How to overcome guilt or judgement by spending time in Romans 14

Romans 14: How to overcome guilt or judgement

It’s been so long since I’ve written a faith centered post… (here’s the last one) and I have felt the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart this last month.

I find it ironic that I am the first person to build people up and tell them they can do anything, yet I find myself crippled by sharing anything lately. Not because I have fear or self-consciousness, I mostly have suffered a writer’s block of sorts.  I have been so dedicated to reading my Bible this year, despite getting a late start after taking months off. #truth

Central Texas day trip: Boerne, Texas

7 / 11 / 187 / 10 / 18

Flashback Funtiques Borne Texas

I picked up the Summer issue of Magnolia Journal and was completely inspired by an article by Chip and Joanna talking about their day-dates. Every month, my husband and I make our best attempts at going out when my parents visit, but sometimes a dinner at a restaurant simply isn’t enough.

Inspired and determined, Mi Amor and I hopped in the car on Saturday morning and drove down Highway 46.

We picked Boerne as our destination, and it was a beautiful, scenic one hour drive from New Braunfels. We had stayed in the town for a wedding in 2016, but with a 6-month-old in tow it was a blur! It was great to go back and explore the charming town.

My American Tale: I’m a daughter of an immigrant

7 / 6 / 1811 / 11 / 20
With my Welito & Welita on my wedding day
With my Welito & Welita at my wedding, 2014

My family’s history is so special to me. I have always loved sharing my abuelito’s story because it paved the way for me to experience freedom, faith and being born a United States citizen. Before we dive in, I want you to know this is not a politically driven post. But it is a story I want to share about my Mexican-American family and culture, and why I am proud to be a daughter of an immigrant.

Planning your New Braunfels date night

6 / 25 / 186 / 25 / 18

Date night at the Texas Ski Ranch

Date nights are cherished for my husband and I now that we are parents. It is an interesting change to go from just the two of us to becoming three. With no family nearby, we are very fortunate to have my parents visit us monthly so we can get out and enjoy each other’s company.

How to build community as a stay at home mom

6 / 6 / 182 / 19 / 19

How to make mom friends

When I made the transition to stay home with BabyCoolJ last year I went from having a very full calendar to not a thing to do. No mom friends, no playdates, no activites. As a social (yet love-my-alone-time) person, I knew I needed to work on changing that stat.

Within months I had met the most amazing moms, joined multiple groups and built real community. If we hadn’t moved, I like to think my kiddo would have grown up with all these friends, and I’d continue to have lots of play dates and mommy dates.

Now that we’re in a new town, I am starting from scratch. And I’m not letting any time pass! We enjoyed our first few weeks being home and getting to know our new town, but both my son and I need friends. We need community.

So I think I’m in a pretty good place to make some suggestions to moms out there that are seeking friendships. Here are some of my favorite ways I’ve met my mom friends:

From faithless to faithful: how I found my way back to God (part 2)

4 / 9 / 184 / 8 / 18

While there is a lot to share my in my early years, these last few years have been a whirlwind of excitement as I found my way back to God. If you’re just tuning in, I wanted to take some time to share my personal testimony. My most popular posts like this one, this one, and this one are all about God, so what better way to celebrate than with my own faith journey?

If you read part 1, you know a little about my background pre-2010’s. Now I’m going to dive into my favorite part, especially because it includes my husband!

From faithful to faithless: a look at my early years with Christ (part 1)

4 / 2 / 184 / 3 / 18

She Speaks Truth Bible

I’ve been wanting to share my testimony for some time, yet every time I sit down to write it I become distracted or am all-over-the-place with what direction to take. I consider my testimony to have been at it’s peak around 2014, when actually I have so many stories to share from sometime in the 90’s all the way to this year, 2018.

So where do I start? Well, let’s go back a little….

3 / 30 / 184 / 28 / 18

It’s been nearly a year since I unofficially launched my blog, and it sure has changed a lot! In January I finally locked down my branding, domain and focus. One thing I didn’t include was “Lisa’s Loves” ….but I’ve decided to bring it back!

I love sharing my favorite products/buys, and what better place than here? So, let’s jump right in.

Girl, no matter your size, you can find your inner confidence. I know it, I trust it. And while my story is about a former bushy-eyebrowed, unfashionable chubby girl, this is for any girl that may lack in self confidence.

The best way to start your day

3 / 5 / 183 / 4 / 18

Okay, so before you read past the title I have a confession: even though I am about to share the best way to start your day, I am guilty of hitting that snooze button and skipping over this more than I’d like to admit. There are days that I don’t even set an alarm (aka pre-meditated snoozing). Those days are never as good, no matter how many great activities we have planned.

I am not a morning person. In fact, my father would throw water on me in the mornings so I would wake up for school. Then I would proceed to sleep in the bathtub while the shower ran. I’m grumpy. I am naturally a night owl, I was never meant for mornings.
