Resurrection of Christ

The resurrection of Christ is not a myth. It is the factual pivot-point of history. ~Bill Crowder

Key to Success

Doing nothing is still doing something and it's not a good choice. The choice to succeed or fail is yours. The doers always prevail. ~Dr. Danny Diaz
(James 1:22)

Seek Peace

Lord, help me not to squabble and cause friction with others about unimportant matters. May I instead find rest in Your love and wisdom, and seek peace. Amen.
~Julie Ackerman Link

Pray without Ceasing

Praying without ceasing is one of the biggest assets when making any major decision. The minute we cease to pray, we leave room for infinite possibilities, many of which have very little to do with the Will of God. When we do pray without ceasing, we ultimately discover the true heart of God on the topic and can proceed with profound confidence.
~Donnie Alexander

Mentorship is Success

Mentorship is success without the pain of experimentation.
~Dr. Mike Murdock

The Father's Hand

The next time we are tempted to take credit for the blessings we enjoy, let's pause and remember that it is the Lord who brings blessing. ~Albert Lee

Powerful Prayer

Prayer prompted by the Holy Spirit is powerful.
~Anne Cetas

Peace in Jesus

In the midst of troubles, peace can be found in Jesus.
~Joe Stowell

Spread the Gospel

When we truly know Christ we cannot keep the good news about Him to ourselves. Even in the most challenging circumstances, we want to keep on telling others about our Savior and Lord. Spread the gospel; it's contagious! ~David McCasland

Encourage One Another

Our words have the power to build up or tear down. ~Jennifer Benson Schuldt
(Ephesians 4:29)

When We Love Him

If you have made a "blunder" so big that it seems irreversible, the most important matter is whether you love Jesus. When we love Him, Jesus can turn our most serious blunders into awesome wonders. ~Julie Ackerman Link
(Lamentations 5:21)

Stuff I Want

I've been learning lots about SEO at work and for some reason now find it really funny to flout the rules on my blog. Hence ridiculously un-googlable titles! Oh the rebellion! 

Just thought I'd share some of the new stuff I've been seeing online lately and majorly lusting after... Mostly Topshop stuff! I am missing the discount but have been offered someone at work's 40% off discount card to use... Am literally too scared to get my hands on that thing for fear of obliterating my already meagre savings! So for now, I shall admire the pretty pictures from afar...

Love popping fancy collars on over tops and sweaters at the mo! This bejewelled Monki one is awesome (and also DIY-able!)

Oh good god, how I love this Ombre Fringe Jacket from Toppers... Perfect for slinging on with jeans and boots and looking intantly on-it! 

This is from the new 'Olympics inspired' Ashish collection for Topshop - Reminds me of my sports day woes...  

I'm hoping they get this gorge studded peplum top in non-Petite at Topshop! It's a dream! 

Oh how I love a chunky boot! These new Topshop boots are just like my Office ones so I thought I'd post them on here for those that liked my Office ones but couldn't get them because they were sold out. 

Army print AND leopard print? PHWOAR. 

Last but not least, this amazing cropped top by Lazy Oaf as part of their Batman collab! I put some of the lookbook pics on Company as it is eye candy to the MAX. 

SIGH! Such amazingness around at the moment... 

What are you lusting after at the mo? x

Lifey Snapshots

YAY it's Friday! 

I've been working from home today editing all my behind-the-scenes footage from the Whitney Port cover shoot for Company. It all went well and the vid will be up on Company.co.uk soon! It was rather a novelty to have a lie in and be able to sit in bed on my laptop all day (albeit working hard editing!) and get paid for it! I'm glad my daft LFW videos have given me a bit of video editing know-how!

So in the absence of an outfit photo (I wore a scruffy ensemble of leggings, an old tee and a beanie today if you must know!) - here are some snaps I've been Instagramming lately! 

One of my mum's pooches, Dexter! // Drinking cocktails and eating burgers at MeatLiquor with Kristabel and Jen // My H&M necklace // A snapshot of my desk! // Posing on a train because that's what happens when you cross having an online audience with intense boredom... // My DIY Paisley Nail Art I did for work! One of my favourite mani's EVER // My pretty blouse from H&M // My new shoes from Sarenza - the creepers were a bit too small so I'm exchanging them. // My fridge looked unusually full (if a little disorganised) after we went shopping today so I took a pic... Why not!  // Tried to take a pic of the biblical rain the garden and my cam zoomed in on the raindrops... I liked it! 

