Breaking the Lies: Knowing Who God Says You are in Christ.

-

As a mom, I want my children to walk in confidence—not in themselves, but in the Lord. I want them to know without a doubt who they are, what they are worth, and that they are deeply loved by God. But how can I teach them to believe these truths if I struggle to believe them myself?

This week, I am focusing on rejecting the lies the enemy has whispered to me for far too long and embracing what God says about me instead. Because the truth is, we cannot truly love and teach our children to walk in their God-given identity if we have not yet embraced it ourselves.

The Lies That Become Our Identity

The enemy is crafty. He doesn’t always attack in obvious ways; instead, he plants subtle lies—small seeds of doubt that, if left unchecked, grow into the way we see ourselves. Over time, these lies begin to shape our identity.

  1. "You're Not Good Enough."

    • Whether it’s in motherhood, marriage, work, or faith, the enemy loves to make us feel inadequate. But God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)

  2. "You're Too Broken to Be Loved."

    • Our past mistakes and pain can feel like stains we can’t erase. But God says, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)

  3. "You’re Alone."

    • In hard seasons, the enemy tries to isolate us with the lie that no one understands. But God promises, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)

  4. "You’re a Bad Mom."

    • We all have moments of struggle, but the enemy wants us to believe we are failing. God reminds us, "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." (Proverbs 31:26) He has given us everything we need to raise our children in Him.

  5. "You’re Not Worthy of God’s Love."

    • The enemy tries to convince us that we must earn God’s love. But the truth is, "God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) His love is unconditional.

What I Tell My Children Every Day

Because I refuse to let the enemy's lies take root in my children's hearts, I speak truth over them daily. I want these words to be what they cling to in hard moments:

  • You are loved. (Jeremiah 31:3)
  • You are chosen. (1 Peter 2:9)
  • You are wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
  • You are strong and courageous. (Joshua 1:9)
  • You are never alone. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
  • You are created for a purpose. (Ephesians 2:10)
  • You are victorious in Christ. (Romans 8:37)

But these aren’t just words for my children. They are for me, too. They are for you.

Choosing to Believe What God Says

It’s not enough to know these truths—we have to believe them. We have to let them sink into our hearts, replacing the lies we've carried for too long. Because when we walk in confidence in who God says we are, we become better mothers, better wives, and better reflections of Christ.

So this week, I choose to meditate on God’s truth and let it become the foundation of my identity. I pray that as I do, my children will see the change in me and grow to know without a doubt who they are in Him.

What lies have you believed for too long? And what truth will you choose to replace them with today?

Hello, I’m a mom of four as a self-employed business owner, I’ve learned how to juggle many roles, often feeling stretched thin, but my faith has always been a source of strength and guidance. Life hasn’t always been easy—marriage struggles and personal challenges have tested me, but each experience has deepened my faith and understanding of who I am. This blog is a space where I share my heart, my journey, and the lessons I’m learning along the way. I hope my story can offer encouragement and connection to theirs walking their own paths of faith and growth.

When Christians Judge the Woman Who Survived.

There is a kind of heartbreak that changes you forever. Not the kind that fades after a few weeks. Not the kind people write pretty quotes about and move on from. I mean the kind of heartbreak that lives inside your body. The kind that makes your stomach tighten when someone raises their voice. The kind that teaches you to stay quiet during conflict because your mind still remembers what fear felt like. The kind that steals pieces of who you were until one day you look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself anymore. For years, I fought for my marriage. Not casually. Not halfway. I fought with everything inside me. I was married for six years, but my husband maybe lived with me for less than two of those years because of drug addiction. And before anyone rushes to judge me, let me say this honestly: I was not innocent either. I struggled too. Addiction touched both of our lives. But somewhere along the line, God changed my heart. I chose to stop. I chose my ...

January: When Childcare Providers Pay the Price for December Choices.

-
To childcare providers, educators, minders, and centre owners around the world — this one is for us. January has become one of the hardest months in early childhood education, and not because we don’t love what we do. It’s because every year, many of us start the year unpaid, unsupported, and blamed for simply asking for what is owed. After December — a month of holidays, celebrations, spending, and “jollies” — January arrives with silence. Invoices that were sent in November are suddenly “not received.” Calls are ignored. Messages go unanswered. Payments arrive short — if they arrive at all. And when we follow up? We are told we are attacking parents. We are accused of being unreasonable. We are sworn at. We are lied to. Or worse — completely ignored. Let’s be very clear about something: Childcare is not a charity. It is not optional. And it is not something you can delay paying for without consequences. When fees go unpaid in January, it doesn’t just affect a business on paper. It me...

The Gift That Made Me Homesick.

Lately, this world feels foreign. Not dark. Not unbearable. Just temporary. The noise feels louder. The striving feels emptier. The rush for things that fade feels thinner than it once did. And deep inside, there is a quiet pull — not downward, but upward. A homesickness. Scripture says we are strangers and pilgrims on the earth (see Hebrews 11:13). I used to read that as poetic language. Now I feel it in my bones. I belong to Another. And His name is Jesus. 🌿 The Gift That Reveals the Father The gift of Jesus is not only about salvation. It is about revelation. When the Father gave His Son, He was not just solving a sin problem — He was unveiling His heart. In John 3:16, we read that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. He gave. Not because we were good. Not because we were stable. Not because we had proven ourselves worthy. But because love is who He is. Jesus shows us that God is not distant. He is not cold. He is not measuring us with a disappointed sigh. He steps int...
