We All Struggle! How to Have Your Own “Candid Conversations”

There is plenty of excitement in the air this week. Do you want to know why? Okay. I can’t wait to tell you, because the suspense is killing me! I need to share some very exciting news! Next week on Monday, August 13^th, our book “Candid Conversations” will be available for everyone to purchase, read and enjoy! This book has truly been a labor of love, and I am so excited to be a part of this project.  Many times, as women, we think we are alone in our struggles, but I am here to tell you that you are not alone. “Candid Conversations” is filled with real life stories of  women of all ages and stages of life who struggle with many of the same things you struggle with. Every story will inspire and encourage you.

Becoming a Christian does not make you or your life perfect. If that were the case, none of us would have a continuing need for Jesus or each other. Real life is full of struggles, and it is through them we recognize our need for God. In our struggles we grow in love, empathy and compassion. The fact that we struggle doesn’t mean we are flawed, it means God has given us a story to share and a reason to help others who are struggling.

Every story in “Candid Conversations” is authentic. Each woman has not only lived out their story in real life, but wants to make sure you know regardless of your current circumstances you have a place where you belong. Life on this earth will never be perfect until Jesus returns. In the meantime, we will always have trials and tribulations. What a blessing it is that God created us for relationship and the ability to share the good, the bad and the ugly. God doesn’t require anyone to wear a mask. God will never ask you to be anyone but you!

Have you ever looked at other people’s lives and wondered why you’re the one who always struggles? Sometimes in our walk of faith we tend to think everyone else’s life is perfect, but it isn’t. Everyone struggles with something at some point in their life. Often, if you look behind the scenes of a “perfect” person’s life you will see a very different picture. This is what “Candid Conversations” is all about. This book allows you to look behind the scenes and see God at work in the lives of women just like you.

The enemy loves to make us feel isolated in our struggles, but the reality is there are others who know exactly what you’re going through because they have been in your shoes. My story happens to be about post-partum depression. It was a terrible experience. I felt alone and scared in my thoughts. The things I thought were despicable and I could not understand why I had to go through this devastating period in my life. Everyone told me that pregnancy was such a wonderful experience, but it wasn’t. Post-partum depression made me feel like a horrible mother and put me on the verge of a complete breakdown. I was sick, exhausted, agitated, scared, and the insomnia was horrible. The birthing experience for me was nothing like it was cracked up to be. I know there are plenty of women who thrive through pregnancy and birth, but I wasn’t one of them. The more we talk about these issues, the less stigma is attached and healing can begin to take place. Let’s take off our masks and be real!

It has been a blessing to be a contributing author and a privilege to work with Heather Hart from Candidly Christian who has been the mastermind behind this project.

I hope you will join us on Facebook on Monday, August 13^th from 9:00 am-9:00 pm (Central) for “Candid Conversations” book launch day for some fun, and prizes!  Also, if you purchase our book on launch day there is some sweet swag waiting for you! Every hour there will be a give-away from Jesus Glitter! I’m not going to share what it is because who doesn’t like a surprise???
