I Said Yes!

coffeedate

As I was driving to my favorite office space (Starbucks) I started thinking about how cool it is that we can share our lives with people literally around the world all because of technology. I love that we no longer have to work in “the office” but can literally work from anywhere that has Wi-Fi?

Heck, I do my coaching sessions and even have coffee dates over Skype. Speaking of Skype, I have a coffee date scheduled with a new friend of mine, Holley Gerth in a few days.

Holley will be stopping by my blog on September 26 and we will be giving away some cool stuff that day so make sure to visit!

I’m so excited to introduce you to her! She is someone you will fall in love with if you don’t already know her. She is a best-selling author of Your’re Already Amazing as well as several other books and has her own line of awesome things at DaySpring.

When she spoke at the She Speaks conference I attended in July, she created such an intimacy with the audience. I felt as if I was the only person in the room she was talking with.

Holley asked us about our God-Sized Dreams. She helped us see past ourselves and into the vision God has for our lives.

I want to encourage you today that YOU too have a God-Sized Dream deep in your heart.

During my Yes to God bible study, I had huge breakthrough! I said Yes to God by embracing the authentic me, by letting go of perfection and comparison, which has freed me to completely pursue my God-Sized Dream!

Will you join me in a little coffee date today? Pour yourself a cup of coffee or your favorite drink, grab your journal and write out everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing. Think back to when you were a little girl. What dreams did you share with your best friend?

I want to hear all about you today! What did you discover during our coffee date? Leave a comment below.

Serenity

Where can you find real serenity, especially when life is so out of control?

I don’t know about you, but for me I crave serenity…peace…calm…tranquility.  You know that exact place you find yourself when you finally recline on the beach with toes snuggled in the sand and the sound of crashing waves removing all debris from your thoughts.  That moment when you exhale a sigh of relief…vacation has finally arrived.  Why do we have to wait till we are hundreds of miles away from reality to embrace serenity?  If I dare take a guess, it’s because we cannot let go of control. We are simply too afraid to hand over control of our lives to the One who created us.  We “think” because we’ve said yes to Christ and officially labeled ourselves Christians, with a Jesus bumper sticker, cross dangling from our neck and socializing with that certain ”group” of believers, then surely we’ve surrendered ourselves to Christ….right?

Wrong!

Please hear me, all those things are noble and it speaks volumes for who we are, however God has been opening the eyes of my heart over the last six months to what I call genuine soul surrender.  How exactly does that work you might ask?  It all starts with one little word….obedience.  Yes, that’s it, just plain and simple obedience.  Please don’t let me fool you by sounding like I’ve got this all figured out, because coming from a rebellious take charge, get it done now kind of girl, it has not been an easy road to travel.  To be frank with you, it’s down right sucked many days.  By no means has it been a walk in the park having to deny my flesh and ego day after day.  However, I do have good news for you today!

“Your job is obedience.  God’s job is results.” pg. 162 Let. It. Go. By Karen Ehman

When we are wholeheartedly committed to obedience, God provides results every time.  So, back to my question on where can you find true serenity in the middle of life’s chaos?  On your knees my friend, handing over your desires for God’s desires and in doing so the result is serenity.  That place scripture refers to as “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding” Philippians 4:7

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

Posted on by

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?
