Living #FREE

Freedom. We long for it. We fight for it. We will do anything to get it.

Yet sometimes we forget to live in it!

This weekend while our family celebrated the freedom and independence of our country, I was reminded what freedom means and how easily I take it for granted, especially as a Christ-follower. Yet Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.“John 8:36

In Christ we are free!

  • Free from guilt that weighs us down and sin that holds us back.
  • Free from labels that define us and doubts that limit us.
  • Free from grace-less expectations and obligations.

It was for freedom that Christ set us free. (Galatians 5:1). Let’s take hold of this truth, and LIVE #FREE in the power of HIS promises and the purpose of His plans for our lives!

FREEDOM from Mommy-Guilt

NMPK Cover with Chapman name

Do you look at other families who seem so “put together” and wonder why your’s doesn’t isn’t? Does mommy-guilt over your child’s “issues” ever keep you from enjoying motherhood and where your kids are in their journey of growing up?

There have been times when I could answer “yes” to both questions. And during those days or weeks, or months, I miss out on what God has for me as a mom.

One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is GRACE to have an imperfect family and be an imperfect mom. And one of the best gifts we can give our children is to set them FREE to be all that God has created them to be—not forcing them to live out our dreams or comparing them to our friend’s kid.

Jill Savage and Kathy Koch have written a 
guide to help parents truly appreciate their kids. One thing I love about this book is their goal to teach us how to study and 
become an expert on our children, knowing that we cannot fully embrace them until you 
truly know them.

In No More Perfect Kids, Jill Savage and Kathy Koch equip parents with the tools and perspective to:
  • Identify and remove the Perfection Infection from our parenting.
  • Really know each child so we can fully embrace their unique design.
  • Release our children from unrealistic expectations.
  • Answer the questions our kids are silently asking in a way that gives them the courage and freedom to be themselves.

Written in a passionate, candid, and personal way, the authors 
will instill within you hope and contentment. You’ll be inspired to apply the practical, 
realistic, and relevant ideas and tactics Jill and Kathy share. (Leaders Guide included in back of book.) And thanks to Jill and Kathy’s generous publisher, I’ve got 5 copies to give away!!

Comments

  1. I would love “No more perfect Kids” PLEASE!! I feel I was a product of that, whether or not my parents intentionally raised me that way, but I definitely felt it. I in turn have raised mine similarly and have seen the stress I have placed on my children. I have been working on it and am so much better than I was. It feels so good too 🙂 Thank you xo

  2. I would love to win the book. I’m constantly stressed and feel guilty when it comes to my imperfect kids; I feel as though I’m the only mom who doesn’t have it all together.

  3. I would love to get the book No More Perfect Kids. I do need help in not comparing my teenager to his piers.

  4. I would love to win the book! I need to get my spiritual life back on track and gain freedom through Christ

  6. I would love to win the book so that I can read it and pass it along 🙂 I’m constantly a work in progress but definitely need some help with my love walk.

  7. Either would help me grow in my faith. Your ministry is such a blessing in my life. Thank you.

  8. EITHER! The part of me that needs changing is the ability to do my very best and leave the past behind. I feel like I let people down all the time. I want to be the one who is always there for others.

  9. I would love to win a book! The area I need the most help in is patience with my children & feeling like I’m failing at mothering.

  11. I would love No More Perfect Kids…. being free of mommy guilt..
    I could definetly use this one at the stage they are at…. 10, 9 and 8

    I just finished the OBS Limitless life study and would LOVE to win the conference call series!!!

    So either is great!!!

  12. No More Perfect Kids. While my kids are now grown and on their own, I continue to read and pass along appropriate, welcome advice / suggestions, especially for those who either don’t have much time to digest a book or aren’t avid readers.

  13. I would love the book. I need to grow in the area of expectations and obligations. I tend to over-extend myself and with health issue, I’m not able to meet some obligations and expections of not only others, but myself and I don’t like feeling guilty because of it.

  14. Freedom, I know it in my head but the last two years I’ve found myself locked up in a prison of past issues. There have been so disappointments and some relationships that just threw me for a loop and I just have a difficult time getting up again. I would love to have the conference call, just to be able to speak to someone and possible receive some motivation to move forward in faith. Thanks Renee.

  15. Either! I need to be free of guilt. I am tired of “what if’s” and “if only”.

  17. I am currently reading Limitless Life…what a treasure. I d love to win the conference call series. Thanks so much for your ministry.

  18. A book. I have so many of areas that need work. 😉 Being a more effective, patient parent, being more committed to a study/Bible reading & praying, getting passed disappointments and continuing to do as I know God wants from me!! Thanks for the blessings!

