5 Things I’ve Learned in 2018!

Hey SSB Fam!

The year is coming to a close y’all! With only a few days left, if I can summarize this year in two words they will be BUT GOD! Through all the challenges, the stress and the “barriers”, God has been faithful. God is forever teaching me something so here are a few things I’ve learned this year!

1.per·se·ver·ance

As you guys know I am a 1st and 2nd grade SPED teacher and a grad student. I honestly cannot stress that amount of challenges and hardships I deal balancing the two. However, in the process God has taught me what it means to work hard and never get up. There were times when I thought I wouldn’t make deadlines, but I did. This allowed me to rely on God’s strength and believe that he will carry me.

2. God is Faithful and it has nothing to do with me

It’s in God’s character to love. I think that sometimes we fail to realize that he loves us unconditionally. This isn’t human love, but covenant love. There is nothing I can do to make myself “more lovable”.  God knows me, created me and is with me in every moment. My actions doesn’t determine God’s love or actions.

3. Embrace the call

It can be hard to embrace what God has called you to do. It will make you feel stupid, disappointed, like your lacking something, etc. God showed me that when I am obedient to do what He says he honors that. Career wise, this is my second year not working in corporate america. It took me a while to let “teacher” settle into my bones y’all lol. However in my career, I have been rewarded time after time.

4. Protect your space

I am a huge protector about my space. I had to learn that I can protect my space and let people in at the same time. I have to still have those boundaries to honor myself. As the bible says, bad company corrupts good character. I want people around me who can celebrate me, love me, be there for those challenging times, encourage me in the word of God….just genuine people. That means everything to me.

5. Seek out help

I am naturally independent. From when I was a child I formed that habit. I never wanted to be disappointed so I learned how to do things myself. However, I am learning more and more to delegate when I need to. I cannot do everything myself and it’s okay to need people. This new skill (still a work in progress) has allowed so much to happen for me.

He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.-1 Thessalonians 5:24

Keep fighting daily.

Love y’all!

In pregnancy inconsistency/unpredictability is ine In pregnancy inconsistency/unpredictability is inevitable, but it’s the small things in your daily routine that you can control that makes you feel like there is some structure.

@Palmers has been a part of my pregnancy journey from the start and bump care is truly my fave thing. It allows me to speak life into my baby while also doing something for me.

While trying on @AmiCole Lip Treatment Oil in Excellence, I will share 4 things I wish I had known in the beginning of my pregnancy journey. Maybe this can become a series.

It’s Fall and Im definitely stepping up my perfu It’s Fall and Im definitely stepping up my perfume game. When it comes to scents, I love floral with a touch of sophistication . Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf gives just that.

Top notes: Freesia
Middle notes: Centifolia Rose/Jasmine, 
Base notes: Patchouli, Vanilla

It’s a perfect warm floral and woody blend. BEWARits daring explosion of floral notes forming an addictive floral expression of feminity.

Checking in pregnant and a tad bit overwhelmed, bu Checking in pregnant and a tad bit overwhelmed, but God definitely has me. Also finally feeling the burst of 2nd trimester energy (most days)!

I don’t think anyone talks about the all the emotions that come with pregnancy….or it’s talked about enough. If you know me, I’m always on the go and I feel myself slowing down even more as I get further along. I’m learning to give myself grace because I’m growing a human….first the first time. 

I’m also days away from halfway through y’all! Pero like?!…

I think until you experience pregnancy, you don’t really know the effort that it takes, the mindset you constantly have to adjust and the amounts of highs & lows you feel. The energy of filtering out the many opinions that don’t apply 😂. Whew Chile!

So here’s to the journey and giving myself grace every step of the way 🤎.

PS: This two piece set from @forever21 is perfect and so comfortable. The bump is growing and jeans ARE NOT an option.

Boy or Girl?! Heading into month 5 of pregnancy a Boy or Girl?!

Heading into month 5 of pregnancy and I have so many feelings. The journey is scary, exciting, HARD, joyous, transformational and overwhelming all at the same time. It’s moments like this that makes this journey worth it all. This moment in our journey brought us even closer to our little one. 

We had an intimate reveal, just Jose and I. Grateful for our family participating in the video and this moment overall. Loved the intimacy of this moment as we are building our own little family. We went out for some much needed crab cakes to celebrate after lol. 

All I can say is that we are graced for this journey by God and grateful for the support of community (family and friends). He has shown me in this journey that we will never lack what we need. Also, my man my man my man, thank you for being so supportive ❤️.
