As I carefully scan my past, I am so very grateful for those who have poured into my life. I now see it was His divine mandate contributing to who I am today. Those who have gone before me — encouraging, supporting, and cheering me on — have helped me to see what God sees… my true identity in Christ.

I saw myself as ‘not holy enough’ for my Christian friends and ‘too good’ for my non-Christian friends. The truth is, I never really felt like I fit the mold anywhere.

What I've learned, though, is that the feeling of being an outsider - that you don’t belong - it only has as much power as you give it.

Do you ever feel like you’re trying so hard to keep up with life’s demands and the pressure from society to do more? In this article we’ll share a new way to approach our responsibilities and show up as our best self, fully present to the things that matter most.

Confidence doesn’t just show up one day like an out-of-town visitor pulling the pop-in. In rare cases, you may feel confident because of an unexpected twist of events, but in reality, most of us are doing it scared.

We have been called to be truth-tellers, encouragers of the word, and warriors of peace… and we will not be silenced. So what’s stopping you, sister? What’s stopping you from facing that aversion by holding tight to the truth you claim and holding fast to the promises of God?

Knowing your value starts with discovering who you are which is rooted in who God says you are. This is important because if you don’t base your identity in Jesus, then you will always miss the mark. You will always be drowning in a sea of dirty clothes, stuck in the same spot, wearing masks to cover up your true feelings.
