How to Find God in the Middle of Devastation

dance2

This is a heavy question … have ever lost a family member or friend to suicide?

I have.

There’s really no words to express the depth of heartache that goes with this type of grief.

My friend Susan Mead knows this pain all to well. She lost her sister to suicide. While that could have easily paralyzed her life, Susan found God’s grace in the middle of her devastation. She wrote about this in her incredible book Dance with Jesus, From Grief to Grace.

No matter where we are in life, grief hits us from every direction. Whether it’s a bad report from the doctor, a broken relationship, a job loss, a sick child or simply being disappointed in ourselves. Grief can present itself in our everyday lives.

You might question is it really possible to experience the joy of moving from broken to blessed or from grief to grace? Find out the truth through Susan’s powerful words in her beautifully written book Dance with Jesus, From Grief to Grace!

Be sure to click here and check out Susan’s blog today! She is giving away a signed copy of my book, Worthy of a Miracle.

What To Do When You Don’t Achieve Your Goal

I’m disappointed to tell you that I will not be running the half marathon in two weeks. 🙁 I’ve been sick for the last few weeks and my body is telling me it is not a wise idea to do the event.

Even though I’ve questioned God why this happened, I do believe there are so many lessons to learn. I am so grateful for all that I’ve accomplished up to this point in my goal to run 13.1 miles!

Yesterday I decided after talking with my book coach Lee McCracken (Author of A Prayer and a Pink Pedicure) that on Nov. 8, I will celebrate the day with my family by going to the mountains and enjoying the outdoors. I will remain thankful and not focus on what I cannot do but on what I CAN DO!

I want to hear where you are with your goals. Are struggling in any area or are you right on track? Do you need redirect yourself or adjust your goal? Leave me a comment below.

Today I am GIVING AWAY a copy of my book on my friend Nicki Koziarz’s blog. Click here to enter to WIN!

It’s Truly a Miracle!

What were you doing six years ago today?

I remember it all too well. Six years ago is when this miracle journey began.

I am so AMAZED & GRATEFUL that I have you, this blog community, to love, encourage and inspire one another. When I was diagnosed with cancer I prayed to have more time on earth to share the love of Christ with others and that is what I get to do here!

Today I want us to share our gratitude to God for all the miracles in our life in this very moment!

I am grateful that I get to make this video and talk with you, that I’m training for a half marathon, for my health, that I can breathe on my own without assistance from a machine and most of all the Gift of Life!

Everyone who comments will be entered to Win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller. Lets praise God and share what we are grateful for today!

Redefining Your Goal

I’m really embarrassed to show you the training video clip at the end … but I think it’s important to let you see me struggling because achieving our goals is not always pretty.

Today’s coaching tip is about redefining our goals.

A few weeks ago we set our goals. My goal is to run a half marathon on Nov. 8, just two days before my book release! But in the back of my mind I had another goal that was kind of blurry. It was to run the half marathon at a certain pace … a pace that is way to fast for me. I’m a pretty SLOW runner and the goal is unrealistic. Honestly, most people walk faster than I run!

So every time I go out for a run I keep putting extra pressure on myself because I’m comparing myself to whether or not I can achieve a faster pace. It’s really silly because my goal is to complete the half marathon period. It doesn’t matter how fast I run it. Just like selling my book, it does not matter how many books are sold, the only thing that matters is that I was obedient to what God called me to do, which was to write the book.

Today I want to encourage you to take a little time and really think about your goal. Do you need to redefine it?

Or are you someone who set a goal but then got off track and said maybe I’ll start later? 

What is God speaking to your heart today about your goals? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN!

This months give away is this awesome book by Suzanne Eller, The Mended Heart.

I Was So Nervous!

When have you been nervous lately? What are you doing to stretch yourself to grow and learn?

If we stay in our comfort zone and don’t allow ourselves to get antsy or uncomfortable at times we will remain stuck in our lives and not grow.

Because of putting myself “out there” in a recent public speaking class, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to coach you in this area.

Let me know where you are stretching yourself so that you can grow? Or what is that one thing you need to do to get outside your comfort zone? As your coach I want to challenge you to dig deep and explore what it will be like to put yourself out there. Imagine how awesome you will feel after facing your fears and investing in yourself!

Journal with God: Write a note to God in your journal. Tell Him what you are most afraid of when you start to imagine yourself stepping outside your comfort zone. Ask Him to show you where you might need to stretch yourself so that you can grow into all He has created you to be.
