Scarfed With Light

Ok this is just too good to keep to myself. One the same day we posted Walk in the Light
this picture was released. I honestly wasn't expecting it for weeks, as it was only taken three days ago. I cannot even tell you the emails and Facebooks that have come our way over this talk of walking in the light. I cannot encourage you enough to get with a close friend and talk through your struggles. What are some things you can do to let your life light up? What friends do you need to talk to? What accountability do you have in place? I remind you of the words form Matthew 5.

Matthew 5:14-16 (The Message)
14-16"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

Girls, God loves us way too much to get caught in the dark. Get a bright scarf for you and a friend and talk about the tough stuff. Remember that darkness does not define the light, but light certainly defines the darkness. Go light up...bright scarf and all.

Walk in the Light



A simple and easy pick me up to your daily wardrobe is a bright scarf! There are soooooo many textures, colors, and prints to choose from. The best part about this trend is it can make anything look great. Jeans and a tee? Not anymore. Wrap a bright scarf around your neck and boom- Instant Glamour Girl!

Spotlight:
5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
- 1 John 1:4-6
If you are living in darkness a bright scarf isn't going to help you out. There are times that even though we are walking in the ways of the Lord, we feel as though we are in darkness. I pray that you examine your heart and find the truth. Don't put it off. Talk to a close friend, and let them tell you the truth. One of the great things about true friendship is that they can tell you when you are being stupid, because they are able to tell you out of love. Please don't take offense to what they are saying. Likewise, if you need to have a tough conversation with a friend, I pray that you do so out of love also. Maybe you could bring them a scarf to cheer them up!
