Sometimes God is just too good for human words. WE

Sometimes God is just too good for human words. WE ARE HAVING A BABY.
•
We may have to isolate our physical bodies but we can’t isolate this news any longer. For those who have been following this journey and praying for this sweet baby, THANK YOU. @dthobbs22 and I are in over head with emotions about expanding our family.
•
Some people wait until the “safer” weeks to share but y’all know I’m about as vulnerable as they come. We are a little over 6 weeks and are expecting this miracle in November! BLESS UP 🤰🏼🧡

Video of me finding out and telling Derick is in my bio 😬😭

I jumped ahead and looked at next week’s weather

I jumped ahead and looked at next week’s weather and got really sad. I immediately thought, “oh crap, next week is gonna be hard. More deaths and colder temps.”
•
But luckily I felt immediate conviction (thx Holy Spirit). I don’t want to be a daughter who’s joy is dependent on the weather. I want to be a daughter who’s joy is determined by her proximity to her Father.
•
It’s me and you God.
•
And as I got to thinking about that, I got excited. What are you going to teach me?! What will be revealed?! How will you stretch and mold my heart?!
•
While I’ve always been a girl drawn to the sun that Got created with His hands, He is showing me that on the days He hides it behind the clouds there is beauty in the search to still see and know Him. Just because the sun won’t be out next week doesn’t mean God will be hiding too. He is here. Right here. The barriers we feel to get near to Him are created by our own minds.
•
That’s kinda how I feel our world is right now, don’t you? Just in a desperate search for hope. Those stuck in homes and those risking their lives to save others. We just want this to stop. To go away. We want the sun to come back out. “If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!”
•
If anything, go read the MSG version of Romans 8:15-17 today 😭😭

Who’s in routine shock? Struggling to find rhyth

Who’s in routine shock? Struggling to find rhythm to this current new normal, on your phone more than ever and experiencing a wide range of emotions?
•
You are.... NORMAL!
•
Truth is, we are in unprecedented times sis. You can’t plan for a time such as this. It’s okay that it’s taking you a while to find a new beat to your days.
•
Maybe you’re missing your old schedule, feeling guilty for the amount of Netflix you have watched or just struggling to feel good at all.
•
I’ll be the first to say that “routine” is not a word that really goes with my life right now. And I have 100% had to charge my phone entirely too much throughout a day.
•
So what do we do now?
•
We lean in. To the unforced rhythms of grace. We can plan, write schedules and time block all we want. But instead of pressuring yourself to create a perfect schedule right now, let’s just lean in.
•
Let’s have more frequent chats with God.
Hop on calls and pray with our girlfriends. Turn worship music in entirely too loud and dance around.
•
A schedule and routine can’t give us the peace that He can. So lean in. Memorize scripture. And surrender the control. #heisgood #rhythmsofgrace #wordbeforeworld #covid19 #prayoften

Save for your next full body (mother/ daughter) workout! 👯‍♀️ you can totally do this alone too but my momma came to move with me and I shared some ways to modify the movements by recording her too!
•
5 rounds
🔸15 inverted rows OR bent over plate (or DBs) row
🔸 15 Plate (or DB) Thrusters
🔸 12 step ups each leg
🔸15 Bench leg lifts OR floor with hands under booty
🔸 then we walked my driveway up and down but you could do 50 jumping jacks instead!
•
This got us sweating, our HR up and just some endorphins flowing. Which we ALL need as much as possible right now.
•
This is our newest home gym set up that @dthobbs22 and I are pumped about. Mom and dad had a power rack they bought off Craigslist a while back and were not using... so we stole it and started a home gym.
•
Now we need a home gym name, any ideas???

I have heard some people say, “I feel guilty for

I have heard some people say, “I feel guilty for enjoying this time” or “I feel bad for talking about the positives when there are people out there dying from this.”
.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. – Psalm 27:5-7 (NIV).
.
Joy is not dependent on our circumstances. I will be the first to say that I am ENJOYING this slow rhythm that is life right now. A lot. I enjoy the mornings, a slower work pace and getting creative with how we spend our time.
.
This world needs your joy because more than anything this world needs their Jesus.
.
Don’t hide your positivity or your joy. But also don’t stop praying for those suffering. Good WILL come from this horrific pandemic. And peace can be found in the middle of it.
.
Don’t feel guilty for experiencing a new level of peace and joy because of this forced slowdown in our world. This does not make you insensitive. You may encourage someone else to see this perspective because “a good word makes him glad”.
.
This is sad. This is hard. This is scary. But GOD.
He is good.
He is faithful.
He is sovereign.

