Storing Your Wedding Dress Before & After Your Wedding Day

One of the biggest days in your life is your wedding day! You spent time perfecting every little detail, down to the last button on your dress. Preserve and protect your wedding dress by keeping it in a preservation box. Our wedding dress storage boxes come in a variety of styles and shapes. Choose from subtle sophistication with our acid-free corrugated line or choose brightness and colour with our decorative handmade line. Protecting the moments in your life that mean so much to you is what creating a family story is all about.

How To Store A Wedding Dress Before The Wedding

Now that you’ve purchased your wedding dress, your first task is to keep it in perfect condition until your wedding day. This begins in the bridal shop the moment you buy your dress. Begin by asking them their policy on keeping the dress in the store. Most places will offer to keep it until closer to your wedding day, and if that is an option, you should always take them up on it. They know how to store wedding dresses, and will be your best bet of keeping it clean and pristine until you walk down the aisle.

Storing at home

If keeping your wedding dress at the bridal shop is not an option, your next most important step is keeping it safe from anything that could stain, wrinkle, stretch, or discolour it. The first and the most important thing you can do is keep it in the garment bag provided to you by the bridal shop. Do not remove the dress for the bag or replace it with a different bag. Wrapping it in a cheap plastic garment cover will trap any moisture and creates the perfect environment for mould and mildew to grow. It may also emit fumes that will yellow your gown over time. To avoid this, keep your dress in its high-quality garment bag, away from direct sunlight.

The next step is to lay your dress (in its bag) completely flat. This is more optimal than hanging it, as it prevents any stretching to the fabric or seams. It will also help avoid creasing or wrinkles. If you do not have space to lay the dress flat, you should only hang it by the loops, not the sleeves or straps. If you are uncertain, ask the bridal shop for suggestions on how to store your wedding dress.

You should never store your dress in your garage or attic. The constant changing of temperatures and inconsistent humidity can ruin the fabric and cause discolouration. Instead, make sure to store it in a dry, dark, and cool environment where humidity is at or under 50%.

Wait until your wedding day

Avoid trying on your dress or showing it off before your wedding. You should wait until the very last second to put it on. Constantly trying it on or showing it off predisposes it to the oil and bacteria on your hands. If you are trying it on, you may accidentally get makeup, water, or even your perfume on the dress. This can all lead to discolouration and a less-than-perfect dress on your wedding day. It’s easy to get tempted, but it’s best to keep it in the garment bag.

How To Store A Wedding Dress After The Wedding

Now that your wedding is over, you have a very short window of time before the stains in your dress set in and it is beyond repair. Most brides wait a few weeks before they take their dress in to be cleaned and preserved, but that leaves it vulnerable to stains you may not even know are there. The best way to ensure your wedding dress stays in perfect quality is to take it off immediately after the reception and take it in to get cleaned the day after your wedding. If you are leaving for your honeymoon immediately, arrange for your mom or maid of honour to take it in for you.

Be aware of the invisible stains. Even if you don’t see stains on your dress, many clear stains like white wine will appear over time. Anything with sugars will begin to caramelize in heat. In just 6 months, those stains will begin to yellow, and as time goes on, they will begin to brown. Unfortunately, dry cleaning will not be able to reverse the damage of these stains. Other things like perspiration and perfumes can be invisible at first but reveal themselves over time.

Many brides opt to not get their wedding dresses professionally cleaned or preserved. Some try to clean their dresses themselves, which may permanently damage the dress if not done right. Most dresses have specific cleaning instructions on them, and professionals will be better equipped to clean them according to the specific needs of the fabric. If you don’t preserve your dress, you risk yellowing of fabric, oxidation, mould, mildew, and permanent fabric creasing. To avoid this, you’ll need to do your research before your wedding to find the right company to clean and preserve your wedding dress.

Wedding Dress Cleaning and Preservation

Professional wedding dress preservation will protect your dress for more long-term storage. The process begins with an experienced specialist assessing your gown. They will create a plan for the treatment of your dress depending on its fabric, embellishments, stitching, and damage. From there, they will gently remove any stains and even make small repairs. They will then press or steam your dress, wrap it, and store it. Since wedding dress preservation companies specialize in wedding dresses, you are less likely to encounter any damage to your dress throughout the process. That said, you should follow the same precautions as with a cleaner by checking their insurance policies. You should also check how long they guarantee that the dress will be preserved.

When storing your wedding dress, you will likely have these options to choose from:

In this option, you will leave your dress hanging and unfolded. This prevents permanent creasing in the fabric. The gown will likely get reinforced to prevent damage from long-term hanging.

When you store your wedding dress in a box, always fold acid-free tissue paper between the dress. You should store it in an acid-free preservation box to avoid damage to the dress and allow it to breathe. This is a good option if you plan to access it often.

If a less permanent storage option appeals to you, then buy special storage boxes. Buy an acid-free storage box. You can have the box personalized with your name or a special message. They send packing instructions, wraps and a box with a large viewing window. You can choose boxes with no windows, but the containers do offer protection from dust and fingerprints. With these kinds of boxes, you can open your gown at any time to examine it.

Vacuum Sealing

Some preservation companies will vacuum seal your dress before placing it in a box. If you choose this method, you should make sure they replace the oxygen with nitrogen to prevent oxidation from occurring. While this method saves space, it can create permanent creases and wrinkles in the dress and may lead to mould and mildew.

Click here for more information on why we don't recommend Vacuum Sealing your wedding dress.

Garment Bags

Garment bags are the easiest storage option and the least expensive. You can purchase a wedding dress garment bag. Each bag has a wide gusset and long length to accommodate even the fullest dress.

