You Wore that YESTERDAY...

My daughter absolutely positively LOVE skinny jeans. She's only 7, and her sense of style is so strongly demonstrated through the way she likes to dress. I have nothing wrong with it but I'd like for her to change it up. She enjoys wearing skirts too, but if she could wear skinny jeans daily she would. ( Se wear uniform Mon-Thurs! I'm sure u can guess her favorite day, Friday!! Free DRESS)

I then think about my wardrobe and the way I style myself. I can make just about anything look nice except a uniform. Wearing a uniform conforms you to looking like a group. I've always been a Leader, loving to stand out. It was such torture at my previous place of employment wearing the uniform. I would leave my uniform there and wear my own clothes into the school. 5-10mins before my shift was over, I'd find myself running down the hall to the bathroom to change. It was such a depressing atmosphere looking like everyone else. I would tend to find myself in a pissy attitude because it was in the air of the facility.

I look at people daily. Most "wear" the exact same "Uniform".
Depression
Hurt
Heartache
Aggravation
Pity
Selfless"Ness"
Sin

Each and everyday, ALL day these are the items people have decided to wear. While we're all entitled to wear what we must, why put the SAME thing on every single day? Whatever happened to waking up and feeling fresh and anew?
If you're wearing the same thing because someone hurt you, rid yourself of their presence and hold by letting it go.
If you're wearing pity because someone has done you wrong, let that feeling go and build yourself up.
If you're wearing sin, remove yourself from that sinful nature.. Seek the safety of God and HE will make you whole.

It's not in my blood to wear the same thing daily. I'm to fresh and Oh so clean.. So, today I pass the PEACE of ridding yourself of yesterday's rags. Get up, go through your "wardrobe" and put on the cleanest prettiest piece of clothing you have( or put on the prettiest smile you have) and leave yesterday's garment in the dirty clothes.


It's a New day and we welcome it with Cleanliness!!
