Still Kicking

'Thus saith the Lord, in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve tee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages Isaiah 49:8'

70s

'In the day when I cried out, You answered  me, and made me bold with strenght  in my soul Psalm  138:3'

Hi everyone  it's been ages I know so sorry had to take a lil break from blogging because I had other pressing family matters I had to attend to but I am back now and better too. Did you miss me? Well I did and I am glad we can get to talk or chat about some things.  This past few weeks has been quite challenging for me an eye opener too but in all I bless the name of the Lord for His mercies and love towards me. I am getting stronger by the day.

Yes I was born in the 70s and I am glad we are coming back to this era in the fashion industry  the flared jeans was one of them, I remember when our mums and sisters used to wear them  with Boho tops, floppy hats a d stand out block heels. I love the flare jeans  more it makes one look tall especially  when you pair it with heels, I like the fact that your shoes is a bit hidden.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Girl Power

'The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down Proverbs  14:1'

Happy International  Women's day, how are you doing? The world would be meaningless without women, I love strong, independent women, who aren't afraid  to be who God wants them to be. Women who are great influence  to those around them and to the society at large, women who build their homes whether  they are single single or married.  Women who stand in the gap praying for others, women who are intercessor,  counselors, peace makers.

There are loads of women with such attributes in the Bible, who through  them great men were born. Women like Deborah, Sarah, Esther, Mary, Ruth.

It is my prayer we will continue to remain  strong for ourselves, families and to the whole world.

As you can see we got the Girl Power going on here, we decided to go with denim on denim for that chic look. I love photos hoots with my girls it's all fun, fun, fun. Today was a good day at least Sachi allowed us take pictures of her she was camera ready lol and no I didn't have to 'bribe' her with anything.

Enjoy the pics lovelies.
