God is in the Details

Detail oriented. It's on almost every resume I've ever read, but how often is it really true? It's listed as a skill on my resume. And whether I want to or not, I must admit I ignore the details all the time. Case in point, a friend of mine will be celebrating her 35th birthday tomorrow. I received the party invitation weeks ago. I replied by the appointed date. I get a point for that! BUT somehow I missed the required attire: ALL WHITE. My brother patiently pointed it out to me last Sunday. I was in panic mode, because I rarely buy white clothes. As I told Chelle just this morning #1) it's so hard for me to keep it clean and #2) the color makes me look huge (right in the gut). Therefore, I don't have any white clothes besides a couple of casuals tops. So, I spent 3 hours at the mall last night to no avail.

I went to the North Brunswick Shoppes (shoppies, as my coworker calls it) on my lunch break; and to my utter dismay I found nothing appropriate...not even from White House|Black Market. I mean, isn't this what you specialize in?! Anyway, I'm now heading towards Distressed-ville. Yes, that's an actual place--in my mind. When I get like this, it would do good to remember the scripture 'be anxious for nothing' or even better 'do not worry'. NOW I remember them. Determined to get my peace of mind back, I browsed stores online for a good part of the afternoon (it was a slow day). After work, I had to make a quick decision TJ Maxx or Ross. One or the other was bound to have something white, right?

I decided on TJ Maxx. I could hear the lady from the commercial saying 'be a maxxinista'. I'm telling you the power of TV. Guess what? I found a ca-uuuuute (as Chelle said) dress. I will be sure to share pics from tomorrow night's party of the ensemble I put together. AND the dress was a steal! You gotta love designer fashion at low prices...hehehe.

 Moral of the story: God is in the details, so pay attention! It'll save you a trip to Distressed-ville. Pow3rful in Him, Chris
