Are You She That He Findeth With a Sense of Style?

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple (Prov. 31:22).

 


I once heard a famous successful comedian say that the way a man dresses is an exemplification of his thought process, for example, a forty-year old man who still wears baggy and saggy pants has not mentally transitioned from boyhood - this ideology rings true for women as well. And I don’t know any grown woman that wants ANY man who dresses with his pants hanging off his butt.

The way we dress is an extension of our personality. When we step out in public, the first thing that anyone notices about us is our outwardly apparel. Your wardrobe will introduce itself before your smile will.

Ladies, look at your outwardly wardrobe as a book cover to an exciting book that is anticipating to be read. The best-selling books always have a book cover that leaves room for an imagination. No one wants to purchase a book when the entire cover tells the whole story. Why bother reading it when the whole plot is on the front cover. There is nothing left finding out.

What does your, “book cover” say about you?

XOXO,

Jay

Are You She That He Findeth, Romantic?

Let all your things be done with charity (1 Corinthians. 16:14).


 On my birthday, a few of my coworkers decided to throw me a surprise party. When I arrived in the company cafeteria, I found a strawberry whipped cream cake on display – my favorite, along with my favorite pasta. I instantly became overwhelmed with tears and couldn’t stop crying. My coworkers asked why I was crying and I told them that I greatly appreciated the time they took to make my birthday so special, considering my dad, whose birthday was on the same day as mine, had passed away two years prior, so sometimes birthdays are really hard for me. What was so heartfelt about this moment is that even though they only knew me for a short time, they paid enough attention to go out of their way to make me happy. I don’t ever remember telling them that my dad’s birthday was on the same day as mine or my favorite birthday cake was strawberry whipped cream, but they took the time to get to know me and find out what I liked. Until this day, that sweet gesture still romances my heart.

We don’t have to wait until we are in a relationship or on Valentine’s Day to be romantic. Dictionary.com defines romantic as displaying or expressing love or strong affection. When most people think of romantic, they make reference to an act towards a significant other or spouse; however, an expression of your love should not just be limited to a significant other. You can demonstrate love all year long by doing something that makes someone else feel special or happy. If you’re out Christmas shopping and you find a green sweater that you think would be cute on your cousin, but you are aware that your cousin doesn’t like green, would you buy the sweater anyway?

Remember ladies, being romantic is about removing yourself from the picture and seeking to fulfill another’s happiness, rather than your own.

XOXO,

Jay
