I love in our culture today we are so much more aware of the importance of attachment needs of a child from birth and the long term implications. However, I also see parents living with fear that if they don’t do everything right their child will not grow up secure. I hope debunking these myths brings you a better understanding of what it is a child needs and self compassion when we don’t always get it right.

All month in my Bible reading the message has been clear: Do not fear! I am with you!

More than any other command this repeats throughout all of scripture. God knows we are prone to fear and faltering faith when we cannot see his goodness, make sense of our circumstances and/or feel out of control. But even to not fear and to trust in his promises is his grace to us. Therefore, Lord, would you help us know you are with us always, that we are safe in you?

This week I had the privilege of being a guest on

This week I had the privilege of being a guest on Heather Creekmore’s Compared to Who? podcast sharing on a topic personal to me. In the first of the two episodes we discuss how the idols beneath our appearance/body image struggles can play out in parenting. In the second issue the conversation is centered on my journey alongside a daughter who struggled with an eating disorder with the hope of encouraging self-compassion & some equipping for moms who find themselves there now.

You can find links to both episodes under my podcast highlights icon.

This is a piggyback off my previous post to show more the practical implications of living in light of our justification—or under God’s smile as I like to think of it. As I said before, theology matters! It shapes our thoughts & self-talk more than we may realize. And I have found preaching to myself the doctrine of justification as instrumental remembering what is true about my secure worth & standing!

Theology matters!

The implications of our justification can be applied daily! This summation is brief I can write exhaustively on it bc of its importance!

Would love to hear how you see it play out for you! Comment below if you would. It helps us all to see how on big and small ways we forget the truth about who we are in Christ!

If you relate to what you hear me say about myself

If you relate to what you hear me say about myself, always multi-tasking and agenda-focused to the point my daughter felt like everything else was more valuable to me than her, be encouraged that it is never to late to reverse course!! Start with “I’m sorry,” and ask God to help you live what you say is true—that your kids are priority, and that he would equip you to help them feel seen, heard & known!

What’s top of mind for me this Monday, and pray will not cease to influence what I make much about and what I don’t.
