Not gonna lie..

Not gonna lie. Just set down to work on motivating my challengers on this long ride home with NO sense of direction. I've felt so overwhelmed all week with the hurricane & evacuation.

On top of that, one of the super dedicated women on my team of Beachbody coaches' house was majorly flooded during the hurricane :(. And I'm just so broken hearted for her.

It's in the moments like these that I have to stop and think WHY am I a Beachbody coach. That's where I find my motivation to keep going and my direction.

There are so many reasons, but this time I'm just going to focus on ONE.

ME.

Yup, me!!! Wait what?  There's tons of people who need help here. Not to mention you have two kids and a hardworking husband.  And your own house to remove boards from and check for damage.

Yes. I intend to take care of all of that. And help as much as I can. By nature, I am a caregiver. I give and give because I LOVE doing it. I do not get a rush of excitement at the idea of taking over corporate America. I feel that rush when I make someone's day better.

But you know what?

I can't do that if I don't take care of me!

When life gets tough you HAVE to stop and take care of your body. Even if that means putting other things to the side for a little while.

Don't worry...it'll get done.

BUT FIRST

1) Sleep
2) Eat QUALITY food
3) Get some exercise (cleaning up your yard after the storm totally counts btw)!

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

How Do I Homeschool with a Toddler at home?

I still can't imagine being thrown into homeschooling so quickly. I know I've said this before, but I personally needed the time to prepare. I'm a creative soul, and schedules do NOT come naturally to me, so I was so incredibly grateful to learn from my preschooler homeschool curriculum how to schedule the days for my youngest so that I could do it well! I just got off the phone with the owner of the My Father's World curriculum and he gave me permission to share some of it with you to help you adjust to your new way of life as well! I set up Brayden’s mornings like this so he will play happily & feel included while I homeschool the older kids (and of course, I include him in the schooling as possible as well). I treat his activities as though they as just as important as big kid school so he does them diligently and put them away in boxes after so they are special so he loves them while they are out. Once Avery finishes his K4 schedule he joins Brayden in t...

Musings on Classic Christianity by Bob George

     Many Christians live in a constant state of worry about whether or not they are good enough. This is not new information to me, because for the longest time, this was me. I, like many others, lived in a constant struggle of trying to be good enough, failing, and then trying to hide my failures from the world and still look “good enough.” God does not intend for me to live like that. He sent His son so that I may live life abundantly.     The illustration of Creation, The Fall, and Jesus’s Sacrifice really solidified to me that the Holy Spirit truly lives within me so therefore I should allow my body to be a vessel for him. At the time of Creation, God created mankind with a perfect union to Him. Up until the first sin, Adam and Eve lived fully and had a complete relationship with God. After the first sin, mankind fell from the perfect relationship with God. While Adam and Eve were still technically alive, they were not abundantly living because th...
