Imperfectly Perfect: Uncovering the Hidden Hand of God
"You spend all your life wrestling to remold the imperfections of life, reshaping and rebranding them at every turn, only to realize you are left spiritually and emotionally broken. So much of your life has been spent chasing a butterfly who cannot be caught - who should not be caught - because he is not meant to be caged. But this is also the moment in time, when in spite of all your failings and fallings, God breaks through! It’s the moment when you realize the life you have chased for so long is sitting right there in front of you. In the messiness of life, something is waiting there for you that is just perfect. God is there. When the chase is finally over, and the net is lowered to the ground, the butterfly lands on your shoulder.” - Ryan J. Bradley

So many lessons in this book, but one resonated with me so personally.
If you are going through a time of uncertainty, reading Imperfectly Perfect will help you live again through that time-of-the-unknown. Instead of waiting and worrying, you can find comfort in knowing God's hand is there for you, you are not alone. How can you possibly move on from tragedy, heart break, loss, or pending circumstances? This man LIVED with life's uncertainty for years, as many do. I've only lived with life's fragile uncertainty for a few months and I couldn't bear it.
I'd been praying and praying and praying, "God, please help me keep faith. Help me not wander from you in this time of uncertainty. Regardless of the situation's outcome, I don't want to lose my faith in you." Pastor Ryan helped me with that. Not through the this book because I am fortunate enough to know him as my Pastor. He sat with me. He listened to me. He prayed with me. He prayed FOR me. I was able to then start living again, instead of just surviving. I just needed someone to pray with me. Imperfectly Perfect is your prayer partner, too.
"The sweetness of surrender is found in trusting the hand of God more than the "cloak" we hold in our own. Then we will be free to reach for God's hand."
This is not permission to sit back and not be present in life because it's all sorted out for us, but to live life to the fullest knowing a hand is guiding you.
