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...

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 ...

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 ...
