Beauty… a subject matter that is hardly addressed especially when it comes to motherhood.Anytime moms are around something that delights our senses it reveals what captivates to our soul. This is further proof of God’s vast array of images and what is true beauty. Abbie defines true beauty as something that awakens us to God.“The message of beauty comes from the stamping of God’s image from the beginning and the continual attraction that draws us back to His beauty” Abbie shares that the definition of kingdom beauty is something that we can’t purchase or bargain for, it simply flows from the beauty maker. At its core it resides in each of us from the moment we’re born. It can’t be masked or hidden.“Beauty can be overused at times… I’m not sure if that does a service to God because the World’s beauty is more external than what God calls beautiful.”She also shares her story, struggles with accepting her beauty, and in turn, how to teach our children to be confident understanding their true beauty and affirming them in it.What we chat aboutTrue beauty/Kingdom beautyChallenges that girls faceTearing down lies and deceptions Affirming children on true beauty
