Hey Loves! I hope your weekend was amazing. In my last post I mentioned that I would share with you my get out of the boat and walk on water experience. If you are familiar with biblical stories, then you know the story about Peter having to step out of the boat and walk on water. Many of us have our own moments in life when we have to step out on faith and do something that makes us have to lean on GOD because we could never do it in our own strength.
So what was my test of faith?
"Drumroll Please"
This past weekend, I presented my first Food Fashion and Flow workshop as part of a phenomenal women's conference called: NOW LIVE. I really have a heart for women, especially women who are hurting or need to be inspired and loved back to life, so I presented a workshop covering inner and outer beauty, finding your personal style and walking in your purpose. I didn't tell a lot of my friends and family about it because I was nervous, so I hope they aren't mad at me...
I provided some reference materials and an awesome gift bag for each woman
I hope they enjoyed everything as much as I enjoyed preparing it for them
They were a captive audience. They munched on my homemade brownies while listening to the presentation:-)
I gave them the words that GOD told me to speak
They listened and took notes
I included two of my recipes from the blog on my new recipe cards
I came bearing gifts
Each bag had many symbolic items inside of it and all the girly things that put a smile on our face:-)
There smiles were priceless
The look of shock when you get a gift you weren't expecting
GOD is the master of giving you a gift you didn't expect
I wanted them to feel beautiful, so this was the first item my beautiful guests looked upon
GOD wanted to tell them something
Sometimes we need a little reminder
These gorgeous postcards are courtesy of Divine Image Cosmetics. What a relevant message and the free makeup brushes and face powder were the icing on top:-) Each woman received this in her bag

The butterfly brooch presented to them represents the transformation we go through
to get to our purpose in life
I made my own biblical anointing oil for each guest
I had a lot of fun making these cute nail polish favors for each bag
Some of our lovely guests received these beautiful compacts in their bags
Others received these rich vibrant eye shadow pots
lip glosses
These cute shoe and purse key rings were in every bag. The shoe and purse are symbolic. The purse represents identity and the shoes represent walking in your purpose. I am grateful for my sponsors and Angel investors for making it possible to bless so many ladies
And what woman doesn't love some smell goods for her purse? These cute lotions and matching hand sanitizes were in each bag
I would like to tell you that I still had some critics. Yes, there were some that were not very nice to me, but the sun outweighed the shade:-)
It was a beautiful day
I gave them my heart
Your heart is a priceless gift. Have an amazing day!

"God is the master of giving you a gift you didn't expect" - love that! I can see that you put a lot of thought into your gift bags and the happiness on the ladies' faces shines through the photos. Glad you were obedient enough to step out of your comfort zone and past your nerves to sow such positive energy into these ladies' lives. Keep up the good work!
Looks like a stunning event and those red shoes blew me away!!!
