#MeetandGreetMonday with Michelle Graham #Romance #RoTG @MichelleGAuthor

Good morning. It’s Meet and Greet Monday!

With us today is Romance Author, Michelle Graham.

Welcome, Michelle! Describe a typical day in the life of Michelle Graham? Pretty crazy! I’m up early to get the kids ready for school, then I hit the road for my EDJ. When I get home, I cook, help with homework, chauffeur the offspring to various activities, and then try to squeeze some writing in before I…

We have a lot to teach each other. It is our ethnic isolation that keeps us from learning from wise women. Some of my most treasured friendships, those that have taken me farthest on my journey of healthy body image, are with women of other ethnicities. I need them. And they need each other...God's design for multi-ethnic community is truly for our good.

Such contentment lies just out of reach for those of us who are struggling to love our bodies. We spend so much thought, money and time craving another body. We have taken our eyes off God's good plans for us and for his kingdom. We have forgotten that the body God chose for each of us-our eyes, our hair, our chest, our calves-is actually not ours. It is a tool for the kingdom.

Shame tells us we should hide who we are. Shame is the root of our physical insecurities and is sown by seeds of doubt. Shame makes us hungry for praise and desire to get affirmation for our body. Shame has one enemy: it’s called grace. Grace is the unmerited love and favor from God. It’s an unearned gift. If shame say’s I’m defective, grace tells me I’m valuable. Shame’s greatest weapon is the fear of judgment. Grace’s even bigger weapon is the relief of unconditional love. Shame says that because I am flawed I am unacceptable. Grace says that though I am flawed, I am cherished. Shame believes that the opinion of others is what matters. Grace believes that the opinion of God is what matters. Shame claims I must be perfect to earn the approval of others. Grace claims I am accepted regardless of seeming imperfections. Shame makes us hide. Grace makes us frolic.
