Unstoppable The Movie and Delight Blog

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to tell you all about a new movie that is hitting theaters September 24th and that is pretty soon, so get your tickets if there is a theater in your state within a reasonable distance. You will not be sorry! My family and I have all been encouraged by Kirk Cameron's other film called Monumental. Unstoppable is the answer/sequel to Monumental. But from what I hear it can also stand on its own, so don't let the fact you have not seen Monumental stop you. 



I also have some blog post ideas that are Lord willing going to be taking shape this month and hopefully be posted by the end of the month or early October. So be on the look out for those. In the mean time do hop over to this blog that I will be doing a guest post series about music for. 

Blessings! Rebecca Ann

Freedom for Birth


Everyone needs to watch this!!!! I saw this movie with my sister about a month ago when it came out and it was by far one of the best I have ever seen in a long time about a social and political issue. Please take the time to watch the video and then act. We need freedom for birth, if we don't have that freedom that means we are losing our freedom.

God bless!

Donna Inspired Outfit Of the Day

Hey ya'll! I was combing through photos of Donna on Google and remembered why I liked her so much! :) She is beautiful and funny and her style is really fun. I love all the colors she wears! I was inspired by her fushia top below as I have two tops similar to that one. Mine are not exact, but similar. I also loved her sweater below and happen to own a grey one. So I did both the top and the sweater together yesterday with black jeans for a different, but similar look to Donna.

I also figured out an idea for the Doctor's real name. ;) I looked up a name that meant unkown and found the indian name Aayan. Maybe thats his name?! Its not that epic, but it sounds cool anyway. 
Any ideas on what you think his real name might be? Comment below.

I also love her big necklce! She looks really good in cool colors for some reason, maybe this actresses hair is not really strawberry blonde?! :) I was trying to figure out if she was a winter or a summer or neither. Any color be beautiful fans have some ideas?

God bless!

River Song Inspired Outfit of the Day


Hey Ya'll! This outfit is inspired by the infamous RiverSong and no I don't want to be like her in regards to her role/personality in the Doctor Who tv show. :) I just wanted to clear that up! I could say a lot about what I don't like about her character but I will refrain. ;)

photo credit


I decided I would not do jeans on the bottom because I just did not feel like jeans. :) I paired the top and jacket with black instead. And yes I did not have a gun or a holster so the photo above might be kind of lame, but whatever. :) My dad said after the fact of me taking these pictures I could use his hand gun for pictures in the future. :) I will be posting pictures with the gun and another RiverSong inspired outfit Saturday. So be on the look out! 





The Denim jacket- thrifted
black skirt- thrifted
white blouse- thrifted
black boots- Payless
watch necklace- gift from Hannah S.
black beaded necklace- gift from Mum


See you all around  and be sure to participate or read all the posts for the doctor who blog party! Check it all out at Ashley's blog and Natasha's blog!

Doctor/Martha Inspired OOTD


I realized that my outfit of the day inspiration for the black peacoat/trench was from the actor Matt Smith from his real life wardrobe. :) Oh well! I really like his sense of style and the coat is pretty awesome. It reminds me of something Sherlock would wear. :) Anybody out there like Sherlock? I love that show too.

photo credit


I feel stupid and silly thinking Martha wears ethnic clothing! ;) Maybe she does in one episode where I believe they are in India. I just could not find any pictures or screen shots of the outfit I was remembering in my head. Oh well! I still wanted to share this outfit because I love it and it was fun to wear. I hope the blog party is fun and all the whovians are getting their fill of doctorness. ;)

Doctor 11 Inspired Outfit of the Day


Hi ya'll! I was totally inspired by the 11th doctor in the episode with the american western theme. I received a australian hat from my grandmother that was a my late grandpa's and I thought it fit the bill. :) I also had a wool plaid jacket from Unique thrift store that I love and I thought it was the perfect feminine version of his wool jacket in that episode.

Picture source


I should have done a blue bow tie and jeans instead of the skirt, but I wanted to do a more feminine version of this outfit. :) The skirt is thrifted from goodwill and it has cool cut outs at the bottom.


The hat is from my grandpa, the boots are from payless, the button down top is from my local thrift store, the jacket is from another thrift store, and the necklaces were gifts.



I quite like the black and white outfit without the hat and jacket too. ;) I wore this out to dinner with my family without the jacket.


Thanks to Mom and Hannah S. for the necklaces! I use them a lot. I always get compliments Hannah on the watch necklace, people always ask where I got it. :)

God bless,
Rebecca

Doctor Who blog party Q's


|the questions|

1| If you decided to name your first born child after any Doctor Who character, male or female, who would it be? I love the name Melody, so I think I would definitely steal River Song's given name Melody for a girl. 

2| What is your favourite colour of the Doctor's shoes? I guess his red converse, I also like the black ones he wears once too though. 

