Are you a dreamer?

I’m not the only one!

You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream Book Review

Bestselling author, blogger, {in}courage writer, Holley Gerth has done it again with her amazing book, You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream. I just love her friendly writing style. It’s like we’re just hanging out together, chatting over a warm cuppa.

This lovely book is full of Scripture, prayer, and downloadable printables for you to work through your dream obstructions.

This book is a pep rally for your Dream.

My life has been travelling on this theme of Dreams this year. I think God is working and moving in many lives simultaneously about Dreams and how we are all so interrelated and connected to one another in the Body of Christ.

So, are you wondering about the title of this post? Holley cited a study about a societal shift from Alpha Women (the popular leaders) to Gamma Women (the wind beneath the wings-types). She thinks God-sized dreamers are Gamma Women. I do too. And I love the way she stated it! I had such a similar thought a few weeks ago. God confirmed my thought with that paragraph in the book! Amazing…

But the waiting for these dreams to come to fruition! ugh, to trust God with the timing and everything that could stand in the way!

Holley addresses the waiting and any other obstacle we or the enemy can throw in the path to our Dreams. There are no excuses!

This. Brilliant!

Perhaps our idea of waiting is too limited. We think we have to be still and do nothing at all. But what if waiting is more about the attitude of our hearts? We move forward with a sense of expectation and are open at any moment to God redirecting us.

Do you experience fear? Don’t we all…Fear holds me back from my Dreams and I could do so much more if it weren’t for fear strangling me.

I love Holley’s fear analogy. Fear is like a herd of little yippy Chihuahua dogs!

[F]ear always think it’s the master. Sometimes it convinces you of the same. But it’s not true.

Holley admonishes us to put that fear on a leash and take back your Dream! She goes down the list of everything that holds us back to fulfilling our Dreams.

I especially like the chapter on “Disclaimers.” When you get run-down and you don’t like your dream anymore. It doesn’t mean it’s time to quit!

And, Holley reminds us to take care of ourselves. Aren’t we always our last priority – after kids, husbands, jobs, homeschooling, housework…then we don’t even have time or energy left over to care for our own needs! But we have needs, and dreams too! And they’re worth it. Risk it. Tread through the fear. Don’t regret doing nothing.

And the last chapter contains stories of God-Sized Dreams! Proof that others have traveled this journey and come out on the other side! Success stories of charities, businesses, ministries, creativity, and others. They could be your story.

What’s your God-Sized Dream?

Have you read You’re Already Amazing? Cuz you are!
