Katie loves her friends, neighbors, family, church family, and women online with her whole heart. She encourages others in the places they are, and is always willing to share about what the Lord is doing in her heart. How does she overcome the comparison trap? I think it starts with sitting down with the Lord […]
The biggest way I fight the comparison trap, which is SO utterly real, is honestly prayer and praise. First – I spend a little time really praising God for what He has done for me. I thank him that He’s drawn the lines in pleasant places for me and then I list what those lines […]
How do these four women overcome the comparison trap? Their answers all contain one common theme: be YOU. Becki, Emily, Carly, and Keri have such an authentic confidence that I greatly admire. When I immerse myself daily in God’s word, I align myself with the truth of who I am in Christ. The pull of […]
Sheri has a story of beauty and hope. She has endured a lot of heartache, but with God’s love and peace, she has chosen to look forward in hope and confidence, and not let comparison hinder a joy-filled life. The comparison trap has most frequently come up in my life when I am dreaming of […]

Be present. Give it your all. Love unconditionally. Serve wholeheartedly. These are the things God has been telling me lately about the season I find myself in. On the uneventful, mundane days, and the busy, stressful ones, He’s there for me. And with me. Cheering me on in my own story. Michelle Myers–one of the […]
I have a confession: it can be really hard for me to celebrate other women in my life when I feel insecure, threatened, or jealous. But when I surrender my pride and selfishness, it is easier to make a sincere choice to cheer those women on, and genuinely want the best for them. It’s like strengthening the celebration muscle. The muscle […]
I first heard of Lindsay Letters from one of my all-time girl crushes, Shauna Niequist, on instagram years ago. (When Shauna promotes someone, or something, I’m all ears.) I started following Lindsay and immediately became a fan. Then in 2014, I heard Lindsay speak at the Influence Conference, and I was so impressed by her authenticity […]