3| Look around yourself and name the one thing that is TARDIS blue in your house! One of my glass necklaces, oh I am inspired! I should wear that necklace for the party this week. ;)

4| If you could pick who plays the Twelfth Doctor which actor would you choose and why? I had to look up his name because I did not know his real name, but maybe Benedict Cumberbatch who play Sherlock Holmes in the BBC tv show called Sherlock. He would definitely have to play into his humorous side more with doctor who, but I think it might work. What do you all think about him playing the doctor?

5| The Doctor is going back in time again, which historical era should he visit? hmmmm..... Probably the renaissance era, it would be so fun to see all the art and music that everyone loves being created! 

6| Would you REALLY go with the Doctor in the TARDIS? I think I definitely would be tempted, but I don't think I would and if I did it would only be for a day or so as I know I would miss real life and my family and friends. 

7| Who's your favorite Doctor and why? David Tennant, because he is just so brilliant in how he interrupts the doctor, he not overly funny and he is not overly smart and he is not over powering in his arrogance. So yeah I love the way David Tennant interrupts the doctors character. :)

8| Would you be afraid to spend Christmas in London? No, I don't believe in aliens. ;)

9| Do you look at an ordinary screwdriver and think 'this could be a bit more sonic?' No. 

10| Angel statues, plastic mannequins, Christmas trees - what ordinary everyday object would you love to make an object of terror to Whovians were you Steven Moffat? The first thing that popped into my head was toilets and that sounds really weird I know, but it could be funny. 

11| The TARDIS lands in your garden and the Doctor steps out. What is the first thing you say to him? Where have you been all my life?! :) 

12| Who is your favorite actor who has played the Doctor so far and why? David Tennant, as I stated above because of his great interrprutation of the doctor and also I love his outfits too. I love his converse shoes, trench coats, and glasses. I think glasses really make him look smart and are a good fit for the doctor. 

13| Have you seen any Classic Doctor Who? If so, which Doctor/episode(s) is your favorite? No. 

14| Which are the creepiest, scariest and all-out meanest baddies in all the Who-niverse? hmmmm... I will no comb through all the episodes on netflix to find their name, but I can describe them. :) I read others answers and found the name. :) I know I guess thats cheating. Well I wanted to answer the answer, but could not remember their name. The Silence! They are creepy!!!!!!

15| Who is/are your favorite Companion(s) and why? Amy Pond, because I love her personality, she is funny and I love her accent as well also she has that strawberry blonde hair that looks awesome with all her outfits. I also love Rory and that they actually get married and love each other. Its cute! 

16| Did you cry more watching Doomsday or The Angels Take Manhattan? haha I don't think I did watching either. :)

17| What is your favorite quote from the show? hmmmm.... doesn't the 10th doctor played by David Tennant say "Brilliant!" a lot. I like that even if they don't actually say that a lot. :) The word brilliant reminds me of the doctor. 

18| Which Doctor (including all previous regenerations) would you most like to be the companion of, and why? David Tennant, I know I keep on saying David, but I really like his acting the best out of the 9th,10th, and 11th doctors. I have not seen any of the vintage doctor who shows. 

19| Which of the following are you more scared of, the Daleks, Cybermen, or the Weeping Angles? Weeping Angels definitely! 

20| Who are some of your favorite guest stars in the series? I don't remember the actor's name but I love Captain Jack, in doctor who only. I really was disgusted with the language and content in the show called TorchWood. I highly don't recommend it! We turned it off when we were watching the first episode. It was nothing like Doctor Who, I think it must have been different screen writers. 

21| What was your first experience with Doctor Who and how did you hear about the series? I first heard of the series when my Dad used to watch it when we had cable on the Sci-fi channel when I was 12. I thought it was weird at first, but when I got older as a teen I really liked it. :) Now I love the show!

22| The Ninth Doctor said, 'Fantastic!', Ten said, 'Allons-y', and Eleven says, 'Geronimo'; what would you like to be the signature exclamation of the Twelfth Doctor? Brilliant! Well I think David Tennant says that a lot already when he is the doctor. 

23| If you were trapped in an episode, which one would it be? The only period I can think of that I love and is in a later episode is when the doctor takes Rory and Amy to the 1870s I believe and they get all dressed up in the period clothing. I would die if I got to live back then for a few hours! :)

24| Which is your favorite episode with each Doctor (Nine, Ten and Eleven)? I have no idea! haha I am not so obsessed to remember and I don't have a visual memory so its hard for me to remember them, but I will try. With the 9th doctor really like the first episode I guess when Rose first meets him, with David Tennant thats really hard, maybe the episode where he first meets river song, and with matt smith probably the episode where Amy is blind for a bit, I am not sure episode names on those. Sorry!

25| After watching a certain Doctor Who episode, did you summon up the courage to try fish sticks and custard? Uh, no way! Gross! haha

Make sure to go over to Tasha's blog to link up to the blog party if you did the questions too!

