The Substance of Faith

Hey Loves! Its been a hectic week so far. I hope you enjoyed the Kale Taco recipe from last week. It has been such a busy time and so many great and unexpected opportunities have been presenting themselves to me. It made me ponder the concept of being prepared when an opportunity comes. I have come to the realization that the best protocol is not to get ready, but to STAY READY.
 You never know when all the seeds you planted will begin to grow. Sometimes a seed can lie dormant for a very long time and then there is a SUDDENLY moment. 

Speaking of things lying dormant, many of you follow me on my other social media platforms and were following my Food Fashion and Flow Facebook page and then I became so focused on my other social media platforms that I neglected the page and before I knew it three years had gone by without one single Facebook page update and then I decided this year to start posting on the page again. When I went there to update, I was astounded at the number of messages from people hungry to see content on the page. Please take a moment to like my page here and then you will be able to see inspirational content every day. 

When you plant a seed, you have to water it and make sure it gets some sunlight and then you trust and believe that what you are watering will grow even though you can't see what is happening under the soil. That's what faith looks like. It is trusting what you can't see.
The word of God says: "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" - Hebrews 11:1

When life doesn't make sense. Look up and rejoice because the answers come from above. In life sometimes our faith is all we have and we have to hold onto it even if those around you don't understand.

The weather recently has been chilly, but it gives me an excuse to wear my fur jacket. I am wearing a palette neutral colors and neutral colors always look perfect.

Fur Jacket: F-21, Purse: Ivanka Trump, Dress, F-21, Boots: Diba

Unkempt messy hair and don't care. Life gets messy too, but even through messy people and circumstances. Keep the faith


Always remember that a faith walk is never easy

Keep smiling through it all and have a great day!
