I shared on my instagram that I’ve had a bad cold since last Wednesday. One that made me seriously slow down. In hindsight, it always seems ironic that the need to slow down often comes right when I’m on the brink of overdoing it. In the past few years, I have seriously removed and rearranged priorities so I genuinely have less on my plate and more space for margin. But old habits die hard, and my natural inclination will always be to constantly move from one task to the other. So while I’m not thrilled that I’ve been super sick the past week, I am grateful for the rest and reflection (and coloring!) it’s caused me to have. Right now, I have to continually remind myself to slow down, but maybe one day it’ll come easier to me.
I’m reading a book by Dallas Willard called The Great Omission (which is disrupting me in a good way) and I was listening to a sermon by John Mark Comer on Sunday where he referenced Willard’s quote:
“Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry in your life.”
And I was just like wow. Yep. Pretty much. The key here is the few words “in our day” — Willard isn’t saying hurry has always been the great enemy but for our overstimulated, overcommitted cultural moment, it is. The phones, the jobs, the friends, the instagram, this blog. It’s all taking up your time. It’s not all inherently bad, but everything has its place. And I’m so guilty of choosing those things over spending time with God. So I’m working on that.
IDK when I became a fashion blogger, but here we are. I recently discovered fashion youtubers (particularly Dearly Bethany) who have inspired me to ~find my style~ LOL. So I’ll be sharing more of that soon. Honestly the goal is to find the least amount of clothing possible to make the most amount of outfits. Everlane has piqued my interest. Lots of solid colors, throw in some stripes and a few colored pants and we’ll be good. Like I want to have 5 pairs of high quality shoes so I never have to buy shoes again. Ya know?
Before Josh and I got married, a man from our church gave us some advice (and we were getting a lot of it at the time but this stuck out!). He told us to ask each other each morning, “How can I bless you today?” It takes some vulnerability to ask that, but I’ve found it really helpful in reminding us to put each other’s needs first.
