Filling the Soul Hole
Today, more than ever, a spirit of hopelessness presses down particularly on people who don’t like themselves or feel like they can’t do anything right. Many lack a feeling of significance which is crucial to emotional, spiritual, physical and relational stability. Countless people try to meet these needs through escapism into the cyber world. It is not unusual to be more proud of the number of friends you have on Facebook rather than the quality of friends. Because we are made in God’s likeness connecting with other real people is our most fundamental need.

Eating Disorders are on the Rise in Children
Sara first heard “the voice,” the one that told her she was fat—much bigger than the other girls—the one that said she’d never be a real ballerina, at the tender age of five. She didn’t know how to disce this voice. As she grew into a teen, the voice became louder and stronger and she eventually developed an eating disorder.

The Skinny on Being Trapped
Sara slipped her tiny body into her beautiful, pink leotard, anticipating another ballet class. After putting on her matching ballet slippers she imagined she was a princess…until she looked at herself in the mirror.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kimberly Davidson
If you are a woman who is not willing to settle for routines and rules but wants to fully devote her life to God and become all he wants her to be, then you will want to hear Kimberly's messages.
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." [Romans 12:2] God has a perfect plan for every Christian’s life, but we must learn how to abandon our self-will and pursue God’s in order for his plan to materialize. He must lead the process and we must cooperate. What we need is a complete spiritual makeover—new thought patterns, new priorities, new habits, a new purpose, new relationships, new values—everything new.

After successfully navigating a major transition myself, through the grace of God, I now consider it my life's work to help other women do the same.
