Hey guys! So good to be back wit cha!! This is from the Fall show in Hotlanta last October. So wished I could remember this guys name. He won some top/World title that I'm sure he would be highly offended by my forgetfulness. If he only knew me he would understand. Anyway, he was GREAT and my friend and I loved every second of his work. This guy was in the same show. We had a big time but these were the only pics I could take on my cell at the time. Big shows coming up in September and October so I'll be sure to have some awesome pics to show you from that one. Now for the blog: Ok, so I'm a slacker. I own it and admitting your problem is like half of the recovery process. Right? Sorry for the ginormous delay. I've been in a bit of a slump and sort of hit a wall that mentally I was struggling with. I think I'm crawling out from under a big pile of coats that I've been under. Not literally. That would not be something to take lightly and if I had been under a RE...

Moving on. If you're new to the blog, PLEASE go back and read the 3 previous entries. I know it'll be worth it. And thanks, I'm glad you're here! As a recap, I'm imagining God as my personal stylist. I've tried on 3 looks so far during my style session. You've got to read all about it. "Salvation", "Active Wear", and "Fierce". All very different looks but equally essential parts of this collection. As I look around for my next look I feel God going in a very different direction. A bit more serene. --I've been saved---I'm running here, there, and everywhere---I've even done some spriritual battle. But I can feel a draw that is pulling me to an outfit that's not so much for show but more for a comfortable, sweet, bonding time. I can't help but think of white, light, gauzy like material. So of course I imagine that God has planted me on the beach. In the late afternoon I can feel the light warmth ...

In my style session with God as Master Stylist, I'm coming across some incredible pieces. He's already dressed me in "Salvation" (Psalm 149:4) which I am loving! It's such a good fit I think I will let it double as my Spanx (s omething's got to pull in the flaws and help me be more pleasing to the eye. haha ). So my Salvation stays on. Then I hit the mini runway in "Active Wear". This was a fun look with lots of energy. It was a light, bright outfit that could take me everywhere ( Eph 5:8,9). It had great shoes too. Once I put on my Gospel boots, I was good to go ( Eph 6:15). Ok , I am so excited to see what's next. This outfit is definitely different than the previous two. Tyra Banks comes to mind. Whether you've seen her TV show or not, I'm sure you've seen this super model's trademark look. She has very proudly made the word "fierce" synonymous with her identity. And if you don't mind, I'll snag her word...

I've placed God as my Master Stylist. He's dressed me in Salvation for my first look (Psalm 149:4). I am lookin' good and on my way to enjoying this style session. Now that I've got my Salvation on, what next? Or is this it? Well I'm not leaving til He's shown me the whole collection. I think God might choose Active Wear for my next look. Active Wear is what we are all looking for, right? After all, it's a practical choice for everyday life. Clothes that make us feel good and can take us from morning to night. That's kind of a tall order because who knows what our day will encounter. We just know that we want to be comfortable and look good doing it all. I think to get this look started we've got to be prayed up. We've got to ask God to open our eyes for opportunities to shine His light wherever we go. Ephesians 5:8 says, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9(for the fruit of the Spiri...

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. "He will beautify the humble with salvation"~~ If God were my Rachel Zoe, my own personal stylist, He would first choose to clothe me in salvation. "..Clothe me in salvation". Before He can do this He has to get me ready for my style session. This takes a bit of planning and thought. God must set the stage, so to speak. A good stylist plans, prepares, gathers needed material, and gets a full vision for the overall and complete look. In this case, I was so unattractive or plainly said, ugly as sin or maybe better to say "ugly with sin". This sin is so ugly that He cannot even look on me. If we started here God wouldn't even be able to take my measurements. God cannot be with sin. He sees this as a problem that must be fixed. We've got to wash sin away. The sin must go before anything can be done. As you've seen on What Not To Wear ...

From time to time we seem to just hit a funk. Have you ever noticed this? For a multitude of reasons we just sometimes seem to get in a slump where nothing seems to be going right or smooth. Take for instance, our family has just finished another extra-curricular filled season. You know how it goes - we hit the road right after school and juggle all the locations that we've got to get to on any given evening. Now my husband is in an unusual line of work and his schedule is always changing. And even though I've known this since the day I met him, I went ahead and scheduled the impossible for Thursday nights. "My husband can help me" I thought. We'll split duties and everything will work perfectly. Well, there was my first mistake, thinking that something would work out "perfectly". I mean if you know me to any degree then you know that the two words "perfect" and "Jenny Leigh" never belong in the same sentence! So for 8 of the 10 weeks...
