 Author: Lisa J. Goins Genre: Christian Living/Self-Help When the real woman you want to be is on the other side of fear. How do you step out of a life that’s comfortable and into the life God intended for you to live? Thee sort of life that’s full of honest relationships, heart-felt conversations, and renewed purpose? You have to find the courage to be uncomfortable. You realize it’s not all about you, it’s about others, and you decide to show up for your life, not just for yourself, for them. And you don’t show up as the edited version, the one taken in portrait mode with a forced smile and reality blurred in the background. You show up like an unfiltered pic on Instagram, no face tuning allowed! And here is the good news: it’s okay to show up imperfect. Let’s expose our flaws together and admit we eat the brownie batter straight from the bowl! It’s time to bring every battered, broken, and insecure piece of our lives out of hiding from behind the two words that have been holding us back: I’m fine.
