Hey Y'all. Caroline here. Welcome to my blog! I am a wife, mama and fitness coach born and raised in Nashville, TN. I am SUPER passionate about encouraging other women, whether that's through a virtual bootcamp or helping them launch their own fitness business. In my free time you can find me hanging with my husband Brian and little girl Emmaline, leading a small group, or working out in my garage. Follow along here or on instagram @FitforHisGlory for daily encouragement in your walk with Jesus, fitness, motherhood, business and health.

“Gratitude is at the center of a life of faith. It sounds to simple to be true, but isn't that the sign of all deep truth: so simple we're tempted to dismiss it, and so hard, it is exactly what God uses to change our hard lives.” -Ann Voskamp  Don’t miss the beauty of this year. Sure it’s come with a lot of hard moments and days for some, but God is good and He is working even when you don’t see it. Trust Him in that. Celebrate the mundane, the pitter patter of feet, the quiet moments, the warm coffee, the endless hours of quality time and laughter. While these days may feel insignificant they are making a kingdom impact. Take a deep breathe and celebrate God’s goodness today!  I’d love to hear what you’re thankful for today!  For me: being home with these little ones the past 9 months. 👏🏼 While the days can feel long at times, I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything. 
Honoring God in your health and owning your worth in Him doesn’t mean complacency in your health and fitness! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The self love movement has somehow left a lot of women thinking that they don’t have to give their best or that if you own your worth in Jesus then you don’t have room for growth. CONTENTMENT DOESN’T MEAN COMPLACENCY. But how are we supposed to pursue excellence as followers of Jesus and still be content in any and every situation? Is it really possible to achieve the balance between not making fitness (or anything else) an idol while at the same time not becoming lazy? In Philippians Paul tells us the secret to being content in ALL situations. His secret? Always giving his best to what God has called Him to do. In Philippians 3:12-15 he says, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Real contentment is not found in being satisfied with what you have in life but working diligently to glorify God and always point others to Him in everything you do. There is no complacency in Paul’s contentment and there shouldn’t be in ours either! Tag a friend who might find this helpful! And ps: you can always save it for later by clicking the flag. I love saving post like this for days when I need encouragement. 👏🏼🙌🏼
It’s been exactly one year since I was cleared to workout after having Corban and I’ve never loved my body more. I’m not back to my “pre-pregnancy weight” but when I look in the mirror I am proud because the post partum journey is straight up HARD. Mentally and physically the extra weight and responsibilities can take a toll, but we can not let that hold us back.  A few things that helped me in the early days of having a new baby and still help me now:  1. Wake up and get in the Word. Put on your armor before that baby wakes up. Or if you need extra sleep, sleep in and hold that sweet baby while you BOLT UP girls! 2. Do a brain dump and give yourself 1-3 things to accomplish that day, depending on the size of the task. Feeling productive especially during a time where many of us lack routine is important. 3. Move your body. Go on a walk, sweat it out in your garage or go to a local studio. I don’t care what it is you do, just do something. 4. Catch up with a friend. Wether it’s over coffee or during naptime over zoom, make time for community. This is VITAL because we weren’t meant to do this alone.  Praying that you feel encouraged today to just take the next right step sister.  Tag a mama friend who might need this below!  
When you look around at your life, do you like what you see? Are you proud of the life you’ve built or discouraged and beat down?  Just a reminder today that God’s grace is readily available! You are never too far gone for God to redeem your story. He is anxiously awaiting your surrender and longs for a relationship with you sister.  We live in a world that begs for peace, yet rejects the author of peace, hope and love.  As we head into the holiday season can I encourage you to lean in? Ask the Lord what areas of your life you’re not surrendering. Get in the Word and allow it alone to be your life map. Ask God for the wisdom to understand as you study and push through even when it feels like it’s too hard to understand.  One of the problems in our culture today is our lack of perseverance. Most things in life won’t come easy. Most things will require grit and that includes being faithful to the Lord even when life feels out of control. Hear this: the blessing is coming. Ask God to give you the eyes to see it.  Pick up the pieces and hand them over to God today sister. No matter what area of your life it is, nothing is too far gone for God. He specializes in turning your brokenness into a beautiful story of redemption. Tag a friend that needs this encouragement today sis.
Daily I am confronted with my limited physical, mental and emotional capacity. Truth is we don’t like feeling limited, especially in a culture that tells us we are enough and insist that mama knows best. But the reality is, you were not made to care for everyone and everything. You have nothing to prove and nothing to earn at the feet of Jesus, friend.  So what do we do when we lose steam? Run into the arms of the Savior! Matthew 11:28-29 says, “Come to me all who labor and are heavy burden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”   It’s ok to slow down. It’s ok to let go. It’s ok to say “I can’t do it all and I need help.” But don’t stop there. Let go, rest and allow God to be your sustainer.  I love John 6:35 which says, “Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”  Jesus is able to replenish you more than anything this world offers. More than food, walking around Target with your favorite drink from Starbucks, more than a weekend away from your kids. Jesus is your source and in Him even the most weary and exhausted souls find rest and sustaining power. Anyone else need this heading into Monday?
Happy Friday friends! One thing I’ve been thinking about this week is how our limiting beliefs and fear are constantly looking for a story to attach themselves to. Anything that will give us a way out of the hard or uncomfortable we latch on to. Very few of us actually want change enough to take action CONSISTENTLY.  So today I want to encourage you to stop making excuses, even if they are legitimate. Don’t let your limiting beliefs or fears find something to attach themselves to.  Sit with the Lord in His word and ask Him for the strength and wisdom to dig deep and ask yourself WHY. When the going gets tough let your why lead you and motivate you even when you want to just throw in the towel and make it all go away.  Let’s end this week stronger, better and more reliant on the hope we have in Jesus. Tag a friend below that this might encourage! 🙌🏼
