Last week while walking home from the library I encountered a fast approaching dog. I am accustomed to taking exercise hikes and usually carry a stick for just such an occasion. Dogs respect a stick but wouldn’t you know I didn’t have one. When I heard the dog approaching I quickly took off my shoulder bag wrapped it around my hand and crouched down in “ninja mode”. The dog was impressed with my quick action and decided to take another route. All I could say is “God is good” because he told to act quickly.
I am a church going sinner saved by grace. Which means I do my best to be nice and I go to church with people who do the same. One thing I have learned is God forgives me when I make mistakes. I go to church to learn more about God and there have been occasions when my clothing has fallen short (pardon pun). “You can worship God naked” but you can also “ worship in private”. Can you remember a bad outfit you know too short, too tight, too low cut, no stockings etc.?
When I make a mistake and my fashion goal of 8 on a 10-point scale looks like a 4. I am woman enough to fix it. I add supportive gear such as: a camisole, bra and/or a lightweight t-shirt underneath a top, sweater or dress. There are times when a garment cannot be saved (no matter what it cost) it is tossed in the give-a-way box or trash bin. God forgives sins and when we confess they are never brought up again. If I get caught looking like a “Hot Mess” I am going to forgive myself and look good another day.
