#GodsGirlsBrunch//001 – Bigger than me.

Wow, it’s literally been about 5 days since I hosted my first #GodsGirlsBrunch. Let me just say that this post is for me because I love to look back on what God did, but I do hope you truly see how great God is as you read this post.

As everyone socialized and exchanged contact information for the last 25 minutes of my event, Nissi (blogger and founder of podcast My Strength and My Shield) came up to me and asked me “Can I ask you something? Do you think this (this=speaking and throwing an event such as this) comes natural to you?

My short answer is No.

You see, it took me a while to get out my comfort zone. I started my YouTube Channel my senior year of high school and my blog my first year of college. I barely shared my content and was always fearful of what people thought of me.  No one except close friends at the time knew about my blog or YT channel. As time went by I actually had falling outs with people because of jealousy and envy of how driven and motivated I was. Therefore I started hiding who I was because simply it made people upset and uncomfortable. It was a constant prayer that I would not be moved by peoples opinions. I truly think that this year, I felt a HUGE supernatural shift.

I started sharing more of WHO I AM. Emari, a imperfect believer , a makeup lover who loves styles and to inspire people. At first, before being saved in 2014, my channel just consist of the things I loved- Fashion and Makeup. When I got saved, I was so on fire for the Lord and wanted to of course incorporate my faith. It was then that I realized that my purpose was bigger than me. It was so uncomfortable coming out to friends and family that I was now saved, but I did it anyway.

Three years later, God is still working on my behind through the process of sanctification. He continues to strip me down of layers and layers of myself and continues to show me that I NEED HIM to get anything done out here in these streets!

Back in November of 2017, God implanted this vision of #GodsGirlsBrunch. Women will get together monthly and be filled by the Word of God, cultivate relationships and encourage one another. I was scared to act out on it and prayed to make sure that this was a desire from Him because if it wasn’t I don’t want any parts lol! As months with by, God provided literally everything. An event planner, a photographer, down to the scriptures we actually studied.

All it took was a posture of obedience, trust in Him, and a receptive heart. You don’t have to be any perfect being to be used by God. I am a imperfect being, sister, friend, yet God still used me. If we ever wait until we are perfect, we will never feel freedom.

So, no this did not come natural, but God gave me such freedom and peace about this event. He allowed me to speak His TRUTH as the ladies and I discussed #ActiveFaith. I cannot give any praise to myself that I feel the freedom I feel, but it was a constant prayer that I will be released from people bondage. I pray that if this is your current situation, you continue to pray and watch what God will do. I will never feel comfortable speaking, but reliance on Him makes everything better.

Just remember these two things:

  1. You will never please everyone. You cannot be everything to everyone.
  2. Nobody ever changed the world by worrying about people’s opinions of them.

Thank you for everyone who came. I pray this event continues to happen as He leads me <3.

Love y’all!,

SoulStyleBeauty <3

I don’t know about you guys, but sunscreen works I don’t know about you guys, but sunscreen works wonders for my skin. 💫 

I was looking for a sunscreen that I can use as a lotion and a sunscreen to avoid using multiple products. I landed on the @supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50. It’s been a fave lately and I’ve been using it for over a month now. I love that this sunscreen is hydrating, water & sweat resistant and it doesn’t leave a white cast. It also doesn’t feel super heavy on the skin. 

If you’re looking for a sunscreen, definitely check out this one. Btw, make sure you wear sunscreen DAILY.🤎

Obsessed w/ this maxi from @riverisland btw 🤗.
Yesterday’s sermon touched me. The words “you Yesterday’s sermon touched me. The words “you don’t need a plan b for your faith” convicted me to the core. We all heard the verse “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. The person that I am is someone very controlling who needs to know everything. Uncertainty gives me anxiety. That is just an indication of my faith not being where it needs to be. My faith is constantly tested and I can tell it’s in need of some strengthening. I constantly have to check myself on if I have more faith in myself, my plans, solely my works, and my spiritual health rather than God. 

If that’s you, let’s make May a month of strengthening our faith. Faith isn’t uncertainty, it’s certain. It’s believing in who He is and believe that He is who he says He is. It doesn’t have to make sense and you don’t have to see it happen to believe it will. No plans necessary, according to your faith… YOUR FAITH be it unto you. 

PERIODT, happy May.
In my opinion, makeup removal is more important th In my opinion, makeup removal is more important than the application. If you don’t remove your makeup, it can lead to unwanted acne and breakouts, BUT YOU KNOW THIS! Don’t sleep with your makeup on. The makeup removal process used to annoy me until I started using a cleansing balm. I love using the @farmacybeauty Green Clean Makeup Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm because it removes all my makeup (included waterproof mascara) with ease. It leaves my skin feeling nourished + hydrated. Bomb and definitely approved by me!
