Trying to bloom where I am planted.

Growing is hard but the outcome is worth it.

For the past couple of weeks The Lord has been showing me some things that He wants me to grow in(stuff that I have to work on), He's showing me things that He's going to take me through to grow me(stuff the Holy Spirit has to do in me), and He's allowing me to do physical things to grow myself(my choice to grow my skills).

It's been hard but I love the feeling of growing and the feeling of the Holy Spirit working on my heart! The Lord has been showing me some of my faults and some relational issues I have; mostly in my marriage. Some things like, the way I communicate and shut down or even my selfishness; but surrendering them to The Lord and asking for strength to not do those things has been really humbling. If it helps me love and serve my husband better than it's worth it. He's worth it and deserves it. Not only that, but The Lord is ultimately shaping and molding me to look like Him! I want to look like Jesus fo real!

Another thing that I'm really excited about growing in and learning from the The Lord is who I am to him. This past season the Holy Spirit has been highlighting things in my life that have caused confusion and has shown me lies that I have believed about myself. The Lord is slowly speaking to me about my identity in Him and who He says that I am. It's not really anything that I can make myself believe but I can ask and seek The Lord and just allow the Holy Spirit to do what He does. I want to walk in the fullness of who I am and in full confidence! Not only do I want that for myself but I want it for everyone and then we can celebrate together! How beautiful would that be?

Lastly, In this time of growing, The Lord has opened doors for me to be able to grow in things that I enjoy; such as art. Not just in painting and collaging but also in photography and videography which I am über excited about!!! So pray for me, if you will, that I learn quickly and soak it up like a sponge!!

Thanks for reading my blog! Please pray for me as I walk through these things because growing is necessary but not very comfortable! I can use as much grace as I can get!

P.S. You HAVE to check out the FWB Collective!! It just launched but its so fun! It's a group that my husband started of musicians that make a video once a month of themselves singing their originals or even covers. We're definitely on our way to expanding it to all kinds of artists- not just musicians. Artists such as painters, dancers, photographers, videographers and so many more!! Check out the website as well as our YouTube channel, Facebook page, and Instagram!!
