In my humble opinion, one can never go wrong with navy and grey/silver. It's a classic combination that always works. I thrifted this blouse on Black Friday for $3, and was super excited to wear it. It could go with a hundred things in my closet, but I chose the easy way out. And the favorite way out. The jeans were also thrifted recently for $3 and the necklace from a yard sale for $1. I'm pretty pleased with my seven dollar outfit!
We wore this to church on Sunday. Which by the way, was an amazing service. I think our church is on the verge of revival. And by revival, I mean people's hearts coming alive to Christ, coming awake to His call, being broken for the lost, being inspired to action, in the deepest, truest, most heart-rending way. An individual revival of our hearts, one by one, but also corporately. I'm excited to see what God does. It's one of those times it's hard to put it into words, because it's deep.
It's also not easy. It's hard. One of the hardest things you'll ever do. Allowing your heart to be broken, softened... giving up habits and things that consume your time when you know God is asking you for something different. Giving up your comfortable theology and your easy life. Opening your heart to a God who is asking you to die, die, die to yourself, die to your needs, your wants, your dreams. To make space for His. Sometimes after all that, we discover the deepest dreams we've always harbored were ones HE put there, so we get to walk them out after we gave them up.
But we don't know that right now. Right now we ask to be broken, spilled out, stripped of self, poured out in a heap of tears, repentance. And we keep asking, keep coming back, keep doing the hardest thing, because it's His kingdom we want. It's eternal life for our loved ones. And we need His heart, His words, His hope, His redemption, His kingdom coming down to earth and breaking through. Oh God, let it be so.
