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!

“Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return without watering the ground. They cause the plants to sprout and grow, making seeds for the farmer and bread for the people. The same thing is true of the words I speak. They will not return to me empty. They make the things happen that I want to happen, and they succeed in doing what I send them to do.” Isaiah 55:10-11
Who can we believe these days?
Who can we trust to tell us what is true?
This morning, I’m recentering myself on the One who is truth - the only One I can trust when everything else feels loud and chaotic. I’m choosing to stand on His Word yet again, believing and affirming that what He has spoken, He will finish.
His hand is not off the wheel.
His plans and purposes will prevail.
Not for a political party or an ideology, but for a lost and hurting world full of people made in His image - people He deeply loves.
Every single person on this earth is a beloved child of God, whether they know it or not. As believers, we do know it - and we are responsible for what we know.
I couldn’t wait for the heaters to warm things up on my porch this morning - it didn’t too take long. This is where I’ll be parked today, chilling, writing and prepping for upcoming speaking engagements.
Last night Pat and I were watching the British show “Escape to the Country” and they call a porch like ours “The Conservatory.” Lol. Sounds fancy! 👑
It really is beautiful today, even though it is now sleeting. ❄️
My neighbors on both sides attract tons of bluebirds - I just counted more than 20 in one of their trees! They stop by my feeder in between, so I get to enjoy the benefits of their fancy feeders. Win! I always wanted to attract bluebirds to our yard in Damascus, but it was very rare to see one. I didn’t know they stayed for the winter!
So many of you are in the path of this storm. I’m especially thinking of my friends in the South who rarely experience snow and ice. Stay safe and warm. I am out here praying for you! ❤️
There are moments when you show up anyway - tired, unsure, not feeling particularly brave - and wonder if it even matters.
And then hindsight reveals, Oh… that’s what God was doing…❤️🙌❤️
