Chambray Shirt + Jeans Casual Outfit

Outfit details HERE

It's only Tuesday - and I am ready for the weekend already!  Anyone else with me?

I was so excited to get my clothing samples back yesterday. But when I opened up the package, I was so bummed to find problems. The instructions that I thought were clearly indicated were not done.  I feel like this is an up hill battle - one that I have really begun to wonder why I am doing this.  I know we learn through everything - and I have learned a lot, but I am so ready to have something to sell.  I am becoming discouraged - and wondering if this will ever happen.

To find some encouragement, I pulled this from a favorite author and speaker of mine...

"Don’t look to the world to form your hopes, dreams, and expectations, because even if you get them, they won’t be fulfilling. Look to God, Who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond anything you could possibly imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Expect Him to do great things in your life, not because you deserve it, but because He is good!

Power Thought: I am expecting God to do amazingly good things in my life."
