God never loses faith in us so why do we stop God from showing us? The old me had every piece of my life planned out. The old me was afraid to take big leaps of faith and follow my heart. The old me let the fear of failure dictate my actions, let outside voices influence my steps, and let worry control my thoughts. I’d spend too much time tip-toeing over the edge or just testing…

    Chautauqua, New York

    Part two of our New York trip was visiting my husband’s family lake house on Chautauqua Lake, owned by his Grandparents, GiGi and Gruss. Tates’s family has been going every summer since before he was even born. It’s a great sense of community. Everyone knows everyone. My husband is pretty much related to half of them. This post is going to basically be just a photo dump of the whole week we were there. I hope you enjoy it! The Fourth of July Fourth of July was packed with fun!

    Buffalo

    Buffalo ,New York was part one of our summer trips this year. I’ve only been to Buffalo once, and it was less than 24 hours so needless to say I was excited to stay a little bit longer this time. The trip started with us getting up at 4 am and driving 10 hours. We stayed with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend (Tucker and Laura) in their cute home just outside of Buffalo in a small town called Derby. We spent a few days seeing the sites and getting the grand tour. The first place we went was a bar on Lake Erie called Turtle Joes Sandbar. Fun place right…

    You Are Enough | Faithful Friday

    When the world may say, “You aren’t enough.” Jesus says, “You are set apart and chosen.” It may say, “You are too weak.” Jesus says, “In your weakness, I am strong.” And when it says, “You are worthless.” But Jesus says, “While you were sinners, I died for YOU.” Remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. {Pslams 139:14} YOU ARE ENOUGH. MORE THAN ENOUGH Inside of you is every single quality that you need to fulfill your unique purpose in the world. I know that some days can be tougher than others. To know that you are worthy of being loved and to know that you have a solid…

    Praying Big & Asking Big

    What does praying big & asking big mean? God doesn’t want us to just barely get by in life. He wants us to thrive, and prosper. To experience the fullness of all of His blessings! Not only does He want to meet our needs, but He also wants to give us every desire of what’s in our hearts. Praying big & asking big is what pleases him because it shows that we totally and completely believe in Him! FAITH CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS! So I encourage you to get bold with your prayers. Ask Him for big things. Believe that he is working behind the scenes in your life to bless…

    Valentine’s Day

    Valentine’s Day. A day for all things love! I for one absolutely love LOVE! Give me all the Rom Coms, romantic books, basically anything with a relationship in it, and I’m set for life. I have always been that way though. That’s probably why I look forward to Valentine’s Day so much. So of course I had to make a blog post about it. I can remember back to sitting at my desk in the 4th-grade daydreaming away about who I was going to marry, what my wedding was going to look like, all the fun adventures I was going to have with the love of my life. Little did…

I know that I already have an about me page, but I thought that I would dive in deeper. First of all I cant believe I’m sitting here writing my very first blog post.
