a major shout-out to the lovely and grace-filled Jami Amerine Sacred Ground, Sticky Floors for the release of her third book, #WellGirl Once again, she crafted a game-changer and I encourage any and all of you to read it. Here are my thoughts on Well, Girl:
Here’s the thing. Wellness will always be an inside out journey. Meaning, we need to love who we are at the core (as is) if we are ever going to live a wholehearted and healthy life. Full stop. And who we are is a beloved and esteemed child of God. Nothing changes God’s adoring for us. If only we could love on ourselves with the same fervor and grace.
Jami has a beautiful way of encouraging us forward. She gracefully reaches into the tender areas inside us where we grapple with believing we are enough. Where we doubt that who we are in Christ is worthy and beautiful. Here she reminds us that we were created in God’s image, and when God looked over all he had made, he saw that it was very good! When we are able to look in the mirror and believe this to be true, then we can experience true freedom. Freedom to love ourselves 'exactly as we are.'
This book is stock full of goodness, encouragement, and lighthearted wit, so grab a copy today. You'll be grateful you did.
