Behind the Scenes: Meet Amanda

We’re all about experience life transformed here at More to Be, believing the God is the changer of hearts and lives through faith in His Son.

Each month, you get to meet one…

Trapped in the Chains of Self-Harm

We know that there are many unspoken issues our readers face and in the silence, often feel isolated in their struggles. Our desire is to break through the silence and the dark lonely places with the light of Christ and His truth.  Today, we step out in that direction as one of our our contributors brings to you a perspective on the very serious issue of cutting.

The Facebook Status

All I had to do was click post.   I had spent time choosing the right words, putting them together just so to made my point.  I had found a scripture verse that related to the situation, and had added lyrics from a Third Day song to really bring it home.  It was totally passive aggressive, but this person would definitely know my status was about them.

The Girl in the Mirror: A Teen’s Guide to Acceptance

My heart broke for her as tears streamed down her face.  Her mascara had run down her cheeks and she could barely look at herself in the mirror.  I had no words to say to her, no way to make it better.  This girl was broken.  This girl didn’t have anything left to give of herself.  This girl wanted to know why this was all so hard.  This girl… was me. As a teen, I was not what anyone would have considered “cool.”  I was never one of those girls who seemed to have it all together.  You know those…
