Lookin' Forward

I haven't been on the blog in a while, but I've been following the devos throughout the past month and a half and I am so humbled by God's love that is radiating through you all and your devos.  This week, the devotional from May 20th about modesty really spoke to me. Specifically, the excerpt that says:

"The temptation occurs when the disciple desires for people to lust over the disciple’s ideas about God instead of falling in love with God."

I know this temptation all too well. As much as I love talking about my faith (which is so good, sharing faith and discipleship and knowledge is a wonderful tool), I sometimes do it for the wrong reasons. Instead of sharing my faith and my ideas for the glory of God, I often do it to glorify MYSELF. I'm sure there has been a time when you've caught yourself talking about thought-provoking topics and thought, "wait, what was the point of this again?" and there's nothing wrong with that. Faith is a learning experience and I tend to forget that.

As memorial weekend approaches extremely fast, this devotional goes hand-in-hand with the modest simplicity that we must unapologetically exemplify during our time at Sonshine (and in our day-to-day life, for that matter). It really paints a picture of the love and modesty I need to take under my wing as I prepare my heart for my session.
