INSIGHT

Stretch Marks As Gospel Evidence

  • Motherhood leaves visible and invisible marks that reflect spiritual growth, not just physical change.
  • Abbie reframes those marks as evidence of a life used as a tool for God's work rather than a beauty to hoard.
ADVICE

Use Your Body As A Tool

  • Treat your body as a tool to serve God and others rather than a treasure to hoard for personal glory.
  • Prioritize stewardship but avoid making appearance the central focus of your identity and time investments.
ADVICE

Question Cosmetic Changes Deeply

  • Before cosmetic procedures ask why and examine your motives to avoid vanity or financial drain on your family.
  • Consider health risks, stewardship, and heart posture rather than following cultural pressure for perpetual youth.
