How do you see Jesus? When you close your eyes, how do you visualize our teacher, our Rabbi, our healer, our friend, our King, our deliverer, our Savior?
For as long as I can remember when I think about being in the presence of Jesus, I see us walking together outside and taking time to sit down for an intimate conversation. He’s in a soft white robe. He has a radiance about him. Often times he takes me in his arms and hugs me with an indescribable love. His smile speaks a thousand words. It’s contagious. His eyes sparkle with joy, compassion, gentleness, and excitement. It’s like I’m looking into a deep sea of love.
When I’m with Jesus I feel loved. He is proud of me. He is overjoyed with every detail about me. I am perfect when I’m with him. I don’t need to change anything about me. When I’m settled in this place with Jesus, I am the most confident. I don’t question my value, my worth, my abilities, my purpose, or my life.
In the presence of Jesus, I rest.
It’s vital in growing our relationship with Christ that we take time to intentionally connect with Him visually, that we see Him with the eyes of our heart. Ephesians 1:18 tells us, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people”. This gives me unshakable confidence in myself and my identity when I see Him through the eyes of my heart.
I want to invite you today to set a timer for five minutes, close your eyes and spend time with Jesus. Be sure to have a journal nearby so you can write down anything you see or hear Him speaking to you. This is a great way to begin dialoging with God. And even if this is something that you’ve never done before or you think it’s not for you, I challenge you to go for it! You just might be surprised how Jesus shows up. He’s ready to meet with you friend. Enjoy building a deeper intimate relationship with Christ!

It’s that time of year when we start thinking “next year” I’m going to loose weight, go to the gym, eat healthy, get organized, start a new career …. you fill in the blank. We think about what’s next and how we can improve.
Today I want to share with you the ONLY GOAL we really need in order to achieve all those other goals on our list and I believe this 5,000% in my heart to be true. Before I share my secret I want us to look at the The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13 NKJV
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
I want to focus in on verse 8, “and the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.” The lamp oil represents spiritual preparation. Our relationship with God (spiritual preparation) cannot be borrowed or bought. It is up to us individually to build our relationship with the Lord. It is vital that we take time to earnestly know God, like our best friend. That we truly have an intimate personal relationship with Jesus.
Let’s be honest, while all of our new years goals are important to us and we always want to improve ourselves, the truth is we never know when our last breath will be. We do not know when we will meet the Lord face to face. And no matter what, when we meet Him we do not want to hear “I do not know you.”
I want to commission you and challenge you to make your #1 goal for 2019 to be your relationship with the Lord.

5 Excellent Benefits to Experience Coaching:
1) Clarify your values, goals and purpose.
I believe we must have a clear direction for our life. We are so easily distracted by our fast pace lifestyles that it is easy to have a blurred vision of where we want to go or what we really want to change in our life. Coaching will give you clarity to identify your values, goals and purpose.
2) Balance
I believe in order to find a balance in our lives we must remove energy drainers. Sometimes it’s hard to identify on our own what is really draining us on a daily basis. Once we remove these obstacles we can naturally achieve more balance in our life.
3) Perseverance
I believe to have the ability to sustain our goals we need a plan that is simple to repeat to keep us moving forward. Perseverance is all about the baby steps!
4) Accountability
I believe it is so much easier to accomplish goals when we are accountable to someone. Making a commitment to someone other than ourself typically gives us just enough fuel to keep moving forward to achieve great things.
5) Prevent Backsliding
I believe we will encounter unexpected challenges. When we do not get the support we need it is so easy to postpone or delay our goals. The accountability you receive during coaching will prevent backsliding and give you enough stamina to persevere in moving forward in your goals.

