He's Able!



Hi Friends! 

I just wanted to jump on here today to remind you that GOD IS ABLE! No matter the situation or the circumstance God is able.  There is nothing that is too hard or impossible for God.  Not only can He turn your situation around but He can do far greater than you could ever imagine.  Don't give up. Keep praying.  Keep praising.  Keep Seeking.  Keep Believing.  At a moment's notice, God will turn things around!

It's Our Anniversary!!!


One Year Down...A Lifetime To Go!


July 11, 2015 was one of the happiest days of our lives.  It was the day that the two of us became one. Fast forward 365 days and we are just as happy and in love as we were the day we said I do! We have had a great first year.  We've had our ups and our downs and we've had our trials but through them all we continue to keep our faith and trust in God and allow Him to see us through every situation.  I am so thankful to God for blessing me with such a great guy.  He loves and accepts me for me...flaws and all. He's patient and kind.  He's the hardest working man I know and he's a great provider. He encourages me to go after all of my dreams and he is my #1 supporter.  He's been such a blessing to my life and I couldn't imagine him not being apart of it. I have watched God do some amazing things in his life over the past year and I know that God has much more in store for him and us.  We have grown both as individuals and a couple over the past year.  With God, we will continue to grow.  We believe that the best is still yet to come and we are very excited about future.  I love doing life with this guy and I am looking forward to spending a couple of forever's with him. Happy Anniversary My Love! Forever your Mrs. 

...and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Mark10:8

Attitude of Gratitude!


Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! 
1 Chronicles 16:8

Purpose Driven Women Magazine held a 30-day Gratitude Challenge, in which I chose to participate. In all honesty, I'm usually not good at completing challenges that have a number of days attached to it. Especially a large number like 30 lol. But I thought this was a really good challenge so I decided to really push myself to complete it. I am so happy to say that I did complete the challenge and I really enjoyed the experience!  

The challenge helped me to have a more positive mind set. I focused more on the positive side of things than the negative. When negative thoughts tried to come in I would cast them down and replace them with a positive thought and prayer. My husband and I had a couple of unexpected situations to come up that would originally cause me to really stress out but instead of stressing I went to God in prayer and thanked him for working out the situations even before they were worked out. Going to God helped me to not worry and to trust God with the outcome. I am happy to say that he worked each situation out. After each situation was worked out I would go before God again with praise and thanksgiving.

Having an attitude of gratitude really allows you to put life into perspective. No, things may not be perfect or exactly how you want them but if you focus on what you do have you will realize how blessed you really are. Things could always be a lot worse. I am so glad that I participated in the challenge because it really was a life changing experience. I am more grateful, my outlook is more positive and I am even more excited about the things God has in store for my family and I. My plan is to continue the gratitude challenge and make it a way of life. God has been so good me and I owe Him my praise. 

I encourage everyone to head on over to Purpose Driven Women Magazine (pdwmag.com) and accept the challenge! Dedicate the next 30 days to having an attitude of gratitude. You will not be disappointed!




With Gallons of Love,
