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
        
         Liz

This mama bear and her heart...

It's March 2, 2020 and after Justin (my wonderful hubby) and I put Teddy down for bed this evening I thought "I want to finally put away all of my maternity clothes" .  The journey and adventure I have had as a new mama bear has been so many things: joyful, tiring, long days, long nights, tears of happiness and tears of sadness, feelings of loneliness, yet feeling like I am so blessed... It has been over a year since the Lord allowed me to give birth to my son, and almost two years since I found out my prayer to become a mama to a baby that I would someday have the chance to give birth to was finally here. After giving birth I was ready to get back to my "pre-baby-weight" of 162lbs, but after giving birth your body is not like it once was...you don't bounciest back like you use to. What do I mean?! Well, I'm a photographer, and I've had the opportunity to photography many different events, but one of my favorites are weddings. So after giving birt...

Walking By Faith part 1

Hello beautiful people!      I have missed you all so very much! I know it has been well over a year since my last post and I can't wait to get back to sharing with you what God has been doing in my life over the past year plus...     Last post was on "SUMMER BUCKET LIST" I hope you were able to enjoy and create your own list!     I am such an excited person as some of you may have experienced while talking with me in person or just by getting to know me. I just love how God has created me in that sense...but I've come along way to be able to love myself the way God has created me to be.     2018 was a year of growth for me both spiritually and psychically...  As most years start off I made a new years resolution...to WALK BY FAITH. Now I know some of you are thinking, "ummm, Liz do you know what you just asked God to do in your life?!" To answer your question, I had no idea what God was about to do in my life, but I w...

In the Morning when I rise...

Give me Jesus... Have you ever heard a song that spoke to the very core of your spirit? This was a song that I've heard and sang many times over my life, but Monday morning my spirit cried out the first line of the song, " In the Morning when I rise, give me Jesus..." , and I stopped and understood that I needed to be feed spiritually! That in the busyness of my Sunday morning and throughout the day, I missed my quite time with my Heavenly Father, my Papa...And my soul cried out to Him. Since becoming a Mama and being able to hold, hang out, and enjoy spending time with my son Teddy, my quality times with my Papa has changed... I'm talking about my daily time with Jesus, my one on one feeding with the Lord and His Word... I know that may look different depending on your daily schedule and where God has you in your walk with Him but for me it use to look something like this: I'd wake up (tried to wake up before the alarm) pray, read and meditate on the Word ...
