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 (the food my spirit longed for). But since my sweet, beautiful cuddle bug Teddy came into my arms, my daily feeding with my Heavenly Father has changed...and one morning this is what my Papa spoke to my heart: Sweet beautiful daughter of mine, I rejoice that you want to spend time with me. I love watching you grow and seek our special time together. You don't have to feel shame, guilt, or condemnation for not being able to wake up early (at 5am). Your body has changed because not only are you my daughter but you are a mama. I need you to take care of both your physical body and your spiritually body. I love you and I will meet you were you are in this season of life. 

PRAISE HIM!!! I am shouting for so much joy!!! Ok, I know you can't see me in my excitement for what just happened, but I really am jumping with joy! In this new season of motherhood I am learning so much more about God...and let me tell you, you can never learn too much about Him. Just when I think I'm on a deep leave with Papa He takes me deeper, grows me more beautifully, and changes my heart to be more like His.

I want to share with you all what God has been speaking to me these past few days while sitting at his table ( completely sharing my heart: spending time with God this week has not been at the same time every day...something God is working on me with...) So here is what our Heavenly Father has been opening my eyes to this week : "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for what Christ Jesus took hold of me" Philippians 3:12
This was the first scripture I read to start the week off, and it was the reading I would have skipped over since I "missed" my daily feeding with God. But He spoke to my heart and said, "Who said you had to skip it? Why not read two today?" Why Not! God had something He couldn't wait to share with me and I would have missed it. Paul reminds us here in Philippians that even he hadn't accomplished goals that he set out for himself, but that God wants us to continue to press on, stay committed. Today is a new day, and God is on our side! Call on your Heavenly Father to help you were you are at! He is ready and waiting for you. He isn't asking you to be more than what he needs you to be, He is asking for your heart. I promise you He will take care of you and your beautiful heart. You can trust Him!

Monday late afternoon during Teddy's nap time I was able to meet with Papa to read more... "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 God is such a wonderful Papa. He is the ONLY rescuer who has the power to set us free from sin...He IS JESUS!!!  He loves YOU! He loves us so much that He left everything to come and save us and set us free, by His death on a tree at Carvery. His love is unconditional and forever, He is ready to make you whole! He meets us where we are at! He is ready to heal your broken heart, wont you let Him?

I'll let you take this time to spend with your Heavenly Father, the one who loves us because He made us! You are beautiful! He wants to celebrate you! I pray that God spoke to your heart in a new way today, and that you'd let him heal whatever is breaking your heart today! It's not too late! He is ready! Are you?

Until next time,
mama bear

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...

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...
