I AM NOT ASHAMED
When I started my blog I never would do a post on Sunday. I thought that I shouldn’t since it was the day of rest. I was going to be like Chick-Fil-A and be closed on Sundays. However, for a reason that I can’t explain, I felt the need to do an inspirational/religious post. You can not even begin to understand how out of my comfort zone this was.
I am not a scholar, I am just trying to be closer to the Lord. I cannot quote scriptures, and I would never try to preach to anyone. Sharing my journey, my struggles, and my thoughts was never intended to be a part of this blog. In fact, I get more negative feedback about my Sunday posts than any post that I do. Sometimes, those comments are sent to me by email, so I never share those with you, but there are times when a comment is left on the blog.
I would be lying if I didn’t say that there have been times when I thought about not posting on Sundays; it would be so much easier on me. Having someone tell you that they don’t want their fashion blogger “preaching” to them can be hurtful. I will usually call my sister and cry to her, then shake it off and do it all over again the next week.
I have to keep reminding myself that the devil will use every tactic possible to keep anyone from sharing the Lord’s work is what keeps me going. Today’s devotional was on Luke 9 and even though it was not about this verse, this is what spoke to me.
Luke 9:26
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
I am not ashamed of the Lord! I can only pray that He is not ashamed of me and that when my time comes to be before Him, He will have mercy on me.
So, for those who love fashion and only want to see clothing, check out my blog Monday through Saturday. And for those who are also struggling with their journey with the Lord and want some inspiration and companionship, continue to come back each Sunday. The devil is just going to have to get over it because I am not quitting. I AM NOT ASHAMED!
Have A Blessed Sunday!
Woohoo!! You ROCK your love for the Lord, Tania, and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU for using your influence thru your blog to share our Lord! You never know when someone who complains just might remember what you said & need it to turn their lives to the Lord later on! You are doing what God asked of you & He is rewarding you! And you’re right…the other nay-sayers can just not read it on Sunday!!
God bless you too?
Praise God and keep the posts on Sunday coming. I just took my mom and alcoholic brother to see The movie, I Can only Imagine. It was so awesome and such a positive message of love and forgiveness ad well as redemptive transformation. Sometimes we just have to share where God gives us an avenue or opening and leave the rest to Him. For mr today this was my way of sharing with a lost beother. I don’t know if he will accept the message, but we try. Satan will always be there trying to cause us to doubt our own faith journey, but just keep remind yourself greater is He who is living in me then he who is living in the world. I love your blog because of all you bring both with fashion and your faith!! Just know you help build up the team of ladies who do walk with God and are inspired to go out and meet the world’s challenge and share theirs as well, where ever it is God brings an opportunity. It is not on us, but the other person if they are willing to listen and receive. But for us who do love your shating, thank you for helping to inspire and build us up in His love. Don’t take it personally it is truly God they are rejecting. You are beautiful and inspirational.
Have a blessed week.
