inspired by this tank...
i made a fall/winter long sleeved version.
now i wish i would have done a fun printed fabric for the flowers, but i just used old leggings because i wasn't sure how it would turn out.

blessed
i am too blessed. the Lord has just continued to bless me over and over again in so many ways. i have felt so loved and humbled by His grace in the past couple of weeks-- i know this encouragement is completely from the Lord.
i have been given this lovely community of friends through k-life (a youth ministry i am involved in) who truly seek after God fully and desperately--which is challenging and encouraging all at once. recently some of the other leaders and i have been going through david platt's book, radical. (you've got to read this book!) it is convicting, it is true, and it is heartbreaking. the "american church" is so far from the biblical church it's painful.
as a result of discussion about this book, collectively we are convicted about how easy, acceptable, and sometimes even encouraged it is to stay surface level and not be honest about our lives in the christian world. and we are trying to change that. listen--it is hard to be honest! it is incredibly difficult to share deeply and openly about struggles. about convictions. about hurts. and even about praises. BUT there is no condemnation in Christ. none. and that is exactly where joy and peace begins. and that is where i am comforted and blessed to be once again shown grace even when i absolutely do not deserve it.
the Lord is good.