I was hesitant to post any view whatsoever on this

I was hesitant to post any view whatsoever on this world crisis, but I am feeling lead to share this.
.
In this pandemic that kind of feels like a movie if I am being honest, here is what I am telling myself (and I hope this encourages you if you feel fear)…
🔸Keep the main thing the main thing: consume Jesus and His word MORE than you consume COVID-19 news and material. Since He indeed has overcome the world. I have genuinely had a overwhelming peace in the last 48-hours all because of Jesus.
🔸Be kind and empathetic: I have seen and heard of a lot anger as a result of this pandemic. And I know it’s hard to be kind when you’re faced with irrational anger. But find it deep within you. Your kindness matters. A lot.
🔸Pray. Please pray for our world, our researchers, our healthcare system and the families that are already directly impacted.
🔸Remember. As I have been working through the Old Testament the last 7 months, I see God constantly reminding His people to remember. Remember what He has done. Remember what He has promised. Remember. He knows that people are overcome by fear and their current circumstances. But God is always reminding us that perspective is everything. Remember that cross. And KNOW that by grace and through faith, you are saved.
🔸Look Up! This morning Derick and I were in awe of the beauty of the morning. The sunlight, the birds chirping, the stillness. It was beautiful. Especially after storms and harsh rain and a lot of crazy news yesterday. I just keep hearing the words, “look up”. It’s one thing to be aware but it’s another thing to be consumed.
.
And I guess the biggest question I ask myself and you today is, “what do you want to be an advocate for in this time?”
.
Oh what a time to speak His name.
.

The word “balance” kinda makes me wanna barf.

The word “balance” kinda makes me wanna barf. Something we all say we want and are lacking, yet none of us can confidently say, “my life feels balanced from every angle right now.”
.
Yet, we still chase it.
.
Psalm 34:4-5 says "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all
my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with
shame."
.
I am not sure why but I felt God whisper, “I am balance” when I read this particular passage. We use time management, calendars, plans, strategy (which all have a time and place) to “find” balance yet we still feel off, run down and stressed.
.
In day 2 of the Body Image Devotional, I dive more into where I truly believe we can experience more balance than ever before. Swipe left to see the chart I drew back in 2018 that still is such a solid reminder to me to seek FIRST the kingdom of God.
.
When I am overwhelmed and stressed, seeking God is straight up HARD. I don’t know why, but it is. I feel like I have so much soul work to do that feels scary where to start. Ya know? But God doesn’t ask us to show up and have it all together or to know exactly what we need. He just provides. He just says, “come to me.”
.
This verse in Psalm 34 reveals so much in just a few words. It’s the ‘glow up’ of 2020 no one is talking about. All we have to do is turn and face Him. This kinda makes me wanna fall to my knees as I write this, tbh. I’m not sure why we want to take on this life thing and do it on our own. He offers us ALL that we need. To lighten the load. To carry us. I need that. Absolutely, I need that. HE is balance.

Most of the time when I’m getting the picture fo

Most of the time when I’m getting the picture for @instagram I end up frustrated. Whether it’s a mirror selfie 🙃 or my husband snapping it for me or me saying “hey mom can you get this picture for Instagram for me?”... I just kinda cringe inside.
•
And don’t get me started with the anxiety I get if someone starts looking through the pictures on my phone. When 70% of them are ME 😂
•
Most days it feel kinda sickening and I just ask myself, “why?”
•
I run a business. I am my service. I teach. I lead. I show up to help hopeless and stuck women truly experience freedom.
•
But my goal is to point people to Jesus. And yesterday as I was trying to snap the next selfie for a post, I felt God say “I am using these”.
•
When I feel trapped by all these questions:
Am I prideful?
Do I have this all wrong?
Am I pointing people to myself?
Is my ego bigger than my faith?
Is this vanity?
•
I’m reminded that the enemy is alive. And this is all He has to distract me from provision.
•
But the enemy has also been defeated by the same God who is using these images to reveal Himself. And so, here is another picture of me to tell you one simple thing. Jesus changed E V E R Y T H I N G.
•
I still don’t love the selfies or getting people to snap pictures for me. But I love Jesus. And I believe that He is using them.
•
What has Jesus changed for you? Comment below. ILYSM.

People told us we were crazy for building a home.

People told us we were crazy for building a home. People told us we were ever crazier building a home while traveling the whole time.
•
I’ve realized, I think we are just crazy and I’m ok with that.
•
This past year has been nothing short of adventure, lessons, rooting, seeking and faith. I don’t know if I’ll ever cherish a year the way I do this one.
•
In today’s podcast episode on the Chasing Freedom Show I shared the process of building our home. Our story. What we did right. What we didn’t do so right. And the in between.
•
This home is not something we needed but it’s a blessing and I’m excited to see how God continues to use it (hopefully with all the babies soon)!

You don’t realize WHY you keep going to that cho

You don’t realize WHY you keep going to that chocolate.
•
Here is what I have learned from coaching so many women just like you and I. We don’t know why we keep doing what we are doing or why we keep going back to old ways.
•
We think we do but we actually haven’t let ourselves get that deep. So here I am inviting you in to get real uncomfortable (just what you wanted to do, right?).
•
Back to the chocolate or chips. Here is what we tell ourselves:
+ I didn’t plan well so I just made a quick, rash decision
+ I was craving it 🙃
+ I didn’t know what would be the best choice
+ I was exhausted and had a hard day
•
But that’s really not IT. At least it was not for me or my clients. We went to food and other habits to fill a place that felt empty.
•
Here is one question I think can really help us go a layer deeper: what do you feel like you are missing in your life?
•
Want to know why I kept confiding in diets and food and other habits? I was dealing with shame. Shame that fed a lack of confidence. Shame that triggered insecurities. Shame that was stealing my identity.
•
When I recognized this I was then reminded that I love a God who sent His son to take my shame and to give me peace. WHAT. And I had the choice to accept that since I had been accepted despite my past.
•
This built confidence. This built security. This flourished faith in things I had not believed in before. And so my actions began to look different.
•
So let me ask you…. What do you feel like is missing in your like? Cause I promise you the answer is not “a diet”.

