Standing Tall in the Storm & Dancing in the Rain

Hello My Loviesss,

Happy Eid-Mubarak. I have been so happy since friday and i am sure you know why; the much needed break has been the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread :-p. I have been working,working and working, wondering when i'll get some time out just to catch my breath and thankfully, Eid-Mubarak made it happen.

So I woke up about 5am today -can you imagine on a holiday; i guess my body is just used to it. As i lay in bed listening to the sound of rain, my mind sort of drifted to the popular saying 'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain'.

There are so many interpretations given to this saying:
- Not letting bad stuff get you down
- Not allowing anything deter you from reaching your full potentials
- Learning to enjoy the journey and having a positive attitude in the stormy seasons
- Not wasting time and waiting around for the perfect time to start living your life.
- Learning to adapt to change no matter what it is.
and the list goes on.

For me, as i become more mature, i am learning to embrace life and the storms that come with it. I often strike people as a very strong, 'tough times don't last but tough people do' kind of girl...bleh. If only you all know how easily i cry...lol. Every day i am thankful for the bible that daily reminds me about God being with me no matter how bad it gets.
I am learning daily to stand tall in the inevitable storms that life brings, learning also to sing and dance no matter what the weather brings because i am the child of the Most High.
So this isn't really a style post because i didn't plan to dress up for a blog post. But you know how i am, i took one look at myself and said errm this should be blog worthy i think...lol.

 I paired one of my favorite jumpsuits in jersey animal print with a black shrug because it was a bit cold, a pair of gold slippers and a tan bag. Very comfortable look for running errands or just having a laid back day.
 This jumpsuit can also be dressed up by taking off the shrug, pairing it with nice heels, a lovely belt and gorgeous clutch and you are all glammed up. 
 
 Maybe i was trying to suck belle here, i don't know...lol.
Have a fabulous break and week ahead my lovies, thank you for always reading  and remember to:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6.

xoxo

  4. Bestooooooooooooooooo!!! Quite an age! reading your post now made me feel happy. Even in the midst of it all, God has always been our corner stone, often time it feels hard to keep trusting and believing, he has proven times without number he'll never leave nor forsake us. Thanks for those words of encouragement at all times, hopefully, you'll talk to Besto!!!!
