It’s Truly a Miracle!

Posted on by

What were you doing six years ago today?

I remember it all too well. Six years ago is when this miracle journey began.

I am so AMAZED & GRATEFUL that I have you, this blog community, to love, encourage and inspire one another. When I was diagnosed with cancer I prayed to have more time on earth to share the love of Christ with others and that is what I get to do here!

Today I want us to share our gratitude to God for all the miracles in our life in this very moment!

I am grateful that I get to make this video and talk with you, that I’m training for a half marathon, for my health, that I can breathe on my own without assistance from a machine and most of all the Gift of Life!

Week 1 – Setting Your Goal

Posted on by

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

SMART-Goals

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!!!

Are “they” Really That Important?

Posted on by

girlinfield

What will “they” think?

Will “they” like me?

Will “they” approve of me?

Will “they” reject me?

Will “they” love me?

Will “they” hate me?

Will “they” agree with me?

Will “they” disagree with me?

“They” can keep me up at night, tossing and turning, trying to figure out what “they” think.

Every time that darn insecurity bug bites me it sends me into the crazy land of “they”.

Obsessing over what “they” think about me.

Have you ever struggled with such ridiculous thinking?

A few weeks ago when I was talking with my therapist (and yes I have a therapist and a life coach … there’s a big difference between the two) I came up with a great idea on how to protect myself from being consumed with “they”, aka other people’s opinions about me.

Sitting on her big comfy couch my therapist asked me to describe who I was. Not who everyone else says I am, but who I truly am as a 40-year old woman.

As tears trickled down my cheeks I could feel myself becoming lighter, more vibrate, and full of life as I expressed the beautiful unique person that God created.

I am compassionate, loving, strong, courageous, beautiful, giving …

As I expressed the truth from my heart I envisioned all the opinions of others bouncing off of me. 

All opinions, all words … good, bad, indifferent, kind, mean, shocking, thoughtful …. None of the words were able to land on me. They just bounced off of me.

Instead of allowing those words to penetrate my soul and take root, I was filled with who God says I am, the absolute pure truth.

I decided that day that those are the only words that are allowed to consume me. I don’t need words to puff my ego up and tell me how good I am and I certainly don’t need words to tear me down.

Now I’m not saying we should not receive words of love and compassion from others. By all means we are made for relationship and expressing thoughtful words to one another. This is part of the beautiful gift of life we live.

What I am saying is that we must guard our hearts before allowing anything to come in. Make sure the words that are spoken align with who God says we are before opening ourselves up to every thought, word, or opinion that comes our way.

Proverbs 4:32 says it beautifully, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it”.

Have you struggled with opinions from others before? I would love to hear from you in the comments below. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Winner announced Feb. 28.

Journal with God: Write in your journal all the words that have been hurting your heart. Maybe even the people who have said those words to you. Then ask God to reveal His truth to you. Write down who God says’ you are, the beautiful truth.

How Your Core Values Keep You Accountable {and a giveaway!}

Posted on by

It’s so exciting to see how great everyone is doing on accountability this month. I love hearing from you. Thank you for all your emails. Your motivation keeps me motivated!

On a recent blog post I wrote, “Accountability oozes from our core values”. For example one of my core values is honesty. Because honesty is a core value of mine, when I tell someone I will do something, that means I will do it. That is why accountability works when it’s connected to my core values.

There are hundreds of core values. I would love to hear what your core values are in the comments below. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Winner announced Feb. 28.

Here’s a list of core values to select from (but not limited to): Love, Obedience, Patience, Quality, Security, Inspiring Others, Family, Accomplishment, Trust, Recognition, Peace, Mentoring, Wellness, Loyalty, Service, Honesty, Humor, Integrity, Faith, Fun, Respect, Persistence, Community, Creativity, Encouragement, Order, Nurturing, Excellence, Courage, Honor, Joy, Authenticity, Elegance.

Journal with God: Write in your journal all of your core values. Reflect on the many ways God has used these values throughout your life as a gift to you and to serve others.

How I Used Being Embarrassed To My Advantage

Posted on by

embarrass

Hot flushed face. Sweaty palms. Shaky voice. Embarrassment.

We’ve all been there. Whether we did it to ourselves or someone else is to blame.

Isn’t it the worst?

