Many
of us are familiar with what I will refer to as "Pinterest Syndrome."
"What
is Pinterest Syndrome?" You ask. It's the feeling you get after trying something
off a board you've been hoarding away for months, only to find out...yeah...it
looks nothing like that picture!
I
had this recently! We tried making some fried cheese sticks off Pinterest, let's
just leave it with; they turned into a heap of cheese covered in almond flour.
Period. Moving on...
Pinterest
is a great place to be "pin-spired," but honestly, sometimes it just leaves
you with Pinterest Syndrome. Feelings of inadequacy and frustration easily
surface in our lives. Unlike Pinterest, God never gives you a picture of
something to accomplish, without the strength to follow through and complete it.
Sometimes it can feel impossible in the midst of struggles and difficulties to
believe that God can give us strength. If we're to rely on feelings alone, you
can bet we'll fail! But remember, with God, all things are possible! You no
longer have to experience Pinterest Syndrome in life, dream big with God and
complete His "picture" of your life.
Have
you ever had "Pinterest Syndrome?"
And
in case you're curious:

So pretty... and I really want to encourage you! I can SEE the difference in you since you've started THM. I always thought you were a lovely young woman, but if losing weight is something that is making you feel healthier and happier, I just wanted you to know that the change is visible and you look wonderful! :-) I'm actually doing my own "version" of THM. Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteYeeeeaaaaahhhhhh... I know I've suffered from wanting a Pinterest life at times. :-) Thankfully God gives us each our own style (not just in clothes, but in life!) and creativity. Not every outfit I wear or day-to-day housework should be on the internet (I'm just sayin'... I have my sweatpants and dirty-kitchen days).
God bless, my friend!

You are looking very slim and this is a really flattering outfit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dress! I like how you layered it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have Pinterest (so far) but I've tried my share of recipes from magazines and cook books that turned out disheartening. ;) Thanks for the reminder of the Lord's faithfulness!

I made fried cheese sticks a couple of years ago too! It turned out flat and unevenly coated :-( I know how that is. I wish I could do it all over. I think I'll be better, but I won't make anything fried anymore because of health reasons.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress!
Seriously this is one of my all-time favorite outfits of yours Natasha! I love the print and your accessories! you look so fabulous! And I can totally see results of your THM lifestyle. You look so amazingly toned and slim. :) And taller too, haha. :D
