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!

Today, I have the joy of joining @ruthie_gray_author on her podcast, Sandwich Season Sanity, for a conversation straight from the heart.
We talked all about the big (and sometimes bumpy) transitions that come with midlife—marriage, motherhood, letting go, and rediscovering purpose when the nest feels a little too quiet.
✅ I shared why I believe the years between 50 and 70 can be our most fruitful—and what often holds us back.
✅ We talked honestly about fear, embracing new things (hello, technology!), and how God uses every thread of our story—yes, even the hard ones—for a purpose.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What’s next for me?” or felt unsure of your value after a season of caregiving or transition, I hope this conversation encourages you to dream again and move forward with God-given confidence.
We even walk through some practical questions to help you uncover your own next steps—because life isn’t over. In so many ways, it’s just getting good. 💙

I just found my grandmother’s charm bracelet tucked away in a drawer — with my name Laura Anne, a tiny mustard seed, and a cross. 🧡
There are precious few people left who call me Laura Anne — and when they do, it always takes me back to my childhood. That was a long time ago now! 🤦♀️
Finding this little treasure today reminded me of the legacy of faith I come from — and the God who’s been faithful through every generation.
Now that I’m in the “legacy years” myself, I feel the beautiful responsibility - more than ever - to carry that faith forward in my own family.
I’ll keep Grandma’s bracelet close (and especially that mustard seed!) as Pat and I step into a new season of faith and trust that’s just beginning to unfold. Stay tuned! 🙏🙏
A huge thank you to all of you who filled out my survey for women over 60. The response was incredible, and I’ve learned so much from your honesty. We are certainly not all the same, but some strong common threads emerged - shared experiences, challenges, and hopes. I’ll be sharing more about that soon. 😘
In the meantime, congratulations to Cindy M., the winner of the $50 Target gift card!
Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to share your stories and experiences with me. 🧡
