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 short" and I never understood that until I had a baby of my own. Even though I have held you in my arms for an entire year, I still am in awe and amazement every morning I wake up, walk into your room and look down to pick you up that God chose Me to be your mama bear! I can't believe you are mine...you have my excited personality, your hair has my red tint in it when the sun shines on you, and you love life and all that God has just started to show you. 
Thank you God for created Teddy, and in trusting him to Justin and me to raise with your guidance. 
Sweet Teddy Bear, your papa and I are so proud of you and the little (not so little) boy you are growing up to be, don't grow up too fast!
Your very proud and honored mama bear, Happy first birthday my sweet baby boy!

 until next time
mama bear

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...
