I AM NOT ASHAMED
When I started my blog I never would do a post on Sunday. I thought that I shouldn’t since it was the day of rest. I was going to be like Chick-Fil-A and be closed on Sundays. However, for a reason that I can’t explain, I felt the need to do an inspirational/religious post. You can not even begin to understand how out of my comfort zone this was.
I am not a scholar, I am just trying to be closer to the Lord. I cannot quote scriptures, and I would never try to preach to anyone. Sharing my journey, my struggles, and my thoughts was never intended to be a part of this blog. In fact, I get more negative feedback about my Sunday posts than any post that I do. Sometimes, those comments are sent to me by email, so I never share those with you, but there are times when a comment is left on the blog.
I would be lying if I didn’t say that there have been times when I thought about not posting on Sundays; it would be so much easier on me. Having someone tell you that they don’t want their fashion blogger “preaching” to them can be hurtful. I will usually call my sister and cry to her, then shake it off and do it all over again the next week.
I have to keep reminding myself that the devil will use every tactic possible to keep anyone from sharing the Lord’s work is what keeps me going. Today’s devotional was on Luke 9 and even though it was not about this verse, this is what spoke to me.
Luke 9:26
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
I am not ashamed of the Lord! I can only pray that He is not ashamed of me and that when my time comes to be before Him, He will have mercy on me.
So, for those who love fashion and only want to see clothing, check out my blog Monday through Saturday. And for those who are also struggling with their journey with the Lord and want some inspiration and companionship, continue to come back each Sunday. The devil is just going to have to get over it because I am not quitting. I AM NOT ASHAMED!
Have A Blessed Sunday!
We never know what is going on in someone’s life. The person leaving a negative comment could be going through something horrible. As my brother went through chemo, he was angry with God and lashed out at people saying they would pray for him. It didn’t stop me for praying for him. And someone else’s struggle shouldn’t stop you. Keep planting those seeds!
Actually, I look forward to reading your Sunday postings. They inevitably touch my heart with good, solid common sense and thoughts to pronder. Thank you for sharing.
Amen!
I read this outloud to me and my husband Pat and he said we are right there with you and to keep on with the Sunday blogs! Beautifully said!
Tania, I read your blog (almost) daily. I always look forward to your fashion ideas and also what you write. I leave a comment upon occasion but today I felt I HAD to comment. As others have said…YOUR blog, YOUR way. You’ve made clear your Sunday posts are reflections on your Faith. If someone is not interested in that, they should not read it. I mean, come on! Others have left very eloquent comments here and I concur. Ignore the haters❤️??
I love your Sunday post , very inspirational. I look forward to reading it every Sunday morning .
Have a blessed day !!!!

Very good reply. The negative people need to get over it. Your blog and you do it how you feel led. The Lord has a plan.
Tania, I have often told my husband that you have somewhat missed your calling, because you have such an apparently effortless, innate ability to share about Christianity. I mean, you are GOOD at it. Don’t let the negative responses get you down–if they don’t like it, they can just skip the Sunday posts. It’s not like you make anybody read the Jesus parts to get to the fashion parts. You are doing right, and I am consistently impressed with and inspired by your Sunday posts.
Thank you for sharing your faith with us every Sunday. I look forward to reading your Sunday post each week and at times I feel like you’re talking to me. Please don’t stop!
