God is My Life Coach

Posted on by

On Tuesday’s video I shared with you that setting goals is typically not the problem for us; it’s the follow through that kills us.

We learned the problem is not the goal or the routine itself; the problem is the pattern of our response to our goals.

Reflecting and praying over the pattern of my responses in my relationships, ministry and health, one word came to mind.

I began to pray.

God give me the gift of awareness. Show me what you see. Help me to hear what you hear. Open my heart to those around me. Make me aware of your presence.

I took out my journal and wrote the following:

When I am in His presence then I am aware.

God’s presence = God’s awareness

When I’m in your presence I am calm. When I’m in your presence I can breathe. When I’m in your presence I can scatter love.

Sitting quietly in his presence I marveled at this revelation.

God is my life coach. He challenges me to be the best I can be while gently guiding me in truth. To remain accountable all I have to do is…

Living in His presence naturally creates a pattern of healthy, good, positive responses.

Jesus said in John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

What is He speaking to your heart today? How is He coaching you? I would love to hear from you.

Have you ever had your mind and heart set on a dream only for God to take you down a completely different path in your life?

I had this happen about 5 years ago.  I started going back to school to get a Masters Degree in Counseling.  I knew without question at a very early age I wanted to help others in this field.  While going back to college I was diagnosed with cancer, and my life took a completely different turn, as you can only imagine.  Immediately I went from pursuing my dream to become a licensed counselor to fighting for my life to stay alive.  Looking back over what took place, I can’t help but almost laugh at how true God’s word is.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”  Proverbs 19:21

When I set out to get my degree in counseling, I never in my wildest dreams would of thought that God would use my life to minister to others about His unfailing grace, mercy and miraculous love for us.  Who in the world would of thought that while training to run a half-marathon 6 months after waking up from my coma I would discover the deepest desire of my heart, coaching?  Even though I had no desire to become a “running coach”, God revealed to me that I could be a spiritual coach.  As a Women’s Christian Life Coach I get to love, encourage and motivate others just as my running coaches did for me.  Now today, 5 years later I have the privilege of coaching women daily around the world as we seek God together and build deeper intimate relationships with Christ!

My hope and prayer for you today is that even if you are questioning which direction your life is heading, that you too will trust the scripture and know without question that God’s purpose for you life will prevail!  Leave a comment today and share where you are in your life plans and what God is revealing to you.

Are YOU Living Fully Alive?

My one question?  

Last week I had the honor of meeting and hearing the incredibly talented best-selling author, frequent radio and television guest, and one of the country’s most sought after inspirational and motivational speakers Ken Davis.  He spoke on his book Fully Alive, A Journey that Will Change Your Life.  As I sat in the audience in awe of his story, tears flooded my face.  I encountered a life changing moment that evening.  I finally understood why it is so important for everyone to share his or her life stories.  The stories of what God has or is accomplishing in our lives.

While Ken was speaking, the Holy Spirit spoke precisely to me, as well as to so many others in the audience.  Something transpires when we hear what God has done in a life; a unique message is tailored to our soul.  And once a message penetrates the heart, everything can change in a blink of an eye.  For me personally, listening to Ken’s story gave me two very specific reasons for why I am still alive today.  One is to actually live life Fully Alive!!.…Embrace life, love life, and experience life!  Another reason why I’m still here today is to know God’s love by sharing and receiving it with others every single day!

Here’s something Ken wrote in his book Fully Alive that I absolutely love!  “Beyond friendship, beyond physical health, life itself depends on being loved and giving love.  Those who do not know this vital connection do not know life.  They are hollow shells of existence waiting to experience the real essence of living fully alive.”

How are you living your life?  Are you just going through the motions or are you really living Fully Alive?  If you’re ready to change your life or you need motivation, I highly recommend reading Fully Alive (click here) because it is a journey that will change your life!  Leave a comment today on what living Fully Alive means to you.

To watch day 2 of my Vlog click here.

Recently I did something pretty crazy or audacious, as my Pastor would say.  Last October during my quiet time, preparing for bible study, God lead me to a 40-day juice fast.  Let me be completely honest here, I had never completed a 24 hour fast of any kind.  I’ve always overlooked the fasting thing in the bible because personally it was something I really did not want to do.  I know that’s not making me look too great as a “Christian Life Coach” but I’m just being real with you.  The truth is we all have certain things that we want to ignore and pretend it doesn’t apply to our life.

Well, that particular morning, I was trying extremely hard to ignore God’s prompting so I actually starting arguing with him.  This is how it went down.  As I was reading scripture, I got that gentle nudge in my spirit that said 40 day juice fast.  I sat in my chair and literally looked up at the ceiling and spoke out loud, are You serious?  No food, just juice for 40 days?  I shook my head and headed to the kitchen to pour myself a nice cup of hot coffee and while I was walking back to my chair I started complaining.  “There is no way in creation that I can go 40 long days without chewing any food.  No way, no how, can I do that.  Forget it.”  And then I heard Him again (not audible, of course), if I can’t trust you with food, how can I trust you with people?  I immediately tossed my hands in the air and said, ok fine you got me!  My life is about reaching women with the love of Christ through coaching, writing and speaking so this was a big eye opener.

Luke 16:10 reads, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much…”  Don’t you hate it when scripture backs up the truth you were so hoping to avoid?  You know I’m just kidding, but heck 40 days was more than I wanted to bite off…LOL!

Today I want to encourage you that you can be trusted with more.  I want to challenge you to stop ignoring God’s promptings and embrace the truth.  Why, because the Holy Spirit lives inside you and if you press past your fears and seek His constant presence in everyday life, I promise you all things are possible.

What has God been prompting you to do lately?  Did you avoid it or embrace it?  Leave your commits on my blog today!
