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
Liz

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...

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 ...
