No Longer Begging …
If you’re joining me here today from Proverbs 31 Ministries’ Encouragement for Today, welcome! If you haven’t had a chance to read Let’s Stop Begging for Acceptance, please take a moment to read this devotion by clicking here.
Maybe you’ve stopped by because of a social media link. I’d love to connect with you more on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and Pinterest.
In my opening story, I share the war in my mind while watching a half-time show at a professional basketball game. The thoughts whirling through my mind really took me by surprise, but they shouldn’t have.
Our image-driven culture easily pulls us into the damaging battle of comparison. Obsession with external, physical beauty shouts at us day after day through ads, TV and social media; telling us what acceptable looks like. Maybe you are aware of the affect these messages have on you personally. You know the pressure you put on yourself to see the right number on the scale, become the right size or find the right outfit each day.
Unknowingly, we can transfer this pressure onto our kids, wanting them to be what society says is acceptable. Our motivations may be right; we don’t want them excluded or made fun of.
As parents, let’s set our sights higher. Let’s be intentional to pour this truth into their hearts: they are already have acceptance, approval and affirmation.
I’d like to come alongside you as invest in the lives of the young people around you.
First, I’d like to help you bring a You’re More than Enough conference to your community. Let me share with you more:
You’re More Than Enough
{a full conference or single session message}
You see it; the undercurrent of culture threatening to pull her under. As her mentor or mom, you also see something she is missing: the full potential laying just under the surface of all her trying.
It’s time to help her break out of the suffocation of trying and move to becoming who she was created to be. She is more than she knows!
Together we’ll:
- Discover what a personal & growing relationship with Jesus looks like (and why she should want one).
- Learn how to block out all the noise to hear the voice of God.
- Develop and stick to boundaries so she can reach her fullest potential.
- Create confidence leading to higher self-esteem by discovering the love she craves.
Sessions can include:
- You’re Brave Enough
- Becoming a World-Changer
- Beyond Snap-Chat: Finding Life-long Friends
Based on her availability, my 18-year-old daughter, Madi and I can also do a Q&A time during the conference.
