French for you and anakin? 😳😳

[ french ] a deep, passionate kiss with the use of tongue

Pre-order 66 and post-Freida leaving the Jedi. This kind of took on a life of its own.

Anakin hadn't intended to go to Jein'ta, but when the Jedi got word that General Grievous had been spotted in that sector, he didn't think dropping in would be any harm.

He's met by Cria, the handmaid who had begged the Jedi to help when Freida was being forced to marry a warlord. She greets him warmly and before he can give her his excuse for being there she smiles.

"Her Lady Freida is this way," She tells him, beckoning him to follow her, "Come with me."

As they approach her dwelling his chest erupts with warmth, as if every step toward her brought him closer to the sun.

They find her in the meadow near her house, sprawled out on the grass, her hair down and a mess around her.

Cria stops him just as he's about to call out and points to the small body creeping in the taller grass nearby.

Frei cries out playfully when a young girl pounces on her stomach and he can't help but smile.

"I gotchu Aunt Freida!" The girl grins, sitting on her abdomen.

"Yes, you did," The older woman encourages, sitting up and wrapping her arms around her, "I didn't even hear you coming!"

The girl's ears twitch and she quickly turns to look at him and Cria, almost shrinking in her hold when she sees him.

Freida follows her gaze and her face lights up with the sweetest smile. She has to stop herself from jumping to her feet and sprinting into his arms like she desperately wants to, and settles for waving him over.

She rises to her knees when the girl slides down to hide behind her as he approaches.

"Your Eminence," He greets with a teasing grin and a small bow.

"Anakin," The soft sound of his name makes his heart stutter and it takes all he has to not pull her against his lips.

His eyes flicker over to the girl peaking out from behind her.

"And who is this?" He chuckles when she ducks away.

"This little cub?" Freida wrangles her into her arms again.

"I'm not a cub!" She argues, wiggling in Frei's arms til she lets her go, "I'm Myrshi!"

"Ah, Myrshi the mighty hunter," He says and her cheeks flush, "I saw your devastating attack just now."

She lets out a bashful giggle at his words, running off when Cria calls her.

"We'll give you two some time," She smiles at them and Anakin gets the feeling she may have more insight into their relationship than most people.

"Help me up?" Freida asks, pulling his attention back to her. Her hand is outstretched at him expectantly.

"Of course, my lady," He grins. It's like lightning when their hands touch, electricity arcing through his veins.

She leads him inside, past various house staff and other clergywomen, away from any prying eyes. The villa is much brighter than when he'd rushed to save her that handful of months ago. Ever since her father stormed off after she'd defied him, she's seemed brighter, so bright it's almost like he'd been blinded by her, even back on Coruscant.

As soon as they step into her room he kicks the door shut and yanks at her wrist, making her fall against his chest with the most adorable giggle.

"I missed you, precious," His lips brush hers before he finally kisses her.

"Missed you so much," She sighs, her claws digging into his dark robes. She tugs them toward the large nest-like pile of pillows and cushions that serve as her bed and favorite sun-basking spot.

His laugh when they tumble back into them makes her heart thrum with pure happiness.

He kisses her again before pulling back to take her in. Her hair is a wild mess around her, pastel pink curls tangle into each other, flecked with green, and it takes him a moment to realize it's grass.

"You have grass in your hair," He snickers, plucking a blade from it.

He gets distracted by her hands softly cupping his face and he gazes down at her warmly as her thumb strokes his cheek.

"You're so pretty," She mumbles. Her fingers brush back his bangs and he feels his cheeks heat.

"No," He chuckles, "You're the pretty one here."

"Agree to disagree," She murmurs, pulling him back down to her.

He kisses her hard, his hands rough in her already tangled hair. His tongue shoves past her lip, eagerly exploring her mouth. She tastes sweet, like some kind of delectable fruit he can't get enough of.

He groans when she runs her tongue along his, pressing their chests together.

"Kiss me again," She sighs when he pulls away, his chest heaving against her.

"Anything you want, Precious," He grins, "I'll kiss you until you beg me to stop."

"Then I guess you'll never stop kissing me."

"I'd better get started."