The Write Release Journaling Workshops: Your pen … Your paper … Your legacy
In 2007 my mother-in-law Judy passed away from a long battle with cancer. Everyone who met her felt like they had been in the presence of an angel. She always gave her full attention and listening ear to the person in front of her. Her compassion and unconditional love radiated in every word she spoke. The one word that fully describes who she was is selfless. She was the real hands and feet of Christ.
Judy left behind many things for us, but the most precious gift were her words written on paper. In her very own handwriting we can read at anytime how much she loved us. Her journal is priceless. No amount of money can buy someone’s dreams, thoughts, struggles, fears, faith, etc. – their heart. Journaling was a safe retreat for her to freely express herself. She learned about who she was and who God was in her life.
During her final days as I sat beside her bed examining her delicate fingers pondering all the blessings her hands provided, I was not sure why at the time I was so enthralled with such a seemly small part of an amazing woman. It wasn’t until I sat and read the words she had penned with them. Her journal expressed her everyday life … a gift for her and a gift for us.
Will you join me in the significant release that comes through guided journaling? It is powerful, it is authentic, and it is life changing. It is Judy’s legacy passed to you.

What clients are saying about working with Linda Kuhar~
“Upon first speaking with Linda on our introductory call, I found her to be completely genuine, attentive, and focused on what I was concerned with and how she could best assist me in reaching my goals. Linda made me feel completely comfortable speaking about anything, which is something needed when trying to get to some of those root problems. Throughout my sessions with Linda, she would always check in on me, encouraging me with daily devotions, and also give me some assignments which she held me accountable. I was very thankful for her accountability, as discipline is not something I am the best at. I looked forward to my weekly sessions with Linda, as I could tell my work with her was helping me become stronger each week. Not only is Linda positive and encouraging, but she is honest, and encourages you to be honest with yourself and do some self-examination. I am truly thankful to Linda for taking the time to help me through some things, and I thank God for bringing her into my life, just when I needed it.” Sara W., VA
“Linda is amazing! She’s genuine, the real deal! In each call you can hear it in her voice how much she genuinely cares & has a deep desire to help. She’s positive & uplifting, encouraging & supportive. Linda will even be the first to tell you that it all comes from God & not her, that she is God’s vessel being used by him to bring his words to you.” Tricia D., IN
“I gained clarity about my talents and priorities, and was able to regain a sense of serenity, which is priceless! I am so grateful that Linda was able to walk with me through a challenging time with kindness, empathy and humor.” Cassie C., NJ
“Linda has been an inspiration in my life. Her ability to genuinely love others shows in her communication and presence. She gives me undivided attention, by listening and never judging. Her words of wisdom are inspiring and motivating.” Steph K., NC
“What a blessing and an honor it has been to meet Linda. She helped me define, establish and finish some goals that were very important to me. What we accomplished in our sessions, were priceless information and Christian guidance that genuinely helped me finish 3 of my 4 goals. My fourth goal is an ongoing goal, and she helped me come full circle in my own decisions on how to make it happen.” Cathy F., TX
“I was not looking for a Life Coach. To be honest, I had no clue what a Life Coach was, let alone a Christian Life Coach. It was by circumstance and God’s blessing that I found Linda. What better way to heal and move forward than feeding yourself spiritually so you can then mentally and physically align yourself with what God has planned for your life. Linda, through God’s leading helped me step outside of situations and not get stuck in the pit that was calling my name. I love Linda’s gentle ways, her love for the Lord and her genuine heart that seeks to help others reach their God-given potential.” Trish C., NY
“I am so thankful God led me to Linda. Coaching is exactly what I needed at a desperate time in my life. I just felt so stuck and held back. Linda asked questions that had me digging deeper and she was always so encouraging and had me pressing forward always pointing me to Jesus. My time with her has been so special and I have a new excitement and passion for life.” Bethany G., PA
“Linda was a delight to work with by phone sessions as I prepared for a first time speaking presentation for 150 women at a church brunch. Once I prepared my content, Linda helped me fine tune it. Her insights on how to connect with an audience were invaluable. She helped me see God’s “big picture” of my speaking presentation so I could relax and take my eyes off myself, and truly minister to the women in the audience. The event was a huge success. Not just because my content was valuable, but because Linda helped me communicate in a way that reached women’s hearts.” Kay Long, AZ
“I love that after praying for a Christian Coach for a year God led me to you. I am amazed how he has knit us together, the bond we share and how this journey has brought me closer to Him. You have taken me so far this year in my journey with God. I accept your invitation to join you on the next leg of this journey. I’m looking forward to it.”Randi R., NY
“Sometimes the details of life get overwhelming. In these moments you need a compassionate heart and the words of God spoken into your situation. Linda has been granted these gifts and she displays them with grace and charm. My walk with Christ has changed completely while working with Linda. Not in a way I expected but in a way truly needed.” Joline D., MN
“I am so thankful that God directed my path to Linda Kuhar. I’m a pretty organized, type A, driven person and wasn’t real sure what benefit I would get from a Coach, but I was feeling restless in my business and knew that wasn’t a good place to be. For me, this was a great investment in money and time. Knowing that I was dealing with a “like minded” individual who was praying with me and for my business gave me the confidence that God was going to show me what to do next by clearing a path to move forward, or shutting a door where I shouldn’t go. Linda listened to what I was sharing and would point out different areas that she heard I may need to focus on or think about. I spent 4 weeks being coached by Linda and through her God shared “nuggets” that will last a lifetime.” Melanie S., FL
I’m excited to announce that on October 23 I will be hosting The Write Release Journaling workshop!

