All things seem possible in May

May is a wonderful month.  It is where Alberta finally feels like Spring.  It is where soccer season revs up into full gear.  It is where my son and I get a year older.  (Okay, maybe not all the things are wonderful.)  However it is definitely a wonderful time to give away Write With Me's first prize.

I am pleased to announce that Heidi is the winner of the Holley Gerth book titled, You Are Already Amazing.

I am very excited to pass this book on and pray it is a blessing to you Heidi and may you discover who you truly are and who God created you to be.



For anyone else who wants a copy of the book, it is available at many bookstores now.  If you are interested in please feel free to follow these links.  These are placed for your convenience and I do not receive any benefits from placing them.

Before I conclude for today I want to wish my son a great day. Today he turns 15.  Happy Birthday Buddy!

Book Review - You Are Already Amazing by Holley Gerth

As if the title isn't enough to make you feel better ... this book delivers what it promises.  If you only buy one non-fiction book in 2012, this needs to be it!

You're Already Amazing, Holley Gerth, 978-0-8007-2060-5
Psst . . . pull up a chair and I'll tell you a secret. You'd better lean in close for this one.  Ready?
You don't have to do more, be more, have more.
I'm sure there are security alarms going off somewhere. You should probably hide this book when your in-laws come over.
But it's true.
It's the kind of true that will change your life, set you free, and make you wake up smiling for the first time in a long time. I know because that's what it did for me. . . .
So watch out, sister. If you keep reading you just might be next.

With this heart-to-heart message, Holley Gerth invites you to embrace one very important truth--that you truly are already amazing. Like a trusted friend, Holley gently shows you how to forget the lies and expectations the world feeds you and instead believe that God loves you and has bigger plans for your life than you've even imagined.

I had to read this book much slower than I usually read review books. It was loaded with nuggets of truth my soul needed to hear.  Things like ... "As I did, it seemed God whispered to my soul, "You think you have to take what's broken and make it perfect in order to be used by me.  But I think in a completely different way.  I took what was perfect, my Son, and made him broken so that you could be whole. And because you belong to him, your brokenness can bring healing to others too."

Holley writes in a very easy, smooth manner to reach out to your heart and plant truths that can be life changing.  I believe
