Walking By Faith part 2

Hello and Happy Friday!

    This is the second part of a four part post! Just to update you on where God has been growing me in the past year since we last blogged! Now to the spring time of 2018...

   April 2018 : Easter... That big group of wonderful people are my family! God was really growing me more and more as the days pasted throughout the year, but He was always reminding me to surround myself with family and His children no matter what trials in life I was in...God would bring me through it!
"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect & complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4


May 2018: WHAT AN EVENTFUL MONTH! So many wonderful blessings came in the month of May... I turned 25, my baby sister got engaged to her man, and my brother got married! 
So how does it feel to be 25? Great question, as I looked back on my 25 years of life here the Lord brought to mind so many things I was thankful for...1. Praise God He saved me from my sins at a young age! 2. I was blessed to find my other half, my best friend I will spend the rest of my life with and the love of my life Justin Scott Taylor! (: 3. I was finally finished with college (for now) and a proud alumni with three degrees! Wow! And that was just a few blessings He brought to mind.
 
  
My sweet baby sister now engaged!? That's so AMAZING! I'm so happy for her and her man Devon! They are just wonderful together and always keeps us laughing! We love them so much! To think just 20 years ago God answered a little girls prayer for a baby sister. I stand here today as a witness to her life God has blessed her with. I still see her as a little girl and I'm sure most older siblings do, but I am so thankful for her and our relationship we have!


To tie the rest of May together my brother's wedding! 
He is married and has a wife...yep that has taken a little time to get use to saying (: But what a beautiful wedding they had! Full of Christ's love, blessings, and family! God is so good! That's us, the final six as my mother likes to say! What a great looking crew we are! 




   Next is June 2018: Just when you think God has blessed me with so many wonderful blessings, what does He do next?! The most wonderful and amazing thing...God blessed us with our first baby...Baby Taylor! There is so many emotions I can not put into words the moment I found out but that is a story to share at a later date (; 
   Justin and I had prayed for God's timing...we knew in our hearts God wanted us to be parents, and someday we would. But the desire to be a mother to a sweet little baby burned in my heart. My mind told me we need to have our own house, that sweet babies cost money and we needed to have better jobs...this started to feel so overwhelming to me that the thought to become a mother someday was so very far away. 
   But God had a different plan. He whispered to me one day, "what was your resolution for this year?" and immediately I recalled praying to God back in January, I want to walk by faith, I want my life as a Christian to showcase what God really was teaching and growing in and throughout my life.
  Walking by Faith doesn't mean you know the plan God has for you, or that you sometimes have Faith. To me it means that you know in your heart no mater what God has you in the palm of His hands, that He has a perfect plan for your life and loves you so very much He wants to bless you. But we are called to be obedient to His calling in our lives. Walking in this world, a world that is so very dark and broken is not an easy path. But we have something so great, The Truth, The Light, and our Savior to guide our path. 

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:16