This is so so fun! Now I want to go to the Doctor Who conference that is in England each year. ;) I am such a geek! haha

God bless,

Amy Pond and Martha Inspired OOTD


Hey ya'll! I hope your day is going well and if its not you can relax a little and have fun watching my video and seeing everyone else's fun outfits and doctor inspired blog posts. Today my outfit is inspired by Amy Pond and Martha, two of the characters in the tv show called Doctor Who. The trench coat I think is also more something the doctor would wear, but of course its a ladies version. I felt very british wearing this coat the other day when I did this video. :) Where's my cup of tea now?


photo credit

I think my trench looks similar to the one Martha is wearing above and my hair is inspired by that hairstyle as well.

I was also inspired by Amy's beautiful outfit above and I would love to own her trench coat too! Its such a pretty color on her!

As I Once Again talk about....

a very controversial and heart stopping topic. Slavery and the sex trade which is still happening all over the world in case you did not already know. I was made aware on facebook about this new movie that is currently in theaters and it caught my attention. I have not seen the movie, but I have seen the trailer and it looks very eye opening. I remember first finding out about slavery and the sex trade when I was a young teen when I went to a youth conference in Leipzig  Germany with my sister and parents and church group. I was shocked and horrified at what was happening all over the world and not just in the foreign countries, even in the USA.

Please proceed with caution, please ask your parents before you watch this if you are under 18, there is no graphic images, but there is violence in the trailer. Thanks! The movie is called Trade of Innocents and is only showing in limited theaters, so if its in your city go see it! :)


Their website and facebook page also have lots of good information about the movie and the producers story about why he decided to make the film. I would not normally post about this issue, but its a real issue and it needs to end and I pray to the Lord it does in my life time.

God bless!

Inspiration

I know I have been pretty absent from this blog for a while. I have said I wanted this blog to be centered on what the Lord is doing in my life. But I think these pictures are too pretty not to share. Some friends and I want to go to the Renaissance Fair in the fall and I want to sew up a medieval gown for it. I have been watching the TV series called Merlin on netflix and have gotten quite a lot of inspiration from the character Morgana in the series. Here are some of her lovely gowns! They are so beautiful and I want mine to look similar in some ways.

pictures source
Of course my favorite gown Morgana wears is the blue and purple one above! I love the sheer sleeves and gold trim.

I think what I love a lot about her gowns is all the trims! I want to find some braided or beaded trim to put on my gown or maybe embroider with some shimmery thread some sort of pattern on the sleeves, hem, and neck line of my gown. This is all ideas and I really have not even thought it through that much. I do have fabric, it is wool cranberry red crepe that I got on a great sale from fabric.com. Hopefully it will be nice and cool/warm for september/october weather.

Yeah I know she looks sort of scary in the picture above, but we are looking at the dress not her expression. ;)

I think the cream gown above is so pretty! The bodice is so neat with the v shaped tucks!
My first inspiration for the embroidery on my gown came from the website Medieval Clothier and this dress from the  below.

So I have been doing a lot of music practicing for my vocal and piano exams coming up in May as well as a theory examination. So prayers are appreciated and that is one reason I have not been blogging much. No song writing or sewing has been happening lately. Lots of crocheting, music practicing, and planning for a music gig I have coming up. I am so excited as its my first time playing at an outdoor event. I now have a Yamaha Arius I got for my birthday to bring to the event to play on, so thats exciting. I will post pictures of my new room make over and the keyboard soon.

In Christ,
Rebecca

Tangled- Really encouraging rebellion and immorality

Hey ladies,

Over my vacation in Alaska, my family and I watched this movie that I have heard many christians raving about lately. I was curious, so we watched and I regret that my young cousin watched this movie. I read the review here- http://www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com/uncategorized/mangled-stay-at-home-daughters-on-the-silver-screen/
and it really just confirmed how I felt about the movie. Rapunzel rebelling from her mother and running away with a complete stranger is not what we want our daughters or sons to be doing! Staying over night in a forest all alone with the complete stranger is also unacceptable. Now I am not saying that many of you who like this movie shame on you! I am just warning you that this movie can have influence on young women and men that is not going to glorify God. I watched the movie and it did have not have an effect on me to steer me away from my faith. But little children's minds are very much mold-able and can be swayed away from the Lord. So I have been rethinking a lot lately what I should be watching and what I would let my children watch when I have children of my own. I am finding that most everything these days has sensual or sexual undertones and rebellion undertones in most TV shows and movies. I found myself when we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 a few weeks ago saying why is this the best the movie industry can do? Why is there not anything better out there to watch? I did not like the movie with all the bad stuff that was in it and no the" missionary guy" was not all that perfect either! Hey we are all sinners, but why did he have to go for the non christian mermaid?

My point basically is that I am finding that most anything I watch these days is not getting me closer to being holy and righteous or closer to my God. I am finding that lots of older movies are the way to go and TV shows. So I would encourage you all to monitor what you are watching and see if its edifying or Christ honoring.

In Christ,
Rebecca
