If you know me at all, you know that there aren’t many times in my life I am rendered speechless. But, whenever I try to sum up my ever evolving relationship with this man... or the way that he makes me feel... or the depth of his love for Jesus & for our people, all people... I find myself lacking. He stands firmly by my side, as loyal as they come. He reminds me of what matters in the long run when I get caught up in what the day has brought. He serves our family endlessly

I swear this kid is gonna be crawling in NO TIME at all!! #6months in one week!! 🤗 Where does the time go?!

You don't live in the past, nor do you allow fear to steal your future. You don't watch life happen, you actually make it happen. You literally act as if your life depended on it, because it does! And you don't settle for less than the calling that God has on your life. Besides being an incredible wife, mother, and friend.. These are just a few of the many reasons why I love you so much! I'm constantly in awe of you. ❤️

Sitting here planning our upcoming trip to Vegas with my hubby & best friend for an INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP conference for some of the top coaches in our biz & I CANNOT STOP thinking about I where I was just two short years ago. Before I began coaching, when I was just a challenger in ANOTHER coach’s Fit Tribe & when I realized she got PAID to run them... At first I was stoked!! “WHAT?! How do you get paid for this?! Tell me everything!” But, then my imposter syndrome kicked in

There are MIRACLES to be found in every moment. You just have to be willing to see them... ✨ Isn’t that the truth?! Ever notice that when you wake up EXPECTING the day to be a good one full of happy surprises... it is. But when you wake up expecting the day to be a downer.... it sure as heck turns out to be. LOOK for miracles. LOOK for magic. LOOK for GOOD. & watch it appear before your very eyes. 😍 There’s beauty all around you. Soak it up! #MadeforBrave

Coming out of college, I had a vision for my career... I was going to climb the ranks of the corporate world and become a high level rep in my industry, wearing a fitted-suit daily, managing and overseeing large accounts. I was going to travel often for work and would probably grind at least 50-60 hours a week, while making a decent six figures. THEN I would be 'successful.' My life changed when Alyssa & Austyn entered the picture. I became a husband and a dad and I quickly r

At any given moment, you can only do the BEST that you can do with the information you have. ⁣ ⁣ It’s a paralyzing thing: Guilt. Thinking that you messed up SO BADLY that there’s no way in heck you’re still on the right path. That if there is a God, He’s gonna have a hard time turning the mess that you made into anything worth saving. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been there. I’ve thought that way. I’ve felt like I was: Too. Far. Gone. Until I realized something. God ALWAYS has another move.

Take it from someone who has LOST & LOST BIG... IT DOES get more bearable. I promise. I read this once & have found it to be absolutely TRUE. At first, its HORRIFIC... Eventually, the waves get further apart & you learn to predict them. ❤ "As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more.

Family isn't just one thing to me... It's EVERYTHING. 💕 No matter how you came by the people in your life, love them HARD. You won't ever regret spending the time to build up good relationships with those who matter most. YES, it's hard work to blend a family, to maintain a healthy marriage through hardships AND... YES, it's hard work to love unconditionally... but it's unquestionably and ABSOLUTELY worth the effort!! 😍 Photo credit: Sparrow & Sea Photography
