When it comes to enjoying food in balance, I love the 80/20 rule. The goal with 80/20 is to aim to eat whole foods that fuel your body at least 80% of the time, and the other 20% allows for "life" where food is enjoyed simply because it is a part of fellowship and fun! It means moving our bodies 80% of the time, and resting the other 20%. Although this seems simple, often times it can be hard to distinguish what 80/20 looks like on paper, which is why I created the 80/20 challenge! I pray...

As I think about the story of Jesus’s birth I am reminded of just how much of the Christmas season revolves around hope and waiting expectantly.

Most of us are familiar of the story of Mary being told by an angel that she would become pregnant with the son of God, and how she and Joseph had to wait what must have seemed like 9 of the longest months awaiting his birth...as well as all of the obstacles they endured shortly after His birth; But often times we forget how many faithful men and...

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. - Psalm 103:2 NLT

Not too long ago I was cleaning out my closet and I stumbled upon a pile of prayer journals that I had kept from years past, some from 20 years ago!

I spent much of the day sitting on the floor, thumbing through the journals, and it didn’t take long before I started to have tears steaming down my face. My heart began to swell with thanksgiving as I looked back at the faithfulness of God, and...

The holiday season is officially upon us, and while it is a magical time, it can also be easy to get lost in the busyness of the season if we aren't intentional! One fun way that Sean and I have made Jesus and family the focus of the season is through advent scriptures and activities!

When Maddie was about two years old, we bought an advent calendar with pockets, and Sean filled it with hand written scriptures and something fun we could do as a family. Every evening for the month of December,...

My workout schedule is a key part of my routine, and I make sure to stay consistent with five days a week of exercise. I focus on maintaining muscle, prioritizing my overall health, and boosting my energy levels so I can feel my best. My typical week includes a mix of strength training and cardio, with each day targeting different muscle groups or fitness goals. I’m careful to allow adequate recovery time for each muscle group, and I always make sure to include a warm-up and cool-down to...

Welcome to Week 3 of the Love Your Body Challenge!

This week our focus will be placed on the beauty that lies within.

Let’s go deeper and discuss some practical ways to develop our identity as a daughter of God!

If you've ever felt frustrated by setbacks in your health journey—whether it's a slip-up with your eating habits, a missed workout, or simply not feeling "good enough"—then you've probably felt the pull of a fixed mindset. But what if I told you that with a little mindset shift, you can change your thoughts about your challenges and grow through them? And better yet, what if Scripture could guide you in that shift? Let's break it down.

What Is a Growth Mindset?

Welcome to Week 2 of the Love Your Body Challenge!

Do you believe God wants to bring you to a place of freedom in the area of your health- mind, body, and soul?

Yes! Thats right. He cares so much about you that He wants you to be free from the anxieties that arise when you step on the scale or go shopping for clothes. He wants you to be free from the weight of comparison, worrying what people think, and not measuring up. He wants you to be free from the burden that is attached to your physical...
