A Soul Longing For More

Posted on by

trees

 

Do you have a passionate intimate relationship with God?

I wish I could answer this question with a confident and resounding Yes!

I would like to write to you proclaiming that my every breath is undeniably filled with God’s presence that saturates my entire being…. that my life is completely satisfied longing for nothing more when it comes to a relationship with our Creator.

However, I refuse to be a fake, so I choose to share my truth with you.

Many days my relationship with God can be the absolute opposite from satisfied!

I find myself struggling desperately to make it through and wonder why life has to be so hard.  I question why everyone else around me seems to have it all together with this “Christian thing”.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “When is God’s word going to actually come alive in my life?”  I know I have.

When I find my soul anxiously searching, longing for more, the only thing I know to do is fight!  I get ticked off and then I am determined to fight for what is true.  Undeniably the best weapons to fight with are….

READING, MEDIATING, PRAYING and SPEAKING the Word of God!

Proverbs 3:5 tells us to “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” 

It’s ok when we experience times of uncertainty and feel a sense of longing.  We can boldly and confidently move past what we think to be “true” by simply trusting His promises in this one simple verse.

Is your soul longing for more?  How can you start to fill this desire?

You verses God?

Posted on by

Are you consumed with You or God?

I’m really starting to develop some insecurity around writing my blog each week because I’m convicted to be gut wrenching honest with you.

Ugh…..Here we go….

I have to admit to you my sweet sisters; I struggle with being consumed with me!

You see I know God did not miraculously heal me from cancer and a month long coma for me to just sit around and be obsessed with me.  Just like he hasn’t kept you alive for you to be focused and consumed with you.

But when it comes to taking a risk, like putting yourself out there for the world to see or trying something new we often end up paralyzed with fear because we consume ourselves with that one letter word…..I.

How can I do that?  What if I look stupid?  What if I am not good enough?

Which ultimately leads us to the vicious cycle of poor pitiful me, and then turns into a ridiculous self-loathing saga.

How in the world can we get ourselves off of our minds?  I had a revelation to that question this week while reading this verse.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  Ephesians 2:10

When we truly accept and love who God made us to be, there’s a divine freedom that floods the soul.  And through this beautiful freedom we slowly begin to allow ourselves to do the work he prepared for us long ago.

So guess what?  Instead of being trapped, agonizing over our thoughts and fears we end up moving into being completely consumed with God!

Have you been consumed with you or God lately?  How can you begin to switch your focus?  If you received this post via email, go to the bottom of the page and click on the link that has comment in it.  I would love to hear from you!

Do you really see yourself as God’s Masterpiece?

When we love and accept who God has created us to be, it frees us to start doing the work he has planned for us to do all along.

My blog is about being yourself, connecting with each other, learning and growing in Christ together.  I love the community we are building here by connecting with prayer partners.

Got Confidence?

Posted on by

foxypar4

How confident are you that you are living the life you were created for?

I want to share something that is actually pretty embarrassing to admit.  When I became a Christian Life Coach 3 years ago, I was stuffed full of insecurity, doubt and fear.  I questioned myself daily for months and months deliberating if I was really “good enough” to be a Christian Life Coach.  I would cry myself to sleep (sometimes even in the middle of the day) while struggling to put one foot in front of the other to build my coaching business.  I wasted many hours circling uncertainty in my mind.

As I think over the lack of confidence I struggle with at different times in my life, I’m reminded of Isaiah 55:10-11

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 

This scripture shows us where we can find our confidence.  When we read and speak scripture over our lives it will accomplish God’s purpose for us always because he promises it will not return to him void.

I’ve seen this truth come alive in my personal life time and time again, as well as with my coaching clients.

I want to encourage you again to start praying God’s word immediately.  Click the comment link below and let me know if you’ve done this before or if you’re ready to start. I love hearing from all my readers!

*On Tuesday’s Inspirational Coaching Minute I asked you to leave a comment if you would like a prayer partner.   Please make sure you check the notification button to receive a response.  You might want to include your first and last name so you can meet on Facebook too.  I love seeing how you are connecting with each other. The purpose for my blog is to be a place of divine connections and acceptance among women. Thank you for hanging out with me here and sharing!! ((Hugs))

How To Connect With God

Posted on by

disconnected

 

Do you ever find yourself so distant from God you don’t even know where or how to connect with him?

Sometimes I feel it is nearly impossible to get even a tiny glimpse of his presence.  When that happens I find it is real easy to get off track quickly.  I end up sleeping in a little later the next day and skipping my daily quiet time.  Not before long I can look back and see it’s been days since I’ve encountered God and I find myself in a bit of a funk!

There are so many ways to develop our relationship with God, however we must be intentional and possibly even strategic about it.

Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”

One powerful way to build your relationship with God is by connecting with other believers.  Going to church and bible study is wonderful, however to really dig deeper in your relationship with God, I recommend finding one or two other people in your life to pray with.

If you’re like me, I thought at one time, there is no way I’m going to pray out loud.  I was afraid I was not eloquent or spiritual enough to rattle off a prayer in front someone else.  However, I found out this is where real intimacy with God is created.  The Holy Spirit is most powerful in our vulnerabilities.  This is where our authentic relationship with God reveals to us that it’s not about “doing” or “saying” but simply just being in his presence.

Who can you pray with today?  I want to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and see how God will reveal himself to you with a deeper connection.  I would love to hear from you!

Everyone who comments today will be entered to WIN Lysa TerKeurst book What Happens When Women Say Yes to God.  Join me and over 18,000 other women in our next Online Bible Study as we say Yes to God together!  Winner will be announced on next Tuesday’s Inspirational Coaching Minute post.

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?

Click the comment link below and share your thoughts with me.  I love hearing from you and how I can pray for you!  And also knowing I’m not alone in this crazy thing called life 🙂

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.
