Look at You, Girl by Caitlin Zick Pdf

Look at You, Girl is a book for girls and women of all ages. It is a kickstart to seeing yourself the way God does a bit more clearer.Girls, we invest so much in our looks, but do we ever slow down and look inside? Can you imagine if we started investing in our souls? Take a week to shift your focus from what you see on the outside, to look at how He made you inside and out. Our life's purpose is far greater than how we will fit into that dress, what mascara we use or what we'll look like in a bikini. Grab your girls and start this one-week journey together, it's time to start seeing yourself through a fresh set of lens and gain a clear perspective of who you were made to be."The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7The struggle with "self-acceptance" stops the second we actually begin to see ourselves the way God does. Watch as His Word comes alive in you and gives you that strong foundation for who you are and Whose you are. Together we will throw away the lies that don't belong in your beautiful mind, and start walking in your new pair of shoes-shoes of peace. This short book is full of scriptures, stories, sayings and even songs that will bring you to a place of God-confidence.

Seeing Eye Girl by Beverly J. Armento Pdf

As the “Seeing Eye Girl” for her blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother, Beverly Armento was intimately connected with and responsible for her, even though her mother physically and emotionally abused her. She was Strong Beverly at school—excellent in academics and mentored by caring teachers—but at home she was Weak Beverly, cowed by her mother’s rage and delusions. Beverly’s mother regained her sight with two corneal transplants in 1950 and went on to enjoy a moment of fame as an artist, but these positive turns did nothing to stop her disintegration into her delusional world of communists, radiation, and lurking Italians. To survive, Beverly had to be resilient and hopeful that better days could be ahead. But first, she had to confront essential ethical issues about her caregiving role in her family. In this emotional memoir, Beverly shares the coping strategies she invented to get herself through the trials of her young life, and the ways in which school and church served as refuges over the course of her journey. Breaking the psychological chains that bound her to her mother would prove to be the most difficult challenge of her life—and, ultimately, the most liberating one.
