To my momma’s to be, You’re gonna be great. E

To my momma’s to be,

You’re gonna be great. Even great fails. Even great has hard days. Even great often doesn’t know how to until she gets there.

Let’s believe something together. Because maybe you feel afraid. Maybe the world has you questioning so much of motherhood. Let’s believe that God is bigger. Let’s believe that His truth and His promises are also true and promised to our babies. Let’s believe that our personal relationship with Jesus will build the relationship we desire with our kiddos.

Let’s choose Romans 12:2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

As we prepare to hold our children in our arms, let’s be mothers who spend more time in God’s presence than we do in the presence of “how to” books, articles and videos. (Working on this one A LOT)

Oh what a privilege it is to be where you and I are. With this desire, this excitement, these feelings that keep us up at night. You’re gonna be great. You’re gonna be so great.

Virtually embracing you,
Tan

To my sister in Christ, • Intention, discipline,

To my sister in Christ,
•
Intention, discipline, heart, prayer, obedience, surrender… these may all be words flowing through your mind often. Maybe you’re like me and wonder if God is proud of how you spend your days. Maybe when you think deeply about Heaven and Hell you begin to feel anxious or like you aren’t doing good enough.
•
We hear sermons about grace and acceptance and unconditional love. And then we hear messages about kingdom work, sin and the day of judgement.
•
So, my sister, I just want you to hear me when I say, “cling tight”. That nudge you feel to go deeper, GO. That still small whisper that tells you to do something uncomfortable, like praying out loud with your friend, PRAY. That uncomfortable feeling you have because your heart is being cleansed, let it wash you. The Holy Spirit is moving in you and it’s moving in me.

The fear you feel to completely embrace what Jesus is doing in you— face it and embrace it. You’re an outcast, so was He.
•
Maybe it is going to change a lot in your life. How you spend your days, who you spend them with, your weekends, your habits. And maybe that is what you’re avoiding? I know I have. Because that feels overwhelming. You don’t hate your life. So why radically change it, right? It would just be easier to remain where you are.
•
Recently I have felt a tug to be radically obedience. Well I read in a Bible Study this morning something that I knew was God reaching out that mighty hand to pull me in. She said, “you may be surprised that radical obedience is not really that radical. It is really biblical obedience— but we have strayed so far away from biblical obedience that it now seems radical.” @lysaterkeurst
•
So I write this letter to you and I today to remind us to hold tight to His promises! He never stops workin’, even when we don’t see it, even when we don’t feel it. That is Who He is.
•
Virtually embracing you,
Tan

Pregnancy Workout 🤰🏼💪🏼
•
I get asked to share my workouts or how they have changed. Here is a prenatal full body workouts to save! Honestly, my workouts still have not changed a ton. In terms of style of workout. I still like circuits, higher intensity, metabolic style workouts. My biggest thing is time. I workout more consistently (5-6 days a week) when my workouts are short and sweet. I just modify some movements if they 1. feel uncomfortable or 2. have me flat laying on my belly.

Anyone else in an interesting headspace these last

Anyone else in an interesting headspace these last few months?
•
With everything going on in our world and culture, I have these moments where I feel like nothing that used to matter, matters.
•
And while that’s dramatic, some of it’s good. Some of it is a massive reality check that can completely humble you in 2.5 seconds.
•
But I can look back at my life and start to feel defeated. All those years invested so much in sports and good grades and fitness... they can feel wasted. Again, that’s dramatic because there IS purpose in those years and it’s my testimony.
•
But when your eyes are opened to the MUCH bigger heart issues in our world... you just learn that the things that used to keep ya up at night are the things people fight for an opportunity to have one day.
•
I have this very human struggle that wants “a bang for my buck” and wants results for my energy and work. Always looking for for the next opportunity that gives me more “freedom” (that hurt to say).
•
My life does not reflect the truth that Jesus + nothing = everything. My heart is in a massive surgery.
•
God help me to be your hands and feet without a worldly return. YOU did return when you rose from the grave and I pray to daily grasp that eternity is the reward and my works here are the celebration.

This body is unbelievable. Everyday it’s changin

This body is unbelievable. Everyday it’s changing right now. I never knew I could enjoy my body AS it grew bigger. This was my biggest fear for years. Gaining weight held me in bondage for so long. A belly sticking out in shirts was my biggest nightmare. But when it’s FOR another life, it all of a sudden becomes beautiful. I appreciate it. I celebrate it.
•
And that’s how God feels about His children and what their bodies can do. All those years I saw my body as a obstacle, He wanted me to see it as a vehicle. With purpose and energy and intention. Pregnancy is just one giant perspective change each and everyday and I’m hear for all God is gonna show me through this adventure of motherhood.

