Body Image Guest Post

Though we have never met, the lovely Narelle Nettelbeck from WA is a great support to me as a fellow Christian mother, writer and blogger.  For the next two weeks Narelle will be featuring Aussie Christian mums in interviews and guest posts on her blog Moments For Mum.  She has some amazing women lined up, and I’m privileged to be her first invited guest.

You can read my interview with Narelle here.

If you’re up for something slightly heavier, you might also like my guest post on body image.  (It’s an easy read, I promise!  But it does talk about Bible verses and God and stuff, ok?)  Here’s a snippet…

Your body was given to you by God, and He designed it to do some particular jobs. Like grow small humans inside of you, and then feed them from your own self, and carry them around. You know what that requires? It requires you to have a stomach, and hips, and thighs, and breasts, and arms. It’s ok to have those bits. You’re supposed to have those bits. And it’s ok if in the process of having children those bits have become squishy, wobbly, wrinkly, flabby, deflated, or saggy. They might be bigger or smaller than they were before, and that’s ok too!

I’d love you to jump over to Moments For Mum and read the rest of the article.  And I know Narelle would love your comments as much as I would.
