Good Morning Elevate Families, 

We are in the second week of our Elevate I Am Second series. This week’s video concerns Kirsten Haglund and her internal struggle about being enough. Kirsten talks about how she enjoyed and came to love competitive dance. But once she started to look around and see how others were accomplishing their goals and how they looked, she began to ask questions like, what do I need to be like them? What do I need to do to be better at dance? Through those questions, she developed this internal struggle with food that led her to anorexia. She convinced herself she was not good enough and had to go to extreme lengths to accomplish her goals. Later in life, she came to know the hope and Love of God through the Scripture and the witness of a friend who was just present.  

Here is the link to the video for this week.
