    She is here!!!🩵💙💚💛 It’s Launch Day, She is here!!!🩵💙💚💛 It’s Launch Day, so girl moms, grab your copy and spread the word. Comment READY and I’ll message the link. If you pre-ordered, thank you! You’ve made this book the #1 new release in “Parenting Girls” and “Christian Parenting” on Amazon. Please leave a positive review, that’s the best way to support me and help others find #isyourdaughterreadybook too. Now for some backstory: Since releasing #loveherwellbook in 2020, I’ve seen a huge shift in the culture shaping girls. It’s darker, meaner, and more complicated than ever before. My dad always says that problems begin when people drift away from God, and the greatest pain I see impacting our girls (and boys) comes from the fallout of a godless society. As I wondered how to help moms behind me, the theme of light & darkness kept coming to mind. How do we raise our daughters in the light - yet prepare them for the dark? How do we help them handle hard realities without letting reality harden them? Little did I know, when God put this on my heart in 2023, this theme would feel extra-relevant by Launch Day. Spiritual warfare is real, and I hear of so many sweet Christian girls who grew up surrounded by love and trustworthy people…..yet they aren’t prepared for the real world where not everyone has their best interest in mind. Moms tell me, “I want to protect her innocence as long as possible,” and I get it, yet we live in an age where being naive and not knowing the arena you’re walking into can have serious consequences. So, this book gives you words for hard conversations. It talks about discernment and teaching your daughter to trust her gut. It tells you what to do if your kind girl falls through the cracks….or makes a big mistake. It helps you build a relationship where you gain influence as you lose control. Most importantly, it frames your daughter’s 18 years at home through the love and lens of Christ. It keeps ETERNITY in the big picture. Thank you to my team at @wpublishing @thomasnelson for believing in this message. I hope you moms love it!

    ADPi Parents Weekend with Marie Claire 💎 Gettin ADPi Parents Weekend with Marie Claire 💎 Getting to see our sweet girl, and meet her friends and their families, was good for the soul in the wake of a dark week. Auburn’s culture of faith runs deep, and seeing God’s light in the next generation steadies and refreshes my hope. We love you, Marie Claire, and we enjoyed every minute with you this weekend!!
    I loved his energy, intelligence, drive, courage, I loved his energy, intelligence, drive, courage, and ability to articulate truth in a way that changed hearts and minds. But more than that, I loved the way he loved his family. The way he adored his wife and children and advocated for marriage, babies, Christian values, and all things good. He walked the walk, and I’m heartbroken for his family and our country over this horrific act of evil. Spiritual warfare is real, yet so is eternal life, and that’s the hope we cling to as we mourn the loss of this godly man. Charlie Kirk’s impact in building God’s kingdom will reverberate for generations to come, and what man has meant for terror and destruction, God will use for good. The final victory will be His. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Revelation 21:4
    Here’s the truth: We all face rejection. For s Here’s the truth: We all face rejection. For some, that first big one comes in middle school. For others, it comes in high school or college. And for others, it happens as they enter the real world - and realize it isn’t always their oyster. When it comes, we don’t forget it. But we can rise above it and trust God’s plan for our lives, knowing today is just one chapter in a much bigger story. *For more messages on raising resilient girls, comment READY and I’ll message you a link to my new book coming Sept. 16.

    A message about beauty from #yoursnothersdevo, tem A message about beauty from #yoursnothersdevo, temporarily free on my Substack. Comment BEAUTY and I’ll message you the link. ——————————————————— “Pretty is as pretty does.” For many years this timeless truth has been passed down to girls by mothers, grandmothers, and life mentors. What they know — and want you to know — is that a girl’s behavior impacts her beauty. Many outwardly beautiful girls make themselves ugly by acting catty, manipulative, selfish, or arrogant. Nothing destroys a pretty face faster than a mean personality or a lack of integrity. If you haven’t witnessed this already, you will. It may be a girl you envy and look up to because she is drop-dead gorgeous. You may find yourself staring at her, taking mental notes, and maybe copying an outfit or two. But then one day, her character is revealed. Your opinion may suddenly change….”
    What a treat (and honor) to speak to the Mountain What a treat (and honor) to speak to the Mountain Brook Elementary 6th Grade Girls Bible Club this morning! Our community is very blessed to have these Bible studies for every grade, led by mothers & grandmothers, and I loved learning that the curriculum they’ve developed over time is now being used by 85 schools - including many across Birmingham. God is on the move!! Thank you @katiebbrower for inviting me to share a word with this awesome group of girls as well as #yoursnothersdevo. I can’t wait to see the positive impact these girls will have as the leaders of MBE this year!!
    One highlight of my job is the people I meet…the One highlight of my job is the people I meet…the girls and moms who come to events and the women who plan them 🕊️ I’m a firm believer that when we plant seeds of God’s truth early, our children have truth in their heart they can always come back to, and it can make all the difference on their darkest days, or on the darkest of a friend who may find a lifeline in their encouragement and support. This is why I love speaking to middle schoolers, and sharing messages that I know they’ll need on the road ahead. A big thank you you to @lphull and Amy Hollar for inviting me to share a word with moms and daughters at Liberty Park Middle School, and to my daughter Ella and her awesome friends @graceellencrim and @mc.sink3 for being part of the panel that encouraged the girls and gave them great life advice. I loved every minute with this group and feel very thankful for the wisdom the big girls added and brought to the table!! Special shout-out to the Lady Liberty Dance Team, you girls were fantastic hosts!
    The truth about friendship is that people circle b The truth about friendship is that people circle back to what was real. It may take time, even years, but as kids get older and smarter, many will decide that real friends - and kind friends - are what they want. Don’t burn bridges, become a real friend yourself, and let the 50/50 friends you meet clarify what you’re looking for. *For more messages on raising girls, comment READY and I’ll message you a link to my new book coming Sept. 16.
