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.

When you are tempted to pick apart your imperfections, praise your perfecter instead. Say this out loud: I AM GOD'S GOOD IDEA.  YOU matter, sweet friend.  Not the you that you THINK you should be.  Not the you that you PRETEND to be.  BUT THE YOU GOD MADE.  God only makes originals, He only makes good ones, and He makes no mistakes.  It's entirely too simple to pick apart our every imperfection, but we get to praise our Perfecter.  Let's praise Him together today - what are you grateful for in terms of how He created you? 
Thirty two, what a year it’s been. I think we can all agree that this year has been a weird year, yet in the same breathe it’s also been SO sweet! A lot happened this past year for me.  A few highlights:  •A new precious baby. •Leaving my job to coach full time & be home with my kids. •Watching my business grow and thrive. •Being home wayyy more and making some of the best memories!  Excited to see how God works this year! Thank you for all your sweet birthday wishes and celebrating me so well! You all mean so much to me and I’m forever thankful for YOU!  I won’t always get things right but my prayer is that you are always reminded that I’m not the hero. It’s all about Jesus. Thankful for this job and platform that God has given me to steward for His glory! #Fitnessismywitness 
I love that King David shows humility in the same breath he requests God's favor. From the plea "Rescue me!", we can tell that He didn't believe God's favor was owed to him. Instead, he realized that in order to succeed, He needed God to intervene in his life.  It's so easy to fall into the habit of bargaining with God - a "I do this for You, so You should do this for me" mentality. But that attitude forgets what has already been given to us through Jesus.  So let’s humbly come before God and ask for His intervention in our lives — in big things and small things. He CAN and He CARES!  How can I pray for you this week? Let me know! 
As me and my girls prepare to kick off our 30 Day Breakaway Gracecamp starting Monday I wanted to share one of the devotionals we will be sharing next week. Praying the Lord uses this to encourage you today:  “He is my All in All.” I sing these words in church and sometimes write them on the palm of my hand with a Sharpie. But when I deal with difficult situations in my life, do I really believe that Jesus is all I need to see me through?  The way we live our lives really shows if we believe He is sufficient to deal with our everyday problems and satisfy the longings of our heart. The Bible may deal with another man’s issues, but we feel like it doesn’t speak to our needs, our problems, our family, our situation in the moment.  I need Jesus + a husband. I need Jesus + kids. I need Jesus + a good job. I need Jesus + a pretty house. I need Jesus + coffee. I need Jesus + [fill in the blanks].  These things are not inherently bad in themselves. But they can easily become idols when taken out of their proper place and put in the position that only Jesus deserves to have in our heart.   Do you really believe that if you have Jesus… that you have enough? Or are you looking to other people and other things to fill a void in your heart?  The Truth: Jesus supplies EVERY need.   No matter the circumstance you may find yourself in, the lack or want you are in, Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly satisfy your deepest longings and needs. And He most certainly will do it…  He is your Provider, your Refuge, your Hope, your Healer, your Guide, your Teacher, your Friend, your Brother, your Husband, your Savior… He is everything.   Respond:  Ask the Lord to expose what you are putting your trust in and to aid you in fully turning yourself to Him. That you will trust Him with everything, and that He only will be your satisfaction.   
Last weekend between our leadership conference, church and hanging with friends/family I worked on painting our bathroom cabinets. What started as a fun Pinterest project quickly turned into frustration. Do home projects do this to anyone else?  While the outcome is SO satisfying and beautiful the process is less than fun. But of course the Lord used the process of painting this weekend to remind me of a few simple, yet profound truths.  1. First the Lord reminded me of the importance of LONG TERM vision. He reminded me of persistence, waiting and patience between each coat. The enneagram 3 in me loves productivity and marking things off a list. I like to be in control and handle the situation for myself. But when it comes to painting, that’s just not an option. You have to follow the directions or the outcome won’t be what you wanted. The same is true in our health, business, motherhood and fitness. If you want to see results in life, you have to embrace the process and trust that God has you in the palm of his hand.  2. Things may not turn out the way you wanted and sometimes it may take another step. After picking out a color and painting the cabinets I didn’t like the outcome. They didn’t turn out like I wanted, so guess what I did? I picked out another color and painted them again. Why? Because if I was going to take the time to do them, I wanted to do them right. So many time times when things don’t turn out the way we wanted we just give up and throw in the towel. We settle because doing another coat would just take up more time. But here’s what I told myself, “I don’t want to look back in a few months and think, why didn’t I just take the extra day and do them right?” So sister, why not just take the extra day and finish well?  3. The last thing I learned is never compare your project to someone else’s. Their counters were different, their floors were different, so guess what? The color looked different! Focus on your journey and what you’re working with. Everyone’s life looks a little different.  
I always get nervous to post these pictures but here’s what I want you to know —> I didn’t wake up here.  Over the past 12 months (after 6 weeks of healing from giving birth) I have shown up and remained consistent. I’ve enjoyed a fair share of treats but day in and day out, I fuel my body with healthy foods & try to workout 5 days a week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Has it been easy? No way! While working out comes easy for me and is honestly a habit/discipline God has given me, eating healthy is a whole other story. It’s not easy and it’s a constant surrender. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ It’s easy to look at other women’s feeds and only see the highlights, so today I wanted to share where I began a year ago today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember standing in the Old Navy dressing room trying on these jeans and just feeling exhausted. Not because I hadn’t gotten any rest, but because my body was run down from the extra weight. I had zero energy to chase my daughter and my emotions were all over the place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Now here I am down 60 pounds since having Corban and I am one PROUD MAMA. My body has gone through a lot but because of it I am SOOO much stronger! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ Let me be clear- the best part isn’t the fact that I’ve lost all the weight. The best part is God has used my journey to make me more like Him! He’s taught me what consistency and discipline look like and my prayer is that this post motivates you to not give up! You’re doing awesome mama and I’m cheering for you! Today I just want you to know that smalls steps = BIG change! Keep going.
