The Presence of Jesus

Posted on by

Do you go into “task mode” during your quiet time?

Do you consider reading scripture, devotionals or Christian books your personal connection with Jesus?

It’s important for us to also sit quietly with Jesus and soak in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

As a Christian Life Coach I continually redirect my clients to Jesus and their relationship with him. I believe our connection and intimacy with Jesus is the number one relationship in our lives.

What to do for Quiet Time

Posted on by

JesusCallingPic Do you ever struggle with what to do in your quiet time or where to begin reading the bible? Reading the Jesus Calling Devotional is one of my favorite places to connect with God. I often encourage my clients to begin their quiet time with reading the Jesus Calling devotional. It takes just a few minutes. At the bottom of each devotion there are scripture verses to look up. You can simply read the verse or you can read the chapter. Spending time with God requires two things: our desire and consistency. As a Christian Life Coach I want to challenge you to start today and step into a deeper relationship with Jesus immediately.

A Talk with God & a Giveaway

Posted on by

beach2

Standing at the kitchen sink feeling anxious about my day ahead I thought to myself why do I always end up back in the same place? Nervous, insecure, intimidated …

I hate all those yucky feelings. No matter what I’ve overcome in life, these thoughts nag at me almost daily.

And then He spoke.

Not audible, just that deep knowing rushed through me.

Stop looking inward and start looking upward.

I sighed with relief. That’s it, that’s why I feel so tense and worried.

When I’m feeling emotionally off balance it is because my thoughts have become all about me … How am I going to do it all? What if I make a mistake? What if I’m not good enough?

Thinking about that day’s responsibilities I asked myself, “What is your purpose for doing all of these things? Is it for you or for God?”

Hmmm. That was a bit of a gut check.

So often we set out to do good for God and then somehow it gets twisted and tangled up and becomes about us.

That is never my intention …. for life to become all about me.

My true desire and I’m sure it’s yours too, is to live a life honoring and pleasing to God.

So that morning as I walked away from the kitchen I looked up to God with my hands over my heart and prayed, Lord today I choose to look towards you.

And amazingly after that short conversation with God my emotions were no longer frazzled. I was at complete peace. Centered, focused and ready for the day ahead.

So what’s got you feeling a little frazzled? Take a moment and look to God. What is he speaking to your heart?

Everyone who comments will be entered to win my favorite devotional, Jesus Calling by Sarah Young!

What Are You Hoping For?

Posted on by

hope

Are you hoping this school year will be the best yet for your kids?

Are you hoping to get ahead financially?

Are you hoping you’ll get your act together and take better care of yourself?

Are you hoping for that promotion?

Every single day we are hoping, hoping, hoping. Do you agree?

Even if it’s for those little things like getting a front row parking spot at the grocery store or not having to wait in line forever at Target to make a return, we are constantly hoping.

So what are you doing with all those hopes? And better yet what do you do while waiting on them to be answered?

Do you fret, worry, and complain if they are not immediately answered? Or do you get angry, bitter or even resentful?

I came across a verse this morning that caused me to pause and do a little bit of soul-searching.

“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25

Yikes! That one little word, patiently is what caused me to take a really big breath and reflect on all that I’ve been hoping for the past few months.

Lord knows I have been anything but patient! If anything I could replace it with controlling, obsessing and pretty much just freaking out.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that gets a little loopty loo when it comes to waiting?

All I can say is thank God for grace. No matter how I act or behave His love is the same yesterday, today and forever. Can I get an Amen for Jesus?

So what are you hoping for? What will you do if you have to wait? Will you tuck away Romans 8:25 in your heart as a reminder?

Lord, we come to you today and lay our hopes at your feet as we wait patiently and faithfully. In Jesus Name we pray~

What Are You Thinking About?

Posted on by

psalm11824.jpg

What have you been thinking about today?

Have you thought about what a kind genuine person you are?

Or how much you continue to influence others with your insightful words of encouragement?

Are you thinking about the ways you have impacted countless souls you’ve encountered over a lifetime?

Or maybe you just might be thinking how proud you are of yourself for pushing through and not giving up on that last goal?

I want to remind you today that you are what you think about. Thinking these types of positive thoughts have never come natural to me. And it wasn’t until I began meditating on God’s word day and night (Joshua 1:8) that it slowly started to transform my mind.

I tell my 13 year-old daughter all the time, what goes in must come out.

