Psalms 91:1-16

^{Psalms 91:1-16 NIV}

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

² I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust." 

³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
       and from the deadly pestilence. 

⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
       and under his wings you will find refuge;
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
       ten thousand at your right hand,
       but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
       no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
       to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
       so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
       I will be with him in trouble,
       I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
       and show him my salvation."

**A friend suggested this verse. It shows how the Lord is always with us!**

1 Peter 3:3-5

1 Peter 3:3-5 NIV
3-Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
4-Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
5-For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful.

**It is fine to look beautiful, but it is what is on the inside what really counts!**

The Must-Haves for Winter-Modest Dressing

The Must-Haves for Winter

Modest Dressing
The Must-Haves for Winter
I’m all about trying new things. New types of clothes, accessories, and new make-up or hygiene applications. After searching high and low for a great top ten list for you, I’ve found it! Here are the must-haves for this winter!

10. Stockings
(These are great! You can get cheap, cute pairs of stockings at Target to mix and match great outfits)
9. Bigelow and Co. chap stick from Bath and Body Works
(Minty and shimmery, it’s good for your lips too!)
8. Listerine Whitening Mouthwash
This mouthwash not only kills germs, but it whitens your teeth with foaming action.
7. Suave hair products
Want to have amazing hair without spending a lot? Try Suave! Their products work amazingly well and are insanely cheap.
6. Ballet Flats
These look great with a pair of tights or jeans! They are a comfortable option for dressy, cute shoes.
5. Purses from Target
It’s always nice to have a cute handbag now and then. Best place to hit the sales? Try Target!
4. Vintage Jewelry
Vintage jewelry looks great with most outfits. Plus, you can adjust the look of the jewelry to your personal style, depending on your outfit. I’ve found that Maurices and Target have good sales. Otherwise, check to see if you have a mom, aunt, or grandmother that has unwanted jewelry. The jewelry styles of their eras are coming back!
3. Cardigans
Cardigans are a great way to layer and mix and match your outfits. They can create endless possibilities for your wardrobe.
2. Boots
Boots come in at number two on our list! There are tons of amazing boot styles out there. There is a boot that fits your unique personality and fashion style. I suggest checking out DSW and Payless.
1. Scarves
Oh, yes, Ladies! Coming in at number one is SCARVES!!! WOO HOO!!! I’m not talking your normal winter scarf. I’m talking cute, sassy scarves for your outfit! You can find scarves in lace, cotton, and most fabrics. I encourage you to find expressive scarves that show who you are as an individual! For these, it’s sometimes worth checking out the little boutiques downtown.

Hopefully this list helps guide your thinking during the snowy season!

Be wise. Be thrifty! Check your own closet to see what you have that you haven’t used in a while. Maybe your mom or your sister has something that will work for you! But don’t forget to ask their permission to use their things… Thrift stores or second hand stores may yield treasures you don’t expect, too!

Freshen Up, French Style!

Freshen Up, French Style!
How do the French stay beautiful? Would you believe me if I told you that their make-up tip was to wear barely-there makeup? It’s true! French style makeup consists of fresh, clean skin. Smoothen out your skin with a touch of foundation and powder. Then add on a peach coat of lip-gloss. Voila! Instant natural beauty! If you insist on eye-makeup, add a bit of mascara to make your eyes pop.

According to Laura Mercier, a French creator of a line of cosmetics and skin care, “It really astonishes me the way American women wear so much makeup. In America, even teenage girls are overly made-up. And when you are overly made-up, you send out the message that you are overly sexual, that you want to be visible to attract men.” What does this mean for JOY girls? It means that you are, and always have been, beautiful just the way you are! Make-up doesn’t make you beautiful. It is your shinning personality! Let your natural, God-given beauty show!
