Dress Shopping

Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I'm back to post about more shopping.  The wedding gown shopping continues...It is not easy to find the perfect dress.  So my mom and I had some time a couple weekends back and decided to take a trip up to Spokane, WA to see if we could find the perfect wedding gown.  We got up early and headed out, the weather was absolutely beatiful.  Now, for this time of year usually the road conditions aren' t the best since you still have a lot of snow and ice on them, but not this weekend.  The roads were clear, although the weather forecast was for a lot of wind, we decided to chance it.  So off we headed.

We arrived at our first store about eleven in the morning and started browsing through the dresses.

Then once a consultant was free, I started trying on gowns to see if I could find anything I liked.  There are so many different styles out there.  This first dress, I saw on the mannequin as I was walking in the store and thought it just looked beautiful.  Unfortunately, when I tried it on, it did not look good on me at all.  What a bummer :(  so the searching continued.


I love the train on this gown, but the front of the dress just didn't compare nearly as well....so I tried on a few more....




I love the criss-cross look on the front of this gown






Then I tried on this dress and thought it was beautiful. 


But I wasn't sure it was the right dress for me, so I continued shopping.


This dress was just so different that I had to try it on....it was beautiful from the back with the layers on the train

Unfortunately, I didn't like the look of the front of it on me.

Next, I decided to try a dress with straps just to see if I liked the different look

We are starting to get somewhere, but I just don't know yet.


Yo, What do you think of this one?  (Just being silly now)

Don't you love the mannequin in the corner??


I tried on a veil with this dress to see how it would look...



This was the area where I was trying on dresses....

Well, that was all for that store and I didn't find the dress that I was just absolutely in love with.  So the shopping will continue.

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis.  At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve.  Can you imagine that?  God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.   Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God."  Think about that for a minute.   In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth.  Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God."  That is such a profound statement.  Can you say that about your life?  No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God.  "Trust in God and He will show the way."  Do we really understand what it means to trust God?  Can we truly comprehend this statement?   It's easy when things are going our way.  It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well.  However, do you still trust God when life is hard?  When everything seems to be going wrong in life?  Do you trust God through the hard stuff?   There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.  When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right.  The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night."   Think about the words to that song.  No matter what, God is still God.  He still has control over the outcome.  Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.
