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
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.
- 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!!

Book so I can help others.
I would love to win A Confident Heart Devotional. I love your words with the scripture.
Free book Please! Thank you for sharing! Gives me hope. Jennifer Chapman
Free book please!
Dear Renee, I have struggled with graceless expectations since I have been saved and came to know the Lord. It’s about 30 years. I have had my ups and downs and in and outs with God and our relationship. He has always been with me through these situations. Guilt is a big factor and not really understanding the real meaning of grace in Jesus. Satan always throws my past in my face…but I have gotten better with this, by quoting scripture and talking to the Lord about Him and his goodness and forgiveness. Limited Life would be very helpful with my daily struggles of guilt and grace. In Christ, Rebecca
I would love the conference call series…Limitless Life…that is what I am striving for right now and am very sure you ladies have great information I could use. Thank you for always sharing.
1. LImitless Life – Financial struggle and caring for aging parents seems to make me see my life as boxed in and very limited.
Encouragement for changes I can make and things I can do to change my perspective would be helpful.
2. No More Perfect Kids – I would like to win for my daughter who is raising three preschoolers and is a very conscientious mom.
Thanks for the offer!
Live a Limitless Life in Christ.
This sounds perfect for my Waypoints Women in the Word. WE are a group of women of varying ages looking to become more transparent to help mentor the other women in our church community
I would love to win the conference call! Being in a very difficult marriage and caring for my children and live-in mother-in-law I feel very limited and discouraged at times. I know God wants me to use my experiences to help others someday so I would greatly appreciate learning new information and advice. Thank you! Christine
#4 Crafting a life vision plan – My husband has Alzheimer’s and I am very uncertain about how the rest of my life is going to look like
Book please!
Either will be a blessing
HI
I could use both, but right now I would rather have No more perfect Kids. Thanks for the daily emails and the ministry you guys provide.
Please enter me for either. Thank you for your ministry and service. Your messages are always so timely
I would love to get my hands on the book! I am a single mom and trying to do the very best for my kids and I know I mess up a lot!! I always try to remember that no one is ever perfect but it is a hard one to learn.
Thank you!
Either. I would love to grow in either area.
The book would be amazing! I am always striving to be a better mom and to do it God’s way. It is so hard to remind myself that perfection is not the goal and grace is abundant. Still working on this one. . .
Book; love your books. U are such an inspiring author.
I would love to win a copy of limitless life because I am a single mom and this puts soo many limits on me, I feel like…please pick me!
Either! Both are insightful and inspirational and would be an asset! Thanks!
