I'm STRUGGLING!


Good Evening!
         
         I hope you all are having a great week so far! Have you ever been one to make new years resolutions? Do you find that the month of January you are motivated and excited about your new years resolutions/goals for the year? How are you feeling by March?

        I am that one person who starts off every new year with a similar goal as the year before to eat better ( healthier), work out more, and overall have a healthier lifestyle. This year was no different, at least when it came to the health and fitness goals for the year. Honestly I am STRUGGLING!!! It's March...month number three into my new year and I feel off my game.

       This week I wanted to lay in bed and not do much of anything. But I was reminded one morning that God did not give me each new day to lay around and do nothing, but to do what He is calling me to do. It's not always clear what God wants me to do every moment of my every day life, but to lay in bed, watch Netflix (most of the day)...well that is not what He wanted me to do. He wanted me to call on Him when I am struggling with my goals/new years resolutions. Why? Because God is there to encourage us, to give us strength, and to help pick us up when we feel low. 

       I love this verse {Philippians 4 :11 } I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
Yes!!! I CAN do ALL things when God is in the center of my life. He is always there to help us and encourage us. 

      As you go about your week and into the weekend, I hope this is an encouragement and a loving reminder that with Christ we CAN do ALL things! How awesome and exciting is that!? 
     

        Until next time

What felt like a very long journey...

Hey all you beautiful people reading,  Happy Monday!!! I hope you are enjoying this wonderful Monday! I know 2020 has been a year like no other. full of unknowns ( more than normal), I know you all had plans of how this year was hoping to go (me included) , and when the spring just stared all our lives have been change.  God has certainly been growing and stretching us in our faith more than we thought possible, asking me daily "do you trust me?"... And when I started to me more real, more vulnerable, and more honest with Him and myself God was ready to take me on a journey I thought was so far out of my reach. Well I want to share with you all some absolutely, amazing, incredible, (these words can't begin to describe...) news I have been waiting so long to share... Today on August 31, 2020 Justin and I signed all our paperwork to our very first house!!! Yes! That's right! Our very first home. This has been an on going journey for over/pushing 3 years ( I think). I w

One already!

Happy First Birthday to our sweet Teddy Bear! And Happy Birthday mama and papa bear! Thanks right! Our sweet baby boy Theodore Leo Taylor is ONE already!  I can't believe he is one years old already. Wasn't it just yesterday I was at the hospital breathing through those contractions with so much joy and excitement to meet our baby and see if God had blessed us with a baby boy or girl?!  This past year has been full of so many new adventures, eye opening understands, and pure joy:discovering a deeper prayer life and seeking God for how to put our baby to sleep because we want sleep too, giving grace to myself as God showed me who He was creating me to be as a mama in this new season of life, being reminded that I don't have to parent alone, that God has blessed me with a husband I can lean on, and a wonderful loving father to our sweet Teddy bear, and that's just a few. How quickly a year has flown by, someone once said "the nights are long but the years

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!          That's right! Today 24 years ago I was born into the world...     SO much has happened in these last few weeks and years of my life! One of the most exciting ones at the moment is shown in this photo...I am a children's book illustrator!!!    This job opportunity has made me realize how much I love creating, designing, and illustrating! It has given me a new, fresh motivation on my creative life journey only God has shown me in these past few weeks. He has open a door I never thought would be open!  God can do anything he wants to. How cool is that?! We just have to trust him and to remind ourselves that we are not the one in control, and that's ok!   Happy Birthday to all my May birthday readers!!!  Have a beautiful day!!! God loves YOU! Until next time Liz
