♥ ♥ ♥ 10 days to Valentine's Day! ♥ ♥ ♥
It often concerns me how hard women can be on themselves - the poor self care, the heavy workloads, the never ending self criticism. (I confess this is me sometimes.)
Well ...
... this book may be the cure.
I just finished reading You're Already Amazing by Holley Gerth.
It's like a hug, a great cup of coffee and the best encouragement you've ever had all rolled into one.
Holley walks you through a number of simple exercises to discover your unique design and, in doing so, helps you toss a load of lies and wrong expectations off of your back. Each page offers an insight, a bit of wisdom or an encouragement.
I walked away from it with a renewed appreciation for who God created me to be and an excitement for my life's journey. I also saw more clearly the dangers of the comparison trap.
Holley blogs at HollyGerth.com and has a new book coming out soon called You're Made for a God-Sized Dream. I can't wait to read it too!
Well, a great book just hollers out for a contest, so please leave as a comment to this post "something about yourself." It can be as simple as "I'm an introvert" or as full out as sharing your dreams and how you plan to walk them out. On February 18th, I'll pick a random number and the commenter in that spot will win a copy of You're Already Amazing (if they already have a copy, they can pick a book from the Marriage Book Library).
The quote today is so cool. It's from Holley's book. I love it because it is such a load remover. It's God speaking to you.
Love all. Please One.
Be who I've created you to be.
You are enough because I am enough in you.

The Lord has used us to buy land for a young married retreat center! We are excited to see how God dreams become to be. Obedience and full submission of fears to Him is the only way. I am a sinner and this has not been easy but worth it.

Yup…I can easily be one of those introverts….and sometimes really wish I wasn’t!
Thanks for the opportunity…sounds like a winner of a book!

I am beautiful. Not trying to be vain – but this is something that my husband tells me on a regular basis – and I am trying to see myself through his eyes. Not what I see when I look in the mirror.
Comment by Yvette Patten — February 4, 2013 @ 5:22 am
It is so important to know who you are In Christ!
This is how I know…
My husband and I have been married for 12 years and regardless of how positive I am his glass is always 1/2 full…
Well, it WAS!
Within the past month, I have seen a 180 degree turn from my husband. This change in attitude was a product of simply his realization that He is a child of God and that because of this, God wants to bless him at every opportunity!
This new realization has given me a new husband!
Thank you for listening and praise God for his ability to do much more than we can imagine or think of!
In Faith Always,
Kandy

Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
v32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.”
Amazing scripture if you are wondering if you can work on your marriage alone – if your spouse have given up, but you haven’t!!

Oh gosh this is so hard…..we moms and wives are so many things to so many people. I loved reading what all the women wrote.
My dreams would be to write a book about living with rheumatoid arthritis and also to run a 5K.
For starters I have been married for 16 years, mom of 2 girls who I think are AMAZING!! I love God and am trying to be who he wants me to be. Getting up and dusting myself off when I fall short. I LOVE music and am secretly addicted to taking Zumba classes. I also set a goal at the beginning of the year to be the pursuer in my husband and My sex life so that he feels loved and valued in the bedroom…..so far? Two thumbs up!
Comment by Christy — February 4, 2013 @ 1:44 pm
I am created by the great I am and slowly trying ‘absorb’/be consumed by the love He has for me…to then share His love to the world I live in. I do find being a “grown-up” hard though! The many roles I do I am trying to not let them define or confine me…I am trying to nurture a Mary not Martha spirit too! So glad I am trying all these things with His Holy Spirit to help me, am blessed with a wonderful husband of nearly 10 years & I know I am richly blessed with 2 girlies, my family & friends.
I also love the Generous Wife daily email-its inspired me muchly even on the sex-life front!