The famous #4mileloop. I’ve had a lot of you message me and let me know you’re doing a daily 4 mile walk.
•
You don’t message me and tell me you’re losing weight or that your body looks better or that it’s making your legs more lean.
•
You tell me how good it’s been for your mind or how you pray or how much it’s made you appreciate being outside. You notice the birds more, the flowers and the smell of fresh cut grass.
•
And maybe you are losing weight or feeling physically better but that’s become a by-product of the discipline.
•
Proud of all my little walking sisters out there. If ya wanna join us, hop on the train. It’s fun, it’s rewarding and it’s teaching us all how to slow down our minds.
•
Also this is my precious momma who joins me some nights and I love the time I get with her.

What makes ya cheese really big? With everything g

What makes ya cheese really big? With everything going on, I still feel like we have so many sweet moments to simply smile. In my HIIT workout this morning, my body felt SLOW and heavy. The trainer on the video made us smile really big while we were warming up. And it was right then when I was reminded of the privilege I had to move this body. At first I felt awkward smiling big at a screen by myself in my garage, but then I just let it happen 😂. And I’m glad I did. It’s stuck with me today.
•
I feel like we need more smile parties. In our homes, by ourselves, with friends. When something sparks that joy in you, like the way the light shines through your window or the taste of your favorite coffee, just cheese from ear to ear this week. It’s contagious, it’s centers you and it’s give you perspective.
•
Let’s just make this week a week of celebrating the things we normally would take for granted. I love ya sis. Happy Monday ☕️☕️ #19w5d #pregnancydiary #mondaymood

Well folks. We did it. Today Derick and I paid off

Well folks. We did it. Today Derick and I paid off my student loan officially 😭 when I first saw that big number in 2015, I remember thinking “ain’t no man gonna want me AND this debt that comes with me 😂.”
•
I know debt can be scary, feel impossible and almost feel like it’s adding up instead of subtracting.
•
But with some strategy, discipline and a game plan... YOU CAN DO IT! And the day you do, oh man, it’s gonna feel real nice.
•
Here’s to celebrating with a mock tail 🥂 and now putting money towards my kids schooling 🙃 #yayadulting #roadtonodebt #schooldebt #debtfreegoals #19weekspregnant

My opinion about the scale? Very few women genuine

My opinion about the scale? Very few women genuinely can have one in their home without it messing with their mental health.
•
If you’re struggling to love your body, nourish it, be consistent AND you weigh yourself daily or often... I recommend something you aren’t going to want to do.
•
3 years ago, after my wedding I finally got rid of my scale. I didn’t want to, I was scared but I had to stop running from the truth that it was stealing joy from my life.
•
As each year passes without a scale in my home, I get more and more passionate about this. It just keeps getting better. What I didn’t know was that the scale was keeping me from really knowing my body. I remember telling people back then that I was so “in-tune” with my body. But eating until I was overly full on the weekends or stopping because that was “too many calories” but my belly was still growling was definitely not honoring.
•
I spent so many days letting what that scale said in the morning either ignite pride or sabotage.
•
There are other ways to keep up with your progress and I can promise you the scale is not your best choice.
•
So this is my story and my very passionate opinion I realize. But I had to share because there may be one girl who is bold enough to toss the scale and learn how to trust herself instead of a number. And I’m SO here for that.

I’ve recently heard a lot of women express their fear of bringing children into this world now. I have a lot of fears that I battle, don’t get me wrong, but this has never been one.
•
I have had moments lately because I’ve heard this a lot where I stop and think, “maybe I should be more afraid”, “maybe I am completely naive”, or “should I re-think how big we allow our family to grow?”
•
Brokenness entered the world long before COVID and the BLM movement became a part of our world. There are OFTEN days right now where I have these moments and stop and think to myself, “what happened this year, is all this real life?”
•
Our world is flooded with so much pain and suffering and sin. Just as it was when my mom was carrying me in her belly. But here is what is giving me peace since @dthobbs22 and I are just now beginning to grow our family.
•
I find peace in knowing that despite the corruption we will see, experience and daily witness through media... our souls are safe. I find peace in knowing that raising kingdom children is an opportunity and not a burden. I find peace in that the biggest and probably hardest responsibility of my life is going to reveal to me the depth that God’s love goes for His children.
•
I’ll take the worry of parenthood and the world on in order to allow this boy to be apart of God’s bigger mission on earth!
•
This gets to have fun and filled with joy when we (as parents) do it under God’s sovereignty! Victory is won momma. Let’s cling to that truth 🙌🏼🙌🏾🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏿 #motherhood #19weekspregnant #kingdombuilders

