Quote of the Day

My husband and I can actually relate closely to this quote. When you get married or even when you’re about to have a baby, people will ALWAYS try to encourage you to do things certain ways and/or convince you on how to/how not to live your lives. Not that I don’t appreciate the suggestions, but everyone is always going to have something to say. Have you ever noticed that? Well, if you haven’t..be prepared! I want to say, take what everyone has to say with a grain of salt, and do what you know feels right. However, I was taught in ministry that sometimes we shouldn’t do what we “feel” is right all the time because you have to use your mind also. I’m not sure if I completely agree with Mrs. Roosevelt on this one, but I do know she was right about the criticism part. Don’t let people control/influence your decisions on how to live out your married vocation and on how to raise your child. Only you (and your spouse) can make decisions that are right for the both of you. No one else’s opinion matters… honestly.

Have a great day and a great week!

Live inspired.

Quote of the Day

Today I am back to work (ugh!) and am currently counting down the days until this baby pops out (17 weeks left give or take).  I hope this quote finds you well. I’ve been thinking about the conversations I have with people nowadays. Usually they are pretty deep and meaningful, but there are the days where I find myself thinking, “Why am I even talking about this?” I think at times we often waste our energies on talking about things that really don’t matter. I actually laugh to myself when I hear people talking about the Kardashians or the next celebrity couple…only because there are so many more important things we can discuss about. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, I leave this quote with you this week to ponder about the conversations you have. Are there things that irritate you that shouldn’t? Do you find yourself getting frustrated over simple things that can be fixed? I challenge you to ask yourselves these questions because I know..deep down..your mind is more brilliant than you might think!
