Being transparent has not always been easy for me as it allows others to see my flaws and imperfections. I have always wanted people to perceive me as perfect, but never before have I experienced such a freedom. Not unlike walking in a new pair of shoes, being transparent is not comfortable at first. However, you soon feel at home in them and standing more confidant in who you are in Christ, clothed in His grace. He desires to give us a little shimmer and sparkle – not for us to get noticed, but to see His beauty reflected in us to be all that we were created to be and live life to the fullest. My hope is that by being transparent it will have a ripple effect on you to experience that same freedom.

May you see the beauty, wonder, and joy of life and know that you are loved and are able to make it through anything.
