Lately I’ve been in a period of soul searching and questioning God on his call for my life.  To be real honest with you I’ve been struggling with fear and anxiety lately.  This summer has been difficult on our family emotionally due to my mom’s unexpected triple bypass surgery; that really was an absolute MIRACLE from God.  She was literally a heartbeat away from a massive heart attack!  What was so unfortunate was that she still ended up having a minor heart attack after she came home from the hospital due to the collapse of one of the bypasses.  So to say the least, this summer has been a whirlwind for us.  The good news is, mom is in rehab now and improving every day, thank God!!

After being faced with a life or death situation once again, it has forced me to revaluate my life.  I’ve started coaching myself unintentionally by asking myself some tuff questions.  For example:

1)     If this was the last week of my life and I had time to reflect over my life, would I be pleased with what I accomplished for God?

2)     Do I live each day with passion?

3)    What am I doing that makes a significant impact on others?

4)    Am I consistently living in the present moment or do I spend more time in the past or future?

5)     What’s stopping me from living a life Fully Relying On God to achieve the deepest desires of my heart?

I strongly encourage you to spend some time journaling and answering these questions too.  It has been an eye opening experience for me.  Honestly, I’m not too thrilled with some of my answers, so as my husband always says to me, “there’s nothing to it but to do it!”  With that being said, I’m going to take his advice and start living life with no regrets and embrace the Miracle of the moment I have been blessed with and keep moving forward in God’s call for my life.  I hope and pray this post has encouraged you to take some time and do a little soul searching as well!
