God is My Life Coach

Posted on by

On Tuesday’s video I shared with you that setting goals is typically not the problem for us; it’s the follow through that kills us.

We learned the problem is not the goal or the routine itself; the problem is the pattern of our response to our goals.

Reflecting and praying over the pattern of my responses in my relationships, ministry and health, one word came to mind.

awareness2

I began to pray.

God give me the gift of awareness. Show me what you see. Help me to hear what you hear. Open my heart to those around me. Make me aware of your presence.

I took out my journal and wrote the following:

When I am in His presence then I am aware.

God’s presence = God’s awareness

When I’m in your presence I am calm. When I’m in your presence I can breathe. When I’m in your presence I can scatter love.

focus

Sitting quietly in his presence I marveled at this revelation.

God is my life coach. He challenges me to be the best I can be while gently guiding me in truth. To remain accountable all I have to do is…

liveinhispresence

Living in His presence naturally creates a pattern of healthy, good, positive responses.

Jesus said in John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

What is He speaking to your heart today? How is He coaching you? I would love to hear from you.

1 Simple Way to Follow Through

Posted on by

How do we follow through on our goals?

I learned from my Pastor this weekend an invaluable nugget of wisdom that can potentially change everything for you.

We know how to set goals and routines and patterns to achieve them. So why is it so hard to actually follow through with our goals?

The problem is not the goal or the routine itself,

cupcake

For example, my goal is to eat healthy, however when I get emotional I respond by eating junk food {cupcakes} which is completely opposite of my goal. In order to achieve my goal, I must change the pattern of my response. Make sense?

What responses do you need to change in your life in order to achieve your goals? I would love to hear from. Leave a comment below.

How Not To Quit {this time}

Posted on by

Often when I think about planning for my future, coming up with a vision for my life or even setting a goal I tend to feel apprehensive and sometimes even down right afraid.

I know that might sound funny coming from a life coach, but it’s true.

It’s exciting to think about a new beginning and starting with a clean slate, but then that nagging little voice pops up, “What if you fail? What if you don’t follow through again? What if people think…”

All those insecurities crowd my thoughts and then the next thing you know I quit before ever getting started!

Can you relate? Does any of this sound familiar?

Last year I found a way to overcome this whole debacle of goal setting, follow through and not quitting. You really won’t believe how easy it is.

simplybelieve

Yep! I simply chose to believe.

Believe what? That I will do better this time? That I will have more will power, that I will not be a quitter.

No not at all.

Instead, I told those nagging little voices of what ifs exactly what they were to me, a LIE!

I politely told the “what if” family they were no longer welcomed in my mind and they would have to take up residence elsewhere.

They were EVICTED!

Eagerly I opened up the door and welcomed the truth {God’s word} to move in and take up permanent residence in my mind.

Romans 12:2 is one of my favorite occupants. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

When I felt down in the dumps or could not see the outcome I would knock on truth’s door and simply choose to believe.

Because of my new thoughts I completed a gigantic goal, writing a book.

Sweet friend, I am inviting you today to simply choose to believe. Believe God’s beautiful truth for you. His promises for you. Believe my prayer for you.

Heavenly Father, I pray that everyone who reads this post will simply choose to believe and remain confident of this, that You who began a good work in them will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Phil 1:6) I pray for your abundance to overflow in their lives. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

What are your goals? What are your fears? Leave a comment; I would love to pray for you!

The Secret to Reaching Your Goals in 2015

Posted on by

0001WI

As we are approaching the end of 2014 you might be saying next year “I’ll do better”

Better at….

Exercising

Spending time with God

Eating Healthy

Going to church

Getting organized

Managing my finances

Building my business

Making a career change

Studying the bible

Fill in the blank_____________

But year after year we manage to fall into the same old routine and never really change.

One thing I know for certain is when you are ready to make a change in your life you MUST have accountability.

I remember four years ago {before becoming a Christian Life Coach} I set out for the biggest goal of my life … to run a half marathon 13.1 miles.

Just fresh out of chemotherapy, a coma, life support and radiation this was a pretty crazy and audacious goal.

I wasn’t sure if I really could go through with it, if I really could run 13.1 miles. I was afraid to set such a goal and believe I could do it.

Have you ever been afraid to set a big goal?

As the training began I had two necessary components to insure my success, a coach and accountability.

My coach came along side me and believed in me more than I believed in myself, especially on those days when I was ready to throw in the towel. My coach challenged me to dig deep within myself and connect to my inner strength. My coach encouraged me every time I hit the pavement to give it all I had. But the most important gift my coach gave me was accountability.

Accountability is the secret sauce to success.

Because of my coach and being accountable to someone other than myself I crossed the 13.1-mile finish line on September 5, 2010. A huge victory!

Because of my personal experience in training for my half marathon I discovered the deepest desire of my heart … coaching. Today it is a privilege to serve women around the world as I coach them in achieving their goals. I love my work!

Whether you already have a goal in mind or you’re afraid to even set a goal I want to stretch you today. Dig deep.

What is that one goal you wish more than anything to achieve next year?

My Invitation To You

Posted on by

invite

As another year comes to an end I like to spend a little time intentionally reflecting on the past year. It’s good medicine for the soul.

It creates gratitude.

It’s a gift I like to give myself.

Either I’ll carve out a day to get away to a quiet place or I’ll take a little time each morning for a few days to reflect.

Just a few months ago for my 40th birthday I connected with a group of girlfriends for a nice dinner but instead of having any old conversation we focused our time together on thoughtful questions to ponder.

It was a beautiful purposeful evening filled with intention I treasure.

As your Christian Life Coach I want to encourage you to schedule a time of reflection, maybe even today?

When reflecting, I like to take out my journal and write down all the sacred simple moments I encountered throughout the year.

Now I know how easy it is for our minds to go to that place of ugh!!!! I wish I would of, should of, or could of this year, but that’s not what this is about. This is a time to give yourself a {hug & a bit of love}.

Okay sweet friend?

So today I invite you to spend some time of reflection with me in the comments below. I’ll leave the first comment. 

From my heart to yours, thank you for being a part of my blog community. You are a gift to me!

3 Questions to Ask When Making a Decision

Posted on by

question

Now that I have a teenage daughter I spend a lot of time making decisions … tuff parenting decisions.

I pray for wisdom and discernment just about hourly these days. Because I’m a bit of a control freak at times, it’s hard for me to release my tight grip from my “take charge know it all attitude”. And then before I know it I’ve made a bad decision based on my controlling ways that usually end up backfiring on me.

Have you ever had that happen?

Just yesterday when I was working with a client I had an epiphany. I asked her three questions that guided her into making a confident and firm decision.

After our meeting I thought wow I need to answer these questions for myself because I was feeling slightly stressed about yet another parenting decision. So I took out a piece of paper and wrote down the following 3 questions:

• Does your decision align with God’s word?
• Do you have confusion about your decision?
• Do you have peace about your decision?

Answering those questions made it clear to me that I did not need to move forward at this time in making a decision. Instead I needed to slow down and continue to seek God for guidance.

Often we rush into making decisions. We feel pressure to hurry up and keep moving. Let’s face it we live in a fast paced world and instant gratification has almost become a necessity.

Today I want to encourage you to slow down and ask yourself these 3 questions before making your next decision. It really works great for any decision you are making.

I would love to hear from you. What decisions are you wrestling with. Leave comment below.
