A Powerful Lesson from Cancer {& Worthy of a Miracle Necklace Giveaway}

Worthy of a Miracle is a two-part book. Part One is about my personal story of God’s physical and spiritual healing in my life. Part Two is more of a guidebook and inspirational practice to deepen our awareness of worthiness and our relationship with Jesus.

Several years ago I woke up in the middle of the night and this acronym popped in my mind. JESUS: Just Live Today, Expect Miracles, Speak Truth, Use Your Gifts, Start Now! I put it in my cell phone and it stayed there for about a year before I ever did anything with it. Then one day when I was really struggling I pulled the acronym out and started journaling about how it applied to my relationship with God. Little did I know that years later this acronym would be in a book! Over the next few weeks I will share more here with you about each letter in the acronym.

This week we are going to focus on the JJust Live Today. Below is an excerpt out of Worthy of a Miracle, Chapter 13.

“When I was diagnosed with cancer and was afraid I was going to die, I wanted my time back. I wanted to undo the days I’d let slip through my hands . . . the slow and sweet moments with my husband, and the simple and silly moments with my daughter. I would sit on my front porch swing with the sinking feeling (the new reality!) that I only had that very hour, that very day. I could not go backward, and I was not guaranteed a future. I just had “today”.

Looking back, I am finally aware of what a tremendous gift it was to recognize that all I had was that single moment.” (pg. 177)

Focusing on today is one of the key points in Part Two of my book. We all struggle in this fast pace world with actually living in the present moment. I personally get so overwhelmed with my “To Do List” and I constantly stay a day ahead or at least a few hours ahead in my mind.

So how do we actually live in the present moment?

Here are my top 5 Just Live Today habits that help me live in the present moment. (Excerpt from Worthy of a Miracle pg. 179)

Put to the Test

Now that I’m working to replace my bad habit of worrying with a new positive habit of gratitude I am continuously being challenged!

I want to let you know whatever bad habit you are trying to break, you will be put to the test. Do not be surprised. Go ahead and prepare for it.

For example, I was worrying about something as simple as the weather outside and it turned out to be a complete waste of energy and brain power.

Tell me what are you putting into practice to overcome your bad habit?

For me I am practicing gratitude and thankfulness by speaking it into my life and everything around me. And when I catch myself going to that place of worry, I stop and ask myself what am I thankful for in this moment.

I heard Linda’s cancer story numerous times through our connection with the Team In Training program with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but reading her book gave me a brand new perspective on the challenges, fears, choices and triumphs she, her family and friends faced in her fight against lymphoma.  As her coach for her first half marathon, just six months after her coma, I never saw her back down on her commitment to train for and complete her 13.1 mile victory, even when the going got tough. What I did see was how that commitment inspired her fellow teammates to persevere. I admire that she has the courage to build on what she learned from that experience to go after her purpose in life. – Beth Carty, Team In Training Coach for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Linda’s book is her personal, beautiful, and inspiring story of God’s faithfulness, and her story is for any woman who has ever felt she was not worthy of a miracle. Linda learned how to open her heart to receive His gift of amazing love as God “used a physical coma to fully reveal to her how to have a relationship with Jesus.”  – Janice LaVore-Fletcher, PCC, MCC, BCC, President of Christian Coach Institute, LLC

Bad Habits to New Habits

I’m inviting you to pray this today: “Search the inner depths of my heart and expose anything that is not of You so I can be set free of it.” Excerpt from Stormie Omartian’s book The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage.

What do you need to be set free from?

In my quiet time I was reading Psalm 5:11-12 and part of it reads “Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.” All of a sudden my eyes were opened to a “bad” habit I have. I have a habit of not being joyful, instead I have a habit of anxious thoughts and worrying.

I’ve decided I want to create a new habit of gratitude, thankful and joy filled thoughts to replace my bad habit of anxious and worried thoughts.

Let me know what “bad” habit you have and what new habit you can replace it with?