At-home care

Once you take your wedding dress home, you should store it somewhere dark, cool, and dry. You will want to avoid any humid areas, or anywhere that has inconsistent temperatures. Many people choose to store their wedding dresses in climate-controlled storage units. These units have consistent humidity and temperature and are protected from pests and dust.

You should revisit your dress every 2-3 years to inspect and refold it. This will help prevent any permanent creasing or wrinkles and will allow you to catch any stains or damage that may have developed. You should always wash your hands before handling your dress to remove any oils or bacteria. Do not wear any lotions or perfumes. If you are nervous about stains, invest in a pair of white cotton gloves to wear while handling.

Handy Wedding Dress Storage Tips

If your wedding dress preservation specialist hasn't already packed your dress for you, keep these storage tips in mind:

Clean Your Gown Before Storage

Make sure your dress is professionally cleaned. Just because your dress looked clean to you when you took it off doesn't mean this is the case. Further examination may unearth dirt and stains. These stains can darken and become permanent if not dealt with quickly. Your dry cleaner or wedding dress preservation specialist will know exactly what to look for and which chemicals and solvents work best for a particular fabric.

Storage Materials and Location

Make sure you select the right storage materials and spot to preserve your dress.

  • Don't use a wire hanger to hang your dress. Not only can it rust, but it can cause the fabric to tear. If you must hang your dress, hang it by the loops. Keep in mind that if a heavy dress hangs for too long, the fabric can tear under the weight of it all.
  • Never store your wedding dress in plastic. When plastic breaks down, it emits chemicals that can react with your dress and cause permanent damage.
  • Before packaging your wedding dress, wrap it in acid-free tissue paper for extra protection. Don't use coloured tissue paper as it can eventually bleed onto the fabric.
  • If you'll be storing your dress in a wooden box, especially a cedar box, make sure there are layers of fabric or acid-free tissue paper between the wood and the dress. The acid in the wood will permanently stain the dress.
  • There's no such thing as completely acid-free cardboard. If you're packing your wedding dress in a cardboard box, even if it's touted as being acid-free, you'll have to change the box every five years or so.
  • Store your dress in a cool, dry place. Basements aren't ideal for wedding dress storage because they're damp and can encourage mould. Storing the dress where it's exposed to heat or sunlight will cause it to turn yellow. Your best bet is to store the dress in a closet.

We have a wide range of wedding dress box options.

Air the Stored Dress Out Occasionally

Every now and then you should remove your wedding dress from storage and hang it in the fresh air. This will allow the fabric to breathe, making it less susceptible to mildew. Make sure that you wash your hands first and do not wear anything on your skin such as lotions, makeup, hair dyes that leak or nail polish. To reseal the dress, you will either need to have a preservationist place it back in the box with newspaper and vacuum seal it, or use DIY supplies.

If you're not sure where to start, we've outlined the basics of wedding dress storage below so that you can make an educated purchase and protect your beautiful wedding gown for years to come.

The first decision you'll want to make is whether you're looking for short term storage (less than a year) or long term storage (up to 30 years). If you only want to store your gown for a short time (maybe you're selling it or are waiting to tackle the preservation process), a high-quality garment bag is enough.

Look for thick fabrics that won't rip or tear, pH neutral fabrics, or bags made of muslin which is commonly used for textile preservation.

If you're looking for long term storage, you'll need to purchase a box or bag made specifically for wedding dress storage. You'll also need a large amount of acid-free tissue paper, which you'll place both inside and outside your dress to preserve the shape and protect it against the elements (dust, moths, moisture, light, etc.).

Proper preservation and storage will allow you to wear the wedding gown again at a special anniversary event, pass it on to a daughter, or save it as an heirloom or special memory of the wedding. Saving your dress will protect your investment and save sweet memories. When the big day is over and the honeymoon is behind you, don't forget these wedding dress tips for storing your dress.

If the process sounds too overwhelming to tackle on your own, a few companies will handle the wedding dress preservation for you. We've included two options below where you can simply ship you dress and receive it back within a few weeks, preserved and ready for storage.

Here’s what the Micheal Reese redevelopment could look like

The vacant Bronzeville site has entertained its fair share of grandiose proposals

Megadevelopments like Lincoln Yards and The 78 might have dominated the headlines in recent months, but a plan for the multiphase redevelopment of Bronzeville’s sprawling Michael Reese hospital site is also coming into focus.

It’s been a long time coming for the Near South Side parcel which saw its namesake hospital was demolished more than a decade ago. Despite its proximity to McCormick Place, Interstate 55, and 31st Street beach, the 100-acre site has remained vacant and fenced off.

In a recent interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, departing Chicago Planning and Development Commissioner David Reifman expressed regret about the lack of progress at the Michael Reese site and alluded to a long-term plan to construct a new soccer stadium for the Chicago Fire.

The office of 4th Ward Alderman Sophia King says it hasn’t discussed any stadiums just yet, but it did post conceptual plans showing what the first phase of the Reese redevelopment could look like.

The latest proposal for Michael Reese

At a town hall meeting hosted by Alderman King in April, a team led by Chicago-based Farpoint Development shared new details and updated renderings of the Micheal Reese redevelopment proposal with the community.

Clustered around the corner of 31st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, the phase one vision includes affordable housing for seniors and artists, a life sciences facility, a data center, retail space, public plazas, performance venues, art installations, and the adaptive reuse of the Singer Pavilion—the most prominent surviving structure from the demolished hospital complex.

4th Ward Chicago
The developers plan to repurpose the existing Singer Pavilion structure.