RCCG altar not for women wearing a lot of makeup or male pastors with braids, according to Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has criticised clergymen for wearing braided hair and clergywomen for wearing excessive makeup and fake eyelashes. Adeboye stated recently at his church's annual convention that such practices among church employees would no longer be accepted. “In Yorubaland, the only men who braid hair are the priests of Sango, the god of thunder. They say this is a new age and that we must be adaptable to what is going on. To continue as Sango priests? Not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, it will still not happen. Take this word from me. When we find anybody among pastors, particularly female pastors, made up to look like a representative of Nollywood, we will walk her off the altar. You may not like it. If you are my children, you can’t kill me. Do you know why men don’t makeup? I mean, real men. It’s because we have what is called a superiority complex.  We stand before the Lord and say, ‘God, You did a good job creating us. You made no mistake.'” He added: “When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you want to achieve – If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you a false nail and false eyelashes'' “You can quote me: Tell anybody who questioned why you are doing this drastic change, tell him or her, “Daddy GO said so,” he said. The preacher went on to say that any lady who flaunts her breasts feels unattractive and has to draw attention away from her face. “She wants to divert attention from her face.  She believes she is ugly, so the man will be lured.  All my daughters listen to me: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. If anybody does not like you the way you are, it’s that person’s loss,'' he stated Read the full article

A Style Guide for Women of The Clergy

It is standard practice for women to wear a clerical collar when they are engaged in religious work. Still, many pastors have changed their styles and wardrobes to fit the changing times.

Many women today wear clergy dresses and blouses that are bright and trendy for the season. More and more clergywomen are putting their own unique spin on traditional clergy clothes so they can be more interesting ministers, preachers, and deacons.

A female minister can choose from the following outfit ideas to dress appropriately for her job:

Clergy Robes Nowadays, ladies can choose from a stunning variety of robes designed just for clergy. There are both modern-fitting robes that have spectacular silk accents and feminine details and classic clergy robes that are kept spare yet exquisite with needlework and lace trim.

With the many options on the market today, any woman in the clergy can find the perfect robe to go with her ministry.

Ladies Cassocks Women in the clergy now have access to cassock sets that are not only functional but also flattering. White dresses with elegant contrast-trimmed piping designed with a satin contrast triple-pleat for a brilliant finish are one of the available alternatives. Black cassocks with white bands at the cinches are another option.

Female ministers can focus on their sermons instead of their clothes when they wear the modern cassocks of today. To do this, these clerical clothes have inverted pleats on the back, which make it easier to move around.

Clergy Stoles and Embellishments Women in the clergy can finish off their church clothes with stoles and other accessories. You can get pulpit stoles with exquisite embroidery and well-made fabrics, or you can go for the convenience and cost savings of a reversible design.

Women in the church can complete their attire with the help of accessories like cords and cross sets. Band cinctures, or cincture cords, as well as high-quality clergy collars, are also good things for clergy to buy.

Clergy Dresses Modern clergy dresses look modest and have great features that are likely to please the church's most important women. Both deaconesses and pastors would benefit greatly from wearing them.

The vast range of sizes offered for these clergy outfits includes options for women who want larger garments. In order to achieve a comfortable and figure-flaunting fit, they are even tailored in the princess line style.

Wrapping Up When clergywomen first began wearing the male-style clerical garb that came with their ordination, they had to get creative to make it work for their bodies. It took years, but clerical outfitters finally have clerical clothing boutiques to serve the female members of the church. Consequently, female clergy members can now dress in a way that reflects their individuality and uniqueness, which makes them able to do so without losing credibility with churchgoers.

By looking into the options we've talked about here, clergywomen can find clergy dresses and other options that will make them feel as comfortable and dignified as possible while spreading God's word. Visit DivinityClergyWear.com today if you are a clergywoman with discernment and taste!

Holy One,

You hide us in the Shelter of your wings. You give us courage to face the feelings of doubt, the enemies of our self-worth.

Give us hearts that warm to your Voice first above all others. Confirm your Calling on our lives before the opinions of the world sway us. There are many who need our hearts of compassion, our presence of faithful love, our joy in service.

Focus our minds on you, Holy One, and for the Promise of Peace that surpasses all understanding and circumstances. Make us beacons of your Spirit, flames of love for all who wander and worry.

Blessed be –

Amen.
