Genuinely, Roxy




Sometimes. Sundays are hard. This day is supposedly the time for families to be together. At church, you can see families with their little cute kiddos. These little monsters would be running around being chased by their parents, crying for some snacks, or some other random things they do during church meetings.

As we sat in Sacrament today, the couple that spoke today talked about the topic of how God's timing worked for them. While the wife mentioned how she waited for God to give her the husband she wanted, her husband talked about how everything happens for a reason and it will happen in God's timing. He talked about the bible story of Zechariah and Elizabeth didn't have any kids until they were in the older age and had a son who later became John the Baptist. It later dawned on me that life is definitely mysterious and God works in mysterious ways. The husband also mentioned that a member of his family had a hard time getting pregnant too, went through some challenging times, and eventually had 2 kids through treatments and adoption.

I sat there listening to his talk and pondered about his topic. Recently, I've been praying a lot about when it's our turn to be parents. As members of our church, we try to be as righteous as possible, be good members of society, and be His faithful servants to serve and minister to others. However, I sometimes think, am I doing enough? What am I doing wrong? When is it my turn? But, with faith and trust, we can just keep waiting, I just hope it's not too long. All my husband and I can do is do our best and let Him handle the rest.

Happy Sunday friends! Stay Smiling!

Genuinely,
Roxy

During the holidays, I would listen to countless of podcasts from Jenna Kutcher, Beth Kirby, Rachel Hollis, Sara Tasker, and Julie Solomon. These ladies are powerful and motivational speakers that they have sparked something in me. Most of these podcasters talk about how to be successful in life, creativity, and business. As I sat listening to them, I kept asking myself the same question over and over again: "What do I want to change this year about myself?" This question haunted me time and time again until I noticed on my Instagram feed that people would choose a word that will signify their 2019 goal. I kept contemplating what word I should choose and I definitely dug deep into my soul for days. Finally, I came up with the word: GROW!

The reason I came up with the word "GROW" was because I wanted to do something significant and challenging. I have lots of goals that I want to do this year and I know that if I want to succeed with the goals I have listed, I needed to change, I needed to grow. I wanted to grow creatively, spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.

In the picture, I picked out some materials I had that I thought would be a great source of inspiration for me.

1. Laptop: I want to be able to grow my blog. I want to be able to share ideas, tips, advice on life, home decor, and how to cope with infertility.

2. Polaroid/Camera: I want to be able to grow my skills in photography. Not just for Instagram and my blog, but for the sake of also capturing memories. I used to be good at it but then for some reason stopped taking pictures.. maybe because I was living in the moment rather than capturing the moment.

3. Traveler's Notebook: I want to be able to grow by keeping track of everything. It holds my planner, my expenses tracker, my ideas, my goals, all of my lists! It goes everywhere with me and I don't leave the house without it.

4. Books: I want to be able to hone my creative skills both personally and for business. I want to dig deep into my creative side where I can find something that I love and share it with everyone. I want to be able to make my home cozy and inviting so that when guests come in, they feel welcomed and that there's good and happy energy to be felt. I want to be able to learn how to work Instagram; to show my creativity and attract potential customers for my niche. And lastly, I would love to be able to learn how to branch out by learning things that intimidate me like florals and macrame.

5. Phone: I want to be able to discipline myself with social media and spend more quality time with the people around me instead of staring and scrolling on my phone.

6. Letterboard: This is my reminder in my office that this is my year to shine, to better myself, and to grow.

There you have it! Some of the motivational materials that will help me succeed this year. Part 2 of this series will come soon. Happy day my friends! Keep smiling!

ABOUT ME

 photo IMG_7922_1.jpg Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm a gal fueled by wanderlust, cozy living, good reads, and giggles. I made this blog to share a glimpse of this journey we call life as we struggle to overcome infertility while preparing a lovely home for our future kids whether they will be biological or not. Stick around and let's be friends. Remember, we're in this together!

THE CREW

 photo 8751bcc9-d576-442a-8f03-238c9584e995.jpg This is our family, our own paw patrol. Throughout the years, my sweet husband, Curt and I got these fluffers to fill the void of having kids. They are awesome and we love them, like a lot! Some would say that they are spoiled rotten which I totally agree LOL! Nanu is the American Eskimo, Miko is the Mini Australian Shepherd (AKC has mentioned that his breed is now officially American Shepherd), and Marley is the lil ShihTzu. They are a rowdy trio who keeps us busy both day and night. Like Mom and Dad, they love to go on adventures and travel. They both love barking, running, eating tons of food, and most of all, cuddles!