“This was an early attempt to put together a plan based on concerns and feedback collected from neighbors and the alderman’s community advisory committee,” Alderman King’s chief of staff Prentice Butler told Curbed. “It’s important to Alderman King that community voices are being heard and represented at the beginning of the process, not the middle.”

Among the recommendations were the desire for affordable housing and art that reflects the cultural legacy of the neighborhood (which explains the Ida B. Wells mural). Future phases would extend to vacant lots to the north, west, and east and call for an improved Metra stop and restored street grid.

Butler stressed that April’s town hall presentation represents an early vision and that the development team must still take control of the site and navigate the city’s approval process before any work can begin. Farpoint Development could not be reached for comment.

An aerial overview of the Phase 1 conceptual plan.

There’s a thoughtful community-driven approach and practical scale, which makes this plan far different from some of the more grandiose schemes that have been proposed for the city-owned site since Michael Reese Hospital was demolished a decade ago.

Here’s what else was planned for Michael Reese

After acquiring the site in 2008, the administration of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley planned to use the parcel as the Olympic village as part of the Windy City’s bid for the 2016 games. Chicago lost the event to Rio de Janeiro in 2009 and the Bronzeville site sat fallow.

In 2014, the Reese site was shown as a potential site for the Barack Obama Presidential Center. The project, however, eventually settled on a more controversial location further south in Chicago’s Jackson Park where a lawsuit continues to delay construction.

City of Chicago

That same year, critics of the lakefront location of the proposed Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts suggested the Reese Site as a possible alternative, but the city gave it little serious consideration. Caught in the middle of a legal battle between the city and parks’ activists, the Lucas Museum ditched Chicago in favor of Los Angeles.

By 2016, the City of Chicago was ready to get the Reese property off its hands and started a search for a private developer. Mayor Emanuel presented the 49-acre former hospital site and the adjacent 28-acre truck marshaling yards as “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to transform the Near South Side.

The city selected the Farpoint-led team to serve as Reese’s master redeveloper in 2017. The official announcement was short on specific details, but said the plan could include a logistics center, an event space, and more than 5 million square feet of commercial and residential development.

The sudden frenzy surrounding Amazon’s HQ2 search led the developer to super-size its vision for the Michael Reese site—rebranded the Burnham Lakefront—to between 8 million to 14 million square feet. Designed by architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the renderings showed new high-rise towers, public plazas, and landscaped bridges reaching across the rail tracks and Lake Shore Drive.

The ambitious 2017 Burnham Lakefront plan was aimed at attracting large corporate tenants—namely Amazon.

Amazon passed over Chicago for its second headquarters, but multiple megadevelopments that had hoped to attract the tech giant—Lincoln Yards, The 78, and the River District—forged ahead to secure zoning change and controversial tax increment financing (TIF) deals during the final days of the Emanuel administration.

The Michael Reese project, however, seems to be deliberately taking its time. “We are trying to avoid the experience of Lincoln Yards,” Farpoint’s Scott Goodman said in April at a panel discussion hosted by The Real Deal. “We’re trying to solve for a lot of those problems up front.”

Buyer Found For Jamaica Beverages

Jamaica Beverages Limited, JBL, the insolvent manufacturer of juice and milk products that was put up for sale last November, has found a buyer.

Wilfred Baghaloo, a director of PricewaterhouseCoopers Jamaica who was appointed as JBL trustee three years ago, told the Financial Gleaner that they are advanced in finalising the sale, but could not say more due to confidential agreements.

The trustees received seven bids for the business last year, but the selection process was slowed due largely to the outbreak of COVID-19 in March.

Jamaica Beverages’ business and assets were put up for sale in November 2019 to settle a court-awarded judgment amounting to US$4.5 million, following the attempted robbery of an employee who was shot on a property owned by the company in Montego Bay, St James, and paralysed in four limbs. The trustees were looking to fetch at least US$4.5 million from the sale of the business, equivalent to the court award.

Homeruns or No Runs

We have to give it our best.

Every time we choose to do less than we could, or less than we should, we softly hurt our self-confidence.    What makes this so dangerous however is its subtlety. We don’t even know we hurting ourselves, so we continue to do less than our best. The disciplines that are the easiest to do…are also the easiest ones not to do.

What seems like a little harmless decision in the present, comes with a cumulative effect.  Repeated every day, we soon find ourselves not just doing less each day, we find ourselves actually becoming less each day.  Having low self-confidence, or being insecure, is like being fat.  We don’t see ourselves getting fatter each day right? We just wake up one day and we are fat!

On the other side, every time we choose labor over rest, or action over chillin’, we develop an increasing sense of self worth. As we give it our best, even if the results are not good, we grow. We become more valuable.  We have to do the work.  We cannot think ourselves into a new way of living. We must live ourselves into a new way of thinking.

Imagine how different our world it would be if we made a commitment to put into action all that we currently are, wherever we currently are, and with whatever we currently have.  Not only does giving 100% help those around us, but more importantly it makes us grow closer towards the person we want to be.  It makes us more valuable in the marketplace.

It’s not what we acquire throughout our lifetime that makes us more valuable. It is what we become in the process of acquiring these things, that makes us more valuable.

If you want more than you got, you need to become more than you are.

This Movie Blog Rises 2014

You get it? It was a play on the Dark Knight Tri….oh never mind.

I’ve been away too long. I’ve missed it. My job paid me a small bonus and took everything out of me. Well I’m not on that particular position anymore. Time to get back to me and what I like.

So this post is to announce the return of my movie blog. No challenge this time to watch a certain number of films. Just me sharing my thoughts. Remember I don’t do movie reviews. Too many of those on the internet. My thoughts are the more practical aspects of movie watching circa 2014.

