Happy Independence Day! I'm looking forward to fun filled evening of fellowship, yummy food, music, and dancing at Kellie's.  And once we get back home, a hike up the mountain behind our house to watch the Silverwood theme park fireworks show.  Tradition!

So, these pictures were actually taken in April, but I never got around to sharing them.  I'm wearing this outfit today, for obvious reasons. *smile*
I love wearing my Captain America shirt.  It's so much fun pairing it with different prints and colors, and I think it looks fantastic with the gingham!  I'd love to pair it with a larger gingham print at some point.  I think it would look super cute.
I ordered a Juniors size, and I love the more fitted look.  The crew neck felt a bit too tight to me, and I've altered the neckline slightly since these pictures were taken.  Very slightly - all I did was trim the collar part off, but left a seam.  Now it looks much more finished and less t-shirty, if you know what I mean.  I'll share pics at some point...maybe. *wink*

Happy Trails y'all!

You'll be seeing this hairstyle a lot this summer.  We're finally getting some hot weather up here in North Idaho and getting all of my hair up off of my neck is an absolute must now!  Hooray for sizzling weather just in time for the 4th of July!!  I'll definitely be jumping in the pond this week. *grin*  Anyway, I was very pleased with my outfit this Sunday.  I was aiming for cool, comfortable, and something that wasn't too snug around the waist since I sang with my brother at our church Music Night.  We sang In Christ Alone, one of my very favorite hymns.  A tight waistband is the last thing you need when you're trying to breath properly while combating intense stage fright. *wink*  Actually, I wasn't nearly as nervous as I was the first time, thanks very much to our sermon that morning.
The title was Faith vs. Fear.  We continued our study of the life of Abraham and focused on how fear was the opposite of faith.  It was a powerful message and exactly what I needed to hear!  Pastor gave us three verses to memorize to encourage us when fear is getting the better of our faith.  They're familiar to all of us and are 2 Timothy 1:7 (If you are fearful in a faith situation, the fear is not from God), Hebrews 13:5&6 (God is always with us), and Isaiah 26:3 (God wants us to trust Him).
