Living with Abandon (Not Abandonment)

“Freedom is found when you stop gripping and start trusting.”

Are you living with abandon or with abandonment? That’s the question we’re asking this week on Girl Talk.

We’ve all had those moments that leave us feeling rejected, forgotten, or just plain not enough. Maybe it was a relationship that ended, a job that fell apart, or a season when life didn’t turn out the way you hoped. It’s easy to let that pain convince us that we’re on our own.

But here’s the truth: God never walks away. He doesn’t change His mind about you. And when we really start to know who He is—not just know about Him—it changes everything.

Join Carol, Kelly, and Tricia as they share their own stories of hurt, healing, and freedom. Together, you’ll be reminded that living with abandon means trusting the One who never abandons you.

3 Takeaways

1. God is not a bigger, better version of man. He’s holy, unchanging, and completely faithful.
2. Don’t let your feelings drive the train. God’s truth steadies what emotions try to derail.
3. Freedom starts where fear stops. You can release your grip when you remember who’s holding you.

Put It To Practice:

This week, spend time getting to know who God really is—not through your past hurts, but through His Word. Read Psalm 139 and write down three truths about His character. Then thank Him for staying when others didn’t.
