ONE DOWN 100 MORE TO GO

 

"And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:22-24

As Carlos and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary, my heart is rejoicing in gladness, I never imagined marriage to be this sweet and incredibly wonderful. In my singleness I always dreamed of being married and pictured it to be some what like a fairytale. After celebrating one year of marriage, I have realized marriage is greater than a fairytale, greater than a wedding it's a gift from God. I wish I could express how truly wonderful marriage is and how beautiful it is to please the Lord together as husband and wife.
All I can say is being able to experience such a divine gift makes me so excited about Heaven.
Ladies, marriage is worth the wait, it truly is!
 

We had so much fun during our one year anniversary shoot! I put on my veil, wedding shoes & accessories and my hubby wore his bow tie & wedding shoes. It was especial magical being surrounded by all the amazing rental pieces we used on our special day! I want to thank my sweet friend & vendor Vivian Khanh for allowing us to shoot at her shop & letting us use her gorgeous pieces.
I also want to thank my sweet friend Vanessa Gonzales who did such an amazing job capturing
all the love and excitement my husband and I are feeling celebrating the big ONE year!!!

"But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh, so then they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."  Mark 10-:6-9

 

DIY WALL DECOR

 

Its Friday ladies! Incase you have some free time this weekend and would like to add a lil somethin' somethin' to that plain white wall in your home, here's a cute and inexpensive DIY! You will need: spoons, cardboard, scissors, spray paint (your chose of color), glue & glue gun and any size mirror you'd like!

 

Once you gather all your materials, you will then need to cut & trace your cardboard and snap your spoons (I had my strong handsome husband help me with that part, thank you my love!) Begin by gluing the spoons from the outside in, and when you finally get all the spoons glued on, its time to spray! Hold off on gluing the mirror until once the spray paint has dried.

 

After the paint has dried and the mirror has been glued, you will need to create a backing to hang it up (I forgot to take a picture of the back but all I did was create a loop with some twine and glued it).

 

Hope you ladies enjoyed this fun, simple and inexpensive DIY. Please feel free to email me or comment below your questions and share with me your finished pictures! Have a blessed weekend <3

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY LADIES! I hope each of you were able to have a sweet sweet mother's day whether it was celebrating you as a mom or being able to celebrate your own mothers. This mother's day was special to me because I was able to spend with both my mom and Carlos' mom at church.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Continue to love your mothers, to show them your appreciation each and every day, reminding them of Christ's love and faithfulness. ♡

Praise to God for a Living Hope

 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9)

 

I hope you ladies are having a great week so far! Let's continue to seek Jesus!

THE BEAUTY OF SPRING

 

Happy Friday ladies, its time for strappy heels and flowy dresses! Spring has finally started to blossom and I could not be any more anxious and giddy! This time of the year holds many beautiful memories for me including meeting my husband & celebrating his birthday, remembering my bridal shower, and marrying my true love & best friend which now means we get to celebrate our wedding anniversary every spring! Most of all, I love this season for what it represents in my life as a believer in Jesus Christ. “But God demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Jesus bore the punishment we deserved, and by His death we are completely forgiven, justified, healed, cleansed, and redeemed!

This weekend we celebrate His great victory, "...The angel said, 'Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!" (Mark 16:6). Death could not hold Him, He is risen and HE IS ALIVE! 

 

I pray you all continue to have a wonderful week with eyes focused on Christ and hearts ready to serve Him.
xoxo
