Some girls look to fill the emptiness with their rebellious ways and get into trouble. Other girls try hard to fill the emptiness with good things and get praise. But both girls are reaching for something we'll never find outside of God.
Emily P. FreemanRather than admitting you don't know what to do next, you fake it in public and feel lost when you're alone.
Emily P. FreemanMaybe you're wondering what it actually means to live a graceful life. We've got many chapters ahead to figure out what that might look like for you. ...
Emily P. FreemanThese outward identities we build for ourselves are not all that we are. A person is made of so many layers. Skin is just the top layer. It's the part you can see, so when you walk into a room, others won't run into you. It's the brown-hair, brown-eyes layer; the you-look-good-in-green layer.
Your outside is important because God made that part. He made you on purpose, uniquely beautiful. But you can't stop there, because that's your body, your skin, your outside. Dead people have all that stuff too.
You have a longing to be understood, but still feel the need to protect yourself.

Emily P. FreemanI want to encourage you today: needy is a beautiful place to be. When we recognize our need, we will finally look around for something (or someone) to fill it.
