Prevail

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.
