POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In 3 weeks, I went from looking like the one on the left to the one on the right. My mind was blown when I saw that difference in such a short amount of time.

I used to think I had to do an entire overhaul of my life overnight in order to change. For years I lived in the same cycle of motivation, burnout when life got really hard or stressful, giving up, guilt for giving up, then try again and recycle..

Now, it’s completely different!
I’m doing something sustainable, something rooted in discipline, supporting my body, and consistency instead of being perfect.

Since adding in these bioactive precision pept!des, my food cravings are almost non-existent and I’m sleeping SO much better at night. The other win? I’m down 6 pounds in 3 weeks 🥹😮

If you can relate in any way to this, please reach out! I would love to help you with a solution!!

Not my usual post, but I share what’s on my heart and today it’s been heavy with this.

Growing up on the mission field really instilled a desire in me to reach others and impact people’s lives. I’ve always desired to be in ministry of some sort and now as an adult it looks different than what I imagined. Being a stay at home wife + mom looks and feels monotonous, but I’ve come to realize it’s a bigger deal than our culture makes it out to be. It’s THE most important job and I’ll even say the hardest job out there.

Last year when Charlie was murdered, it re-ignited that flame and desire to do something bigger, to do something more, to do something that makes a difference in the world. My husband and I have had many conversations about what we want to do together to make that happen, which is why we’re relaunching our podcast (stay tuned). However, for me, making the biggest difference is going to be what happens in our 4 walls.
Raising boys to grow into strong men one day, following Christ, raising a Godly family and serving others + this country, making a difference. I pray I will be the mom they need so they can do that. I pray for grace each day and wisdom to raise them well.
Being a mom hasn’t erased my desire to do something else too, but I’m still trying to figure out the how behind what I want to do… brainstorming ideas.. whatever it is, we’ll bring the kids along and show them how to serve and what it looks like to follow Christ and His calling.

I’m ranting, but all I want to say is that we each have a short amount of time here on earth. What are we going to do to make a difference and impact our culture? We can’t be afraid to speak up for what’s right and the Gospel. As a Christian, we SHOULD be getting involved in politics and trying to make an impact. It starts at home, with our family, then goes out into the world.

God. Family. Country.

In that order.

Miss you, Charlie 🎤

It’s been a while. It feels strange popping back on here, but yes, I’m still here 😆

Life has been very full and very heavy for a while, so I truly have not had the capacity to show up here everyday.

But I’m still walking and showing up for myself. This mornings devotional really served me and was such a good reminder.

Jesus is alive and sits on His throne. Because of that truth, everything will be OK. I needed to hear that today. In a season of feeling like the desert, I need that reminder of constantly yearning for Christ and worshipping Him based on who He is, not my feelings.

Happy Thursday, friends! I hope this serves you too! by @genevaledon

A little collection of moments from this summer so far. ☀️

Life has been full—in the best ways and also the hardest of ways. I’ve been spending more time with my family, caring for loved ones, reading good books, making memories, and learning that not every season has to be perfectly documented to be meaningful.

I’m excited to be back sharing more of the journey with you. 🤍 by @genevaledon

Life lately 🤍

It’s full, but that’s not a bad thing!

Still recovering from my tooth pain, but I finally felt like today was bearable and I hardly noticed it. Win!!

Where have I been??
Life. Summer. Soccer camp. Tooth pain. You name it! 🤪

Trying to keep up with it all has been a challenge to say the least, but I’m still chugging along over here.

I’m learning to balance staying committed to my health while also just living life that happens day in and day out.

Hopefully this nerve pain in my tooth will settle down, cause it was a massive challenge this week to just even drink water 😳 by @genevaledon

For a long time, I told myself it was about time.

I didn’t have time to meal prep.
I didn’t have time to exercise.
I didn’t have time to focus on my health.

Then it was energy.

I was too tired.
Too overwhelmed.
Too exhausted from taking care of everyone else.

Then it was money.

“I’ll start when things settle down.”
“I’ll invest in myself later.”
“I’ll wait until it’s a better time.”

But if I’m being honest, those things became excuses that kept me exactly where I was.

Because the truth is, there will probably never be a perfect time.

Life will always be busy.
The kids will always need something.
Money will always have somewhere else to go.

The real question I had to ask myself was:

How much longer was I willing to put my health at the bottom of the list?

The moment I stopped waiting for the perfect circumstances and started taking action, things began to change.

Not overnight.
Not perfectly.

But consistently.

And that consistency is what finally started producing results. by @genevaledon

Welcome to my kitchen on a Monday morning. Most times I’m having some sort of jam session, whether it’s something hype like this morning, or a worship session like most days, there’s always going to be music on 😆

No sticky note coming down today.

No dramatic transformation update.

Just another day of showing up.

A few months ago I would’ve gotten discouraged because the scale wasn’t moving fast enough.

Now I know the real win is consistency.

Taking care of myself.
Making better choices.
Supporting my body.
And doing the things that future me will thank me for.

The results come from what happens on the ordinary days. 🤍 by @genevaledon

If you’re a mom trying to lose weight, you know it’s not just about eating healthy and exercising.

It’s balancing meals, toddlers, schedules, laundry, grocery shopping, lack of sleep, and trying to take care of everyone else while somehow taking care of yourself too.

Some days, losing 80 pounds feels overwhelming.

Honestly, there were times I wondered if I’d ever break out of the cycle of starting over, losing a few pounds, getting stuck, and feeling discouraged.

But lately, something has shifted.

For the first time in a long time, I’m seeing progress again. Not just on the scale, but in my energy, my consistency, and the way I feel day to day.

Adding bioactive precision peptides alongside the healthy habits I’ve been building has been one of the biggest changes for me. Instead of feeling like I’m constantly fighting my body, I finally feel like I’m supporting it.

I’m still a long way from my goal.

But for the first time, 80 pounds doesn’t feel impossible.

It just feels like the next step in the journey. 🤍 by @genevaledon

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😂

Every time I leave the house to read, journal, or have a quiet coffee moment, I somehow convince myself I need every notebook, planner, devotional, and book I own.

Will I use all of them?

Absolutely not.

Will I bring them anyway?

Also absolutely yes. 🤍 by @genevaledon

After not seeing my really good mom friends for almost 8 months (‼️), this weekend felt like a balm for my soul.

We planned a loose itinerary and saw a lot of high rated brunch spots and coffee shops. 2 of which had over an hour wait time, so we settled on @toastofcharleston and it did not disappoint. The BEST biscuits of all time 🤤
We walked the Charleston City Market, got some great coffee from @harkencafe and walked to see the gorgeous churches and architecture in downtown.
My phone almost died so I didn’t capture all of it 😅
We ended the day with dinner at a true Southern Charm restaurant @poogansporchchs and woooow it did not disappoint ‼️‼️ if you’re ever in Charleston, you must go!

All in all, it was a very refreshing weekend and I cherish these friendships SO much!! by @genevaledon