We do everything in our power to avoid feeling embarrassed. Whether it’s making sure we are not the only one walking into the party alone or giving excuses as to why Susie Q is dressed the way she is.

Just thinking about being embarrassed for half a second makes my stomach churn.

But what if we could use embarrassment to our advantage?

When I was training for my very first half-marathon with Team In Training, I learned how embarrassment could actually become my friend instead of that dreadful nemesis.

I was committed to raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphomas Society so I asked for donations from all my friends and family to support me.

After sending out a ton of letters I realized there was no turning back. I was stuck! I had to follow through with my commitment; otherwise I was going to be completely embarrassed.

No matter how tuff training got I refused to give up. People had donated money to support me. My hands were tied. There was no way, no how I was going to be a quitter. I wanted to honor my word and of course their money!

By putting myself out there, to the point of embarrassment actually worked to my advantage. It kept me motivated. It kept me accountable. And procrastination was nowhere on the radar.

From this experience I learned a simple tool that keeps me accountable today.

Social accountability.

When I really want to achieve a goal, I will put myself out there every time. I will announce it to the world, even though it makes me want to throw up at first!

But hey, it works! It keeps me accountable.

Social accountability pushes me out of my comfort zone and soaring into great results.

I want to challenge you today friend.

What goal are you ready to achieve? You know the one that makes you a little queasy when you think about it.

I’d love to hear about it. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God.

Need…?

kkimpel

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8

No matter how hard I try to turn over complete control of my life to God, I inevitably manage to hold onto one little tiny shred of it.  Especially when it comes to letting go of control over my future.  I go from needing answers in black and white to somehow “fully relying on God”.  To be completely honest, I struggle with staying committed to turning to the Lord for my every need.  Today I want to ask you a few questions.

What is your biggest need right now? 

What areas are you struggling in? 

Where do you need encouragement in your life?

Will you take a leap of faith and share with me your needs today?

~I want to know how I can best encourage you!~

Blessed by Lysa TerKeurst & Renee Swope

Posted on by

This week I had the privilege of spending a little time talking with Lysa TerKeurst and Renee Swope.  I walked away with a wealth of perspective on leadership in ministry!  I knew right away I wanted to share with you some of the great insights I gained from talking with these two remarkable leaders from Proverbs 31 Ministries.

I asked Lysa and Renee what was one of the most valuable lessons they had learned from leadership?

Renee shared there are three seasons in her life.  NO. GO. SLOW.  This is so true.  For example, at different times in our life God will specifically tell us NO even when we “think” it should be yes.  Or often when we are afraid to take that next step and would rather stay in our comfort zone, that’s when He comes through loud and clear and tells us to GO.  Other times we can be running so fast that we might lose sight of where God really wants us and that’s when He whispers, it’s time to SLOW down.  Listening to Renee talk about the different seasons in her ministry gave me sense of relief and opened my eyes to see which season I’m in right now.  Renee and Lysa both shared unique stories about the different seasons throughout their ministry.  As I was listening, I realized it takes all three seasons to grow a ministry because ultimately God is the One in control and at work anyway.

Lysa shared that she often approaches God with the question, “What is my assignment for today Lord?”  I absolutely love this question because it challenges us to look at today only.  As a Christian Life Coach, I’m frequently encouraging my clients to focus on one day at a time.  It is written in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Lysa turned the statement of one day at a time into a coaching question in her dialog with the Lord.  As I left our conversation, I could hardly wait for the next morning to start my day journaling with this powerful question, “What is my assignment for today Lord?”  After processing where God was leading me for the day, I realized how much unneeded pressure lifted from my spirit.  I was able to focus and trust that I was exactly where I needed to be that day to accomplish the ministry work He has called me to.  This is now one of my favorite ways to start my day, and an excellent tool to share with others.

I want to wrap up this post by saying THANK YOU to Proverbs 31 Ministries leaders Lysa TerKeurst and Renee Swope for consistently providing encouragement, confidence and guidance to women all over the world who are building a personal relationship with Christ.  If you have not visited the Proverbs 31 Ministries website, I highly recommend you to check it out and sign up to receive their daily devotionals.  You will be blessed and inspired every single day!

Thank you to all my readers for allowing me the opportunity to share life with you!  As always, I would love to hear from you.  Please leave a comment below.
