We can’t plan our circumstances, but we can plan our perspective on how we live through those circumstances.
With gut-level vulnerability and boundless cheering, Honey, Check It! lives to lock arms with anyone who has experienced any happy and hard times in this life. Lauren White experienced first hand that even with her lipstick on and shoulders held back in an outward display of 'I’m fine. Everything’s good’, life still takes lousy dips as hurt and struggle are unavoidable. She has yet to find any shade of lip color that can fully mask the wounds that we all carry. Financial challenges, illnesses, loss of loved ones, fear of failing, messy relationships, global chaos, and our perception of what others think, can all lead us to our forehead in our palms and asking 'What next?’ For those of us who believe in the God of the universe, we can even start to question His goodness and positioning as He seems to have vanished off of our life’s grid.
Through sore-cheek-smiles and tear-filled eyes, Lauren invites you to . . .
- take a deep breath and fully embrace the fact that you are never alone in the good and not-so-good days of your life
- diligently find and remember God in your happy and hard times
- smile and relax your shoulders as you discover that you can simultaneously view joy and sorrow in the same lens
Dive into Honey, Check It! for a journey of shifting perspective. Cradled in waves that are thought-provoking and full of laughter, you will grasp a reality to behold life through lenses of Biblical truth, love, hope, and worth.