Linda Kuhar extends an invitation to find an extraordinary God at work in the middle of our ordinary lives. She offers faith, encouragement and, most of all, hope. Whether you’re going through a difficult time or are simply looking for inspiration and a new perspective, Worthy of a Miracle will meet you where you are and help you see what could be. – Holley Gerth, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of You’re Already Amazing

I knew Linda’s story would be inspiring, but had no idea how much her book would touch my heart as a woman, a wife, a parent and a believer. Seeing how God orchestrated small and life changing miracles in her life literally moved me to tears as I witnessed the tangible proof of the power of God at work. Her story is a beautiful reminder of God’s sovereignty, packed with scriptural promises and practical steps for growing our relationship with God, while reminding us all that we are worthy of His miracles too. – Tracie Miles, Christian Speaker & Writer, and Author of two best-selling books, Your Life Still Counts: How God Turns Your Past Into A Beautiful Future and Stressed-Less Living: Finding God’s Peace In Your Chaotic World.

It’s Truly a Miracle!

What were you doing six years ago today?

I remember it all too well. Six years ago is when this miracle journey began.

I am so AMAZED & GRATEFUL that I have you, this blog community, to love, encourage and inspire one another. When I was diagnosed with cancer I prayed to have more time on earth to share the love of Christ with others and that is what I get to do here!

Today I want us to share our gratitude to God for all the miracles in our life in this very moment!

I am grateful that I get to make this video and talk with you, that I’m training for a half marathon, for my health, that I can breathe on my own without assistance from a machine and most of all the Gift of Life!

Everyone who comments will be entered to Win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller. Lets praise God and share what we are grateful for today!

Look at what YOU did for me!

Is being too tired a good excuse not to follow through on your goals?

I really wanted to use that excuse this week. But when I thought about my desired outcome to feel great when I run my half marathon I decided to push through my resistance.

But then, even in the middle of pushing through, I started thinking about ways to cut corners the next day! Have you ever done that?

Extra accountability is what I needed this week! So I stepped it up. I made a commitment to video and let you know when I completed my next goal (4 mile run).

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my blog community for watching this and my friend Stephanie for running with me because I would have totally cheated myself and ran fewer miles. Confession: I get lazy and I like to cut corners 🙂

Let me know who is keeping you accountable in your goal? Do you need to step up your accountability to make sure you follow through? Everyone who comments will be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

A Simple Tip to Overcome Stress

When you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed with your schedule what can you do to get rid of that tension?

One trick I’ve shared with my coaching clients over the past few years is an acronym I created called S.L.O.W.

Stop … stop what you are doing.
Listen … listen to your surroundings, to your heart, to God. What is it telling you?
Obey … be obedient in what you just heard.
Walk … put it into action, do it now.

Today when I was feeling overwhelmed I asked myself what can I do to stop feeling this way? Immediately I knew I needed to S.L.O.W. down.

Leave me a comment and let me know if there is anything you are feeling overwhelmed with today & be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

Living in God’s presence will shift you from being stressed to stressed-less. Check out Tracie Mile’s Stressed-less Living bible study here!

Meditate on Psalm 16:1, You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

No Pain, No Gain … Really?

This was so hard … 7 miles complete!

Why do we take two steps forward and one step back when working towards our goal? We might need to consider the different factors involved. For example this week I need to look at the difference in the weather, my nutrition and stretching from the previous week.

Coaching tip: When you are working towards your goal do not get discouraged when you have an “off” day. It is part of the process to have good days and bad days. Remember progress not perfection. We must go through growing pains, learning and perseverance to get across the finish line.

Let’s keep up the good work ladies, together we will make it through!

War Room

Have you seen War Room? Confession: I went twice this weekend!

This movie literally has changed my life. If you have not seen the movie, please go see it.

Will you take the challenge with me to step up and be more disciplined in your prayer life? I know when I sincerely meet with God, I leave a changed woman every single time. I’m not saying it will be easy, but I promise it is worth it.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

While discipline is so important for us to achieve our goals, it is even more important in our time with God. Our prayer lives must be top priority.

Let me know how disciplined you are in your prayer life or do you need to step it up with me? How might that impact the goals you are trying to achieve? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.
