sure ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS before signing up for ANYTHING!

On a much more lighter note: I wanted to welcome FALL… with an OOTD!

NOTE TO YOU: Psssst… I secretly need to know if the Government Shut Down will take care of Student Loans & IRS tax payments… Ok, ok… but for real let me go and read up on that!

The 4-1-1... #LAShoesday

Ok, so here’s the 4-1-1 (info, update, the bizness)

I leave for Bahamas in the morning & guess what???!!! I STILL haven’t packed… I have got to be the BIGGEST procrastinator known to man-kind! But don’t get it twisted ~ I do get ish done. It’s just something about doing things under pressure. It gives me an adrenaline rush! I know that might sound KRAZY but I get a major RUSH by RUSHING! ~shrugs

Imma work on my time management ~ PINKY PROMISE!

That was one of my vision board objectives. Speaking of vision board so many things are starting to come to pass that I’m VERY excited about life and what God is doing. I will keep y’all posted on all the exciting news in due time.

Lastly, if you follow me on Facebook/Instagram then you know that I do what I call #ShoesdayTuesday I initially started this as a challenge for myself to make sure that I wear all my shoes in my closet. But seems like I wasn’t the only one in the virtual world with the same idea so I wanted to know if any of my readers would like to join me?

~ Above pic is from last Tuesday & Bottom pic is from yesterday ~

 It’s pretty simple… Every Tuesday just take a picture of the shoes you are wearing and upload via Instagram then tag me on your Instagram page with the hashtag #LAShoesday - I had to make my own hashtag as there are so many shoes that are loaded using the other hash tag. Also, I wanted to have something that would be easy for anyone that wanted to participate. If you plan on taking part in #LAShoesday please don’t forget to tag me in your KICKS!!!! I will be doing Give-a-ways for some lucky participates so let me know if you are in & I will be looking forward to seeing your shoes on Tuesdays!!!!  

This was look from yesterday ~ April Showers bring May Flowers!!!!

Happy May y’all… praying for warmer weather

NOTE TO YOU: Thank y’all for sticking with me while I’ve been out of the blogging loop; I hope to get my computer fixed & get my blogging MOJO back REAL SOON! J

 

~Until Next Time

Peace, Love, Fashion & Vacation

Wordless Wednesday... OOTD!

This post is supposed to be wordless… so I will keep it sweet & simple!

I wore this to Church Sunday before last and the sermon was about how God accepts us the way that we are; too bad MAN is not like GOD!!!!  

Everybody sees you when you are winning! But ONLY God saw you when you was wandering! ~Apostle Harrison

After church I headed to Brunch with fam & friends

I had to capture the pic of my Bestie and my childhood bestie whom I was best friends with when I was in Kindergarten… I haven’t seen her in years but I’ll have to share that story another time! J

Sister/Friend ~ Mari of Beyond Greatness & My K-5 Bestie Marla

   

NOTE TO YOU: Friendship needs no words…

Kingdom Chic… OOTD!

As mention I am back with a follow-up post. I won’t and can’t complain but as my heart would have it I was lead to use this platform to share: If you are going through just remember the battle is not yours it’s the LORD!  

This thing called: LIFE can either make you or destroy you but I was BUILT FOR THIS. I am NOT easily broken and I’m a BORN SURVIVOR!!!!

I understand it takes all types of people to make up the world but just because they are in the world don’t mean that they have to be a part of your world!

There are folks in the world that are quick to judge without even knowing the reason behind a person action, some folks will try and hold your past against you, then there are folks who will try and destroy your character, folks who will hide behind others instead of facing the truth, and then you have certain folks who will forget what you did for them and build their whole foundation on having a motive and won’t support you or anyone else to save their life!

Folks gone talk no matter if you are doing good or bad so whatever you do just be the BEST you that you can be!!!! It don’t matter what MAN/WOMAN says: What matters is what GOD says!!!!  There are folks who have said and done things and even threw a few rocks and stones yet I smile because I know that they didn’t give me this JOY and they can’t take it away. When you get knocked down you don't have to stay down... GET BACK UP!!!!!   

One thing about it… If God has destined you for a position there is NO DEMON IN HELL that can STOP it from happening!!!! Many people are seriously struggling with the ENEMY rather it is on their JOB, MARRIAGE, RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIPS, FINANCES, FAMILY and/or CHILDREN but I tell you to continue to STAND and continue to fight because it’s NOT over until GOD says it’s over.

Even on your worst day someone has it worse than you do so SALUTE & KEEP SMILING!!!!

All HELL broke loose and was left in 2012… It’s a New Year, New Week, New Day and in 2013 there is no room for the ENEMY or association with the ENEMY!!!!

DIRT may be thrown your way but as long as GOD is with you no one can be against you.  No one can walk your walk but you… your steps are already ordered!

