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!!

  2. I am trying to contact you, Renee about an upcoming event to see if we could get together while you are in Findlay, Ohio for the Reaching Women conference. I am a writer and speaker that lives in Findlay, Ohio. As an upcoming author & a young Christian Women’s speaker wanted to connect with you while you are here. I am also an adoptive mama of 7 little ones from Haiti and the US. I would love to hear from you & connect. Much love my sister in Christ, Kim.

  5. No more perfect kids. Hubby and I are raising two grand kids and we are struggling with the modern day issues. It is much harder to “handle” them than it was our five. Times have changed and schools have changed and it is just so hard. The kids are sibling, boy 14, girl 13 and they have been with us since infants. It just seems nothing makes a difference with the actions we use to discipline. Next week they are going to a Christian camp for the first time and they are really excited about it. And they attend youth and church with us each Sunday. I just need some help on what ever it is I need to change. They fight like cats and dogs and don’t have respect for each other. They both have made a decision to ask Jesus to be their Savior but need to grow more in His love.

  6. EITHER (oh my goodness. i hope it isn’t to late to enter for this great giveaway)

  11. I would like the Mommy book please! I deal with this daily. I see how I want my children to live and not thinking they are one and six expect them to do things just perfect now. Thinking they should ‘know’ what to do and what not to do all the time. i try to be open with them and listen to them and keep busy with them but then I feel guilty because i neglect the house. Then I feel guilty about the house and neglect the children. It’s a daily struggle with so many issues. I think reading this will open my eyes to they ways God wants me to be.

  12. No More Perfect Kids would be a blessing to my daughter. As a single working mother of two boys, 2 &6, she often feels the guilt of not being all things for her children and herself. She needs God’s perspective on parenting and the beauty in the imperfection and journey. Thx!

  14. Limitless Life because I would truly like to know God’s plan for me, I am searching and know that it shouldn’t be so hard. I believe in God but don’t believe in me!

  15. I would love the parenting book… I definitely struggle at times with knowing that I am a good mom and not needing my children’s validation.

  16. I would love either. However, the book is very appealing. I believe that I need to work on freedom of the feeling of not measuring up to others’ standards and just worry about what God’s standards would be.

  19. Hi Renee,
    I would love to win the PARENTING BOOK which I plan to be reading with my perfectonist husband who is having a hard time extending GRACE to our 2 grown up sons & 2 teenage twin daughters including even me 🙁 It might also be a way that he can spend even just few minutes of his time with me….- my workaholic man.
    May God bless you more Renee & the Proverbs 31 Minstries. God has been using your ministry to blesss me. To that I’m forever grateful! THANK YOU!

    Blessings
    Irene

  20. I would like the book “No More Perfect Kids” as my husband and I are rasing a second family of 2 grandsons; ages 7 &8. Thank you!

  23. Limitless life. I feel I need growth in trusting God no matter what. I have a disease that attacks my joints, ligiments, and tendons. I have had five surgeries so far and am in pain all the time. I have so many limitation that it is hard to see how limitless God really is. I am looking forward to this series!