So put on your seat belt. The one with the million opinions and observations is back at what he does best. Sharing his opinions.

You don’t wanna miss this!

Here are some links to some of my favorite posts the first time around:

The Dark Knight Rises Revisited: Follow Up Questions

One thing inevitable following a summer blockbuster movie is, once it’s released on dvd, movie buffs like me will watch it to death.

This is especially true if the film left an impression on you when you saw it in the theater. I remember when my favorite movie Inception was released on dvd. In an era where dvd’s will almost always come with a digital copy for your phone and/or tablet, I literally watched it everyday for the first two weeks. It was so complex that every time I watched it again I saw something I hadn’t seen before.

That’s the beauty of movies. Good movies at least. So once The Dark Knight Rises hit the shelves, I got my copy and have watched it several times since.

Previously, when I saw it in the theater, I said that Rises was better than Dark Knight. I revise that stance. The Dark Knight was better than Rises, although I still contend that Batman Begins was better than both of them.

Anyway, here are follow up questions, comments, and observations I have from watching this movie a few times:

  • Why was it said that the Dent Act was based on a lie, when everything Harvey Dent stood for before he turned in to Two Face was truly about catching criminals? The act wasn’t called the Two Face Act, it was called the Dent Act.
  • At the beginning of the film, right after Selina Kyle steals the pearls from the safe, why did Alfred ask Bruce “why were you dusting for fingerprints sir?”? Um, isn’t that a dumb question to ask after you’ve just been robbed?
  • I’ve watched and listened intently several times to Blake’s speech to Bruce about how he knew he was Batman and I still don’t get how he knew he was Batman. The speech gave no definitive answer.
  • Speaking of which, Blake got in the house after Alfred told him Bruce doesn’t take unscheduled guests by asking, “If I get a warrant investigating the death of Harvey Dent, does that still count as unscheduled?”. Uh, yeah! Get the warrant! Batman did nothing wrong and it had been eight years. He should never have been able to get in the house on a hypothetical.
  • Shouldn’t Alfred had already been at the restaurant in Venice since he quit months ago? He just happen to be there when Bruce was there months later after the whole fiasco?
  • Is it just me or did “Catwoman” (who was never called Catwoman in the movie) seem to be more like Batgirl in the second half of the movie? Catwoman was supposed to be a nemesis of Batman. Or am I missing something?
  • I only counted about four Batman sightings in a movie that was nearly three hours, including his first appearance not coming until around the 45 minute mark. I guess that could be argued as the point, that Batman/Bruce was going through some things. But in a movie advertised as a Batman movie, it was kinda disappointing.
  • One of the questions that came about frequently on the internet around the release of the movie was how did Bruce get back to Gotham so fast after escaping the prison. But I don’t think that’s a problem. In the scene before he escapes, Fox states that the bomb will go off in 23 days. Then Bruce escapes the prison. Then a couple of scenes later, they state the bomb will go off in 11 hours. There’s a maximum of three weeks between escaping prison and returning to Gotham.
  • Another frequent question online was how did he have time/the means to create that Batman logo on the side of the building using gas. This one is a better question. I have no idea. The only thing I can think of he used the Batpod. But even then, he just happened to have disposable gas handy to spray in a pattern?
  • Why is it when Blake got that cop out of the tunnel (presumably his partner), Bane’s men shot the cop but then walked up to Blake and asked him “who are you”? Then one of them pushes him down a pile of debris which is when Batman shows up in the nick of time. Why shoot the other cop but not Blake? That was too obvious. The argument can’t be that you can’t kill a main character. Remember Rachel? Blake served little purpose, particularly toward the end of the movie, besides the whole middle name irony (Robin). Think about it. How much did he actually accomplish in the movie? He was always a step behind everything.
  • While Batman Begins was the best of the trilogy, Bane was clearly the best villain, both my humble opinions. Bane had the entire City on lock down for months. I get the reason for Batman’s one rule of not using guns, but at what point do you figure facing your death is better than changing your morals? Even at that, technically Batman did nothing to end the madness. If it weren’t for Catwoman/Batgirl, he’d be dead. After all that work to get out of the prison, he would have died anyway because he refused to blast the monster to pieces. He also wasn’t involved when Miranda Tate was killed.

Still, I don’t think the movie was horrible. There were just too many questions so it got moved to rank #3 of the trilogy.

We will still miss this interpretation of the Caped Crusader, all of which blew every film of the previous four Batman films. If Christopher Nolan changed his mind and came out with The Dark Knight Rises One Mo Time, we’d all be there with bells on opening night.

Several places in the New Testament speak of being sober-minded (1 Peter 4:75:8Titus 2:261 Corinthians 15:34). In 2 Timothy 4:5, Paul exhorts Timothy to be “sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (ESV). The term sober-minded literally means “free from intoxicating influences.” We speak of a person who is not drunk with alcohol or high on drugs as being “sober.” His or her mind is not under the control of a dangerous outside force.

More broadly, being sober-minded means that we do not allow ourselves to be captivated by any type of influence that would lead us away from sound judgment. The sober-minded individual is not “intoxicated,” figuratively speaking, and is therefore calm under pressure, self-controlled in all areas, and rational. Other translations of 2 Timothy 4:5 render Paul’s instruction to Timothy as “keep your head” (NIV), “keep a clear mind” (NLT), and “exercise self-control” (CSB).

