What to wear!

So, this is my very first entry.... lets see how it goes. :)

Today as I was walking with my very dear friend, Carissa... I was rambling about the ungodly amount of clothes I have... and how I worry about what am I gonna wear to this and that and how my mom (love u!) always says "If you worried about what your heart looks like half as much as you do in taking care of yourself and looking nice, you would be in good shape!". Very, very true!

We always wake up and think "what am I gonna wear today?" "how will I look in this?" and "what will people think of me in this outfit?" the same goes for our hearts as it does for our outer appearance.
We wake up every morning and put on a different outfit for our hearts every single day.
For a few weeks I was dressing my heart all in black - in depression.  All people would see was the gloominess. Other times I dress my heart in being "hard"... kind of emoish, like nothing can harm me and I am fearless.
However, we should wake up everyday and wear the armor of God! Open our hearts up to Him and let him clothe us in His righteousness and truth.  He calls us to show everyone who we are in Him and let Him shine through us, and our hearts and actions are the biggest things that people ultimately notice.  We can dress our bodies in any way we want to, to make us look beautiful or whatever way we are feeling.  But our hearts is what is ultimately acknowledged and how we are known for.  I can meet the most beautiful/handsome of people, but if their heart is no good, I see them in a different way.

I have fallen short to this for most of my life.  Hypocritical and judgmental.  I need to find who I am in the Lord and walk with Him, unwaveringly.

So, lets wake up and instead of thinking of how we will appear physicall, lets ask God how should we dress our hearts today?

Love peace and chicken grease y'all!
