still BECOMING
I am not dieting; I am healing.
I am STILL BECOMING the woman
He created me to be.
Tired of the dieting roller coaster? After years of losing weight and gaining it all back, have the empty promises made by the dieting industry left you frustrated?
Laura Acuña understands. She lived the cycle of shame and defeat for almost 50 years … until the Lord set her free.
still Becoming is a 31-day devotional journal that takes you on a sacred journey where you’ll discover true freedom, and that healing, and peace have nothing to do with a number on the scale.
Join Laura and learn to re-think your struggles with disordered eating, body image, and dieting through the lens of self-compassion, and God’s grace.


What Others Are Saying...
Planning a women’s retreat with Laura Acuña is a blessing that will stay with me for years to come. Aside from her topic that was perfect for our group and her generosity in planning our retreat, it was the fellowship that we shared that made the greatest impact. Laura’s love for the Lord is evident in all that she says and does. Her knowledge of scripture showed me how passionate she is about her calling and her warm, loving personality made me want to be her friend. Her story is one that every woman can relate to. All of Laura’s qualities translated into an extraordinary event that made every woman feel loved.

From the first time I heard Laura speak at our church’s women’s retreat, I was drawn in by her vulnerability and her passion for sharing God’s truth. She is authentic and her story is relevant and relatable. Laura went above and beyond to connect with her audience, even sacrificing her breaks between sessions to patiently listen as other women poured out their hearts and shared their own stories. Since then, I have had the privilege of participating in many of Laura’s women’s ministry events, and every time I leave feeling encouraged to make positive changes and move into a closer relationship with Jesus. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for an impactful, inspiring message deeply rooted in God’s Word.

The first time I heard Laura communicate, my exact response was ‘Wow’! Laura’s teaching style is passionate, relatable, and hope-filled. She radiates warmth, kindness and a genuine interest in those around her — on and off the platform. Her amazing story of transformation, coupled with her solid biblical teaching, will leave you also saying “wow!” If you’re looking for a dynamic communicator, Laura has my highest recommendation!

Laura lovingly connects with her audience, as she weaves biblical applications through her life story. Thank you, Laura, for your transparency on hard issues that offers permission for those who need enhanced growth opportunities from the Word!

Life Update 🧡
I haven’t been on here as much lately - and it’s for some truly amazing reasons. God has been answering long-prayed prayers in His perfect timing, and I’m feeling deeply grateful.
After consistently praying for years, “Lord, we trust You have the perfect house and location for us when it’s time to leave our home of 33 years,” He has kindly and clearly answered.
In just two weeks, we’ll be relocating to Gettysburg, PA! And believe it or not, we will actually be living 10-15 minutes closer to our Maryland sons, DIL, granddaughter and Pat’s dad. Yay!
Our heads are spinning since this has all transpired since Father’s Day!
At the same time, I’ve been finishing up a new book proposal and writing the first chapters. This is another long-awaited answer to prayer, as I begin shaping all the thoughts, notes, and experiences He’s been stirring in me for quite some time. I can’t wait to share!
Starting soon, I’ll be writing from our new home and launching a fresh space on Substack - a place to share what God’s still teaching me in this ever-unfolding journey.
Here’s what I know:
🙌 God is kind.
🙌 His blessings extend far beyond what the world calls “prime time.”
🙌 And if we just keep taking one step and then the next… we’ll end up exactly where He wants us to be.
More soon - and thank you for being part of the journey. Love to all!!! 😘

This backyard has been my sanctuary — my “outside office” — for many years. A quiet place where I’ve prayed, written, and met with God.
I’ve been wondering how many more days I’ll get to enjoy this space. Only He knows.
We’re trusting Him as we wait for our home to sell and prepare for what’s next. Would you pray with us? That the right family finds this home and loves it as we have.
So many memories here — little boys laughing, playing, and rolling down the hill… and now, our granddaughter doing the same.
Are you in a season of waiting or stepping into something new? How are you trusting Him right now?🌺
