Who Are You Wearing? Part Three of a Series on Body Theology
In our last two posts on body theology, we talked about how our bodies are not containers, and also how the image of God means more to body image than we’ve ever grasped before. Both of these truths have had life changing effects on me, and what I’m sharing today...
Why I Struggled to Believe in ‘Fearfully and Wonderfully Made’
Taking a one day break from our "one word" series to share with you this great and timely (for Easter) piece from my friend Brittany at Devotion Everyday. You really need to read this and then check out her blog. Great words! (And pretty pictures too, she's a...
Full:: What REALLY Fills Us?
Normally, it's a good thing to be full. As someone who has struggled with loving food a little too much for the last 34 years of life, feeling full is one of my favorite feelings. In first grade, I ate two Whoppers from Burger King without blinking an eye. In middle...
Disoriented:: When God Changes Your View of Everything
I think I know what it might have been like to wake in ancient Judah, to go out of my house and not see the high places, the altars, the pillars to familiar gods that had been there the day before. There must have been a palpable buzzing of shock and anxiety, as well...

As long as I can remember I have had a petrifying fear of failure. It has kept me from doing so many things in my life. I don't just want to succeed. I HAVE to succeed. I need that "attaboy" and approval that winning in life provides. I have been setting myself up for...

Identity: Can I Be Free From Culture’s Standard of Beauty?
I taught a homeschool co-op class today. In geography, I asked my class of seven and eight-year-olds a question I thought would be easy. Me: "What country do we live in?" Kids: "Texas!!!" Me: "No, kids...not our state...our country! What country do we live in?" Kids:...
Skinny: I Am Not Skinny
I am not skinny. I say that only because my therapist told me I can no longer say, “I am fat.” She gave me the reasoning why (which I don’t really remember) but in an instant I knew that being fat had become my identity, and her denying me from saying those words...
Tagged:: How Do You Feel When You are Tagged?
I saw a video of myself online today. I was tagged. It was a perfect test of my body image progress. I failed. I believe all the words I say about body image. I believe God thinks my body is worth the cross because of his unfathomable love for all of me, which has...
