Guest Post: The You Are Project

Hello my lovely readers! I know I haven't posted in a little while (OK, a LONG while). So as a way to kick off getting back into the game, I wanted let my friend share a post with you guys. I've been writing a beauty column for The You Are Project for a few months, and I am truly honored to be a part of this organization!

I know you'll love the site as much as I do!

xoxoKelsey.

 Hey Ladies!

My name is Lauren, and I’m the co-founder and Web Manager for The You Are Project, an online magazine for Christian women. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about our vision for this organization.

The mission of The You Are Project is to help women discover WHO THEY ARE in Christ. (You can learn more by reading our actual mission statement. Once we know who God created us to be and are confident in Him, amazing things begin to happen:

1. Our confidence, paired with a Godly love for others, will draw people out of their insecurity. I firmly believe that a compliment or support from confident woman has more power than we realize. Our confidence isn’t for ourselves— it is meant to change the people around us.

2. Jealously will evaporate, and relationships between women will be restored. Our unity is a weapon, and will further destroy the enemy’s strongholds on us.

3. We will be unafraid to use our passion and God-given talents in the way that He asks us to.

Can you imagine what God could do with a group of women who are confident, strong, unified, and in love with Him? The world would never be the same! Catherine (my co-founder) and I dream of seeing women set free and seeing this vision realized.

Right now we are taking baby steps, and our online magazine has articles on everything from fashion tips to the scoop on up-and-coming authors and interviews with women who are changing the world. We also have many new projects in the works, from online resources to workshops that will help women discover their purpose and grow closer to God. We would love if you supported us by making a donation, or simply by visiting our website at www.theyouareproject.com and sharing our posts with a friend.

I would like to thank Kelsey for the opportunity to share with all of you! I hope you enjoy our magazine. Feel free to email me at lauren@theyouareproject.com with any questions or feedback;
I love to hear from you!
