Welcome 2020!

 

Hello beautiful readers & welcome to a NEW YEAR! 

Are you as excited about this new year as much as I am?! Have you set new goals and resolutions for yourself? 

In years past I have been challenged to set new years resolutions, you know the ones: lose weight, working out more, keep my house cleaner and more organized...and come the spring I would start to fall away from my resolutions. By summer and possibly the  beginning of fall I'd begin to forget what my goal was for the year or have gotten so discourage I'd feel the need to just give up!

Let me share with you something the Lord has placed on my heart, and I can't keep it to myself... 
GOD LOVES YOU! AMEN!!! That's right! He loves you, He created you special and in His image. He wants you to spend some time with him.  He has won the victory over all that we face day by day in our everyday life. The trials that we face are to grow us in our faith found only in Jesus Christ our Savior. If you don't know your Father in Heaven, Your Creator, Savior, Papa...I pray that you would, He is waiting for you! Are you ready!?

I've found in my walk with Jesus when I spend time with Him, He helps me meet the goals I have set. "If our God is for us, then who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 I have found this to be so true in my walk more recently than ever. Let me answer the questions I asked you in the beginning, YES! I am so very excited about this year, why?! Because Jesus is my Savior, He loves me because He created me and wants the best for me. What are my goals for myself this year? Well, let me share them with you ( and if you see me out and about you can say, "Hey Liz, how are your new year's resolutions coming along?" ) 
1. Grow more with Christ Jesus and allow Him to change my heart to continue to be more like His. He created me and He knows what is best for me! 
2. Shower my hubby with more love this year and years to come! God has blessed me with the best hubby in the world, and I appriceate all that he does for our family, me and our marriages. God tugged on my heart months ago and asked me, "Are you loving your hubby like I showed you how to love?". And In my heart I had room to grow in this area of my life.
3. Live a more healthier me! Being mindful of what fuels my body and how to get creative when getting active. Lets be real! Losing weight and working out can be so hard, trust me, this has been an on going resolution for YEARS, Praise the Lord my view of what healthy looks like has changed. And with God's help I have been able to make it closer to my goal. 
I pray that as you read and join me on my journey through life, the Lord will move and challenge you to see Him more clearly than ever before! I can tell you that giving my life over to Him has not been easy, but has been so beautifully rewarding!
  
until next time,
mama bear

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 ...

Are you living...

a fearful life or a faith filled life?  A few years ago a co-worker and sister in Christ shared where God had her and this questioned appeared: Are you living by fear or by faith? What a beautiful, challenging, and encouraging question! In the last week or more our lives have changed what our "normal" routines look like due to the virus outbreak. How are you doing with this change? What was your first reaction? Was is to run out to all the stores and stock up on everything to live on and for how long? Was is to check in with your families from around the world to see how they are? Did you think to check on the elder lady or gent who lives alone next door who might need something? Did you stop and pray?  The Lord has brought this question to my heart "Liz, are you living by fear or faith?" In this world that we live in it's very easy to become distracted, distant, busy. But how's your walk with the Lord these days? Are you living in f...

Happy Easter!!!

He is RISEN!   He is RISEN INDEED!!! What a beautiful Easter day! When God woke me up this morning at 6am, before the sunrise, I started to think about all the Easter Sunday's I have celebrate throughout my life so far. I wondered how many I've celebrate... if I did my math right, I've celebrated 27 (thanks hubby for checking my math) Easters! WOW!!! that's a lot of Easter celebrations!  For  most of us, we have different family traditions for so many holidays...what are your family traditions for Easter?  I started thinking about what my family of origin ( the family that God blessed me with: my mother Terri, my earthly father Herb iii, my brother Herb IV, and my baby sister Sarah. ) Easter traditions were growing up, here is what I remember: we would dye Easter eggs and decorate with the magic clear crayon and stickers that came in the box mom bought from the store, we did egg hunts hosted by the Air Fo...