Oh the mysterious steps with God. • There is som

Oh the mysterious steps with God.
•
There is something about faith that makes all the unknowns so peaceful. The longer I’ve walked with Jesus, the more I’m understanding why He doesn’t give us the final say and why He doesn’t give us the full story.
•
It’s requires faith to step into something that God has called you to.
•
Faith comes with endurance, grace, compassion, patience, trust, discipline and obedience. All things I desperately needed as we walked into our trying to conceive story, as I started my business, as we moved into another city and changed our church family.
•
All of these things turned out radically different than the story I would have wrote for each. And as I reflect on the journey within each of those, I praise Jesus for His sovereignty. The hidden blessings, the timely miracles and even the pain.
•
When we walk into a committed relationship with Jesus, we walk into the mysterious steps with God. It’s one faithful step after another, it’s choosing to pick up the cross and it’s surrendering to faith rather than falling into fear. It’s worth it. He is worth it. The story He wrote for you is worth it. #chasingfreedom #journeywithjesus #testimony

Couldn’t imagine our son being raised under better men. Happy Father’s Day to my dad and my sweet hubs. Just a lot of gratitude in my heart ♥️.

Celebrating freedom today but also gaining a deepe

Celebrating freedom today but also gaining a deeper understanding in the reality of change as history has shown it.
•
Individuals change the world together. We have to disrupt the normalities in our individual lives in order to see disruptions to the old patterns of our culture.
•
@sharonhmiller said it so well today. So I echo. “God did not bring restoration to the world from a safe distance. God is not a practicer of sentimental sorrow, which feels bad but changes nothing. Instead, He did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but lowered himself, taking the form of a servant, in order to free us all.”

Happy Juneteenth #juneteenth #juneteenth2020

I felt him!!!!! Last night as I laid down in bed, right where the top of my shorts hit my belly, I felt two little kicks. I literally gasp my breath, placed my stomach on my belly and felt TWO MORE immediately.
•
I texted Derick (who was in the living room.. I know lazy lol) “OMG I FELT __insert name__!”
•
He immediately ran into the bedroom CHEESING as he laid his hand on my belly and listened to me explain the feeling. No more kicks, rolls or punches but what a way to begin celebrating 18 weeks of growing this little dude.
•
So many women have expressed how special it is to actual feel the baby but I don’t have words for the gratitude I feel. Most days I’m still in shock that I get to go through this. I feared never being able to carry a child in my own womb for a long time. And these little kicks or punches reminded me to celebrate the victory that he is! Thank you Jesus. Thank you so much. #18weekspregnant #sweetpotatobaby #pregnancyjourney #2ndtrimester #secondtrimester

I wish I didn’t have to use the word “diet”

I wish I didn’t have to use the word “diet” like it’s bad. I wish there was another way to to tell you that I want to help you lose weight without “dieting”. Cause the truth is, I’m not against dieting. In fact, every person to exist right now is on a diet.
•
The word diet simple means, “the kinds of food a person habitually eats.”
•
But because of:
* Diet drinks
* Weight loss programs
* False advertisement
* Fads
“Diet” has been conformed into a term that to you and I now know means “weight loss”. Because of this we have been raised to know foods as good and bad. Getting salads out at restaurants automatically gets drawn to the conclusion that we are dieting. And as I talk to friends and clients, I see that this is REALLY difficult to change.
•
When you’re raised in an environment that says one thing and you’re trying to shift your mindset without environmental change, it’s down right difficult. Even if you wanted to run from “diet culture”, it’s like Starbucks in NYC. It’s on every street corner.
•
And so what do we do? How can we change this for ourselves so that we have a habitual nourishing diet?
•
Here are some tangible things that are helping me evolve my diet mentality:
+ surround myself with other women who understand this and desire the same
+ express this outwardly to my closest people- I have tried doing things alone and it ends me on an island struggling alone. Because ALL change comes with challenges and we need our people.
+ step away from things that invite in worldly diet language - social media account especially
+ work on nourishing my soul before I force nourishing plates

A lot of people asked where we went. This was our first family trip to Clearwater, FL. I like to wait until we get home to share where we go. We really enjoyed it. The beach was beautiful & it was super easy to navigate. Not our favorite vacation spot (super touristy) but it was the perfect get away for a group that simply wanted to be together! #summervacation #clearwaterflorida #familyvacation

•
Last night I kept picturing life 6 months from now, sitting in my living room... with my boys. How stinking cool is that?
•
I have so much I want to write and say but for now, my friend sent me this passage in Psalm 127 this morning. So I pray this over our pregnancy:
Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord, children, a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.
