You Are Loved

Life has its ups an downs that’s a guarantee. Well this particular season of my life has had lots of ups and downs. Days of feeling very unloved.

The true genuine smile my daughter gives is a reminder that I am loved. She loves me unconditionally. Even more so God loves me with with such a unique love. In this rocky season of change and ups and downs, he has used Promise to show and remind me that I am loved. Just as I let Promise know every minute of everyday that she is loved.

We are uniquely loved because we were uniquely created. Marvelously loved one , there is absolutely nothing accidental about you. Your eternal father is the only one who has the right to define you. What you have and what you do and who surrounds you can change, but it is vitally important that you never loose who you are and the creator to whom you belong. You are a unique expression of Gods love to others.

In these tougher seasons, when everything is coming at you and you are giving it all out, we need to remember to take that time to turn to God so that He can remind us that those are all lies. We are loved, we are enough. Our Heavenly Father loves us and thinks that we are more than enough. If we live by our feelings alone, they will lie to us and it will not be long before we are led astray. The truth is you are loved, no matter what the words are coming at you. On a daily bases I need to turn to him so that I can have my cup filled up, especially when I am feeling empty, even if its just listening to his Word or listening to worship. There is no greater way to bring out what is unique in you than to pursue God.

God is love, and I am Loved and I can Love
He is Life, and I am Alive
He is Able, so I am Capable

The bible doesn’t say we will never have ups and downs, but it matters what we do in those moments. Jesus says he will never leave us no forsake us. He is going to give us a sense of Joy.

That beautiful smile that she gives me first thing every morning is a gift from God. 

Strong Mama Strong Kids

Strong mama Strong kids

In my last post I wrote last week, I talked about the importance of speaking words of life over your children. Today I want to talk about being a strong mama.

When we take care of ourselves as moms, mentally, physically and spiritually we are able to be healthy strong moms for our kids. It’s important that we take care of our health in our diet, but it goes so much more beyond that. Just as we speak those words of life over our children we need to speak those same words over ourselves. Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, Your life will start to change.

 Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

When you take the time everyday to speak over yourself, your day, your children and your family, its amazing how those negative thoughts and attitudes can leave you. When you start believing the words God has said of you, you become more confident and stronger in all areas of your life. When you become strong in yourself it makes it possible to be able to help raise strong confident sons and daughters. It’s a daily decision that we need to make to renew our minds with our thoughts.

I want Promise (my 2 month old daughter) to grow up knowing what it looks like to be a strong confident woman. I want a daughter to grow up striving to accomplish all her dreams without looking back and wondering what if. I prayed daily and still do for my daughter since before she was born, she makes me strive to be a better person, so that I can be all that I can be. When she sees a mom that doesn’t give up on her dreams, I then pray she knows to never give up on the dreams God has placed inside of her.

My daughter is an answer to prayer that I will never take for granted. We should never take a day or moment of our kids lives for granted but also take that time for ourselves to be the one they can turn to for a strong healthy role model in this crazy life.

Always remember you are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. Smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined.

Its a new Year, new Day, new Season, make it fresh and create new goals today to conquer this year.