One of the qualifications for an elder or church leader is that they and their wives be sober-minded (1 Timothy 3:211Titus 1:8). That is, they should live in reverential awe of their responsibility as representatives of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). Peter warned that “the end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers” (1 Peter 4:7, ESV). Those who are sober-minded will be alert to the need to pray and take the occasion to pray at opportune times.

More often than not, we see the opposite of sober-mindedness displayed in our world. Silliness, irresponsible choices, foolish experimentation with harmful substances or behaviors, and crude joking are in direct opposition to the command to be sober-minded. Ephesians 5:3–4 lists some behaviors that conflict with sober-minded living: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place.” Then, in case someone should think this is a list of judgmental preferences, Paul goes on to write the following: “For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them” (Ephesians 5:5–7).

Being sober-minded does not mean living a sour, joyless existence. In fact, sober-minded Christians are to be continually filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22Acts 15:32Romans 14:17). Eliminating foolishness, frivolity, and mind-numbing silliness from our lives allows us to focus on what is real, eternal, and inspiring. Jesus’ command to His sleepy-headed disciples suggests the need for sober-mindedness: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation” (Mark 14:38).

Ephesians 5:18 commands us to avoid being filled with wine, because that leads to debauchery, but rather to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. This verse implies that we can only be one of those, but not both. It’s an either/or proposition. If we pursue drunkenness, we cannot also pursue God. If substances control us, we cannot also be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Sober-minded people choose to abstain from practices that would lead them into sin.

In Romans 13:12–14, Paul explains the urgency behind the frequent commands to be sober-minded: “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” And that is a good description of being sober-minded.

Prophet Nathan Emol

Discipline is defined as “training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior.” Discipline is not part of the sin nature, but it is a natural component of the Christian life. In fact, almost nothing of any significance in our lives is ever accomplished without it. Spiritual disciplines can be described as those behaviors that augment our spiritual growth and enable us to grow to spiritual maturity. This process of spiritual growth and development begins to take place the moment a person encounters the risen Christ and comes to Him for salvation.

The purpose of spiritual discipline is the development of our inner being, that which has been transformed by Christ at salvation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Redeemed believers have experienced the total renewal of the whole person from within, involving differences in thought, feeling and character that may be slower to be evident in our outward behavior. This is what Paul had in mind when he spoke of taking off the “old self” and putting on the new, “which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator” (Colossians 3:9-10).

There are a number of popular programs and books today on the spiritual disciplines, but some go too far from Scripture in an effort to outline various methods of disciplining oneself. Some of these methods border on the mystical and the extra-biblical, sometimes delving into areas of Eastern mysticism, Catholic mysticism, and New Age philosophy. Out of this movement has come such unbiblical practices as “hearing” the voice of God and breathing/soaking/contemplative prayer. The best way to avoid error in the understanding of spiritual disciplines is to stick with clear scriptural mandates given to all Christians to immerse ourselves in the Word of God wherein God speaks to us, and in prayer, whereby we speak to Him.

The foremost of the disciplines is that involving the Word of God and constitutes the reading, study, memorization, and meditation of Scripture. If this discipline is neglected, no other effort to discipline ourselves will be successful because we simply do not have the power to overcome the resistance of the sin nature in which our new natures reside. Nor do we have the power to overcome the resistance of demonic influences whose aim is always to separate us from the only means of spiritual growth, the Word of God. Paul reminded Timothy of the inherent nature of Scripture, that it is literally from the mouth of God, i.e. “God-breathed,” and, as such, contains the very power of God. He also refers to the gospel as the very “power of God” (Romans 1:16) and exhorts Christians to take up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” as our only offensive spiritual weapon against demonic forces (Ephesians 6:17). We must begin any effort at spiritual discipline with the only source of power, the Word of God.

Scripture memorization is also essential. We always have the freedom to choose what we place in our minds. With that in mind, memorization is vital. If we truly believe that the Bible is the Word of God, how can we not memorize it? Memorization enables us to keep it constantly in the forefront of our minds, and that makes it possible to react to all life circumstances according to its precepts. One of the most powerful passages of Scripture regarding the necessity of memorization is found in Joshua 1:8: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” It is through the discipline of memorization that we are enabled to pray more effectively and to meditate. This in turn enables us to “be prosperous and successful” as God defines “success” for us. When we are walking in His ways and in His will, we are imbued with a new Spirit-filled inner being, one with a heart like God’s.

The second discipline is that of prayer. Our prayers are a spiritual communion with God through means of thanksgiving, adoration, supplication, petition, and confession. The wonderful thing about prayer is that God meets us where we are. He comes alongside us to lead us into a deeper, more real relationship with Him, not motivated by guilt, but driven by His love. Prayer changes us. Prayer changes lives. Prayer changes history. Our knowing God really makes us want to conform to Jesus and His will for our lives. God slowly and graciously reveals Himself to us while we pray, and it is during those moments that we can more deeply understand and experience His love. Of course, one of the major outcomes of disciplined prayer is answered prayer. But, in all truth, that is secondary to the real purpose of prayer which is an ever-growing, unending communion with God.

Taken together, the spiritual disciplines of prayer and the Word will provide us with a rewarding program which will lead to godly living, praise, submission, service and celebration of our salvation and the God who provided it. Through these disciplines, we are enabled to obey God’s command to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:12-13).

