So you’re stuck. It’s almost like nothing is happening. Maybe you feel like you’re at a standstill. You’re bored, you’re stagnant, you’re just floating by. Not making progress but not really moving backwards either. Maybe you have the same routine every day or work is just getting to the point where its super predictable. I don’t know what your situation is, but I’ve learned recently that none of this is as bad as it may seem. There are a few things I want to bring up about this. Lets get into it… BE STILL First, I’ll share a few words from scripture for you. Some of you may read what…

Life is like Putting Together Ikea Furniture|a devotional
Have you guys ever seen those “Pinterest fails”? They show the “What it should look like” photo first, followed by the “What it actually looks like” photo you created. If you haven’t failed at trying to recreate a Pinterest DIY, I can almost guarantee you’ve taken a shot at assembling Ikea furniture. Am I right?? Ikea furniture is the impossible puzzle. If you are like most, you probably glance over the instructions, find that it’s “simple enough” to put together a book shelf, and proceed to put together what you assume is going to be a quick and easy project. Ikea furniture always appears to be simple, and always proves…

Proverbs 31:25
“She is Clothed in Strength and Dignity and laughs without fear of the Future” Proverbs 31:25 Why this verse? Why is this the one I post in my bio? Why do I have it on the back of my Tayla’s Closet sweater?? This verse has stuck with me for so many years. It’s the backbone of my company, and it is why I am now a full-time blogger and the reason why I wasn’t afraid to drop everything to chase my dream. When I first started this journey, so many people would judge me or question my dream of being in the fashion industry. As I’ve stated many times on…

What Happens When the Battle Chooses You?
Inspired by Pastor Steven Furtick & Lauren Daigle. By Tayla Santos My Story Living with an illness is tough. It’s especially tough when the doctors can’t even tell you exactly what it is that you have. “It must be some type of Autoimmune deficiency”, they say, and I leave the doctors office again with no answers and a series of antibiotics. Ive been sick on and off for three years now. Im great for about three months and then bed ridden for the next month with out warning. It’s tiring and its gotten to the point where all motivation to figure out what’s wrong with me has dissolved. So why…

My Little Brother is Cooler Than me…
How My Little Brother Coped with our Parents Divorce For those of you who don’t know, the last three years have been tough on my family. With my dad leaving the family after my parents being together for almost 25 years, things felt like they were falling apart for a while, especially for my little brother, who was just turning 13 at the time. I was so proud of him when instead of turning to harmful methods of coping, turned to music and vented through writing song lyrics. Not only can my brother goal keep on the soccer field, but he is also a relatable song writer! My Brother is…

Dating as a Young Christian Woman
By Tayla Santos I never thought I would actually write anything even close to this topic and even as I start this off now, I’m a little hesitant and cautious of my wording and sentence structure because I don’t want anything to come off in the wrong way. I want to be sure that I am delivering what it is I have to say in a way that it will be understood and received, in the way I am intending it to. However, if it is not taken in the way I intend it, let it be taken in however God can use it to better the reader. Ever since…

He Loves me as His Own
Isaiah 66: 12-14 Tonight was one of those nights! I was up and scrolling through my phone and God was pulling at my heart. Telling me to grab my bible. He had something to tell me & Ive learned my lesson once before, so I didn’t even think twice. This is the second time I’ve opened my bible up to Isaiah though, so maybe I should just read through the whole book? Hmm *thinking emoji*. I opened up to Isaiah 66 today and started reading at verse 12 and read through verse 14. I had to read through it a few times before I could understand what it was I…

Isaiah 52-54
Hi there Everyone. I hope you all had a great week and enjoyed your Friday. I did a little shopping for some room decor and had an egg sandwich for dinner so I would say I had a pretty good evening lol. (: I thought I would just come on here and share my devotion from tonight because it really spoke to me and I feel like It might do the same for others. Im not really sure what the best way to format this would be and I might change the formatting later, from post to post. Usually for my devotions I use the “S.O.A.P” method. The letters stand…

He Answered Me
Jeremiah 1: 4-10 Here it is!! I guess its in His plan for me to start sharing my journey tonight! Lately things have shifted in my life. All my life I would hear people in my family and in my church family talk about how God had spoken to them at one point in their life. I always craved that. I wanted to hear what God wanted from me. What he had planned for me to do and how he was going to guide me in the right path and allow that plan to unfold for me. In the past few months I spent a lot of time in prayer.…
