Christina Tate Wellness

Our annual Destin family vacation is something I always look forward to & 2021 was one for the books. Lana absolutely LOVES the beach! I was a little worried about the sand and the salty water but now Im pretty sure she’s part mermaid! She was such a happy baby soaking up the sunshine. I have the most amazing in laws in the whole wide world and had a great time with them... until Matt, Lana and I got sick and had to come back to Houston early. Not the ideal way to end vacation but I’m so thankful for the few days we had in paradise. 🥰

Today is our 5 year anniversary and I can’t even begin to explain how much my heart has expanded but I’ll try.

Matt is a husband and father who has his whole heart set on loving and serving Christ and his family. He’s man who always sees me in the light of Love and reminds me an encourages me to work hard, work smart, and work not out of my own strength but through the mighty and matchless power of Christ. He’s a man who always trusts the will of God over our own wants, needs and desires.

He’s strong, sexy, patient, passionate, wise, loving, kind, incredibly hard working, bold, honest ( so honest-like do you have to be that honest?!), diligent, quick to forgive, faithful, trustworthy and the most consistent person I know. Did I mention he’s hot?! 🔥 🔥 🔥

They say everything changes when you have kids and it’s so true. I’ve never felt more loved and supported than I do as a mom. He meets me with grace day in and day out, sees and appreciates everything I do, loves my ever changing body, and tells me I’m the best mommy on the world even though I’m new at this and I’ve got a long way to go. ❤️ seeing him in this new role as Daddy.... he’s so tender and loving and sweet. He takes every opportunity to hug and hold her and I love the way she lights up when she sees him because she knows he’s going to lavish her with love.

I’ll finish with a word to Matt:

I literally well up with tears each time I thank God for you. ( yes, I cry like every day) Your hard work is never unnoticed and always appreciated. Your peaceful presence is our sense of home. You have already created such a beautiful life for us and its amazing to think that this is only the beginning. Thank you for boldly being who God called you to be, and always looking to THE TRUTH for guidance instead of conforming to the status quo or creating “your own truth”. Where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. I love you more today then when I said I do 5 years ago and I don’t know how that’s even possible but I do know that I’ll love you even more tomorrow. 💕 Happy Anniversary Handsome 💕

LANA UPDATE: Baby girl is Eight months old!! Lots changing but she’s still got chunky thighs and bright eyes. Her vocabulary has expanded from babababa to dadada and Dads ecstatic. We’re still workin on mama. She’s started to crawl and I now have to barricade my living room with pillows. She eats all the solid foods and so far carrots are still her fave. Downward dog is her new trick and she does it about 1000 times a day. She fake coughs for attention & I have no idea where she gets the drama from. She Squeezes my neck when I pick her up from daycare and it melts my heart in the best way. 🥰

Learning to enjoy the everyday rhythms of life like laundry and dishes is a process but I’ve realized that if I approach each chore with a sense of gratitude, it totally shifts my mood. I’m thankful to have clothes that I love to wear and dishes that bring friends and family together to enjoy meals from. Thankful that my little baby girl is getting strong enough to hold onto my legs while I’m tryin to get things done. It’s the little things in life that matter the most - so I’ve decided to turn the mundane things into moments of gratitude and so far.... so good.

There something special that happens in my soul when I get to teach movement. It’s my passion - the place where what I love and what I’m good at intersect. I’m so thankful that I get to do this work; pouring love, encouragement and positivity into the lives of every person that moves with me. 💃🏽

What are you passionate about?

Life is an adventure with choices at every turn. Don’t just wing it and take the path that seems right, but seek (godly) wisdom. There’s a proverb that says the beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom! Wisdom is supreme. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
‭‭
Lately I’ve been presented with lots of choices and opportunities that initially I just want to jump at and say YES! THAT SOUNDS FUN! ( classic enneagram 7 ) but I’m thankful that God gives wisdom generously and if I make the time to bring all my opportunities before Him and say Lord will you please give me wisdom in what to do with these - he always does.

What an amazing first Mother’s Day!!! I’m so thankful for my amazing mommy, and my mother in love, and of course; my sweet baby girl who I’ve been blessed with the honor of being a Mom to. Matt’s not pictured here but he made the day so special for me. I love being a mom and it gives me a new appreciation for my mom, and all the moms out there! Happy Mother’s Day Mamas 😘

Things don’t always work out the way we imagine them to, but today I had a meeting that was such a sweet reminder that even when I don’t see it, Gods working out things out for my good. 💕

Even when you don’t see it; he’s working.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! How’s your thought life today as you’re scrolling the socials? If you’re anything like me, I can easily get stuck in the comparison trap round these parts so it’s super important that I fill my mind with truth. Positive affirmations are great, but it’s kinda like a mental fake it till you make it. Sometimes I can’t fake it and I need the truth of Gods word to cut through the crud like a double edged sword. Here are 5 biblical affirmations you can say out loud to kick that negative self talk to the curb and remind you of of the truth.

1. I’m beautiful, wonderful and remarkable - just the way God made me.

2. All things are working for my good.

3. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

4. My life is filled with exactly what I need.

5. I’m worthy of love and I AM LOVED.

You got this, Girlfriend