Prophet Nathan Emol

Faith and fear cannot exist together. Faith is described in Hebrews 11:1 as being “certain of what we do not see.” It is an absolute belief that God is constantly working behind the scenes in every area of our lives, even when there is no tangible evidence to support that fact. On the other hand, fear, simply stated, is unbelief or weak belief. As unbelief gains the upper hand in our thoughts, fear takes hold of our emotions. Our deliverance from fear and worry is based on faith, which is the very opposite of unbelief. We need to understand that faith is not something that we can produce in ourselves. Faith is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9), and faithfulness is described as a fruit (or characteristic) that is produced in our lives by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). The Christian’s faith is a confident assurance in a God who loves us, who knows our thoughts, and who cares about our deepest needs. That faith continues to grow as we study the Bible and learn the attributes of His amazing character. The more we learn about God, the more we can see Him working in our lives and the stronger our faith grows.

A growing faith is what we desire to have and what God desires to produce in us. But how, in day-to-day life, can we develop a faith that conquers our fears? The Bible says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). The careful study of God’s Word is of primary importance in developing a strong faith. God wants us to know Him and completely rely on His direction in our lives. It’s through the hearing, reading, and meditation in the Scriptures that we begin to experience a strong, confident faith that excludes worry and fear. Spending time in prayer and quiet worship develops a relationship with our heavenly Father that sees us through even the darkest of nights. In the Psalms we see a picture of David, who, like us, experienced times of fear. Psalm 56:3 reveals his faith with these words: “When I am afraid, I will trust in you.” Psalm 119 is filled with verses expressing the way in which David treasured God’s Word: “I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands” (verse 10); “I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways” (verse 15); “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you” (verse 11). These are revealing words which speak wisdom to us today.

God is kind and understanding toward our weaknesses, but He requires us to go forward in faith, and the Bible is clear that faith does not mature and strengthen without trials. Adversity is God’s most effective tool to develop a strong faith. That pattern is evident in Scripture. God takes each one of us through fearful situations, and, as we learn to obey God’s Word and allow it to saturate our thoughts, we find each trial becomes a stepping stone to a stronger and deeper faith. It gives us that ability to say, “He sustained me in the past, he’ll carry me through today and he’ll uphold me in the future!” God worked this way in David’s life. When David volunteered to fight against Goliath, he said, “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine” (1 Samuel 17:37). David knew the God who had sustained him through dangerous situations in the past. He had seen and experienced God’s power and protection in his life, and this developed within him a fearless faith.

The Word of God is rich with promises for us to take hold of and claim for ourselves. When we face financial trouble, Philippians 4:19 tells us, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” If we are anxious about a future decision, Psalm 32:8 reminds us that God will “instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” In sickness we can remember that Romans 5:3–5 says, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” If someone turns against us, we can be comforted by the words in Romans 8:31, “If God is for us who can be against us!” Throughout life we will continue to face various trials that would cause us fear, but God assures us that we can know a calm peace through every situation: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

Prophet Nathan Emol

Solid decision-making begins by discerning the will of God. God delights in revealing His will to those who are eager to follow His precepts (Psalm 33:18; Psalm 35:27; Psalm 147:11). Our attitude towards decision-making should be that of Jesus Himself who affirmed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42; Matthew 6:10).

God reveals His will to us primarily in two ways. First, through His Spirit: “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come” (John 16:13; see also 1 John 2:20, 27). And, second, God reveals His will through His Word: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105; see also Psalm 19:7-9; 2 Peter 1:19).

The process of decision-making includes making a judgment about an attitude or action. Decisions are an act of the will, and they are always influenced by the mind, the emotions, or both. The decisions we make actually reflect the desires of our heart (Psalm 119:30). Therefore, a key question before making a decision is “do I choose to please myself, or do I choose to please the Lord?” Joshua set the standard: “If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15; cf. Romans 12:2).

God sees the whole picture—the past, present, and future of our lives. He teaches and counsels us as He reveals Himself to us through His Word and Spirit. God has made this promise to us: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you” (Psalm 32:8; cf. Psalm 25:12). There will be times when God’s will may seem undesirable or unpleasant, when our heart follows our own desires instead of trusting God. But we will eventually learn that God’s will is always for our benefit (Psalm 119:67; Hebrews 12:10-11).

Again, the chief key to solid decision-making is knowing God’s will and not following the desires of our own hearts: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14:12; cf. Proverbs 12:15; Proverbs 21:2). As we put our trust in God, rather than ourselves, we soon discover what decisions are pleasing to Him.

First, God blesses those decisions that He initiates and that line up with His Word: “I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness” (Proverbs 4:11; see also Psalm 119:33). Second, God blesses decisions that accomplish His purpose and depend on His strength: “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose” (Philippians 2:13; see also Philippians 4:13).

Additionally, God blesses those decisions that result in His glory: “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). He blesses decisions that reflect His character, that promote justice, kindness and humility: “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8; see also 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Timothy 4:12). And He blesses those decisions that come from faith: “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

We must not forget God’s promise to give His children wisdom when they ask: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5; cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:17). And when we pray for wisdom, we must trust God to answer our prayer: “When he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord (James 1:6-7). Patience is important, too, as we wait for God’s timing: “After waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised” (Hebrews 6:15).

Decision-making is more difficult when it involves a painful choice. Sometimes, the right course of action will also hurt us in some way. This is where we need grace the most. Are we really willing to suffer for the glory of Christ? “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God” (1 Peter 4:1-2).

Making a decision today? Look to God’s Word for direction. Take comfort in the peace which only He can provide (Philippians 4:7). Ask for wisdom, trust His promises, and He will guide your path: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6; see also Isaiah 58:11; John 8:12).

Prophet Nathan Emol

The Bible offers many principles to aid the process of making decisions that honor God. The following list is not exhaustive, but it does represent many teachings of Scripture.

First, begin with prayer. First Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” If we should pray in all situations, we should certainly pray in times of decision-making. As we pray, we ask for wisdom (James 1:5).