What are you up to this weekend? We've got pals round tomorrow and are trying to think of something healthy-ish we can do for dinner... These particular pals are usually our Dominos partners in crime! Hmm... I'm also going to hit town tomorrow and see if there's anything cheapie on the high street I can invigorate the wardrobe with!

Shake Off The Dust

Those unwilling to discern your integrity are unworthy of access. ~Dr. Mike Murdock

Son of God, Son of Man
Lamb that was slain

Grace that blow all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Floral Fade

SUP!

Sorry I've not blogged in a while! Had a majorly busy one at work last week and the was away seeing family and friends at the weekend. Have got lots of new blog ideas, so am really going to try and get back into the routine of regular blogging! 

Here's what I wore to work yesterday:

(shirt: H&M, jacket - H&M Kids! skinny jeans: M&S

My pretty new clogs are a prezzie from Sarenza! They're 'Victoria' by Moheda, a nice soft-leather clog style shoe with a bit of a twist due to the ankle strap! They're a low heel (my fave kind) and are super comfy. Like loads of stuff on the Sarenza site at the mo, they've got 40% off at the moment, so only cost £44.40. A lot of 4's in that sentence, 4 real! 

The blouse gets loads of nice comments but the boob button just refuses to stay done up! I was doing street style photography in East London yesterday and kept flashing my hideous-but-oh-so-sturdy pearlescent mauve t-shirt bra to London's coolest... 

Life has been busy but fab lately. Really getting the hang of things at work and loving it more every day. The 3G signal on my iPad has proven to be a bit crummy, so I haven't been able to maximise the dead commute time as much as I had hoped.  Some days it seems to work better than others, but on bad days I can't even Instagram, let alone blog from it, like I really wanted to! I'm using a GiffGaff (O2's sister company) data simcard at the mo, does anyone have any recommendations of other data plans? Thinking a new provider might offer better 3G! 

I'm off to continue watching Super Tiny Animals which I recorded the other night... It's pretty mental! 

So what's new with you?!

Father, give me the spirit of a finisher. Place the will and desire to complete what I have started. Give me Your strength to continue. In Jesus' Name. Amen. ~Dr. Mike Murdock

The Wrong Time

The right thing at the wrong time becomes the wrong thing. ~Dr. Mike Murdock

Nothing is more awesome than to know God.

Two Gold Nuggets

Two golden nuggets to remember daily: "I am disciplined when I disobey God. I am blessed & prospered when I obey God." ~Donnie Alexander

Diamonds In the Rough

Reassurance comes as we doubt our doubts and believe our beliefs.
~Randy Kilgore
(Luke 7:22)

Worship Him

King David understood that in all circumstances we can worship and thank God for His care and control. What are you experiencing today? A time of blessing or of testing? In any event, remember David's example, and sing praises to God for His rule in our lives. ~Dennis Fisher
(Psalm 103:19)

Choose Friends Wisely

Every relationship takes you toward your dreams or away from them. ~Dr. Mike Murdock

A Look Back

The answer is clearer to me now that I'm older and have more of the past to look back on. By looking back, I see that God has led me all the way. I can truthfully say, "God has been my shepherd all my life to this day."~David Roper (Genesis 48:15)

Lounge On The Farm Fest!

Alex and I headed to Lounge on the Farm festival yesterday to take some street style pics for work! It's a bit of a hippy festival, famed for its chilledness (hence 'lounge') and family friendly atmosphere! It was a strange crowd though (a variation of scantily clad young teens and I'm-still-cool-right? older ladies with prams in tow...) but there were a couple of cool bands on the line up and some gorgeous food so it was quite a laugh all in all! I'll be putting my festival street style snaps on Company.co.uk in the week, but here are some of my own snapshots of the day...

There was a charity shop at the festival!

Pink and purple hair!

Bastille playing - they put on an awesome show!

Got a venison burger for lunch - NOM!

The Breakfast Club had a café in a double decker bus!

The charming male lavatories :| Essentially giant green buckets o' piss.

Lady on stilts cooking pancakes!

Me making Alex die inside by insisting on a self taken photo... At least I'm having fun eh?

My outfit! Mum's Levi's jacket from the literal 80s, tee - Primark, dip hem (not that you can see it here) skirt - , boots - eBay

This guy was just too cool not to get a photo of...

DIY shorts!

Have got a busy week coming up. My boss is off on holiday so the Company website will be my baby for the week.... No pressure then! I'm looking forward to the challenge, but do send some good luck vibes my way just in case! Am also seeing Derren Brown on Thursday night with Alex and his parents - So excited!!!

Hope you've all had fab weekends!
