Heather Holleman

I have been taught that we each have a specific calling or purpose. So I find myself running around being frustrated and unfulfilled wondering if I am carrying out God's plan.

I loved the example Ms. Holleman gave us of the old I Love Lucy show. When it came close to the time for pregnant Lucy to go to the hospital, Ricky, Fred and Ethel all practiced their plan of action several times. But when the actual day came, they each got so nervous, nothing went as planned and they left Lucy behind. They forgot the most important person.

I related to this scenario. I get caught up in preparing, planning and worrying if I am carrying out The Plan. I forget what and who I am doing it for and leave out Jesus. So I call out Jesus, where are you?

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart? Jer. 1:5a
Ps. 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
We serve an awesome God who knows us personally.

Heather used scripture to substantiate any of her points. This validates that they are not just her thoughts or ideas, but they are all scriptural.

She quotes one of my favorite Christian heroines, Holocaust survivor, Corrie Ten Boom “Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.”

I learned so much from Heather's book and the scriptures she chose. I would recommend this book to anyone who may need to stop spinning their wheels striving and planning, as I was doing. As Heather said “ We were chosen for a Person, not a plan.”

I received this book from Moody Publishers through Net Galleys. The opinion expressed in this review are completely my own.… (plus d'informations)
