Hey guys!

I really can't remember if I ever talked about this but in case I haven't I figured I should let you guys know, I move around. Like a lot. In the summer I'm in New York but once it starts getting cold there's no telling where I'll be. And it just so happens that where I'm at now doesn't have WiFi so that means I have to do my blogging from my phone & I don't have one of those super cool do everything phones (since I had to replace my Galaxy with a cheapo one) so while I'm here my posts won't be as pretty & I can't link them to Pinterest without pictures so if you are visiting my blog from Pinterest subscribe & my post will be sent straight to your email!

Devil You ARE Defeated

Today another family member of mine is being laid to rest because of the chains & bondage of addiction. I'm sick of this, I'm sick of the devil destroying bodies, families & lives. Devil you are no longer welcome, and you can take your disgusting diseases with you! Please don't read this thinking I'm some crazy dramatic person, I'm not. Drugs & alcohol has taken the lives of more of my family members than cancer, heart disease & any other sickness, COMBINED. Earlier this summer my cousins life was taken at the young age of 28, leaving behind a 5 year old & a young widow, He was a boy that at one point was the sweetest person you could meet, always smiling & joking. And then the devil showed up.

I have another cousin that was really like an older brother to me, sitting in a jail cell with his family ripped apart because the devil showed up.

Did they start down that path with a clear mind? Yes. But do you think for one second they started with the intention of sitting in a jail cell for years or a grave? No.

That's where the devil stepped in, he has ripped these lives apart like a tornado. I'm so mad today I don't even know how to put words together.

But the part that has made me furious is the enablers, its funny how people will see no problem with a man falling over drunk until the next day when their walking into his funeral because of it. If your not against the problem, your for it.


If your reading this and currently struggle with addiction, please I'm begging you get help. Distance yourself from the people that encourage you to do the things that are killing you (even if they're family) your life is SO important, Jesus did not die on the cross for "good" people He died for people that need Him, people with struggles and pain.

John 8:36 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

A Journey Into Modesty Part 2

Learning Modesty The Hard Way

I've been doing a lot of research into what different people think & feel modesty is, pretty much all agree that modesty goes past your fashion & the root is located in your heart.

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Matthew 23:26


How can one walk around boasting about "Oh I won't wear short skirts, I'm a Christian" but then turn around & spit in God's face with their sin? I could turn this whole series into a self righteous look how Holy I am compared to others attitude, but how wrong would I be? There's 2 reasons I would never do that

1. What good is a long skirt if my heart is full of sin?

2. I am scared to death starting this journey.

 And how crazy is that? I'm scared of dressing modestly? No, I have never been a person with great self-esteem so I tried covering that up by baring it all (Not LITERALLY) the slinkier, the tighter, the shorter, the better. I always felt plain next to people so I thought revealing more would even the odds, and let's be honest revealing clothes tend to be a heck of a lot cheaper. So yes I'm scared, scared that the next time I'm around certain people I'll feel frumpy & ugly, it's an issue I've prayed about for years and I'm praying this journey will bring healing, I'm scared to go shopping because everything tends to lean more towards bare it all than cover it up. Yesterday I tried my first dive into the modest look, I wasn't happy or sad about my outfit. I had very little time to put it together because we went to the early service at church and I'm just not a morning person haha I think a skinny belt would have brought it together a little more, also how do you feel about the length? It hit right at my knees so i felt comfortable but this is OUR journey so I'm open to suggestions.

Have any of you decided to take the first step? Let me know I'd love to hear from you!

Growing Into A Modest Lifestyle

I have a confession, I've been saved since I was 17. I've let the Lord work in every area of my life except one. I've gotten rid of worldly music, I've cut out gossip, I won't swear, I try being kind even to those I have reasons not to. But there's one area I've hidden from the Lord, my style. I made a vow about 2 years ago to not wear 2 piece bikinis after watching a video about why Christian girls shouldn't wear them, but honestly Ive let the rest of my wardrobe reveal just to much. Now I will say it's gotten a lot better, I won't wear belly shirts, I try to keep my shorts a little longer, or have excessive cleavage. But I will wear belly shirts with high-waisted shorts, my shorts aren't as long as they should be & well I don't really have cleavage to reveal. I want to change that. So I'm asking you to join in on this journey with me, I've been doing a lot of research into the modest looks. My favorite looks come from the Queens Of Modest, none other than the Duggar Girls!

I'm asking you all, join in & keep me updated on your progress. I plan on taking a whole day to go through my closets & donate the clothes I won't wear anymore to Plato's Closet, even if I only get 20 bucks it'll be worth it to know I put a foot in the right direction.


 1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;


With all that being said please keep me updated if you decide to enter this journey with me! We're stronger in numbers ladies!!

New Post Coming Soon.....

SO I had this amazing post all ready for posting, it was probably my best one yet. I had it all typed out on my phone well unfortunately I dropped my phone trying to turn off the volume while walking into church & shattered the inner screen. My screen started turning lovely shades of purple splotches until I woke up this morning & it was completely useless. So with that being said, I'm on a contract and it's not as simple as going down to buy a new one (Can we all agree the "insurance" policies stink, if I have to pay more for my deductible than I did when I bought the phone, that's not insurance. Tats a scam ladies & gents) I'm hoping once I'm able to get a new phone I can switch everything over including my notes & as soon as I'm able I'll hit you guys with a powerhouse post!!

Until then be blessed my loves

Let's talk Honeymoons shall we?

So I think it's pretty obvious that every little detail of a wedding gets talked about & analyzed to DEATH but the one little part that kinda gets pushed to the side, which in my opinion is one of the most important parts, is the Honeymoon! Sure it gets it's little share of spotlight & hey no one's going to be THAT excited about a trip their not invited to (unless you invite people on your honeymoon, and no offense honey but that's a lil weird) but I feel like because no one else wants to hear about it brides tend to put it to the back burner. But I'm here to tell you pull it to the front and turn that bad boy on full heat! It's your first trip with your new husband!!! Many of you, like myself, don't even know what it's like to wake up next to your significant other, much less wake up next to them in paradise! So ladies let's have some fun today & talk about our (your) dream vacation destination!

Snowbirds In Love

Now most of you probably pictured waking up in some little sunny slice of Heaven with nothing but a palm tree to shade your window, but not me....Now don't get me wrong I would absolutely love a tropical vacation but for some reason whenever I picture my honeymoon I picture a little romantic cabin in the snow somewhere in Colorado or even abroad. To me, there's nothing more romantic than just my husband & I in the solitude, no dirty hotels, no noisy kids and no "accidental" 6 am wake up call. I feel like a honeymoon should be about just the two of you, no other opinions should matter. So go ahead, book that dream honeymoon! As long as your budget allows it & your honey agrees there is no one else that should sway you any direction besides the one you pick. After all it's only once in a life time! Now let me hear your fantasy honeymoon, will you be sipping hot cocoa or virgin piña coladas?

(Btw, look as me getting all fancy with my watermarks & editing!)

Psalm 6

I read this Psalm for the first time last night & thought it was beautiful, a prayer when your in times of distress. Your never alone, the Lord is always there to catch your tears. This is just a reminder for anyone who may need this tonight.

I encourage you to read the whole Psalm! Its short!
Xoxo Be blessed, Stacie