I am a mother of three children (ages 18 , 13 & 11) married to a wonderful man for 19 years.
We met because I purchased a fluoresce light tube from him and the story goes on…. I was wined and dined for the next several weeks – with fresh bouquet of flowers sent to me weekly for a year. Yes, it was great ! What woman wouldn’t love to receive flowers that often…..? I loved it ! Time passed & I moved out of state for a while – but one day I telephoned my husband and invited him to come see me. He did ! We began to date more regularly and yes…. fell in love ! I was not the healthiest of persons… I was suffering from a closed head injury & often had seizures. Really, I was more than a hand-ful – like they say. Actually 26 years have passed since having had it – but, I do still continue from having seizures every few months. I feel my God has blessed me with life & I want to be able to give my love back to others in what ever way God wants……
I am writing to you to share my story because I truly do believe God placed my husband and I together – he is my BEST FRIEND and my forever husband. GOD IS GOOD — ALL THE TIME
Comment by Julie — February 4, 2013 @ 2:09 pm
I downloaded and am almost done reading Love Does. FABULOUS! Was reading while on a vayk with my hubby. While going thru customs I noticed the book in the luggage of a woman near us. I commented on it. Her reply, “I’d love to live like him.” Thank you for the recommendation and your daily words of encouragement to be the best for our husbands. Know that the Lord is using you to speak into my life, even if for no other, then I trust that He loves me enough that He would use you for such a time as this. Thank you for being used.

I love the book’s concept and that beautiful cover! Looks marvelous.
As for my unique design, here’s something the blogiverse doesn’t know about me: I’ve written songs. I secretly would love to let these ditties see the light of day. I wonder when Nashville will call.
(And to Teresa, write the novel. Just set aside a short time each day and put words on the page until you write The End. Then figure out where to go from there.)
Comment by J (Hot, Holy & Humorous) — February 4, 2013 @ 4:11 pm
I got to teach my little boy the song and motions to “I’m in the Lord’s Army”. I remember teaching/doing this song with many other little boys and girls over the years of my helping at MOPS and other groups. I always thought it’d be nice to be able to sing it with my own children one day. =)

I have learned so much about myself this year, and have had to receive God’s plan for me and our family even when it seemed unbearable. I experienced severe clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder in the midst of caring for my infant daughter and 4 year old son. My husband got laid off from his job of 9 years as a coach. Yet He has carried us through this hard season. Through counseling I have learned how to identify the Distorted Thought and the Lie behind it, and replace it with a Rational Response. I have come through renewal and recovery, and I know this is all that the glory of God might be revealed in my life. I have a new appreciation for life, for my role as a wife and mom, and my joy has returned. And my husband started a new job yesterday! Praise HIM!

I am a wife to a wonderful husband. I just found your blog and intend to start being more generous to him! I tend to be a worrier and it gets the best of me from time to time, but I’m learning more and more to just trust God.
Philippians 4:6-7. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I’m definitely an introvert, and all too often I fall into the comparison trap.
Comment by Katie R-C — February 6, 2013 @ 2:50 pm
I actually am an introvert.. I used to be ashamed of that and always admired my extroverted friends for their love of being around people, thinking my desire for quiet evenings alone meant something was wrong with me. But I’ve learned that that’s a lie! Knowing that, and learning my strengths as an introvert actually makes me happier in social situations AND when I’m on my own.. there’s no longer shame in either situation! Anyway, this book looks really interesting. I’ll have to check it out even if I don’t end up winning. Thanks for the giveaway!

I suffer from Lyme disease and am severely physically limited from what I used to be. I struggle all the time with feeling guilty for not doing what I used to do, including being active with my 3 girls, being active with my husband, and doing things like housework and the things I have a passion for, like cooking.baking, gardening, exercise, and more. It has been the hardest two years of my life and I’m nowhere near the end of this trial.

I teach a teen girls class on Wednesday nights at my church. This book seems like it’d be a lot of help to me with my issues and in turn could help me help them with things they’re struggling with.

I’ve been obsessed with “self-improvement” for years and have finally realized that it all boils down to loving myself exactly as I am.

I’m adjusting to life away from my family, near my husband’s.
I would love to give this book to my mother-in-law; she does so much for everyone, really pouring her life out. I would love to tell her “You’re Amazing!”

Sounds like a great book! I think we all need to be reminded of how amazing we are.

Wish I had my husband by my side! I read so many of the post and it makes me wish and hope even more that God will hear the cry of my heart and change my husband so we can be together and raise our two little children together.

I feel like I’m not “good enough” a lot. Gotta get over that!
