Perspective

If everyone on earth had access to nutritious food, clean water, and healthy living conditions, the world would be a drastically different place than it is now. We take these things for granted, but in reality they are luxuries. They are amazing blessings. And in addition to them, I know I for one have plenty of clothing, several different kinds of soaps, little tools made for the express purpose of cutting my nails.....


So, to those of my readers have access to all of life's necessities and many amenities as well, like I do, I just want us all to remember how blessed we are and to remember to appreciate what we have. The things we consider basic, other people may only dream of having.

I do not think it's wrong to like fashion, to buy pretty clothes and nice makeup,  etc. I think God has made all of us unique and placed us in different walks of life. Maybe so we will reach different people. There may be some of us who are called to sell everything we own and become missionaries in the streets of an impoverished city, and some of us may be called to enter the design world to reach the people at Paris Fashion Week.

A lot of what God wants us to do is black-and-white (don't use His name in vain) but some is not (this college would not be a healthy environment for me). My best advice would just be to direct you to God and take His advice for you... on everything, from how much time you put in your appearance to how much you spend on clothes... everything. And let me tell you, I do NOT have it figured out. I'm still not sure exactly how this applies to me. I just know it's the truth, and I believe it.

Let's keep all this in the forefront of our minds as we continue on this blogging journey together.

In love,
Ireland
