Everyday. Fill Me Up.

Lord fill me up every day. Your mercies are new every day and you are faithful!
Lamentations 3:22-24

Lately my friends & I have been talking about how lost we would be without God. How low we would feel in life without the constant presence of the Holy Spirit.

Honestly, I would most likely not be alive today without the Holy Spirit carrying me through the darkest places of life. If I didn't know God in a deep everyday kind of way and have the Holy Spirit in my life I would be in a constant state of worry, anxiety, and frustration. Probably anger would weave its way in there too.

But God.

Because I have a relationship with Jesus I have never been that woman. The woman the enemy wants me to be. At pivotal points in our lives we make the choice to decide to follow Jesus or to stay in the places we are in. Even if we already have accepted Jesus as our savior there will still be moments of great hardship, trials, temptations, fears, doubt, lies, anxieties... that we have the choice to allow those to take over our thoughts & life or we make the choice to allow the Lord to take over.

Everyday is a choice.
Everyday is not easy but the more we allow God to fill us up everyday & the more we say yes to his ways the more natural it becomes. The less we think about it & closer we get to Him. He becomes are everything and everything else in life becomes the afterthought.

A Place to Create

Y'all my little room for creating is coming together. If you follow me on Pinterest, click here, thats my mood board for, A Room for Creating. I've been gathering inspiration for a space to call mine in our home. I had a closet office in our last home that was so perfect. But when we moved into this home instead of having a reading room I decided to make that space into my office. Expanding my cute little closet office into a whole room. My husband was sweet and totally on board with this idea.

About a month ago I described to Johnny the type of desk that would be perfect for the space. We went to Lowes & found the perfect legs (fence post) with character for the desk. He had all the wood & supplies at home for the rest of the desk. It turned out so beautiful. My husband is so talented. 

Over the last few weeks I've slowly been decorating this space of mine. Painting a few pieces of art, making hoops with cork board, framing scripture art I've drawn over the last year and being completely giddy over this space. The scripture art on the far left holds a special place in my heart. Over a year ago while drawing it out the Lord began pouring out freedom in my life from the heartache of losing our baby Grace. Thats the day I stopped holding onto so much pain of what could have been. Trusting that God had me.

Y'all I can't believe this space is for me! It is coming together so beautifully. Can't wait to get everything up & show you how it turns out. 

I truly believe it is so important to have a place of your own to create. or write. read. clear your mind. and most importantly dream. turn dreams into reality. Even if your space is as tiny as my little closet office in our last home was or maybe its just a pretty notebook & you sitting in a coffee shop somewhere.... it is important to be alone in that space you call yours to dream. 

I am a dreamer. I always have been. But recently the Lord has been dropping things in my heart that I know are meant to go after. This year he is giving me the courage to do them. Even if I think its a little crazy or too scary. I'm so thankful the Lord gave me Johnny. My husband is truly a gift to me. He encourages me to go after the things the Lord dreams in me. Regardless of how big they seem to me. 

Excited to get this space fully functional & put together soon.
