Winter Just Keeps Coming

It seems that with every glimmer of warmer weather, a few days of rain soon follow. I never thought I would be the type of person looking forward to spring and summer as I considered myself a winter girl. I always pictured myself living in areas of the world where it was mostly foggy and raining. My opinions have definitely changed! After the coldest and wettest winter it seems California has ever had (probably not true, but feels that way) I realize how much I miss the sun. Yesterday, the weather was lovely. A nice breeze and sunny all day. However, today was cold and filled with fog, and is now currently storming outside.
Today though was a needed day of catching up on some rest. The week seemed to be so busy and full that it was nice to have a down day. Yesterday's bible study went well. We studied the story of Rahab and I was really impacted with the message. Rahab was a Canaanite, woman, and prostitute. She was probably as low as low could get on the socioeconomic of the time. Yet, God used her for His greater purpose in such a huge way. If it wasn't for her the Israelites would have never conquered Jericho and reach the promised land. I love how her whole identity changed from being a prostitute to being someone who God uses and whose life carries so much purpose. Our message for the study was to not define yourself by your past or the things you are doing, but by the purpose God has for your life, and how we can live in that. It helps us see ourselves as his beautiful children who will be used for a greater purpose than we even know!

Also had a small group leaders meeting during the evening yesterday, which was a really lovely time! I got to spend some good one-on-one time with another leader named Brittany. We got to open up about our lives, and pray together and I really felt God in the moment! I'm looking forward to spending some more time with her, she is so full of God and inspires with how easily she acknowledges God in all situations, despite how hard they are.

With a busy but fulfilling week behind me, I got to sleep a lot today. Also, got some exercise by playing a little dance dance revolution, which I used to be pretty good at but haven't been as up to par as of late! I'm working on building up my speed and stamia though!

I also spent some time with the boyfriend Daniel, which was lovely.
After a nice meal at home with my family, it is nice to relax again and be able to blog a little.
My outfit for today:

Dress: Styles 4 Less
Leggings: Vera Wang for Kohls
Boots: Steve Madden
Scarf: Previously my Grandma's (rest in peace <3), she got it from Russia!
Bag: Carlos Santa signature series from Macy's
Earrings: Clair's


My mom found this scarf today and I fell in love with it. What made it even better was that it was my Grandmothers which she got from Russia. Not only is it a lovely scarf, but it holds sentimental value. Those clothing items are usually the ones that I love the most. I love when an item has a story behind it. It was also my 'pop of color' for a rather dark outfit. (So windy while trying to take these!)


A better view of the bag.


I got these earrings on sale at Clair's for like a buck or two. I love them and was so happy to finally be able to wear them today!

Tomorrow I will get to spend some quality time with my best friend, can't wait!
