Becoming Best Dressed
“I love the opportunity to get dressed up,” Sara Pease said of the stunning Dickens ensemble she wore at the 2017 Best Dressed Contest. The intricate, seven-piece outfit inspired by the 1850’s weighs 35 pounds and incorporates an astounding 63 yards of ruffles.

Sara lives in Crab Orchard, WV and often returns to PA to visit family. This daring sewing project was launched after her aunt, Libby Occhino suggested in 2015 she get involved in a Dickens event at Linck Hill in Morris, PA. With the help of Karen Snuffer (who made 3 pieces) Sara was able the create an inspiring & historically accurate Dickens costume from authentic reproduction patterns.

Back to Basics – Decisions, Decisions
Not all decisions are created equal. Some will require more attention and care than others. But, the tools I’m about to share are meant to help you make any decision no matter how big or small.

Principle #1:
Don’t be anxious. It is easy to become overwhelmed and filled with anxiety when a decision needs to be made. Resist the temptation to fear and trust God to lead you. In Philippians 4 we are instructed not to be anxious, but to pray. Prayerfully commit your thoughts to the Lord and trust Him.

Principle #2:
Ask God for wisdom. In the Bible in the book of James, chapter 1, we learn that God generously gives wisdom to His followers when they ask.

Principle #3:
Get counsel. The book of Proverbs teaches that there is wisdom in many counselors. Ask a variety of counselors for wisdom and carefully consider their input.

Principle #4:
Delight yourself in the Lord. We were created for God’s glory and all of our decisions are meant to showcase the wisdom of God. As you delight in Him your desires will be more in tune with His will and your decisions will reflect that.
