As long as I'm presentable at all times, I am fine. And I am so loving that Wanderlust shirt.<br /><br />Kia / KTS<br />www.houseofkts.comK / House of KTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990882510776196370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-20569425292417114292016-06-09T19:17:47.815-04:002016-06-09T19:17:47.815-04:00Hi Lisa,

I definitely think there are nuances of every color we all can wear, no matter what we look best in so I hope you find a lovely shade of pink and white to wear!! I've truly come to believe that about waiting though. How else would we discover the rich facets of God's character if we weren't seeking him and waiting for something? I feel as if once we pass the impatience point and some of the other mile markers on our wait, we enter into a place that's more peaceful and deeply meaningful. Praying for you! xoxoValerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-60052111897892808222016-06-09T15:38:25.226-04:002016-06-09T15:38:25.226-04:00Your sister sounds like mine!

I was telling God this morning, "You know I'm really trying hard to trust You, but it would make it SO much easier if You didn't take so long to answer prayers!" I'm sure He was amused... He'll probably make me wait longer for my impatience ;)Alecia Simerskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930051713213737724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-87173106891593360292016-06-09T15:01:24.801-04:002016-06-09T15:01:24.801-04:00So I think your readers want you to put on the sho...So I think your readers want you to put on the shorts! :) Count me in that camp too, if wearing shorts would make YOU feel good. Your sister will adjust. ha. You're right that we do need to stop and evaluate the "rules" we're living by from time to time and toss out the ones that no longer are appropriate.

I had a good friend tell me I didn't look good in white- and always think about it when I put a white shirt on-There is a rule I wish I could break- and that is red heads don't wear pink- I like pink - light pink - so soft and pretty but clashes with my hair! Just not good for me- so stuck with the fall colors - I do love brown now though- anyway this was such a good thought-" But far from being a wasteland, waiting has become a haven, a rich retreat I'm invited to experience, filled with lavish revelations and savory discoveries" I want that!! I will think on that - thank you for changing my perspective on waiting tonight - Anyway, I am still hoping to find a pair of shorts I love and feel good in- I hope you can find some too!. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-51999963442808364152016-06-08T16:39:03.991-04:002016-06-08T16:39:03.991-04:00Hi Trudy,

The shirt is perfect for my little dress-form-mannequin -- I think she would love wearing it! :) Oh I'm so glad I have you joining me in the capri-wear too! I laughed at your friend telling you that you wear too much black since that is also what my sister always tells me -- she wants me to buy colorful shirts but I think I'm just classical monochromatic (how's that for a made-up label??) :) xoValerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-69864283487367242702016-06-08T16:32:06.019-04:002016-06-08T16:32:06.019-04:00Hi Carly,

I'm bossy too (and she says I bossed her as a child) but somehow she knows me better than I do myself! Waiting well is a hard practice but somehow we always have plenty of opportunity to change the way we do it, don't we, since almost all of us are waiting for something!Valerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-78656838905320214832016-06-08T16:27:32.875-04:002016-06-08T16:27:32.875-04:00Hi Linda,

So...Hi Valerie, thanks for visiting my blog today. Sorry I wasn't able to get here earlier. I enjoyed your post- I really like the Wanderlust T-shirt so I think you should wear it again (and wear shorts too if you want to!) I agree that it's easy to get rules fixed in our minds about certain things and sometimes it's good to stop and look at these again.Carlyhttp://lifeinthespaciousplace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-31989497356898318392016-06-08T13:33:46.162-04:002016-06-08T13:33:46.162-04:00I'm still laughing at this :) My best friend t...I'm still laughing at this :) My best friend tells me every time we shop together that she doesn't like me in black-- but I gravitate towards it! (I'm actually wearing a black shirt today... shhhh, don't tell her! LOL) But sometimes we do benefit from another's outside view... the see things in us and about us that maybe we're just not noticing in ourselves. ♥ And I'm so glad you're bending/breaking some of your long held rules with help from a little heavenly perspective. I feel them all-- especially the waiting well part... Walking through it with you today girl! (though not in shorts either... just capri leggings..haha) Much ♥♥♥ to you!! And i might break that rule too and wear the t-shirt again-- it's super cute! Or maybe it might be a good summer look for your mannequin?? ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-25152868590851661942016-06-08T13:16:06.663-04:002016-06-08T13:16:06.663-04:00I agree with Linda: go ahead & wear the shorts...I agree with Linda: go ahead & wear the shorts! Of course, for myself, a nice pair of capris are my lifesavers! :) I am so thankful that God shows us where we've set up our own versions of the rule-game. HIS Ways are so much better! But why then does it take me so long sometimes to remember this very thing you expressed so well: "It's God, not us, who can make all things new and bring what’s dead to life again."

Wear those shorts or Wanderlust shirt or whatever you feel comfortable in. :) I love what you write about the rules we believe in but need to be broken. This line especially drew me in - "When we wait, with our eyes hopeful and our hearts expectant, wanting God's yes and realizing that it might be no, it takes tenacity and tender strength to open our vulnerable selves to him, not weakness." So very true. Blessings and hugs to you!
