you're aleady amazing

 i just finished  reviewing a book for Revell, a division of Baker Publishing group named

 "You're Already Amazing"

by Holly Gerth

&

i loved it!

holly is a life coach, a writer, the cofounder of (in)courage

& i could tell from the first page,

a woman with a heart to connect with women

& to you, her reader.

holly will take you on an easy to follow & very personal

and introspective guide to learning and understanding

how god uniquely created you

& then

how to best channel how he wired you

into living an intentional, purposeful life.

living a life that is unique because of who you are,

how you relate and respond to others, 

how you're motivated,

how you best do what you do,

and

how you most effectively love

& serve others.

i think as women

it's so easy for us to beat ourselves up emotionally because we never feel

we arrive at our "best"

we watch others, we read blogs & magazines,

we sign up to be committee chairs & team moms

we never say no when someone calls to ask us to volunteer

we pluck & tweeze & run on the treadmill

& eat things like flax seed and kale

all in an effort to be our "best me".

we strive to be great

& be great at so many things.

at the end of the day, 

many of us fall into bed 

exhausted & feeling that we didn't quite measure up

or that our to-do list

albeit full of good things

actually hindered us

from doing the best things
& the best things that are unique to us.

we feel that our time was misspent or not fully invested 

in the best of places.

"forcing yourself to live in a way that doesn't make sense for who you are 

will just lead to frustration & wasted energy."

sigh.

in You're Already Amazing,

holly shares wayne cordeiro's insight.

"85% of what we do, anyone can do.

10% could be done by someone else if we trained them.

5% is what only we can do.

making choices about that 5% became a life-changing revelation."

he then goes on to say,

brace yourself,

"your choice of what is most important will shape your soul.

we won't be accountable for how much we have done,

but for how much we have done of what He asked us to do".

can i get an amen?

holly will help guide you as you determine

what does the "best you" really look like

& how you can be her. 

how you are actually already her.

you'll look at your own strengths & skills

you'll evaluate how you best connect with others.

then once you put all those pieces together,

she'll help guide you as you determine

or capture

what God wants you to do with your life.

doesn't that sound freeing?!

holly, as she so sweetly does throughout the book

will remind you of truth...

"you are loved. you matter. 

you have so much to give to the world 

& the hearts in it"

"you're amazing because you're God's creation

& he lives in you. you're valuable because you belong to him.

you're worth investing in because he paid the ultimate price

for you"