Second, define the issue. Wise decisions are informed decisions. It is important to understand what options are available. Once the factors are known, options can be further considered and evaluated.

Third, seek biblical wisdom. Some decisions become easy, if there is one clear choice consonant with God’s Word. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” When we follow the teachings of God’s Word, He guides our path and provides knowledge to make wise choices.

Fourth, seek godly counsel. Proverbs 15:22 says, “Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” Sometimes, consulting with a friend or family member is enough. At other times, consulting with a pastor or other trusted voice can make the difference between a harmful decision and a helpful one.

Fifth, trust the Lord with your decision. In other words, if you’ve made your decision with prayer, sound wisdom, and biblical counsel, trust God for the outcome. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

Sixth, be willing to admit mistakes and adjust accordingly. In most cases, there is no wisdom in continuing down a wrong path after you have discovered it is wrong. Be willing to admit mistakes or failures and ask God for the grace to change.

Seventh, give praise to God for your success. When your decisions result in personal success, the temptation is to believe it is due to your own power, talent, or genius. However, it is God who blesses our efforts and gives strength. “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven” (John 3:27).

Project on Urban Heat Wins NPF Award

The National Press Foundation’s Innovative Storytelling Award has been awarded to an ambitious collaboration between NPR and the University of Maryland’s Howard Center for Investigative Journalism and Capital News Service.

The teams will receive the award at NPF’s annual journalism awards dinner on Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Washington, D.C., along with other award winners. Learn more about the NPF dinner here.

The NPF judges said: “The student journalists involved with this project literally built new tools – hardware to collect hard data – that tracked temperatures over time to get a sense of the stultifying impact of summer in the city. The brilliance of their innovation may offer early tea leaves of how innovation will drive the future of newsrooms. The ‘Code Red’ project, done in collaboration with NPR, also gave readers a peek behind the scenes to see how journalism works.”

The Innovative Storytelling Award recognizes digital journalism of the highest quality that reinvents the way stories are told. Judges take into consideration the originality of the nominated presentation, how reimagined delivery vehicles enhanced the audience’s understanding of the underlying journalism, and creativity in applying tools or technologies. The award carries a $5,000 prize.

Lucy Dalglish, dean of the university’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism, said of the award:

“This was the first major project from the Howard Center, and that it was our students competing against the top professional news organizations in the country makes this prestigious honor mean even more to Merrill College. The ‘Code Red’ project put the future of journalism on display, with its data visualizations, motion graphics and sensor technology, illustrating how young journalists can use new techniques and methods to serve communities.”

“We’re particularly proud of the way our team and the Howard Center’s journalists worked together to produce something so engaging and important,” said Robert Little, NPR’s senior investigations editor. “Collaborations like this are key to NPR’s strategy to serve its audience, and we’re excited to do more.”

The National Press Foundation is an independent nonprofit that is run by and for journalists. NPF’s sole mission is to educate practicing journalists about today’s most pressing issues and to provide critical toolbox training.

Weekend Friday Favourites

I hope you’re having a great weekend! If you’re like me, counting down the days until covid-19 lockdown restrictions end or more than anything ease up, so we can be released from our homes even if it’s to exercise only.

DSCF4258Sea sunrise colours this week

I thought again this week’s Weekend Friday Favourites, things that have caught my eye or made me smile this week would be short and sweet. However once I start, it’s like thinking what you’re grateful for or counting blessings. The list’s always larger than you think.

Less Traffic Noise

Mountain mist one morning this week

Two weeks ago Spain imposed further lockdown rules of only essential workers allowed to work helping kick start flattening the curve. I’m sure many of you know in Europe after Italy, Spain is the worst hit for covid-19 virus. Traffic in the 2 weeks leading up, was reduced as those who could work from basically had to work from home, or if in retail, hospitality etc stay at home as gyms, clothes shops, restaurants closed, has been like Christmas day. Weekend traffic’s quieter than Christmas day. From Monday the non essential workers such as construction, factory workers return to work. Everybody else stays at home as Spain starts to get back to a new normal. We’re still under lockdown! The two constructions sites nearby will be back to work and they’re noisy. I’m going to miss the less traffic, zero construction noise and better air from these past 2 weeks.

Sunrise this week

If I can I’ve been getting up early having breakfast on the balcony before my neighbours get up to soak up the quiet. Try, sometimes I’m still zzz.

Hearing Birds

DSCF0303Photos taken before lockdown

I’ve always been able to hear some birds above the traffic dim like magpies and parakeets but only if they flew at a certain heigh or a lull in the traffic. I’ve been hearing birds in the mornings during Christmas morning rush hour traffic and at the weekends song birds. It makes me so happy to hear them!

I’ve noticed too, seagulls are flying lower and a few song birds flying higher. Most seen birds are seagulls, magpies, pigeons, parakeets with the occasion wagtail, swifts or swallows and kestrel.

You never know what you’re going to find in Alcampo (Auchan in France) supermarket. While most departments are blocked off, some outdoor lights, bbq Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”

Weekend Friday Favourites

Happy Spring!

 Here comes the warm!

How are you?! I hope you’re okay!

If you’re isolating, under lockdown yet are allowed to run or cycle outside for exercise and aren’t afraid, please run and cycle outside! Here in Spain we’re under Covid-19 lockdown. We’re allowed out for food, medicine, the bank, doctors, work or to walk the dog. From Monday, Catalunya region needs a form saying where you’re going to and from. Any other reason is out. Fines are in place. So soak up the sunshine out, soak up the greenery, soak up the spring flowers I can only see from my balcony!

