Your Weekly Guide to Growing in Faith & Natural Hair Care

Hey Reader!

​

Every week I send a newsletter, you receive tips to help you with your hair care infused with some faith for living.

Today is a bit different because I recognized something very important that needed to be addressed.

​

So many women are struggling with feelings of insufficiency and self-worth. From the way they look to what they own to how important the world sees them.

​

These lies come straight from the enemy of our souls. In fact, I want to show you just how much you've been lied to if you have ever struggled in this area.

​

Today's newsletter has two goals:

​

1. Help you recognize the enemy's voice
2. Grow spiritually stronger so you can face the storms of life and stand.

​

Let's get it...

📈 GROW IN GRACE​
satan's Playbook

Women are precious to the Lord. Ever since He's given us the incredible responsibility of bringing life into the world, the enemy of our souls has done all he could to discredit us and make us feel less than. In this article, I expose 10 of satan's strategies used to try and destroy a woman's self-worth. Read here.

✍🏽 GARDEN OF GROWTH​
​Free Scripture Reading/Writing Plans

Feeding your spirit is more important than feeding your physical body. While I have no influence over what you feed your body, I'd like to have some influence on what you feed your spirit so that you can be strong in the Lord and in all of His might.

​

That's why I started creating themed monthly Bible reading/writing plans which I'd like to make available to you for free. The first in the series of Bible reading plans is "Your Body, His Temple."

​

March's reading plan is "Trusting God for Strength."

​

If you'd like to start a regular scripture reading and writing practice that's focused on specific themes, you can sign up to start downloading them here. Each plan will be available in 12 different designs and comes with complimentary matching note pages.

🙌🏼 TREASURE THIS

Your Worth Is In Christ

Don't let the lies of the enemy build a nest in your head. Feed on God's Word to not just discover your true worth in Christ but be solidified in it.

​

Here are 3 Practical Ways to Treasure Your Self-Worth in Christ:

​

• Affirm Your Identity: Write down and regularly speak affirmations/confessions that are rooted in the scriptures (for ex: In the book of Ephesians you'll discover scriptures that you can affirm like "I am chosen by God."
  ​
• Replace the Lies of the Enemies with Truth: Whenever a negative thought comes into your mind, replace it by speaking out a truth from God’s Word.
  ​
• Guard Your Thoughts: Protect your mind from the thoughts of the devil by spending time in prayer and the scriptures. This is where the free scripture reading plans can help.

​
​ Plus, Here's 3 Scriptures to Treasure This Week:
​

• Isaiah 43:1 – “But now, this is what the Lord says - he who created you...,
  he who formed you,...Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
• John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
• Romans 8:37 – “In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
