Pre-order NOW -- AMAZON  BARNES AND NOBLE Sometimes a single word or phrase has the power to change the course of our lives, and Chickening IN is that word for me.  A silly twist on a common idiom spoken by my six-year-old daughter that propelled me to stop living in fear and to start living in faith.  Like the flip of a switch, Chickening IN created an epiphany or "God Moment."   Where there was hopelessness, fear, and doubt...now there is newfound hope, courage, and strength.   But Chickening IN is not just for me...It's for you too because fear is an emotion experienced by everyone. We live in an unpredictable and uncontrollable world where things change often, and fear can plant itself deeply within our hearts.  Chickening IN is a practical approach to defeating the fear and doubt that is preventing us from becoming brave, bold women of God.   Do you long to overcome the fear and doubt that is sabotaging the life God has for you?  Are you ready to grow in courage and put feet to your faith? You've come to the right place!  I'd like to invite you to join me on a transformation journey to stop chickening out and start Chickening IN.  By accepting my invitation you will embark on the land of transformation.  A place where fear-filled lives can be reconstructed into courageous faith-filled lives.  Chickening IN will require hard work and honest assessment, but I will lead you to step by step through the 8 pillars of Transformation that have changed my life and that can change your life too! The 8 Pillars of Transformation

Facing Fear Stepping-up to the Plate of your Life Taking Calculated Risks Traveling Unknown Roads Embracing your Uniqueness  Pursuing your Dreams Doing it Afraid Faith the Difference Maker 

"God certainly has a sense of humor because I struggle with fear daily, and it was my 6-year-old daughter who gave me this phrase...a new twist on an old idiom.  God was also gracious because he knew I had been struggling with a VERY BIG, life-changing decision that I had attempted to make multiple times.  The kind of decision that gives your stomach butterflies; both excitement and anxiety at the same time. The kind of decision that requires a leap of faith into unknown territory.  I was sitting at Panera Bread with my daughter and her tutor. I was explaining to the tutor that I was afraid of making this life-changing decision and with a concerned tone I said, "I chickened out again!"  We both giggled, knowing life decisions are difficult.  From across the table, a sudden, confident, matter of fact voice came from my daughter and said, "Chicken IN mom, just Chicken IN!"

Are you in need of a transformation? Do you desire to be a brave, bold woman of God? Chickening IN will equip you to make the U-turn from living in fear and doubt to living courageously by walking in faith and trusting God like never before!

About JJ:

"I am a woman who was overcome by her past.  I am a woman who has struggled to find my identity, value, and significance.  Anxiety was my secret lifestyle.  On the outside, I appeared to be a successful Christian wife and mom with a great business sales career, but on the inside, I silently battled worry, doubt, and significances.  My childhood was difficult.  My mother attempted marriage many times, but never found the forever spouse and that had a profound impact on identity and worth. An impact that I would have to break free from.

The inner battle to find meaning, purpose, and identity intensified as I got older.  The ideal life became my unobtainable goal, and that led to more anxiety as I fixated on controlling the uncontrollable.  Then my marriage...it has always been hard for me.  We both brought baggage, and the first 10 years of our marriage was deeply painful.  It would take years just to regain back my self-worth and self-esteem.  Only God could heal and restore my marriage.   

I wanted desperately to rid myself of this anxious, fearful lifestyle, but I knew no other life...it was familiar and even normal to me.  My inner world was massive, loud and lonely.  Jesus, my Savior, didn't give me instant healing, but He began to lead me on a journey to discover my true identity.  Uncovering one lie at at time and replacing it with truth...that has been the catalyst to reclaiming my life and overcoming my anxiety.    

Yes, it is true I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a writer, a bible student, a homeschool teacher, a business career woman, a group leader and a woman overcoming anxiety and fear...but when all is stripped away and I am alone with myself the only "who" I am that matters is the "who" I am that God says I am.  And God calls me His child.  I've know it for years, but it's taken walking on this long, steep, stormy road with Him to truly comprehend and digest how marvelous it is to be a child of God.

With Christ I am strong and brave.  With Christ I am no longer defined by my childhood, my marriage, my shortcomings, or who the world says I am.  I am simply loved.  It is His love for me that has given me the strength to walk forward, confront my anxiety head-on, face my fears and pursue the dreams God built into my DNA.  So while there are many details of life that describe me, they are not who I am...for who I am is summed up in six words:  A child of the Living God."
