Desperate

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?

Fear of Failure

Posted on by

The fear of failing can be absolutely paralyzing!

Royale

I cannot tell you the countless hours I’ve wasted my life away agonizing over looking stupid, afraid of falling flat on my face to windup being labeled a failure.  Not only have I used up valuable mental energy consumed with fear, it also sucks the life out of me physically.

I remember waking up from many weeks in a coma on life support.  Nothing on my body worked.  My muscles were extremely atrophied and no matter how much I thought with my mind, I can move my arms and legs, nothing would happen.  At the time, those were some of the worst days of my entire life!

However, looking back today I can proudly say those were actually some of the best days of my life!

Why?

Because I learned to push through the fear and fight for what God wanted for my life.  God not only had plans for me to walk again, but actually to run 13.1 miles a year later!

To overcome fear, it comes down to one little word…CHOICE.  We have a choice to make. Believe the lie that we are powerless or believe the absolute truth; we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Philippians 4:13

Remember, just because we “feel” something doesn’t always mean it’s true!

What choice are you going to make today?  Believe the truth?  Believe the lie?

Leave me a comment today and tell me what you choice you are making.

Priority Shift

Posted on by

Don’t you hate ultimatums?

I found myself over the last few months resisting the fact that it was time to make some serious life style changes.  And the more I kept putting this off, the worse my situation became.  But honestly, one reason I was hesitant to start making changes was I did not know where to start!  All I really knew was it was time to make a major adjustment, otherwise I was going to have no other choice but to let go of the very things I love most.

After talking with my life coach, it was time for a shift in my priorities.  My quiet time with God had fallen into just another “To-Do List” item.  If I could cram in a quick devotion and read a bible verse then I could check off that I had my time with God for the day. Quiet time with God looks different for every individual.  For me it means reading the bible, journaling, praying and sometimes reading a devotional.  When I spend adequate time with Jesus, inevitably my day is much more focused and at peace.

I invite you today to ask yourself these questions:

What are my priorities?

What does my quiet time look like?

Is it time for a priority shift in my life?

Need…?

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8

No matter how hard I try to turn over complete control of my life to God, I inevitably manage to hold onto one little tiny shred of it.  Especially when it comes to letting go of control over my future.  I go from needing answers in black and white to somehow “fully relying on God”.  To be completely honest, I struggle with staying committed to turning to the Lord for my every need.  Today I want to ask you a few questions.

What is your biggest need right now? 

What areas are you struggling in? 

Where do you need encouragement in your life?

Will you take a leap of faith and share with me your needs today?

~I want to know how I can best encourage you!~

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Breaking Point

Posted on by

Roger's Eye

When is the last time you totally flipped out because you hit a wall of complete exhaustion?  You know that breaking point when life has given you more than you can bear.

Embarrassingly enough, it was just this week for me.  What led me to a not so minor meltdown was living my life waaaaay out of balance.  Lately, I found myself doing too many “good things”.  You see, for some reason we think its ok to stretch ourselves thin when it comes to family, home, friends, volunteering, ministry….

Wrong!

When our life is out of balance, we are playing on the enemy’s field and before we know it we are entangled in weeds of lies and caught wrestling with tremendous frustration and exhaustion.

This week when I found myself in a dark moment of despair, sobbing, and overwhelmed with life, I had a BREAKTHROUGH!

As I was crying out to God, he gently whispered one word to me.  “Excellence”  I know that sounds strange at first, but through that one word, I found a new perspective which led me to a great sense of peace.

I recognized that a core value of mine is to live a life of Excellence, however I’ve fallen really short of this because of doing way too much lately.  As hard as it can be to say no to people or even dreams you may have, it is well worth it because it is impossible to be all things all the time.  Sometimes we have to let go of a few things because it is not the right season in our life.  For me, it’s writing a book.

I came to the understanding that it is time for me to go back to the basics.  That means spending more time with God to find clarity and balance in my day-to-day life.  For you, I’m sure it looks a little different.  I want to encourage you to answer this question today and leave a comment below.

What does living a life of excellence look like to you?

Spiritual Vitamins

Posted on by

What are you doing to stay spiritually fit?

Most of us take a multivitamin daily to make sure our bodies are getting enough nutrition.  Heck, I take about 7 different supplements every day in hopes to remain alive and healthy.  The funny thing is as I’m writing this post; I woke up with a cold today!  So now what I plan to do is load up on plenty of Vitamin C to see if I can kick this thing.

The question I really want us to ponder is what type of spiritual vitamins are you taking daily?  Here are a few things I have readily available to me just incase I find myself feeling a little spiritually sick.

  • Prayer (personally & with others)
  • Worship music
  • Journaling
  • Bible study
  • Fellowship with others
  • Scripture memorization/meditation
  • Spending time in nature

All of these “spiritual vitamins” are excellent, however if I wait until I’m spiritually under the weather to take them, they end up not being quit as effective as if I’d been taking them every day.  It’s kind of like me running to the cabinet today to stock up on Vitamin C.  It might shorten the length of my sickness, however it is already too late because I have a cold to deal with no matter what.

As a Christian Life Coach, I love to encourage and challenge my readers with a few questions.  Take a moment today and answer the following questions.

1.   What daily spiritual vitamins are you taking?

2.   Are you taking them consistently?

3.   How can you keep yourself accountable to take them daily?

Please leave a comment below, I love hearing from you!
