Embrace

Hello friends! It's Jennifer and I'm up today with a layout using my word of 2015: Embrace. Did you know Clear Scraps will do Custom Acrylic Word Titles, as well as Acrylic or Chipboard Wordbooks? I was so excited when Susan talked to me at CHA this past January about the design team designating a word to be the theme for 2015. Instantly I know what word I would choose.

Why this word? I struggle with living in the moment and being present. I need to EMBRACE each day and all of the little details that come with. I will admit I can be a control freak and I will let anxiety control my mood. However, I know need to give it over to God and realize HE is in control; not me.

Sometimes life events will cause you to realize that you need to slow down and stop worrying about every little detail. I lost my mom to cancer six years ago and it changed me. I learned life is short and I had to cherish each day; to take the good with the bad.

I will say I am far from perfecting this idea. I still worry and get anxious. Most of the time I let it get the best of me. At the end of the day I know I am human and imperfect, but I have a perfect God that loves me unconditionally.

And I know my mother wished for me to keep enjoying life and being the best mom I can be.

Thanks for allowing me to share a little bit about myself and my word of 2015! I hope this will inspire you do live each day to the best of your ability. Many blessings!
