From Planting seeds in unknown conditions
To watching it bloom to its fullest potential
From planting to weathering unknown storms and conditions, the process of a flower blooming can be a tedious one. We all face many obstacles throughout our lives, causing us to question our past, worry about our present, and be anxious about our future.
In the book of Matthew, Jesus teaches on our worries and the burdens of life and references God’s care for the lilies of the field. Matthew 6:30 reads, “And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.” Keonna Shaw knows firsthand about the greatness of God’s care. She has been graced with resilience throughout her life’s journey and is confident that God has called her to be an encourager to those struggling with blooming where God has planted them.
Blooming In Confidence was birthed from Keonna’s desire to nurture the growth of others as they seek purpose in who God has created them to be.
She understands that as you build a relationship with Christ, you will have to break through to renewed mindsets, overcome insecurities, and move from brokenness to restoration.
Growth can be a painful process and can make you wonder if you have the strength to endure those growing pains. The Bible tells us that God’s grace is sufficient, so we know for a fact that God’s Grace is there – it is up to us to bloom in that Grace.
As the oldest of nine siblings, Keonna has always been a nurturer and is no stranger to leading by example. She was raised in a home with her mother and bonus father, but as she matured, she realized she had a void from the absence of her biological father.
While her mother was there, she struggled with providing Keonna with the love, affection, and praise she desperately desired. Those voids planted seeds of self-doubt, abandonment, insecurity, and a belief that she was unworthy of God’s best for her life.
As we seek to fill voids, we tend to turn to everything in the world before we realize nothing except the power and love of Jesus Christ can fulfill us. Blooming In Confidence is anchored on Matthew 6:33, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”
Keonna Shaw currently resides in Dallas, Texas. She is a Christian blogger, public speaker, and mentor, but her most rewarding roles are as a wife and mother to two miracle sons and her sweet angel Zoey, who is resting in heaven. For the past ten years, Keonna has been mentoring girls as young as 11 years old and women up to 40.