What I Wore:

Black Tee & Camo Pants ~ Bonnie's Boutique

Black Vest ~ Gifted

Spike Boots ~ Garb Shoetique

Accessories ~ LA Lynn's

NOTE TO YOU: I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted my blog to go in but if you personally know me or have been following my blog for a while then you already know I’m “Kingdom Chic”. I have a love for fashion but “in love” with faith so I’m getting my blogging mojo back slowly but surely… I will continue to post Manicure Monday, Wordless Wednesday, Thrifted Finds, My Social Side, and a few OOTD but most importantly I want my readers to leave my blog feeling inspired and empowered so with that being said: My posts will be heart driven; whatever is on my heart, in my spirit, and what moves me to write shall be written in 2013…

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROPSPER!!!!  

~Until Next Time

I am Thankful...

I’m sure you all are READY to get yo’ eat on if you haven’t already started… lol but before you chow down let me just tell you to remember the REASON for SEASON of Thanksgiving… some folks take it for granted and take the day to FEAST which is fine but let’s not forget that tomorrow is not promise to us.

I try to say a word of thanks every day not just during the holidays! So I decided to start a journal and write what I’m thankful for & just know when I started writing this list it was wayyyy to long… this blog in itself does NOT have enough room for me to begin to explain what I am Thankful for.

So, I narrowed my list down to 10 things that I am Thankful for:

·         Life ~ It’s a blessing to be among the living!

·         Faith ~ My Foundation

·         Family ~ My ROCK… they keep me grounded  

·         Friends ~ they allow me to act a fool and still LOVE me for me

·         Finances ~ I’m not RICH but the bills are paid

·         Food ~ My daily bread

·         LA Lynn’s ~ My motivation: Who knew that I would have as much Love & Support as I do

·         Health ~ Although, I don’t eat right… I’m breathing & got a clean board of good HEALTH!

·         Housing ~ It may NOT be a mansion but we have a roof over our head & it’s ours

·         God ~ The Highest of everything, my possibility as without GOD I am absolutely NOTHING!

Last but NOT least… I’m thankful for YOU!!!! 

As a token of my thankfulness for all the Love & support I am giving (1) one lucky person a FREE Bracelet from my LA Faith Collection. All you have to do is get your friends to LIKE my Facebook Page and the person that refer the most friends WIN!!!! ♥

Giveaway Ends: Thanksgiving Night at Midnight!

I usually leave a Note for You… Today I will leave you with this QUOTE:  

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

If you concentrate on what you don't have,
you will never, ever have enough."

~Oprah Winfrey ~

Peace, Love, & Fashion Thankfulness

It’s My Anniversary!!!!

Today I am celebrating 4 years of Marital Bliss and I’m absolutely LOVING every single minute of it!!!!

*Picture Heavy*

I’m sure if you follow me on the other social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram then you already know that today is my Wedding Anniversary and how I am filled with so much JOY!!!!

I wouldn’t change anything about my life… sometimes I wish we had met sooner but I know that GOD ad a plan for both of us and we will enjoy the present and years to come.

We self claimed ourselves as The Dream Team... We make MARRIAGE WORK!

No matter what obstacles we are faced with we will handle it with:

LOVE & LAUGHTER!

I know this pic is blurry but we are DIED HARD LAKERS FANS!!!!!

I hear a some folks complain about their Mother-N-Law as for me I couldn't have asked for a better one! She's a sweetheart and besides she raised a GOOD MAN!



Us w/ his Mom at her 70th Birthday Celebration

In case you missed my ramblings on twitter here are a few of my tweets from earlier today: 

Marriage is more than just a RING!!!!

Marriage is a blessing and I REFUSE to be mute about my HAPPINESS!!!!

I can’t promise you no fairytales but there is a such thing as being HAPPILY MARRIED!!!!

If you getting your LOVE & Relationships tips from Reality TV #SATDOWN

The enemy don’t want to see you and your spouse happy… You betta PRAY UP before you LAY UP!!!!

It feels good to LOVE and to be LOVED!!!!

If you don’t want to hear about my JOY then look the other way!

Some folks talk more on social media than they do to their spouse!!!!!

There may be smoke but we won’t burn… Our marriage is FIRE PROOF!!!!

Don’t let society fool you… U can be MARRIED & HAPPY! (I’m a living witness)

 

 



I can honestly say that I carry the same smile today that I had over 4 years ago! When I met him he promised to always treat me like a Queen and I can honestly say my King has NOT let me down.

 

 Today is a celebration of LOVE, LAUGHTER, and LIFE!!!!  

If I had it to do all over again I would still say: I DO!!!!
I married MY BESTFRIEND!

I thank GOD for blessing me and I'm forever grateful to have married my best friend... I am his rib!
