The One With The Stripes

This week's topic of choice: God's faithfulness. Every Thursday night for the past 3 years an amazing group of women have come together to share in the Word. Over those 3 years, God has done many, many things, and it never ceases to amaze us. The past few weeks we have seen prayer after prayer answered. This week was no exception. Normally after we conclude our discussion we draw numbers to pair off with prayer partners. This week we felt lead to stay in one group and lift each others' needs up together. It was powerful to say the least. The best part was the next day when we started seeing those prayers answered. And let us tell ya, when God answers prayers, He doesn't just answer a little bit...you better expect the floodgates to open. One of the prayers in particular God moved in such a way that He provided above and beyond what any of us had ever expected. We love seeing how God provides for His beloved children. Ephesians 3:20 says,
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." Two things stand out about this verse. The first is that the mighty power of God is at work in us...so when we pray, God us working in and through us...second when we ask, He will always do more. 
Be encouraged that God hears your prayers. Also we encourage you to find a people around you that you can trust to come together in agreement for your needs. Where two or three are gathered, God shows up!


If you are interested in learning what our hearts are when it comes to small groups/Bible studies like this one, here are some articles we wrote for Angelic Magazine back in May:

Last week, we were feeling kind of stripey :

Shan Wore:
Striped Dress: H & M      Pink Cardy: Last Chance (a.k.a. the mothership)



                         Bow Shoes: Ross (Fav's)  Bangles: Gifted

Shan doesn't mind dressing like a a 3 year old, it gives her more reasons to twirl in public :) (one of her favorite past times)








Court Wore:
Asymmetrical Stripy  Dress: Ross       Red Top:  Thrifted      Sunnies: Forgot :)
 Court looking off into the Sunset...very dramatic.

Heart Necklace: Thrifted   Purity Ring: Amazon

 

Shan likes to smile, Court...makes silly faces (they're my specialty...or more like my awkwardness)


Thanks for reading! Hope your encouraged to pray about your needs, and to find fun outfits that make ya smile.

XOXO,
C & S
