<\/a><\/p>\nThe last 2 months have been filled with cuddles, snuggles & kisses. Throw in constant diaper changes and being milked like a cow, all the while entertaining my other children since school let out, it\u2019s made for a non-stop flurry of activity. But even in all this, I\u2019ve purposed to SLOW DOWN, to take my own words to heart and EMBRACE THE NOW MOMENT<\/a>. So I\u2019m savoring the sweetness that a newborn brings to the home and enjoying the raucous laughter that the older children bring. Then mix in some sweet sayings from an innocent 5 year old such as, \u201cMommy, you need that feet thing from off the TV to get all that white stuff off the back of your feet\u201d<\/em>, endless fun indeed. Even the 3 year old is giving me plenty to smile about with,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMommy when I\u2019m a grown up and I have money I\u2019m gonna buy you a lot of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cLike what?\u201d<\/p>\n 3 year old: \u201cCandy.\u201d<\/p>\n 5 year old: \u201cYou know mommy doesn\u2019t want candy. She only wants vegetables!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Didn\u2019t I tell you I\u2019ve been entertained? The Lord had been impressing on my heart to laugh more and He has certainly been providing countless opportunities. I don’t want you to miss out on any of the fun, so come visit me on INSTAGRAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ever since I was a little girl, I\u2019ve always loved to write. From poems to short stories to news articles, writing has always been in my blood. I’ve got a degree in Journalism. I\u2019ve known for a very long time that I would one day write books. I\u2019ve drafted plans for several books. I\u2019ve got chapters of several different books living on hard drives and flash drives. Last year I began writing 2 books that I thought would come to fruition this year but the pregnancy last year threw me for a loop.<\/p>\n Early 2016 God told me to put those on hold and to resurrect something I began working on nearly 8 years ago. God has called those dry bones forward and is putting flesh on them. I ask friends that you pray for me as I crucify my flesh so that HIS words can flow freely out of me and onto the page. I feel so ill equipped to write THIS book. But I\u2019m comforted to know God specializes in using ill equipped people.<\/p>\n It is said that a dream without a deadline is a fantasy. With that said, my accountability partners challenged me to \u201cPICK A DATE ALREADY!\u2019 So I\u2019ve got a date to have the manuscript complete. And I\u2019m hiding behind fear so I don\u2019t even want to post the date here. See, this is why y’all gotta pray for me. I’ve been slow to obey with this. And we know that slow to obey = disobedience. I would be remiss if I did not point out that OBEDIENCE is one of the three pillar THIS ministry is built upon so I’ve got to take my own mission to heart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visiting you weekly is something I\u2019ve always enjoyed doing. I never set out to take a a mini blogging break. Each week I pray for you and each week, in my mind, I’ve met you here in this space. I was quite surprised one day when I looked up and realized I hadn\u2019t blogged in over a month. But the break has given me time to focus on my 1st<\/sup> ministry, HOME. But I feel you are family too, so I\u2019ve missed you a great deal. In the event we don\u2019t meet here in this space, I\u2019d love for us to remain connected. You can find on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> & Twitter<\/a>. Though my goal is to still meet you here weekly to share from Jesus, to my heart, to yours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So friends, bask in the sun, embrace the now moment and live your days fully inspired.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Until next time, it is my prayer that you\u2019ve been Inspired To Live Fully<\/em><\/strong>! Oh Inspired Life Family where have you been? I guess the more accurate question is where have I been. I\u2019ve missed you tremendously. It has always been a delight to meet you here is this sacred space. I thank you for receiving the words of grace that God pours out from His heart, to mine, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1],"tags":[727,728,473,726,613],"class_list":["post-4530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-life","category-real-life","tag-baby","tag-book","tag-prayer","tag-where-are-you","tag-writing"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4530"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4530\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4534,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4530\/revisions\/4534"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}A BOOK<\/h2>\n
