Hey sweet friends. Happy almost Fall, y'all. I want it to be fall so badly, but it just doesn't feel like it yet. I am jumping the gun with decorating for sure, but it is harder to do that will clothes. I am ready for plaid and cozy sweaters. Until then, here is a great transition outfit. Florals can totally be fall if you pick the right palette. Just opt for more earthy and muted tones. I think I might be over wearing this outfit. I usually never really like to style an outfit the same way twice, (unless it is comfy clothes) but this one has been on repeat. It is simple, cute, and comfy all at the same time. Oh, and by the way, with the exception of the hat, the whole thing is from Target. #Targetstyle for the win. What are you looking for most this fall? For me, it has to be the leaves changing. Or maybe it is the fall styling.
I wanted to take a minute to tell you about something a little personal. I think it will resonate with some of you who struggle too. If you didn't know, I have always been someone who struggled with depression. I struggled with it all through high school and college. I feel like life has sent some pretty crazy things my way that I hope to open up about some day. Mostly, my depression stemmed from situational circumstances that I just absolutely could not change. No matter how much you want, some times things are just out of your control. I have fought hard to be happy, and I am so happy that I can finally say that I am. I think all that most people want to be in this life is happy. Unfortunately, on that pursuit of happiness, many people will do just about anything to achieve it. Even if that means doing things that are not good. Which is why I have to tell you about the only thing that will work.
It wasn't an easy battle. I can tell you that for sure. My joy has been robbed from me for so long and I got sick of it to be honest. I am pretty sure I searched for answers in every single wrong place. So I feel qualified to be able to share this with you. You won't find answers in a bigger bank account. You won't find answers in a dream job. You won't find answers in the perfect relationship. Unless that relationship is yours with Christ. That is the answer to all of the problems really. Most of all happiness. When you find trust in the Lord, you will find everything you need. You can even beat depression like I have.
The bible says that "The joy of the Lord is our strength". What makes the Lord happy will make you happy. I encourage you to read your bible and find out what that is, because life is so much better with him. It truly is. I hope you could see the difference in me. I have found happiness and joy in the Lord and I know it will work for you too. So if you are struggling today, look to Jesus. Look to the cross. It is more than just history. It is all there is, and your happiness lives with him. Both are calling for you.
Thank you for stopping by today. I love you. The Lord loves you. Have a wonderful day.
Love Always, Sarah