Cherry blossom last week. I can only imagine how much more in bloom it is

This Weekend Friday Favourites, things that have made me smile recently or caught might be a little all over the place. Some might be about what I’m grateful for now my world is vastly smaller.

Sea View

I’m thankful I have a sea view from all the windows and balconies. There’s some grey concrete jungle inbetween, but I can see nature, some greenery and trees. The weather gets rainy next week, which helps me deal with the days better. I have morning sun Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”

Weekend Friday Favourites

I hope you’re having a great weekend! If I’m honest my mood this weekend is matching the weather outside. Blah. Life throws curve balls sometimes too many at once. But this is Weekend Friday Favourites, things that have made me smile this week or caught my eye!

Okay, I feel a bit old to be wearing scrunchies as I remember them back in the 90’s. I got some back in 2018 when they first started making their comeback and left them on my dressing table brightening it up. After watching a YouTube video where a hair dermatologist recommended they were the best hairband to avoid hair breakage I was okay, let’s start wearing them again. First at home then I braved wearing them at the gym. The hair dermatologist was right! Less breakage! Now my hair is longer I’d had enough of hair ties tangling up in the ends Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”

Weekend Friday Favourites

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the first Weekend Friday Favourites of 2020! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m only just feeling I’m getting back into some sort of out of whack routine. Monday 6th was an holiday so people are still in the holidays mode. Wednesday was the first climbing class of the year and  I really thought it was Monday! My routine’s always always all over the place but I’m hoping some sort of balance comes to the chaos.

In the meantime this week’s, Weekend Friday Favourites! Things that have made me smile or caught my eye. Always my favourite post to write!

Switching Off My Phone

Or hiding it as the screen’s cracked (not my fault. Somebody knocked it out my hand sending it flying down the pavement). If I turn it back on, each time it goes a little loco. It’s so liberating. I grew up before mobiles. I got my first one around 17/18. All it did was receive messages and make calls. No games. The screen was like a calculator bar! Yes, I’m old. So I know what it’s like to not have a phone. I’ll admit my phone is addictive. I felt and feel guilty I was on it in the evenings when I should have been spending more attention Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”

Weekend Friday Favourites

I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m meant to be Christmas shopping online and wrapping presents to post, but they can wait. I’ve got a few more days until last calls for delivery in time for Christmas. It’s Weekend Friday Favourites, things that have been making me smile or caught my eye this week!

December’s waxing Cold Moon

Chocolates Solé Chocolate Puro Dark Chocolate República Dominicana Sweetended With Agave

Shop the NEW Naturally Curvaceous Boutique!

Brand spanking NEW: I have decided to open the Naturally Curvaceous Boutique!

The boutique will cater mostly to the “Curvy Girls” since that is what I know best as I am definitely a curvy girl. I will sometimes offer youth boy items as I sometimes buy my son too many items.

Where do the items in the boutique come from? Most items are thrifted or purchased at closet sales. Most of the items are gently worn and sometimes brand new and never worn. Think of it as thrifting online.

How much do the items cost? I want to make this boutique extremely affordable so the item are priced as such.  You all know that I am big on keeping as many coins in your pockets as possible. I will include the price along with the shipping for each item within the description.

How do I  purchase? All you need to do is leave your email address below the item on Instagram or send me a direct message with the piece you want and I will send you a Paypal invoice – it as simple as that!

An example of item currently for sale:

Blazer  Sweater

Booties  Jordans

I invite you to take a look at the boutique and share it with your “Curvy Girl” friends,

Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Shopping!

When figuring out which type of physical actions to perform as part of your fitness routine it is very important keep in mind that you’ll want to decide on a set of train types that address a wide variety of health advantages. Resting heart charge varies from individual to individual and over the course of the day, as a consequence of genetics and different elements. In order to realize an aerobic effect when exercising you will want to calculate your goal coronary heart price There are a number of methods that can be used to determine your target coronary heart price. Another option to gauge your exercise depth is to see how hard your coronary heart is thrashing during physical exercise. After six months or more, you could possibly train comfortably at up to 85 percent of your maximum heart price. If you are under or over your target heart fee zone, alter your exercise depth.

Resting coronary heart charge may be a good higher predictor of premature loss of life than cholesterol and blood stress, in line with a recent evaluation paper in Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases—though there is no consensus of what an optimal heart price is likely to be and the place elevated health risks may begin.

Note nonetheless that conditioned athletes usually have resting coronary heart rates beneath 60 bpm. Whether your fitness objective is weight loss, maximizing efficiency or bettering your total well being, coronary heart charge coaching is the simplest option to observe your intensity during a exercise.

New Orleans developer Bruno Inc. acquires Houston stores

New Orleans-based Bruno, Inc. has added two more commercial acquisitions to its national portfolio: a Starbucks and Verizon store at 12503 Tomball Parkway in Houston.

The property is located on two major thoroughfares and minutes from downtown Houston.

Bruno, Inc. is currently in negotiations with Starbucks and Verizon for a buyout of the current lease and is working with a number of national tenants for a long-term lease to leverage the large demand and higher rent per square foot that the Houston market is commanding, according to a news release. A sister company, Downtown Development Group, will handle development and construction for the new tenant.

Run by developer Joshua Bruno, the firm has holdings in 11 states and the Bahamas. It continues to grow in single tenant retail and the multi-family sectors this year and beyond, the news release said.

Earlier this year, Bruno acquired two Circle K convenience stores and gas stations in Illinois.

Bruno has also expressed interest in expanding into Cuba through construction and property development, according to the website Canal Street Beat, and he is involved in several commercial transactions in the Midwest for fast food franchises.
