The Presence of Jesus

Do you go into “task mode” during your quiet time?

Do you consider reading scripture, devotionals or Christian books your personal connection with Jesus?

It’s important for us to also sit quietly with Jesus and soak in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

As a Christian Life Coach I continually redirect my clients to Jesus and their relationship with him. I believe our connection and intimacy with Jesus is the number one relationship in our lives.

Leave a comment below and let us know how you connect with Jesus on a personal level. You will automatically be entered to WIN a copy of the Jesus Calling Devotional by Sarah Young. {It’s a must have!}

Winner will be announced next Tuesday!

What to do for Quiet Time

JesusCallingPic Do you ever struggle with what to do in your quiet time or where to begin reading the bible? Reading the Jesus Calling Devotional is one of my favorite places to connect with God. I often encourage my clients to begin their quiet time with reading the Jesus Calling devotional. It takes just a few minutes. At the bottom of each devotion there are scripture verses to look up. You can simply read the verse or you can read the chapter. Spending time with God requires two things: our desire and consistency. As a Christian Life Coach I want to challenge you to start today and step into a deeper relationship with Jesus immediately. Leave a comment below and let me know how you like to connect with God and be entered to win a copy of Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.

A Talk with God & a Giveaway

beach2

Standing at the kitchen sink feeling anxious about my day ahead I thought to myself why do I always end up back in the same place? Nervous, insecure, intimidated …

I hate all those yucky feelings. No matter what I’ve overcome in life, these thoughts nag at me almost daily.

And then He spoke.

Not audible, just that deep knowing rushed through me.

Stop looking inward and start looking upward.

I sighed with relief. That’s it, that’s why I feel so tense and worried.

When I’m feeling emotionally off balance it is because my thoughts have become all about me … How am I going to do it all? What if I make a mistake? What if I’m not good enough?

Thinking about that day’s responsibilities I asked myself, “What is your purpose for doing all of these things? Is it for you or for God?”

Hmmm. That was a bit of a gut check.

So often we set out to do good for God and then somehow it gets twisted and tangled up and becomes about us.

That is never my intention …. for life to become all about me.

My true desire and I’m sure it’s yours too, is to live a life honoring and pleasing to God.

So that morning as I walked away from the kitchen I looked up to God with my hands over my heart and prayed, Lord today I choose to look towards you.

And amazingly after that short conversation with God my emotions were no longer frazzled. I was at complete peace. Centered, focused and ready for the day ahead.

So what’s got you feeling a little frazzled? Take a moment and look to God. What is he speaking to your heart?

Are You at Peace With Yourself?

I was listening to Joyce Meyer the other day and as always she spoke brilliantly into my life. She said,

mtnpeace

I don’t know about you, but I could list a dozen things I do not like about myself.

Isn’t that sad?

The one thing I’ve wrestled with most of my life or should I say “the thorn in my flesh” is my critical spirit towards myself.

The one thing I love to do more than anything in the world is to build others up with encouraging and motivating words, but so many times I tend to tear myself apart.

I am ready to make peace with those critical thoughts, but how?

Last weekend my Pastor said to treat our thoughts like a prisoner of war. Interrogate them. Immediately when a thought pops in our mind ask it, “Where did you come from?” and “Who sent you?” And if it does not align with God’s truth then take it captive. Do not let those negative thoughts lead you. You are supposed to lead them.

It’s time to stop being intimidated, fearful, ashamed, condemned by what you don’t like about yourself, instead make peace with it. You might need to get a little creative but remember you already have a spirit of self-control that lives inside of you. It’s waiting to be activated.

Join me today and begin to take hold of those thoughts. Leave a comment below and let me know what you are making peace with.

Life After Cancer

fampic

Sometimes I notice the bright crystal blue sky and the fluffy white clouds.

Some days I slow down and breath in the fresh air as tears well up inside me with gratitude.

Some mornings I sit with my daughter and hold her hand taking in the gift of another day with her.

Some evenings I look around my house and notice how my husband has yet again picked up the kitchen and tidied up the counters before heading to bed.

Some days I listen in amazement as a friend gushes with thankfulness for all
God is doing in her life.

And then….

Sometimes I forget that I’m a survivor and miss the blessings right in front of me.

Some days I rush through my day and stress about trivial things.

Some mornings I wake up grumpy and feel down in the dumps.

Some evenings I veg out in front of the TV wasting hours until time to go to bed.

Either way….

Today I’m pausing to say I am grateful for the life I’ve been given and for you reading this page.

Today is a gift so let’s make it count!

Leave me a comment and let me know how you will make today count.

I currently have a waiting list, however I will have appointments opening up in mid September. I want to encourage you that there is hope and a new way of life through Christian Life Coaching. ((hugs))

What Are You Hoping For?

hope

Are you hoping this school year will be the best yet for your kids?

Are you hoping to get ahead financially?

Are you hoping you’ll get your act together and take better care of yourself?

Are you hoping for that promotion?

Every single day we are hoping, hoping, hoping. Do you agree?

Even if it’s for those little things like getting a front row parking spot at the grocery store or not having to wait in line forever at Target to make a return, we are constantly hoping.

So what are you doing with all those hopes? And better yet what do you do while waiting on them to be answered?

Do you fret, worry, and complain if they are not immediately answered? Or do you get angry, bitter or even resentful?

I came across a verse this morning that caused me to pause and do a little bit of soul-searching.

“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25

Yikes! That one little word, patiently is what caused me to take a really big breath and reflect on all that I’ve been hoping for the past few months.

Lord knows I have been anything but patient! If anything I could replace it with controlling, obsessing and pretty much just freaking out.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that gets a little loopty loo when it comes to waiting?

All I can say is thank God for grace. No matter how I act or behave His love is the same yesterday, today and forever. Can I get an Amen for Jesus?

So what are you hoping for? What will you do if you have to wait? Will you tuck away Romans 8:25 in your heart as a reminder?

Lord, we come to you today and lay our hopes at your feet as we wait patiently and faithfully. In Jesus Name we pray~
