Q&A with Lauren Rainey Tenney
How would you describe yourself in three sentences?
I’m a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister and most importantly a daughter of the King. I strive to elevate God in the way I live, speak and love people. I never do it perfectly but at 42 years old, this is my goal ❤️
What got you started on your journey of setting healthy boundaries and wanting to share that journey with others?
My life was tumultuous and confusing. I loved the Lord but kept finding myself depressed, hurt, and frustrated that things weren’t going the way I had dreamed they would and that dream was to be peaceful, happy and full of joy. I knew I was missing something very obvious and so I set out to find it. Enter boundaries and my life changed.
What have you found to be difficult in setting boundaries? What do you find encouraging?
It’s difficult to set boundaries with people who have no idea what they are and that live a life of blaming others for everything. The encouraging thing about this is, when you are rooted in your healthy boundaries, you can be around these people and not be trampled over. AND when they see you living solidly in your boundaries it can give them permission to do a little digging and figure out what’s missing in their life. They can ask (either audibly or just internally); “Why are YOU so confident and joyful?” And your life choices can show them the answer.
What would be your biggest piece of advice for someone seeking to create their own boundaries?
Baby step your way into boundaries. If you aren’t used to it, don’t go full boar! Take one person that you love and that loves you and start with them.
