Inner beauty

A Woman’s Inner Strength and Beauty

By / Life & Culture, Health & Beauty

At Grit and Grace Life, we talk about all aspects of a woman’s life, down to the little pleasures like makeup and fashion. But we also like to focus on a woman’s inner beauty—the strength she exudes during a difficult phase of life, like loss and divorce. Or the patience she exemplifies while raising children and focusing on her career. While there is nothing wrong with enjoying makeup and fashion, beauty is also found in the intangible. Witnessing a woman walk through life with strength and confidence is something that can’t be bought!

Never Question Your Value — Jodi Schultz (video)

By / Faith

Any number of things can make us question our self-worth, whether it’s our inability to excel in a job or skill, or allowing the harsh words of someone we care about to shatter our spirit. The pain of feeling like we have no value is detrimental, but even if we believe it, it simply isn’t true. Grit and Grace Life writer Jodi Schultz shares what she told another woman who doubted her worth: that the only person who can determine your worth is the one who created you. And because the One who created us is God, we have infinite value and we are loved.

Dr. Zoe, a licensed psychotherapist and regular contributor at Grit and Grace Life, answers the question: “What do I do when we have been dating forever and he still hasn’t proposed?” This is a tough situation to be in. You love him and you can envision forever with him! But it’s been months … or years … and he has yet to get down on one knee and ask the big question. Maybe you’ve already hinted around at your desire to be married, or even approached him about it directly, to no avail. This situation will place you at a crossroads.

Finding Purpose in the Simple Moments (video)

She uses the phrase, “Love the one in front of you” as a guiding principle in searching for her daily purpose. Here, Jodi lists all the ways you, too, can meet the needs of those around you.