  19. I would LOVE the book…I am currently living with so much guilt that I need something to help me. I work two full time jobs and hardly see my family and really need to learn….so thank you for the opportunity to win this book. Be blessed in your day!

    Smiles & Blessings,
    Robin 🙂

  20. I would love the Conference Calls…..right now I am working on being a better wife and mother through letting Christ heal the small places in my heart that I have left under lock and key. This conference call series would be amazing for letting God heal my past pain so I can live an abundant life in Him. Knowing who I am comes only from His view of me – – not anyone of this world. A Confident Heart in Christ!! 🙂 Thanks Renee for that book & devotion – making my way through it again 🙂

  21. Either-I need Gods help with letting go of mu abused-filled past.
    May our Lord reveal to each of us the amazing truth that He has indeed already set us us free.

  22. Either but I would benefit most from the Limitless Life. God recently revealed to me my calling and I want to have a life without LIMITS that I give and only accept those from the Lord. God chose me to be a shepherd for the little people. I never thought in a million kazillion years that He would choose me to be a leader for children and their families. It is an honor that is so unimaginable! I want to become MY best for HIM and to do so I know I would benefit from Living a Limitless Life for Jesus! ***Doing a Happy Dance at this very moment while trying to type!!!!***

  24. I love both but I think the freedom from mommy guilt would help me. I am expecting my third child (a total surprise, thought it was menopause 🙂 ) and I keep thinking that I am not doing a good job with the first two and what am I going to do with this third one. Thanks and blessings!

  25. Either – I’ll let God pick for me 🙂 I think I can use help in either area! Thanks for the chance!

  26. I would like the Limitless Life. To be living a Limitless life for Jesus would be the best!

  27. I would feel very blessed to win the conference call! The area I feel I need the most help is my spiritual life and trusting in the Lord and letting go of my past sins. I think that is what is holding me back from being a better mom, wife, and friend. I long to let go of guilt over past mistakes and past wrong choices and live in true freedom, as your post so encouraged.

  28. I would love to win this for my daughter! She is trying to get pregnant and I know that she will need this type of ministry!

  29. Limitless Life because, well, I’m not quite living that way now and I surely believe God would want me to live Limitless.

  30. Either. I can use both tools to help in my life & with my children. I want to be able to move forward in what God wants me to do in my life. I get tired of living just to live. I know God has more for my family & my 2 boys.

  31. I feel I am at a crossroads in life and I feel God preparing me but the resistance is overwhelming. I have listened to others for direction in my life for 38 years and I want to break free from that. I would love to take part in the “Limitless Life” series. Thank you so much for the offer and for the constant encouragement.

  33. I would love to win “Limitless Life” because I want to live a limitless life so I can move into being all God has called me to become, I can share with others the Good News, and to help others to live a limitless life

  34. Have two teenagers. Need to learn how to let them grow and make decisions on their own and to trust that they are in God’s hands.

  35. Book please. I struggle everyday to find balance between work, wife and mom and sadly feel like I fail at all 3 at the same time. Just when I think I’ve got it, something happens and how I should react is far from how I actually do. Thank you for your ministry!!!

  36. Conference calls. My daughter is grown with children of her own now. I feel it is my time to live limitless with God!

  37. I would love either of these. I did the limitless life but was not able to get the conference call and would live that. Would also live the other one.

  38. limitless life, would be great to have this study for the ladies in my church! Thank You!

  39. EITHER! They both sound fabulous and either would be a blessing to me in my current season as a daughter of God in my first year of motherhood, a time I’m simultaneously in awe of my gorgeous son and the most humbled I’ve ever been too 🙂

  44. Would Love the book…need to grow my Faith and Postive attitude to apply to daily life.

  46. Both would be such a blessing. I have two children and my husband is a pastor of a small church. My children are constantly under the microscope and I always need encouragement and help in my personal walk.

  47. The conference call series would be amazing to win because I feel like I still label myself with worldly labels instead of biblical ones. I want to break the cycle and redefine how I see myself so it aligns with how God sees me!

  48. I would like the book. I need spiritual discipline with finances. I am learning how to be a good stewardess over the money God blesses me with. I have grown so much spiritually but I have realized that God wants me to be spiritually complete in all areas of my life. Procrastination is an issue that I’ve allowed to control my life and as of yesterday, I made a decree with God that I will no longer allow procrastination to hold me back. Now I have to walk in that and work hard everyday. I am learning to accept my niece as my own child. She has been with us since 2011. We have a 3 year old and sometimes I notice that I wil do somethings for my child that I don’t or won’t do for my niece. She is 18 now. Glory be to God, we got her through high school and now we are prepping for college. My husband and I are like her parents, she has no one but us. Thanks in advance for your prayers.
