That awkward moment in prayer...

When your praying that God helps you to have a right attitude towards that one REALLY ANNOYING sister in Christ that just drives you cRaZy, buuuuuuuuut you really want to have a right spirit so your gonna pray about it...

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT...

 instead of saying God help me with Sister -So-AND-So, you accidentally say,

God help me have a right spirit with SISTER KAREN!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

.

True story people, I ACTUALLY DID THAT ONE TIME...a really, really looooooooong time ago. And I wasn't even saying it to be smart-alecky either, it literally JUST SLIPPED OUT!!!  I was like, GOD, im soooooo SORRRRRRYYY, I MEANT TO SAY SISTER SO-AND-SO!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

Aint that just like THE LORD!!!

I woke one morning last week and the first thought that went through my head was, it was THE ROMANS the actually crucified Jesus!!! And my next thought was, and the Romans were ITALIANS!!! i was like omw it was THE ITALIANS THAT ACTUALLY NAILED JESUS TO THE CROSS!!!

.

I was just standing there in my room like, we were the ones, under the order of the Jews, that ACTUALLY CRUCIFIED JESUS!!!! I’m always bragging about being Italian, buuuuuuuut were the ones that killed Him!!! I was just standing there in shock of my heritage!!!

.

Buuuuuut then my next thought was, AND YET, 

the Italians were STILL the ONES!!! 

We were still the among the first gentiles, the gift of the Holy Ghost came too!!! AIN’t THAT JUST LIKE THE LORD??? Only God would do something like that!!! To go first to the ones that took His life and say, i have a gift for you, I want give you life everlasting!!! 

.

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, if you will repent and turn from your sin, Jesus WILL FORGIVE YOU!!! When you think you’ve done more than he can forgive, remember the Italians nailed Him to across and He STILL gave the Holy Ghost first!!!! What a mighty, mighty, mighty, amaaaaaaaaZingly, loving, merciful and AWESOME GOD WE SERVE!!! 🌟 

.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. “

Proud Graduate 🧑‍🎓!!!

DRIVING SCHOOL!!! 

And like it’s gotta be at least my 6th time through!!! That’s basically the equivalent of a DOCTORATES!!! I think i should have a party- or at least know i’m accepting gifts 🎁 to doctor up my FRONT BUMPER!!! 😂 😝 😇

Sunday School Lesson Fail:

When you tell them the story of Joseph and you get to the part about Joseph's brothers selling him to Potiphar and you're expecting them to be sad for Joseph and the van

 kids are liiiiike, WAIT SO HE GOT NEW PARENTS??? That's sooooooo cooooooool!!!! I wish I WAS JOSEPH!!! 🤷‍♀️

Weeeeeeeeeeelllll that was a lesson plan fail- NO MATTER HIW YOU PREPARE, you cant out think the minds of kids!!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

Happy Monday!!!

Ahahahahahaaaa!!!! EXACTLY!!!!

Shopping Time #2!! (Repost and updated)

My favorite MODEST online shops!!!

Soooooooo this is basically just a repost from last summer but there's a bunch of  new shops added in towards the end!!! Also, I'm aware of the fact that some of these aren't actually Apostolic modest, they just have pretty dresses that you will have to figure out HW to make modest!!! Don't be like casting stones and give me the side eye-I'm AWARE her dresses aren't modest!!! BUUUUUUUT there's a $300 one that if ANYONE would like to buy me, I'll take!! I personally think it would make a great ENGAGEMENT DRESS!!! 

This dress is soooooooooooo ME!!!
I need it in a 2x, maxi length, cream color puleeeeeze!!!!

You can buy it for me HERE and give it to me WHEN you propose and then I can wear it for our engagement photos!!! ;) AHAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!!!

.

Ok on to last years updated post!!!

Heeeeeeeeeeyyyy I just thought I'd share with you all some of MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE online, modest clothing sights, ASIDE from the MOST POPULAR DAINTY JEWELL'S!!!(Who charges $5 extra for anyone bigger than a size LARGE! 🙄i mean i can see charging more for the REALLY BIG SIZES LIKE MY 4x, buuuuut seriously XL girls??? and why isn’t it $5 cheaper for the xtra-small girls??? Despite the annoyance of the matter- i still have 3 velvet dresses i really want! lol gonna rock extra $5!!!;)

.

 Origninally these were listed in the order I shop at the most, buuuuuuut let's be honest- I've discovered SHEIN and that's mostly where I go now!!!  Annnnnnd quite a few of these sites are owned by home mission pastor wives or just in general a church, SOOOOO by shopping at their store, GIRL MATH SAYS, YOUR ACTUALLY HELPING SUPPORT THE WORK OF GOD!!!! ;) And you can't OUTGIVE THE LORD, soooooo by shopping at pastor's wives shops IT'S BASICALLY FREE!! Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyy!!!! 

.

Pastor wife shops will put a ** by, and Pentecostal shops I will put a * soooo you know that your SUPPORTING AND GIVING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD and our fellow SISTAS IN THE LORD, WHEN YOU SHOP THERE!!! Some of these shops are NOT Pentecostal like us, BUT they are promoting modesty, no pants, dresses and skirts!!!  The first five are my main stomping grounds and absolute faves!!!! 

.

1.The King's Daughter-* This sight is PROBALBEY my most favorite and i've shopped her THE MOST!!! I think partially because this sista has a REALLY GREAT CONCEPT of posting 1-2 new things, EVERYDAY!!! Soooooo it's kinda like you check daily to see what new stuff she has!!!! Now, I don't buy something new EVERYDAY, buuuuut it's FUN checking what she has and it's VERY ADDICTING!!! Buuuuut I figure it's better to be addicted to THE KING'S DAUGHTER than to Burger King!!! BAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!!!

