This is my current read and it’s hard to put down. Hosanna’s down-to-earth delivery pulls me in every time.
The environment around us, cultural ‘norms,’ trends, comfy old habits, familiar traditions, scripts that we picked up along the beaten path … they all affect how we think about ourselves. Especially when we’re trying so hard to be accepted. Like following the latest fashion statements, we tend to go with the flow of life, rather than let the Giver of Life flow through us.
It’s easy to get caught up in what is popular and “acceptable” by society. Social Media influencers drop kick thoughts into our heads with a single scroll. It’s no wonder that we carry around far too many opinions that really don’t have any business being held so near and dear to our hearts. We forget that we were made for far more valuable assignments.
We lose sight of what we truly have been given, because quite frankly, we allow our identity to be swooped away.
“Who we believe we are will determine how we live our lives.”

This book is an empowering work by Hosanna and it will ignite that passion in you to dive deeper into your faith and to reclaim your identity in Christ or to better understand it.
If you know of a tween or young adult female who is struggling with all the chaos of identity, this may be a perfect gift.
Or perhaps you are doing battle with what you’ve been told about who you are. Old tapes are hard to erase – but Jesus can transform all that and rewire your hard drive to recognize what is truth so you can “delete” or “reject” what doesn’t need to be stored.
I encourage you, Sister, to pick this one up and embrace it. It will change the way you move forward in your life. You will begin to experience the real you in the real way, because you will understand that what matters is what GOD has spoken over you.
I love you to Heaven and Back, Girlfriend ~

I love this blog! Much better regarding who I am. I’m getting more insights. Those old tapes still get to me, ruin my peace. I turn to Jesus, keep my focus on Him. God tell me truth!My day is jam-packed. A lot of homework for tonight’s small group and I lead two 12-step meetings. I will be speaking about prayer, Because I’m doing a lot of that lately. We have a study guide for friendships. It is so good and going to be so healing. Week one is initiating friendships. I was thinking how all year I had been doing that, never forming any with my church. But then I think of how I have changed. God wants my heart and He has it. Jesus takes away anything that is not pleasing, not on the right path. It’s difficult for me to forgive but I am. I used to think it was me. And I didn’t feel good about myself. Now I know it’s them and maybe they are tortured souls. I need to pray for those that didn’t reciprocate my friendship. Even in my family my blood family. I love how reading Colossians and even Galatians that Paul seems to constantly write letters of encouragement to stand firm in our faith and close to Christ Jesus. This is the only way I can resist any evil temptations. I better get to my homework. I have a lot of insights doing my daily readings and this. I love you!! Jesus loves you and me. I know He is using you. We are God’s children. You are like a protective sister. I thank the Lord for all my sisters in Christ. Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device
