Week 2 – You Are Not Alone

Posted on August 25, 2015 by lkuhar

Hello friends!

I’m going to be real honest with you and today … I did not want to go out for my long run!

I woke up and felt like I had aches and pains from head to toe. I really wanted to procrastinate and put my run off until tomorrow.

Last week I had two unexpected doctor appointments that gave me a little scare. Everything is fine and I’m completely healthy, but it really did mess with my mindset.

Have you ever set a goal and then out of nowhere opposition challenges you?

That’s what happened to me last week, the very first week of training for my half marathon!

Let me know where you are struggling with your goal? What support do you need to keep moving forward?

If you are not struggling with your goal, think about what challenges you might face in the weeks ahead and how you can prepare yourself so that you will stay on track when opposition comes?

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing with your goal and where might you need support.

You are not alone in this. Together we will achieve our goals!

Week 1 – Setting Your Goal

Posted on August 18, 2015 by lkuhar

Guess what my goal is?

I am training for the Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon on November 8, two days before my book release!

This will be my third half marathon. My first two events I ran with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training and they were amazing experiences! But I must confess, after the second event I said I would NEVER EVER run a half marathon again because I did not have the same experience as the first event. I had slacked off in my training and as a result I was pretty miserable running 13.1 miles the second time around.

It’s very import that we get focused and serious about our goals here. If you are here on my blog, I really want you to make a commitment for the next 12 weeks. I don’t want you to commit half way, but fully commit. Let’s do this together!

In the comments below I want you to write out your SMART Goal. For example here’s mine!

Specific: Run 13.1 miles

Measurable: Nov. 8, 2015 (2 days before Worthy of a Miracle book release!!!)

Attainable: Planned wisely (Meeting with a running coach and allowed adequate time to train.)

Realistic: Yes, I am willing and able.

Timely: 12 week time frame

Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN What Happens When Women Say Yes To God devotional by Lysa TerKeurst. Winner announced next Tuesday! I’m so excited to have you running alongside me the next 12 weeks as we accomplish our goals together.

YOU ROCK!!!

Is Your Life Crazy?

Posted on July 28, 2015 by lkuhar

It started almost exactly 12 months ago.

Out of nowhere a shocker I was in no way, shape or form prepared to hear.

Someone very close to me was hurting so deeply that it was too much for me to grasp.

Instead of offering compassion I got angry … very angry!

Fear and anxiety overtook me.

My mind raced with horrific thoughts. And the more I thought about this desperate situation the angrier I became.

I had no peace, no hope, just sheer panic.

Has this ever happened to you?

Sometimes when a loved one is in so much emotional pain it is too hard to sit with and just be present with them.

It’s uncomfortable.

It’s vulnerable.

It’s scary.

Instead of offering a hug or a listening ear we try to fix them or we might even push them away. It’s not right, but its just they way it happens because it is too painful for us to see them hurting.

The enemy will use anything to cause division, especially with those we love so much.

I’m writing this today to remind you and me that we must live on guard, ready for the next attack.

I’m not saying to live in fear of the unknown anxiously awaiting the next shoe to drop.

But I am saying we must put on our armor every single day. Ephesians 6:10-18

What does that look like for you?

Prayer … Reading the bible … Worship … Journaling … Listening to a sermon … Talking with a friend … Having a mentor or a life coach to keep you accountable?

How prepared are you for the next assault from the enemy?

What are you doing consistently so that you maintain a peaceful life so that when things go crazy you don’t?

I wish I could tell you that a year later everything is perfect and all better for my dear loved one, but that is not the case. However, I can say that through our greatest trials and deepest heartaches the Lord continues to provide.

Our God is good.

He is faithful.

And His mercies are new every single morning. Lam 3:22-23

Let me know in the comments if you’ve experienced attacks from the enemy and how you plan to stay prepared.

Let’s Remove the Stigma

Posted on July 14, 2015 by lkuhar

Will you join me in removing the stigma of mental illness?

Transformation Church and Rick & Kay Warren are passionate about the body of Christ coming together and removing the stigma society has placed on mental illness. Six years ago when I had cancer I received an outpouring of unconditional love and support even from strangers while I was sick, but I dare to say if I was struggling from mental illness I would receive the same support.

Kay Warren delivered a powerful message at Transformation Church last Sunday. Watch here. “Research shows 1 in 5 children and 1 in 5 adults in America will be affected by mental illness in a given year. Although millions of people are impacted by mental illness, people often feel isolated, alone, and unsure of where to turn for help and hope.” Saddleback Church will be having a special event The Gathering on Mental Health & The Church on October 7–9, 2015. Click here to register.

Leave me a comment and let me know if you personally have struggled or know someone struggling with mental illness. Let’s talk about this, support one another and remove the stigma!

Pick Yourself Back Up

Posted on July 2, 2015 by lkuhar

Have you ever prayed, “God, I’m handing this sin over to you … I repent.”

You might even journal about it promising to God and yourself that you are done with a particular sin. But within 5 minutes you find yourself turning right back to that very same sin!

That’s exactly what happened to me this morning. Immediately I told God I’m never going to change. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Through his word he reminded me to pick myself back up and continue moving forward and hand it over to him once again. There’s no need to beat myself up.

Have you ever experienced this before? I want to encourage you to pick yourself back up again. Sometimes we have to multiple times a day. Share in the comments below your experience with this.

{Thank you to all those who are praying for me and who have joined my prayer team for Worthy of a Miracle to be released this November. I am blessed by you. XOXO}