“Listen to your body” <— how does this make

“Listen to your body” <— how does this make you feel?
•
For me just a few years ago, these words really frustrated me. What does that even mean? How does one ACTUALLY do that? I need steps. I mean it sounds great, but it doesn’t feel realistic. At least not for me.
•
Derick and I had a cool conversation last night about our habits and raising kids. We realized that we think this ability to “listen to your body” can start at a young age.
•
Simply by asking our kids, “how do you feel after eating that?”
•
Both meals of high nutrition value and when our kids enjoy sweets and snacks and meals at restaurants.
•
By making it a normal conversation in our house, we hope to build that awareness early.
•
If you’re not at this point, you absolutely can be. By doing this exact same thing! Express how you feel after you eat. Start to notice your energy, mood, aches, bloating, etc.
•
This is something I have been practicing outwardly for a few years and it has REALLY helped me enjoy food more and eat better portions overall.
•
We have gotten past the “cheat days” and “cheat meals” and moved toward to lifestyle and moderation. It’s a much more freeing place to be!

I wanna read more. Manage my home well. Set better

I wanna read more. Manage my home well. Set better boundaries with my business. Study the Word. Cook more often. Organize our paperwork and finances. Take more walks. Have more quality conversations with my husband. See my nephews more. Stretch or do yoga a few times a week. Get more involved with speaking. Clean out our garage. Change my oil on time. Make a baby.
•
Shew.
•
And I’m over here saying, “idk why I am so overwhelmed?” 😂
•
Relax sister. You’re doing just fine. You’re the cause of you’re overwhelm. Just do better at the thing you’re doing instead of focusing on all the things you’re not. Anyone else need this pep talk?
•
Maybe you’re like me. Someone who loves to commit to things that help them live more intentional, compassionate and healthier. But a lot of times it bites you in the butt because you’re also hanging over you’re own shoulder constantly saying, “don’t forget about this thing”.
•
And then I miss it. I miss the opportunity to be right there, in that moment, soaking in what is actually happening. I run on overwhelm instead of faith. Faith is believing that we are right where we need to be.
•
On Wednesday’s Derick and I meet in the morning over a Bible study and discuss where we need prayer. I asked him this morning to pray that I am SO sensitive to the opportunities right in front of me to give. That I don’t worship my planner and instead worship His promise.
•
Any other self-induced overwhelmers out there? •

“Good news!!! You look plentiful and plump!”
•
These were the words the doctor walked in the room saying to me today with excitement.
•
For as long as I can remember, I’ve craved to be called tiny, small and dainty. Yet today, hearing I was “plump and plentiful” felt like music to my ears. Of course she was talking the follicles in my ovaries 😂
•
I often think about what I have put my body through just to be noticed or called “small”. The nights I spent completely tearing myself apart because I was obsessing over food and my body.
•
Yet I sit here begging God for my body to be stretched to bring life into this world!
•
Oh to go back and grab my 20 year old self by the shoulders and express to her what really matters most. To tell her that healthy doesn’t mean tiny. To explain nourishment and stewardship. To sit down and talk about our calling and our purpose. To speak about how all our actions or lack of action teach. What we do has influence. And to simple tell her that all the answers she is looking for are in one book and to not be afraid to open it up and get curious.
•
What would you tell your 20 year old self? And if you are 20, I pray you get life spoke into you through this comment thread. Save it and come back to it!

Ok, I needed this reminder just now. I can’t be

Ok, I needed this reminder just now. I can’t be the only one. Time to move this app to another page on my phone and be present with my people + use my time differently. Why is this so hard to do? ✌🏼 see y’all pretty people Sunday.

Ya gotta dig through the dirt to get to the root.

Ya gotta dig through the dirt to get to the root. 🌱
•
But that’s the problem. We aren’t willing to do that are we? Cause it’s hard. It’s messy. And it’s ugly. It requires time and energy that we don’t feel like we have.
•
Yet... we want freedom from this thing.
Food
Our body
Fear
Doubt
Insecurity
Shame
•
Here in Chasing Freedom, we get DIRTY. We aren’t afraid to face the mess because we want the freedom more.
•
Here is another metaphor: I’ve been going to the chiropractor A LOT for some intense chronic back pain. And after four weeks I looked at my chiro in despair and said “honestly, I think I’m hurting now more than ever”. And so he replies with, “think of it like a messy closet in your house Tanner.. we have to take everything out so that we can re-organize it and choose what we want to keep. We are at the stage where we just took everything out and it’s laying all over the place. Now we get to clean it up.”
•
Of course when he said that, it clicked with me. And I immediately thought about all my FMM girls who are in the trenches of the mess still showing up for the freedom.
•
Like I said, we get dirty.
