Synopsis

Bethany is a successful professional woman who seems to have it all together. She has created a life that works for her by keeping busy, being knowledgeable, doing her job with perfection, and having high expectations for herself and others. Bethany lives her life wearing masks – and not allowing people to see or know the ‘real’ Bethany in order to prevent her from getting hurt. Although this way of being had previously served her, she got to a place where it no longer worked for her. Her realization of this led her through a journey of self-discovery. This book is her journey.

Bethany meets a gentleman who introduces concepts that totally rock her world! She starts the process of living in the question, by asking herself hard questions and pushing through until the answers are revealed. Based on what she is learning, Bethany thinks back through her life experiences and re-evaluates everything that she knows to be true. During this process, she takes a risk with love and is disappointed once again. She chooses to keep moving forward beyond the pain and working through the process based on her new world view. Throughout this process Bethany dialogues with God regularly and He speaks back to her, not always telling her what she wants to hear, but rather what she needs to hear. Bethany hits rock bottom and decides to stop living life on her own strength and to start living life through God’s strength.

Bethany starts the healing journey following Gods’ lead. He reveals to her the truth of His word and what it truly means to walk in faith. Bethany continues to have revelation after revelation of what in her life is keeping her stuck and how she can shift her thinking to align with the truth of God’s word, rather than the ever-changing ‘truth’ of her feelings. Bethany learns to be content with ‘what is’ rather than being continually disappointed by what isn’t. She experiences the freedom of forgiveness as being a gift to herself. She discovers the greatness of who she truly is and learns how to stand in her true power. She discovers how to create healthy boundaries and behaviors that will enhance her relationship with herself and with others. Most importantly, she learns how to love herself.
