March has been awesome! God has been really showing out this month! I’ve learned a lot and have been growing and putting things into perspective. Speaking of growing, my hair has been growing like a weed. Check out this post tracking my growth this month. Click here to view it.

This Sunday, Tribe of Judah (Braeswood Church’s Young Adult choir) led worship to the congregation. It was awesome and anointed. We were rocking the house upstairs in Worship. Although Tribe of Judah only ministers once a month, it’s always a blessing to minister to the church. I thank lead Pastor Steve Banning for allowing us to serve in this capacity. I equally thank our fearless leader, worship Pastor Zeke Listenbee, for rallying us up and empowering us to form Tribe of Judah. We have grown so much as a group and it shows every time we minister.

I especially enjoyed this Offertory today. “All I Have To Give” by Mali Music Covered by siblings- Adaeze Onyenezi, Chisom Onyenezi, Arinze Onyenezi

After church, we got lunch with some church family:

THIS is why I love my church. Community. We recently started renovations on our church sanctuary and at first, I thought we would lose some members because of all the changes. Instead, our seemingly “mega” church has shrunken in size. It has become more intimate and I’m meeting people I never knew went to Braeswood Church. I have become enamored with the pastoral staff, whose love for God’s people has made the transition seamless. Going off to graduate school will be a little bittersweet because I am loving this season of growth my church is in. I am glad God allowed me to be here for such a time.

Worship Soundcheck: “Hallelujah”

Today, I had the opportunity to lead worship at Texas Multicultural Women’s Prayer Breakfast. The Emcee, April Tone, was a phenomenal host for the occasion.

First, my outfit of the day (OOTD):

The front of my hair was a lopsided Marley braid-hair bun. The back was my hair in a sloppy french braid. Look, it’s growing!

Here’s the song I sang:

Thought I’d share a secret about myself:

I’m a big goof when it comes to lyrics and order of songs. I’m notorious for making my fingers cheat sheets for the music. Here’s my cheat for one of the songs I did today.

SXSW 2013

This Spring Break, my sisters and I decided to try out SXSW in Austin. It was fun hanging out with all the hipsters. We saw Kendrick Lamar perform live. My sister and friends went to Solange’s and Trinidad James’s concert. Here are my OOTDs. Enjoy!

I have realized one thing: I need to get a better phone. My sister has a Samsung Galaxy SII and she took some pictures and recorded some great clips at the concerts.

#WAYW to School

March 9, 2013Fashion, What Are You WearingTimiKomo

Hey peeps, I do believe I owe y’all some OOTDs! Here we go:

Over the weekend, I was randomly inspired to do a retro-looking updo. It lasted all week!

My students tell me that I dress LOUD, but my style is “live.” Sometimes they get me. Other times, they don’t get it at all. (Like the time they thought my two-tone riding boots were prosthetic legs…Yes you read that correctly. My black and brown boots somehow looked like fake legs). They are, after all, middle school boys. They are excused…for now.

Today is my sister, Dee’s birthday!

There are so many reasons why I love this woman, but here are my top 10:

1. She is beautiful

2. She is kind and giving

3. She’s a great big sister

4. She ages in reverse (look 17 even though she just turned 27)

5. She’s ambidextrous

6. She’s a great writer (check out her blog deekodeetales.com)

7. She not-so-secretly wants to be Korean

8. She hates going shopping but has great style

9. She is a ever-growing woman of God

10. She knows how to laugh at herself

Isn’t she lovely!

And here’s my Sunday Best outfit:

We didn’t plan the lemon grass color. It just happened. Both my pants and Dee’s are from Target. They were on sale for $8! I had to snag them.

Happy Birthday to my baby (big sis) Dee!

My Valentines Week

The week started with a good hair day

Then I was showered with gifts from my students and coworkers. My mom cooked a delicious Valentines dinner that evening.

I spent my Friday night chaperoning a middle school Valentines dance

Screen shot 2013-02-17 at 7.50.50 PM — My coworkers and I. We don’t look like it at all, but we teach middle school.

Then I went to my students’ track meet and tried on a Snuggie for the first time!

From the looks of it, my students were my valentines this year. I’m thankful for them.

Sunday Best: Bowtie & Blazer

February 10, 2013Fashion, Hair, Sunday Bestbowtie, professoriateTimiKomo

I took out my twists after a month of having them in. I bet y’all forgot all about my real hair, huh. I was feeling jazzy and decided to wear my red bowtie and blazer with my high-waisted red jeans.

It wasn’t planned but we were bowtie twins!

Hair update:

In the one month that my hair was in twists, it grew a little fuller and longer. I used castor oil on my roots every once in a while. I think it helped. When I retwist later on, today, I’ll be able to tell just how much it grew. Check out the length– past my collarbone!! I’m excited. Glad to have my hair back!

Sunday Best #20

February 5, 2013Sunday BestTimiKomo

I’ve had this dress in my closet for a couple months and didn’t know where to wear it. I love the way it fit and look. It was thrifted for less than $5. I will definitely wear it again.

Taking pictures after church has become a tradition. Here’s everyone’s Sunday Best