As a 42-year-old woman I can honestly say I’ve spent at least half of my life or more attempting to find ways to be “healthy”. Like most people I start something new and think I’m going to stick with itthis time and then fall off the wagon at some point and find myself at square one all over again.
On top of all the try again stop again yo-yoing; I end up feeling bad about myself while negative self-talk and defeating thoughts begin to weigh me down.
Can you relate?
But something dawned on my recently after a spiritual retreat I hosted. For the last twenty plus years I’ve practiced one healthy habit through ever trial, heartache, triumph and victory that has consistently brought me to better health. And with this practice I can honestly say I would not be the person I am today without it. It’s something that I don’t do every single day of my life, but it is something I reach for in times of deep struggle, frustration, anxiety and in times of reflection, hope, prayer, planning and dreaming.
The one healthy habit that continues to change my life and has for years is journaling.
There is no specific way to journal, it’s simply picking up a pen and putting it to paper. It can be one word or hundreds of words. You simply let your heart, mind and emotions lead you. I want to encourage you that even if you’re someone who does not like to write, you must give it a try!
I promise this is one new healthy habit that will propel you forward beyond anything you can imagine. Grab a journal and pen today!
I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment and let me know one of your healthy habits.

If you are ready to make this year be Your Yearof Consistency with health, food, exercise, relationships or career sign up for my newly released Healthy Lifestyle Coaching package.
As another year comes to an end I like to spend a little time intentionally reflecting on the past year. It’s good medicine for the soul.
It creates gratitude.
It’s a gift I like to give myself.
Either I’ll carve out a day to get away to a quiet place or I’ll take a little time each morning for a few days to reflect.
Just a few months ago for my 40th birthday I connected with a group of girlfriends for a nice dinner but instead of having any old conversation we focused our time together on thoughtful questions to ponder.
It was a beautiful purposeful evening filled with intention I treasure.
As your Christian Life Coach I want to encourage you to schedule a time of reflection, maybe even today?
When reflecting, I like to take out my journal and write down all the sacred simple moments I encountered throughout the year.
Now I know how easy it is for our minds to go to that place of ugh!!!! I wish I would of, should of, or could of this year, but that’s not what this is about. This is a time to give yourself a {hug & a bit of love}.
Okay sweet friend?
So today I invite you to spend some time of reflection with me in the comments below. I’ll leave the first comment.
From my heart to yours, thank you for being a part of my blog community. You are a gift to me!
*EVERYONE who comments will be entered to WIN a signed copy of A Confident Heart by Renee Swope. Winner announced next week!