♥

2.Zadie B's**- I LOOOOOOVE HER CLOTHES!!! They look soooo fancy buuuuut the best part is that they are soooooooo COMFY!!! LIIIIIIIKE you look like a MILLION AND ONE BUCKS buuuuuut you feel like your wearing your night gown!!! And they're that material that can get wet but don't judge me but sometimes I wear stuff to hike or swim in because it's THAT MATERIAL buuuuut would be soooooooooo much more expensive IF it was an actual "swim" dress!!! I'm also REALLY excited because we're doing a LPC Church trip to Branson in August and all the ladies going are doing a ladies SHOPPING DAY and we're going to THE ACTUAL ZADIE B's store there in Branson!!! I'm liiiiiiiike maybe they'll give me a DISCOUNT for talking about them on my blog!!! ;))) I also want the Zadie B's brother that always answers the phone when I call about returns, to know that, THAT WAS NOT ME THAT BELCHED that one time I was talking to you!!! I was at the Library and I had to walk outside because apparently I talk to loud and as I was walking out, THIS RANDOM MAN let out THE LOUDEST BURP EVERRR...buuuuuut that was NOT ME!!!! Just feel the need to clarify that before I walk into the store!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! And I welcome a discount for promoting you IF you feel led by the Lord to do so...no pressure...jus sayin!!!! ;) 

.

3.Beautifully Modest- shop here a lot and they do a lot of great dresses, they wear dresses buuuuut are not Pentecostal but lots of great clothes and they're addicting because they model the clothes so you can see how they actually look on a REAL human!!! Also, their custom pieces on here are MADE by a Pentecostal lady! I just knew it, they have a "Pentecostal Look" to them!!! Sooooo I went and found her shop on Etsy, which ill list below as well!!!

.

4.Dressed Like An Angel**- This shop is owned by younger Sister Garrett's mom who is a pastor's wife in a really small town in Louisiana I believe. I forget her mom's name, but when her dad was singing at Antioch I thought, OoooooooH, that's Brother Dress-Like-An-Angel !!!! I heard that she has an actual really big clothing store in her city in Louisiana, so IF YOUR there go on in and shop live...I mean I don't know that i'll ever be there, don't judge me, buuuuuuuuut I'm NOT really into small towns, sooooooooo IF I were to go there it would probably be 1 of 2 reasons, TO GO SHOPPING  OR because I heard there was really handsome single man in their church, buuuuuuut then again everyone would KNOW that's WHY I had gone since I just announced it on my blog so I probably wouldn't actually go for the man, buuuuut I'm jus sayin, that's THE ONLY TWO reasons i'd be there!!!

.

5.Nuggles**- she's become almost as popular as Dainty Jewells and Zadie B's and I['m super excited because she just got in a whole new line of BUBBLE DRESSES!!! You guys, I looooooove bubble dresses!!! You know WHY??? Because I look SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD in them!!!! -That was last year- NOW I'm SOOOO OVER bubble dresses!!!

19.Main Street Exchange 

 Etsy Shops 

1. ModestStickerCo - Etsy* -Local Pentecostal Mom

2. Skirt & Top Extenders - Please keep in mind that this lady is NOT Pentecostal and she lives in Turkey, so make sure your stuff is the way you want it before ordering! I've gotten a lot of my beautiful skirt extenders from her but remember that lace is SEE THROUGH so you have to ask her to make sure it's not see through because she's NOT looking out for it to be particularly modest, just pretty!!! However, she will make it modest IF YOU ASK her too!!! She takes custom orders as well!!! 

3. Skirt Extenders*- This lady is Pentecostal and I've gotten quite a few skirt extenders here! She does an awesome job and will let you pick they length you want and the waist inches if she doesn't have your exact size. 

4.Beautiful Custom Tunics-* Okay sooooo IDK Y buuuuut I look really bad in tunics, they just don't hang right on me without me having a prego look!!! Buuuuut this lady makes THE MOST gorgous, Apostolic looking pieces so I just wanna promote her to y0ou all that look good in them!!! She is sooooooooooo talented!!!!

.

If you guys know of more only Modest clothing or Apostolic shops, please feel free to send them to me and I’ll check them out and add them to this page!!!! I’m gonna need all the free advertising I can get get when I FINALLY get my book 📚 published, so I figure, we can ALL help each other out!!! Maryfraneswriting@gmail.com

Apostolic Jr. Camp 2024!!!

Apostolic Jr. Camp 2024!!!

It's ALWAYS a bigger adventure when you bring Sunday School kids- THANKFUL TO NOT BE A COUNSELOR THOUGH!!! I've been a counselor twice in my life and i'm GOOOOOD!!!And noooooooooo i do NOT feel guilty saying that- I AM A COUNSELOR, pretty much EVERY SUNDAY OF MY LIFE!!! Van pick up, teach Sunday School, watch them during Church Service, a million bathroom breaks and THEN drop off- all in AZ SUMMER WEATHER!!! I FEEL NO GUILT bringing them to camp and letting someone else get up to go to that bathroom with them in the middle of the night!!! NONE!!! LOL 

.

Time to start picking up kids for camp!!! 

These two FINALLY started coming to church in i think April maybe, we'd been asking them and they kept saying no but I would give them brownies when I went to visit other kids and finally Janae said she would come IF I MADE HER BROWNIE!!! Apparently i make THE BEST BOXED BROWNIES AROUND!!! Jamar did NEED to take a month off from church after Jr. Camp buuuuuuut he was back this Sunday!!!! LOL

All ready to head up to camp- MY SISTER BRAVELY said yes to driving the van-I'm NOT allowed to- NO CLUE WHYYYYY!!!!
