How a 40-Day Juice Fast Trained Me to Write a Book

Posted on by

A few years ago in my quiet time I felt the Lord speaking to me and said I needed to do a 40 day juice fast. I had never fasted before in my life. I told God there was no way I could do it. It was too much. No food, just juice? This sounded crazy!

At the time He was speaking to my heart about writing a book and in preparation for this book I needed to honor what He was asking of me. Luke 16:10 came to mind “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”

Today I’m thrilled to share with you that I did write the book. I believe because of walking in obedience and being faithful with the small things (such as food) God taught me how to follow through so that I could complete such a large assignment … writing a book.

What is God asking you to give to Him? What little thing is He asking you to trust Him with? Leave a comment. I would love to pray for you. 

Journal with God: Write Luke 16:10 in your journal and share with God what little thing you will trust Him with today.

A Soul Longing For More

Do you have a passionate intimate relationship with God?

I wish I could answer this question with a confident and resounding Yes!

I would like to write to you proclaiming that my every breath is undeniably filled with God’s presence that saturates my entire being…. that my life is completely satisfied longing for nothing more when it comes to a relationship with our Creator.

However, I refuse to be a fake, so I choose to share my truth with you.

Many days my relationship with God can be the absolute opposite from satisfied!

I find myself struggling desperately to make it through and wonder why life has to be so hard.  I question why everyone else around me seems to have it all together with this “Christian thing”.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “When is God’s word going to actually come alive in my life?”  I know I have.

When I find my soul anxiously searching, longing for more, the only thing I know to do is fight!  I get ticked off and then I am determined to fight for what is true.  Undeniably the best weapons to fight with are….

READING, MEDIATING, PRAYING and SPEAKING the Word of God!

Proverbs 3:5 tells us to “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” 

It’s ok when we experience times of uncertainty and feel a sense of longing.  We can boldly and confidently move past what we think to be “true” by simply trusting His promises in this one simple verse.

Is your soul longing for more?  How can you start to fill this desire?

Put Your Hands Up

Posted on by

I have a beautiful 12-year-old daughter who looks as if she’s going on 19.  I don’t know what happened, but it’s like I went to sleep one night with a baby girl by my side and the very next morning I woke up to a young lady who is madly in love with Justin Bieber, obsessed with what to wear and could never have enough colors of nail polish.  Now all of a sudden I find myself in panic mode to make sure she knows “enough” about Jesus and that her identity is completely emerged in Christ and not in any way shape or form what others say about who she is.  In my typical control freak nature, I’ve tried to have conversations (more like manipulations) with her to clarify who she really is and what she really believes.

So just last week I said, “Meg who do you think healed me from cancer?” and with a dumb founded expression she rolled her eyes and said “duh Mom, Jesus!”  I have to admit I felt pretty stupid and yet a burst of relief all at the same time.  That’s when I realized again we do not have to push our beliefs on others, but to simply allow others to observe our lives and decide for themselves.

As a Women’s Christian Life Coach, I have many clients that have husbands or loved ones that are not followers of Christ and they struggle with holding their tongue and waiting patiently for God to move in their lives.  But what I’ve recently learned in scripture is that “Often we look for God’s glorious acts without concern for following his instructions” NIV Study Bible.  My point being is that we must continue every day to patiently TRUST God in a posture of obedience with our lives.   What does that look like for you?  For me personally it starts with meeting the Lord on my knees in the early morning hours or putting my hands up to praise Him in worship.  It’s funny how our postures show exactly what we are feeling internally.  I would like to encourage you the next time you meet with God to notice how you are approaching His throne.  Does your posture reflect His instructions for your life?  Does it show the ultimate love you want so desperately for others to believe?

Have you ever had your mind and heart set on a dream only for God to take you down a completely different path in your life?

