Got Confidence?

Posted on by

How confident are you that you are living the life you were created for?

I want to share something that is actually pretty embarrassing to admit.  When I became a Christian Life Coach 3 years ago, I was stuffed full of insecurity, doubt and fear.  I questioned myself daily for months and months deliberating if I was really “good enough” to be a Christian Life Coach.  I would cry myself to sleep (sometimes even in the middle of the day) while struggling to put one foot in front of the other to build my coaching business.  I wasted many hours circling uncertainty in my mind.

As I think over the lack of confidence I struggle with at different times in my life, I’m reminded of Isaiah 55:10-11

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 

This scripture shows us where we can find our confidence.  When we read and speak scripture over our lives it will accomplish God’s purpose for us always because he promises it will not return to him void.

I’ve seen this truth come alive in my personal life time and time again, as well as with my coaching clients.

I want to encourage you again to start praying God’s word immediately.  Click the comment link below and let me know if you’ve done this before or if you’re ready to start. I love hearing from all my readers!

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11 

I want to encourage and challenge you to START praying the word of God. Why? Because when we do,  it will accomplish what God desires to achieve for each one of us! Isn’t this exciting news?  When I read this verse, it gave me confidence to know that I’m moving in the right direction for my life, simply by praying his words.

As I was praying and reading over all the comments last week, I saw there is a need for many of you to connect with a prayer partner.  Let’s try to connect with each other today. Leave a comment below if you are in need of a prayer partner and anyone who feels led to connect with that person, just reply to their comment.  Make sure when you leave a comment you click the notification button so you will get the response.

How To Connect With God

Posted on by

disconnected

 

Do you ever find yourself so distant from God you don’t even know where or how to connect with him?

Sometimes I feel it is nearly impossible to get even a tiny glimpse of his presence.  When that happens I find it is real easy to get off track quickly.  I end up sleeping in a little later the next day and skipping my daily quiet time.  Not before long I can look back and see it’s been days since I’ve encountered God and I find myself in a bit of a funk!

There are so many ways to develop our relationship with God, however we must be intentional and possibly even strategic about it.

Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”

One powerful way to build your relationship with God is by connecting with other believers.  Going to church and bible study is wonderful, however to really dig deeper in your relationship with God, I recommend finding one or two other people in your life to pray with.

If you’re like me, I thought at one time, there is no way I’m going to pray out loud.  I was afraid I was not eloquent or spiritual enough to rattle off a prayer in front someone else.  However, I found out this is where real intimacy with God is created.  The Holy Spirit is most powerful in our vulnerabilities.  This is where our authentic relationship with God reveals to us that it’s not about “doing” or “saying” but simply just being in his presence.

Who can you pray with today?  I want to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and see how God will reveal himself to you with a deeper connection.  I would love to hear from you!

Everyone who comments today will be entered to WIN Lysa TerKeurst book What Happens When Women Say Yes to God.  Join me and over 18,000 other women in our next Online Bible Study as we say Yes to God together!  Winner will be announced on next Tuesday’s Inspirational Coaching Minute post.

Desperate

Posted on by

What are you desperate for?

I can tell you what I’m desperate for, simply being content with me!

I struggle all to often trying to be something I’m not.  I came to that “aha” moment just this week as I was talking with my life coach.  I discovered that I have been trying to be anything and everything else but ME!

There’s not one particular person I’m trying to be like, rather it’s that image social media tells us we should be.  We are constantly engaged on the Internet and overwhelmed with the latest and greatest expert on any given subject.  And the more I learn from these remarkable influences, there’s a little recording that plays in the back of my mind repeating, ”You’ll never be as good as them, who do you think you are, do you really think you have something to offer?”

My heart has been in the right place all along, to love and encourage women to achieve God’s purpose in their lives. My mind however has been overwhelmed with comparison of the next best thing out in social media land.

Jesus said in John 15:7, If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

Truth be told, I’ve been asking whatever I wish and not seeing the results come thru.

Why?

Because I’ve been remaining in the world’s standards instead of remaining in Christ.  My thoughts have been focused on what others are doing instead of what God is doing in me.  Surprisingly enough after grasping the concept of this truth and remaining in Christ, I now feel content with ME!  Isn’t it funny when we actually apply scripture to our lives it really does work!

What have you been desperately asking God for and not receiving?

Who will you choose to remain in?

Fear of Failure

Posted on by

The fear of failing can be absolutely paralyzing!

Royale

I cannot tell you the countless hours I’ve wasted my life away agonizing over looking stupid, afraid of falling flat on my face to windup being labeled a failure.  Not only have I used up valuable mental energy consumed with fear, it also sucks the life out of me physically.

I remember waking up from many weeks in a coma on life support.  Nothing on my body worked.  My muscles were extremely atrophied and no matter how much I thought with my mind, I can move my arms and legs, nothing would happen.  At the time, those were some of the worst days of my entire life!

However, looking back today I can proudly say those were actually some of the best days of my life!

Why?

Because I learned to push through the fear and fight for what God wanted for my life.  God not only had plans for me to walk again, but actually to run 13.1 miles a year later!

To overcome fear, it comes down to one little word…CHOICE.  We have a choice to make. Believe the lie that we are powerless or believe the absolute truth; we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Philippians 4:13

Remember, just because we “feel” something doesn’t always mean it’s true!

What choice are you going to make today?  Believe the truth?  Believe the lie?

Leave me a comment today and tell me what you choice you are making.

Priority Shift

Posted on by

Don’t you hate ultimatums?

I found myself over the last few months resisting the fact that it was time to make some serious life style changes.  And the more I kept putting this off, the worse my situation became.  But honestly, one reason I was hesitant to start making changes was I did not know where to start!  All I really knew was it was time to make a major adjustment, otherwise I was going to have no other choice but to let go of the very things I love most.

After talking with my life coach, it was time for a shift in my priorities.  My quiet time with God had fallen into just another “To-Do List” item.  If I could cram in a quick devotion and read a bible verse then I could check off that I had my time with God for the day. Quiet time with God looks different for every individual.  For me it means reading the bible, journaling, praying and sometimes reading a devotional.  When I spend adequate time with Jesus, inevitably my day is much more focused and at peace.

I invite you today to ask yourself these questions:

What are my priorities?

What does my quiet time look like?

Is it time for a priority shift in my life?
