This Christmas season, I don't want you to get caught up in the consumerism of our culture. I don't want you to buy this book for the sake of having a present to wrap. I want you to embrace the challenge that God gave me and is allowing me to share with others.

If you or a lady in your life seems up for the challenge, consider gifting them the You Are Beautiful journal. It's an opportunity to come together as a community of women and explore the depths of God's heart for us. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from this journal, and only when we dedicate time each day to spend time with God, He reveals Himself. 

One January 1st, I'll begin this journey right along side you. As a way of sharing and supporting, I've set up a private Facebook group. I'll post my experiences and words of encouragement, and hope that these little reminders will help you along your own personal journey. 

As a reminder, there is no right or wrong way to experience these 40 days - I simply ask that you would come to God and allow Him to speak the words you need to hear. Everyone's journey will be unique to their own life experiences, and that is the beauty of coming together as a diverse community of women. 

Merry Christmas to you and yours! May this season of Advent be one that draws you closer and closer to God and His community!
