Finding Hope in the Midst of Pain and Uncertainty

In today’s post, I’m reviewing the book, From Lost to Found – Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free, by Nicole Zasowski. Her story is one of heartache and healing, infertility and miscarriage, and uprooting an identity misplaced in worldly things to anchor her worth in Christ. It’s about finding hope outside of circumstance, breaking free from perfectionism and other strongholds, and trusting God will use our pain to transform us into His image. If you’re walking through a season of pain or uncertainty, you need to read this book! Visit my post to enter our giveaway and win a free copy!

5 Ways to Help Your Tween Build a Healthy Self-Esteem

The cultural narrative of our tween’s generation is to look inside themselves to find out who they were meant to be. Not only does this conflict with Christian beliefs, it leaves our kids confused, searching for answers, and comparing themselves to others to find out where they fit in. They turn to friend groups, social media, and the outside world to find their worth, leaving them emotionally and spiritually unstable. If we want our kids to build a healthy identity and positive self-esteem, it has to start at home. From a young age, we have to have difficult conversations that point them back to the Bible and prepare them for our rapidly changing world. In today’s article, I discuss five ways we can invest in our children so they grow into morally strong, spiritually motivated adults who are world changers for God’s Kingdom.

Dear Mama, On Your Child’s Graduation Day

On graduation day, as your child walks proudly across the stage, may we also hold our heads up high, proud to be chosen by God to hold the prestigious title of “mother.”  As your child accepts their diploma, let us also take a moment to recognize the work we have done and the love we have poured out on our little ones. As our graduates turn their tassels or pose for the photo op to symbolize moving on to the next phase of their life, so might we steady our feet to take the next step, to turn the page and begin a new chapter of motherhood.

From Unworthy to Beloved (Breaking Free From Insecurity)

In, From Unworthy to Beloved – Breaking Free from Insecurity, Lenae shares her struggle with feelings of insecurity, unworthiness, and fear.  Her self-worth was largely determined by what others said (or did not say) about her and by society’s definition of success.  As she sought to find her true identity in Jesus Christ, she became able to calm her fears, unmask her insecurities, and let go of her desire to be in control so that she could follow Him. In doing so, God led her down an unexpected path that turned out much differently, but much more beautifully, than she could have ever imagined.
