Little Bit Of My Family

We actually did our own family photos last month, and I must say it always makes for a less stressful experience for my boys and the hubby.  We went to visit my sister and her family in November in Conroe TX, and decided to have my niece snap a few shots(she did an awesome job). Then I returned the favor and snapped a few of my sister and her family. They have the perfect property for a photo shoot and I just love visiting any time of the year. My little escape with my little family. 

I don't ever want to pretend to be a photographer, because I have such talented photographer friends, but sometimes we have to do what works in that moment, right?

Thought I would finally share a few... 

Coffee & Words: Don't Settle

When you pray and ask God to give you wisdom and direction through it all, and he opens the door for you to walk right in. Why would you then question how big that platform looks and talk yourself out of standing in the greatness before you?  Why do you feel like you need to settle for something less exciting, less adventurous, less thinking, less fearful? Why do you feel like when it's right in front of you, you can't handle it?  

God doesn't want you to settle for just anything, he wants you to have greatness, as you walk in BIG faith in him.  He wants to give you the desires of your heart, and as he brings that desire to life, he wants you to lean on him to give you the strength and wisdom to not settle along the way.  He aligns all the right things, people, and  tools, to not have to settle for less. 

Galatians 6:9 reads; Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

So, why settle for the least amazing thing, when you can have the BEST.  Instead let him bring all the wonderful that he promises you and let him lead you to the TOP.

Coffee & Words: YOU ARE CAPABLE

Why are you sitting around waiting for the right thing to happen in your life,  when you know the time is now. The time is now to live the life that you are called to live, the time is now to rise up and be all that you are called to be, the time is now to be BOLD! 

Do you feel like you can't do it, because you were told by someone you can't; do you feel like you are not smart enough, not skinny enough, not the right shade, not pretty enough , not enough friends, hair is to short or finances don't make sense. Are you sitting around waiting for everything to line up the way you think it should?

Well I'm here to tell you, it won't get done if you keep talking yourself out of it!  Get off you butt and go do it! If God put the vision in you, what makes you think you aren't capable of getting it done. If you know that you are suppose to be walking towards that great thing that you are dreaming about each day, and that thing that makes you smile to even just think about. Then why aren't you praying over it and asking God for the next steps, why are you sitting on it like it's going to just happen on it's own?

It's time to rise up and do great things! You are capable, because God says you are! 

Inspired Home: OH My Shelfie

We will be starting back up the Inspired Home series on the blog this year.  With this series hopefully you will be inspired to tackle some stylish updates around your home and bring lots of Joy into your space. 

I don't know about you, but the start of the New Year brings on a craving to de-clutter, organize, and opens up new ideas and projects around my home.. Seriously it can be a little crazy when I start making lists of things my hubby should do, build or hang!LOL

Lately, I have been inspired by lovely styled shelving and how it can make a space look designer instantly. I will be sharing my own simple shelving addition soon, but for now I'll let you dream with me on a bigger scale.
