Sunday Style // Snowflakes On My Lashes

o u t f i t
purple cardigan // St. John's Bay {Kohl's}
floral jumper // made by me
belt // thrifted {Hospice}
necklace // no idea...it's very likely that I stole it from mom.
boots // just my standard winter footwear, which I switched out for flats at church.

I love the way this jumper makes the transition between each season.  Throw a sweater on top and a flannel slip underneath for the cold months, a lighter weight cardigan for spring, and style it like this for summer use.  Works every time!  And the spring colors help to beat the winter blahs.  In fact, I'm thinking I need another jumper this style, maybe with a shorter skirt for swing dancing.  Yes...sounds like a plan.  And the sweater.  It's PURPLE folks!  The best color.  The color of perfection.  My favorite color.  And the length and details are just wonderful, too.

This morning when I stepped outside to do barn chores, I discovered it had snowed at least 8-10 inches over night.  I groaned a bit, since snow that deep usually makes walking to the barn much harder.  But this snow, was incredible.  It was the lightest, fluffiest snow you've ever seen!  When I kicked it up into the air, it sparkled as it drifted slowly back to the ground, looking like down feathers floating on the wind.  Breathtakingly beautiful!  And so easy to walk in.  Thank you Father for making my life easier and more beautiful this morning!  Not only was there a lot of snow, but it's been quite cold here.

I think this face tells the whole story...

Well, it was 10*F outside!  Also, my eyebrows are cracking me up...teehehe.

Today's sermon was a follow up to last week's message on pointing the way to Jesus.  We moved forward and finished the first chapter of John.  In those last verses, we saw how five disciples were brought to the Lord through friends and relatives.  Pastor pointed out that we all have someone in our lives, be they a friend or relative or acquaintance, who needs the Lord.  He encouraged us to pray for opportunities to share the gospel through our everyday lives, and for boldness to speak up.  I definitely need all the encouragement I can get on the "speaking up" bit, so I found this message both inspiring and convicting.

Being the first Sunday of the month, we had communion today and also our monthly potluck.  Some really yummy food today, and some excellent hymn singing and visiting!  I love my church family so much.

And now it's time for me to put on about a thousand layers (I may be exaggerating...but only slightly.) and head outside to feed the animals.  My ewes should be lambing towards the end of this month, so I'm keeping a close eye on them.  Well, a closer eye on them - I always keep an eye on them, especially during the winter.  Can't wait to have little lambs jumping around again!

So, what's the weather doing where you are?

What was your sermon about?

I want to know!
