Soul Style Beauty

A Brooklyn girl living a life full of faith with a dash of Style & Beauty

Soul

There is no FORMULA!

 

As believers we are bombarded daily with this world, our flesh, various opinions, ads, music, movies that conflict with the word of God. That is exactly why the bible says “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)”

This world and the individuals living in it are not the standard. Not even fellow believers! We cannot allow this world to put us in it’s mold. This is why we need to renew our minds daily with the word of God.

What is your posture with God today? That posture not only shows how we see God, but how we see ourselves.

Lacking satisfaction in the Christian life can lead us to covet another individuals possessions (though God stated in His word “do not covet thy neighbor“), it can cause you to try to act out on willpower or lead you to completely walk away from the Christian faith. I believe that this heart posture (dissatisfaction) is a result of not understanding the exchange of accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Trust me, I didn’t grasp it for a while and sometimes I still have to remind myself THY WILL BE DONE.

As the bible states in Ephesians 1:11, “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will”. He chose us, he has foreknowledge of everything that takes place and it all happens for the purpose of His will!

Being in the digital age, it’s so easy to assume the grass is greener on the other side while scrolling through social media. No one shows the struggles, only what’s pleasing to the eye. It’s easy to see someone at the end of their journey excelling at what they’re doing and you start to think to yourself “I can do that too!” or “I want to do that!”. It’s no longer Gods will and desires for His grand purpose that are overpowering your own. You assume that you’re lacking something, Gods timing is too slow and you HAVE TO HELP.

The fact that God has an individual purpose for each and all of our lives should empower us to have the desire to stay in His will. Doesn’t that excite you?

When we get saved, it’s easy to say that we surrender our lives to the one and only true God. He is our Savior! Truth is that reality grows bigger as we grow in Christ. It’s easier said than done. It’s human nature to want answers and want to know all the details, but as believers we are supposed to think differently. That is no longer our responsibility!

Now you may say, “am I supposed to sit around and do nothing”? How do I know what God wants me to do? Simple answer, pray and read the word.  As your heart aligns with His will, His desires will replace your desires which is all apart of his plan and purpose .  Naturally the human mind isn’t capable to think biblically. We must stay in the word to enable us to think and focus biblically. It is our responsibility to believe, trust and most importantly have faith. Our sovereign God is not on the sideline waiting to jump into our lives at moments when we think we need Him the most. He is there throughout all moments!

So the next time you covet the life/journey of another individual, stand firm with your armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18 ) and take captive every thought that goes against the word of God and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Trust and most importantly believe that he is sovereign and working out everything for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Surrender it and know that where you are is exactly where He wants you to be.

Do not spend time worrying about something that’s already handled.

As I always say, stay plugged.

Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹 In a marriage, date nig Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹

In a marriage, date nights are a necessity. It doesn’t have to be grand either. I definitely is a form of non-physical intimacy. Hubby and I do this twice a month at least. Here’s where we we went:

@tatianabychefkwame - y’all, I was so happy and grateful that hubby and I ate here. I was so afraid that we wouldn’t get a seat because they are booked out and we were running late. I was two seconds from saying forget it, but Jose said “nope, we’re trying. I prayed.” We got a seat and everything was a 10/10 from the service to the music and the food. I want to book a reservation ASAP.

@citywinerynyc - I’m a sucker for live music and a concert. That’s how we bonded in our beginning stages. I heard @officialjonb was performing, so I had to go. I love me some 90’s R&B y’all!

We had a blast! This night just went so smoothly. If you’re in a relationship/married, how often do you date each other?

Gloomy days and new nails ☁️. French, but let Gloomy days and new nails ☁️. 
French, but let’s make it abstract.
First, if you know me you know I love Jhene. W.A.Y First, if you know me you know I love Jhene. W.A.Y.S is my song!!!

If I would say I never think about giving up I’d be lying 😂. Life be life’ing. Thankfully, every morning you have a chance to restart and to commit to the habits that will propel you forward. 

Here are somethings that keep me grounded:

-A routine- I like structure and routine. It’s funny because my husband is the total opposite 😂. God knows I needed someone that is more spontaneous. It’s needed. A routine, but flexibility is always needed.
-My Faith- my life is a whole testimony and as long as I have breath I know it’s because of God. 
-My Skincare- Your canvas is so important, so make sure you prioritize making sure your skin is taken care of. We love a beat face over here though. 
-Feeding my Mind- Reading has been big for me this year and I’ll some books have really been transformative. I’ll share more about my recommendations in another reel.
-My Health- Health is wealth. So make sure to take gave a good balance. Prioritize it.
P.S

I’m changing my content. I’m not a celebrity, nor do I desire fame. I’m a normal person. Everything isn’t perfect, grand or spectacular. I’m okay with that too.
