Beauty from Pain

Posted on by

porchWill you join me on my front porch today?

As I sit in my rocking chair, listening to the birds chirp, watching the sunrise with the cool gentle breeze blowing, I’m filled with awe and wonder.  God softly whispers, “be still”.

I remember sitting in this very place writing one of many journal entries on my CaringBridge page during my cancer journey. Every entry was written from a secret place deep in my soul. There’s something about facing death that strips away everything you’ve ever tried to hide behind.

Do you want to know the best part about having cancer? I know that sounds crazy, but really there was good that came from living with that dreaded “C” word.

I finally gave myself permission to genuinely be me. There was no need to perform anymore or appear to be something I was not. It naturally forced me to be me while uncovering the gift of life.

I’m #amazed at how God took my most vulnerable and frightening days and turned them into vast strength and courage.

After my third chemotherapy treatment I wrote, “God is using the cancer to change my life for Him to bring New Life in my spirit so I can share Jesus’ love with everyone I meet. Thank you Jesus for my cancer.” I had no clue how true those words would resonate in my daily life today, four years later.

My sweet friend, I’m here today to encourage you, that no matter what pain or hell you might face, it will pass and can be used for God’s greater purpose in your life.

I’m asking you to hold on, even if you have to white knuckle it, because He will create beauty from your pain.

Please share whatever is on your heart today.

Let’s pray for each other. When you leave a comment, please pray for the person that comments before you.

Much love, blessings and God’s favor for you~

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

Do you really see yourself as God’s Masterpiece?

When we love and accept who God has created us to be, it frees us to start doing the work he has planned for us to do all along.

My blog is about being yourself, connecting with each other, learning and growing in Christ together.  I love the community we are building here by connecting with prayer partners. Leave a comment today, if you would like prayer or a prayer partner.  Please feel free to share my blog with anyone today that needs a little encouragement 🙂

Got Confidence?

Posted on by

foxypar4

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!

*On Tuesday’s Inspirational Coaching Minute I asked you to leave a comment if you would like a prayer partner.   Please make sure you check the notification button to receive a response.  You might want to include your first and last name so you can meet on Facebook too.  I love seeing how you are connecting with each other. The purpose for my blog is to be a place of divine connections and acceptance among women. Thank you for hanging out with me here and sharing!! ((Hugs))

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?

Click the comment link below and share your thoughts with me.  I love hearing from you and how I can pray for you!  And also knowing I’m not alone in this crazy thing called life 🙂