I had this happen about 5 years ago.  I started going back to school to get a Masters Degree in Counseling.  I knew without question at a very early age I wanted to help others in this field.  While going back to college I was diagnosed with cancer, and my life took a completely different turn, as you can only imagine.  Immediately I went from pursuing my dream to become a licensed counselor to fighting for my life to stay alive.  Looking back over what took place, I can’t help but almost laugh at how true God’s word is.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”  Proverbs 19:21

When I set out to get my degree in counseling, I never in my wildest dreams would of thought that God would use my life to minister to others about His unfailing grace, mercy and miraculous love for us.  Who in the world would of thought that while training to run a half-marathon 6 months after waking up from my coma I would discover the deepest desire of my heart, coaching?  Even though I had no desire to become a “running coach”, God revealed to me that I could be a spiritual coach.  As a Women’s Christian Life Coach I get to love, encourage and motivate others just as my running coaches did for me.  Now today, 5 years later I have the privilege of coaching women daily around the world as we seek God together and build deeper intimate relationships with Christ!

My hope and prayer for you today is that even if you are questioning which direction your life is heading, that you too will trust the scripture and know without question that God’s purpose for you life will prevail!  Leave a comment today and share where you are in your life plans and what God is revealing to you.

Believe

How would your life be different if you really believed God’s infinite power in your life?  Would you live like a superhero?  I think I would soar through my days never looking back.  Fear, disbelief, insecurities would not exist!  Approaching problems would be exciting and thrilling because the end result would always be success.

Wow!  Why can’t life really be like that?  Wait a minute.  It can be if we choose to really believe who Christ says He is.  According to Ephesians 3:20,  “He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine”.

So then why don’t we live every day like a super hero?  One thing I’m certain of is that in this lifetime we will never comprehend exactly who God is and the order of how and why things happen.  In the book of Job, God points out that if we cannot fully grasp common events such as nature, then how can we truly understand God’s moral purposes for our lives?  We end up wasting so much time trying to figure out who God is that we put very little time in just simply believing.  Today let’s shift our mindset to believing God’s ultimate power over us.

  • What can you trust God with today?
  • How will your life be different by doing this?
  • Are you ready to experience God’s unlimited power?

I would love to hear from you!  Please leave a comment below.

Recently I did something pretty crazy or audacious, as my Pastor would say.  Last October during my quiet time, preparing for bible study, God lead me to a 40-day juice fast.  Let me be completely honest here, I had never completed a 24 hour fast of any kind.  I’ve always overlooked the fasting thing in the bible because personally it was something I really did not want to do.  I know that’s not making me look too great as a “Christian Life Coach” but I’m just being real with you.  The truth is we all have certain things that we want to ignore and pretend it doesn’t apply to our life.

Well, that particular morning, I was trying extremely hard to ignore God’s prompting so I actually starting arguing with him.  This is how it went down.  As I was reading scripture, I got that gentle nudge in my spirit that said 40 day juice fast.  I sat in my chair and literally looked up at the ceiling and spoke out loud, are You serious?  No food, just juice for 40 days?  I shook my head and headed to the kitchen to pour myself a nice cup of hot coffee and while I was walking back to my chair I started complaining.  “There is no way in creation that I can go 40 long days without chewing any food.  No way, no how, can I do that.  Forget it.”  And then I heard Him again (not audible, of course), if I can’t trust you with food, how can I trust you with people?  I immediately tossed my hands in the air and said, ok fine you got me!  My life is about reaching women with the love of Christ through coaching, writing and speaking so this was a big eye opener.

Luke 16:10 reads, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much…”  Don’t you hate it when scripture backs up the truth you were so hoping to avoid?  You know I’m just kidding, but heck 40 days was more than I wanted to bite off…LOL!

Today I want to encourage you that you can be trusted with more.  I want to challenge you to stop ignoring God’s promptings and embrace the truth.  Why, because the Holy Spirit lives inside you and if you press past your fears and seek His constant presence in everyday life, I promise you all things are possible.
