August is Childrenâs Eye Health and Safety Month, an important time to focus on protecting the vision of our little ones. Healthy eyesight is critical to a childâs learning, development, and overall well-being. Yet children are susceptible to a variety of eye concerns, from infections and injuries to conditions like nearsightedness.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reminds parents, caregivers, and educators that safeguarding childrenâs eye health now can preserve their vision for life.
Children rely on their vision for about 80% of what they learn, both in and out of the classroom. Poor eyesight can lead to difficulties in reading, sports, and even social interactions. Often, children do not realize they have a problem because they assume everyone sees the same way they do.
Early detection is key. Regular eye exams can identify conditions such as:
Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism)
Amblyopia

Many Christian women long for more than just checking off a âquiet timeâ box or going through Sunday routines. Deep inside, there is a hunger to live in Godâs presence daily â not just on special occasions. This is what true Christian spirituality is all about: cultivating intimacy with the Lord, walking in step with the Spirit, and allowing His truth to shape every decision, thought, and action.
Christian spirituality is not about mystical rituals or striving for perfection. It is simply about relationship. It is walking with Jesus Christ in such a way that His Spirit transforms us from the inside out.
The Apostle Paul wrote:
âThis I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.â â Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
Spirituality begins with salvation through Christ and continues as we yield to the Spirit, choosing to align our thoughts, desires, and actions with the Word of God.

đ âNot as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.â â Philippians 3:12 KJV
Many Christian women live under the weight of perfectionism. The world whispers, âYou should be further along by now. You will never be enough.â These lies create pressure, shame, and comparison that rob us of joy and keep us stuck.
But the truth of Philippians 3:12 shatters that lie. Paul himself admitted that he was not perfect, nor had he arrived at full maturity â yet his focus was on following after Christ.
Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are no longer striving in vain. We have already been apprehended by Christ, and that gives us a secure identity. Growth in faith is not about arriving at perfection but about pursuing Jesus daily.
You are not behind.
You are not a failure.

âTwo are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.â â Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV)
Life is busy. Between work, ministry, and family, it is easy for our relationships to run on autopilot. But for those whose primary love language is Quality Time, nothing communicates love more than undivided attention and presence.
This love language is not just about proximityâit is about being fully present. In a distracted world, giving someone your time is one of the most powerful ways to say, âYou matter to me.â
Quality Time means intentionally investing in uninterrupted moments with loved ones. Examples include:
Having deep, distraction-free conversations
Taking walks or sharing meals together
Planning simple outings or shared hobbies
For someone who values Quality Time, your focused attention is the gift.

Life coaching is not just about strategies, tools, or plans. At its heart, it is about relationship. When a woman chooses to work with a life coach, she is not hiring someone to âfixâ her lifeâshe is inviting a trusted partner to walk with her on the journey.
As Christian women, we know that growth, healing, and transformation do not happen in isolation. God designed us for connection, for accountability, and for encouragement. That is why the coaching relationship is so powerfulâit creates a safe space where change can take root and flourish.
Many women carry unspoken burdensâfeelings of not being enough, regrets from the past, fears of the future. Too often, they feel they must hold it all together for everyone else. Coaching offers something rare: a safe and confidential place to simply be real.
In this space, there is no judgment, only grace. You can share your struggles without fear of criticism and your dreams without fear of dismissal. Just as J...
Running a business as a Christian woman is more than just building financial successâit is about honoring God, stewarding His gifts, and serving others with integrity. Business can be one of the greatest platforms to shine the light of Christ, but it also comes with unique challenges.
The Word of God reminds us:
âCommit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.â â Proverbs 16:3 KJV
When you bring your faith into your business, you are not just chasing profitsâyou are building Kingdom impact.
At the core of Christian business leadership is alignment. Every decision, from financial planning to customer service, should reflect biblical principles. Honesty, humility, and stewardship are not optionalâthey are essential.
Ask yourself:
Does my business reflect Christ in the way I treat clients and employees?
Am I pursuing excellence, not perfection, as unto the Lord?
Do my goals align with Godâs calling for

đ âAnd ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.â â John 8:32 KJV
Have you ever felt like you are doing âall the right things,â yet your heart is still unsettled? You set goals, read books, and try to stay positive, but something deep inside feels stuck. Many Christian women live with hidden lies that whisper: âYou are not enough.â âYour past disqualifies you.â âGod cannot use someone like you.â
These are not just passing thoughtsâthey are shackles that keep you from walking fully in the abundant life Jesus promised.
This is where the T.R.U.T.H. framework steps inânot as another checklist, but as a lifestyle of freedom. It is about letting Godâs Word shape your personal development at the deepest level: your identity, your confidence, and your future.
Â
The first step to growth is honesty. You cannot conquer what you refuse to confront. Lies often disguise themselves as âfactsâ we believe about ourselves: âI will always be shy.â...

August is Psoriasis Action Month, a time to raise awareness and bring hope to the millions living with this chronic skin condition. Psoriasis is more than just a skin issueâit is an autoimmune disorder where the bodyâs immune system speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly. This leads to scaling, redness, itching, and sometimes pain.
For many, the visible symptoms also carry an emotional burden. Feelings of embarrassment, frustration, or isolation can creep in. But dear friend, God sees you, and He calls you beautiful and wonderfully madeâno condition or diagnosis can alter your worth in His eyes.
Lie-Locked Living whispers:
âI am flawed because of my skin.â
âOthers will only see my condition, not me.â

Applying the T.R.U.T.H.⢠Framework to a Culture in Crisis
We are living in a time when many no longer know what is right or wrong. The waters have been muddied by cultural confusion, moral relativism, and the rejection of Godâs truth. As I listened to âWhatever Happened to Right and Wrong?â by Chip Ingram, I heard a cry not just for moralityâbut for clarity, courage, and conviction.
We are not merely facing behavior problemsâwe are facing a mindset crisis. And the only true solution is spiritual renewal rooted in the Word of God.
This is where the T.R.U.T.H.⢠Mindset Framework comes inâa Biblical process for breaking free from Lie-Locked Living and walking in the freedom Christ offers.
Let us explore how each step speaks directly to the cultural confusion Chip described, and how we as Christian women can reclaim truth in our thinking, our homes, and our lives.

đ âAnd the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.â â Philippians 4:7 KJV
There are moments in life when worry presses in, when stress feels overwhelming, and when circumstances seem to rob us of peace. Yet God promises a peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us but is anchored in Him. This peace is beyond human logic, deeper than emotions, and stronger than fear.
Â
The peace of God is not fragile. It is a supernatural guardâlike a soldier standing watch over our hearts and minds. While the world tries to shake us with lies of fear, inadequacy, and defeat, Godâs peace places a shield of protection over us.
Lie-Locked Living tells us:
âYou will always feel anxious.â
âYou are not in control, so you cannot have peace.â
âYour circumstances determine your joy.â
But the Truth Mindset declares:
Godâs peace is my guard.
Christ Jesus holds my heart and m
