Read this book and be inspired to stop second-guessing whether your God-sized dream can ever come true. It can. It absolutely can.

To Jesus, my rescuer:
These words are for your glory.
And to everyone else brave enough to say yes to God
You can lose your rhinestones, and it can feel like someone just lifted a millstone thats been breaking your neck.
Yeah lose a rhinestone or two and you lose the rock thats been weighing you down.
Kristen Welch turns a corner in her life and finds her face right up against what she never expected: Was Jesus an accessory to her life? Or the only thing necessary?
This is a story of one woman, one mom, who decided to simply say yes to doing the next thing in front of her and discovered the startling truth:
Small Yeses to the Next Thing translate to Huge Yeses and New Things in the Kingdom of God.
Changing the world started with changing her words. Instead of saying, No, I could never do that she started saying, Yes, God could even do that through even me.
It wasnt that she thought she was a woman who could really do something big but that she really believed God could do anything big with anyone willing.
Kristen and I have sat together several times. Ive leaned forward to hear the heartbeat of Jesus in her quiet words. Ive heard the tremble in her voice. Ive listened to her honest laugh, her understated, brazen vulnerability. Ive watched her face tell this story the story of deciding that she didnt want her life to be about just getting by, just getting through. Thats the thing: they say that lifes just about putting one step in front of the other. But the real truth is, sometimes there is no way through anymore, no more just taking one step in front of the other. Sometimes the only way through is by taking wild leaps of faith.
Ive been captivated by just that in Kristens life. Theres nothing like it to witness the raw beauty of a woman who really lives into the fullness of wild faith. There is no really living without really saying yes. Without really taking one step that is actually a leap.
There comes a moment in every womans life when something she was tightly holding on to just slips from her hands. Sometimes its a dream. Sometimes its a place... a person... a purpose. Sometimes its the life you always thought youd be living.
And you find yourself standing in front of the mirror, realizing that the faith youve been pulling on every day doesnt seem to be enough.
What happens when you look yourself right in the eye and realize, Im not living like just Jesus is enough for me.
What happens when you realize that, really? You actually want a lot more than just Jesus.
Thats the moment when the rhinestone falls, clatters, across the floor.
Thats the moment you find yourself invited into endless diamond fields of real faith.