What is going into your mind? What are you reading and who are listening to? What thoughts do you continuously mull over in your mind?

We recently finished up a sermon series at my church “Your Verse” and we learned about how just one simple verse has the potential to change your life. I encourage you to search for that one simple truth in the bible and make it “Your Verse” to lean on throughout your day.

My favorite verse I speak in the mornings {especially when I’m having a hard time} is Psalm 118:24 “This the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

I want to challenge you to start choosing what you think about. Leave a comment below and let me know what you are thinking about today 🙂

Experience Coaching Here

Posted on by

bobolink

Hello Beautiful Friends!

I hope your summer is going super fantastic so far and you are able to enjoy some vacation time with your loved ones.

Many times I get asked questions about my coaching business and what exactly I offer, so today I thought I’d share a little bit with you here. Maybe this is something you might be interested in or possibly it would be a great resource for your friends and family. I love referrals from my awesome readers, so please share. Here’s a little taste of the coaching experience below.

Everyone needs a Coach!

Why?

To get us out of our comfort zone, take action and follow through on our passions that are buried deep within us. A Coach will challenge and hold you accountable to be the best person you can possible be.

Often, without a coach we end up living humdrum stagnate lives just going through the motions day in and day out.

We have all asked ourselves “Why am I here? Is this all there is to life?” But most of the time we just settle back into our routine and never really push ourselves to find out why we are here and how to begin living fully alive.

I will coach you to discover God’s purpose for your life, immediately start living and loving COURAGEOUSLY while learning how to push through resistance. This my friend is called Living the Wholehearted Life.

If you are ready to move forward, I want to coach you!

The focus of our sessions will be centered around:

1. Where am I now?

2. Where am I going?

3. How will I get there?

4. What might get in the way?

Side note, this is not easy work, but I promise the reward is worth it! Here’s what one client had to say…

“When I started working with Linda, I couldn’t really define my goals for coaching. I knew I was feeling overwhelmed and a bit scattered. One of the first things I did was take spiritual gifts assessment. This was my first step in getting some real focus. I realized that I was committed to a number of things that were not bringing me joy, but instead were draining my energy. Over several weeks I gained clarity about my talents and priorities, and was able to regain a sense of serenity, which is priceless!” Cassie C., NJ

Clients who are successful working with me tend to have these qualities:

1. Motivation

2. Desire

3. Commitment

4. Fear (It’s normal to feel afraid when starting something new!)

If you have these four qualities, you are ready to embrace a more passionate wholehearted YOU by beginning the coaching process.

What does each session include? Every woman is different and moving through a unique season of life. Therefore each session is uniquely created to meet her needs.

A typical Coaching Session will include 10 Significant Steps to guide you towards living a passionate wholehearted life:

1.   Begin with prayer ~ I will lead us in prayer by inviting God into each session and asking for His guidance.

2.   Discuss Client Prep Form ~ We will review where you are, and where you want to be in order to achieve your goals.

3.   Client/Coach dialog ~ This is where the rubber meets the road. We will dig deep to bring self-awareness and focus on what it means for you to live wholeheartedly.

4.   Coaching questions ~ As your coach, I will ask you the tough questions that many people around you may be afraid to ask.

5.   Brainstorming ~ Ideas are not just born from your coach. We will discuss together what it means for you to be successful in this program.

6.   Consider possible obstacles ~ Roadblocks, you will have them, they do exist, and there can be a lot of them. I will teach you the tools to remove them and move forward. Often clients use these tools in other areas of their life.

7.   Create an action plan ~ We will agree upon an action plan.

8.   Discuss accountability plan ~ Accountability is the heart of the Coach/Client relationship.

9.   Explore possible assignments between sessions ~ Homework. Depending on your unique situation there may be some assignments that will be done between our sessions.

10. End with prayer ~ As we complete our session, we will praise God. (I do not ask my clients to pray out loud unless they prefer.)

The Secret to Miracles

Posted on by

miraclesbloom.jpg

Last week I wrote about living this summer with intention, and so far so good.

I love living with intention!! It’s making a big difference. I hope it is for you too.

I’ve already had some time in the sun with my daughter laughing and playing in the pool and we actually pulled out an old game a few nights ago after dinner. It was amazing to see the difference in our mood that evening. We all seemed a little lighter.

We have been laughing a lot more lately too!

I would like to give all the credit to “being intentional” however that’s not where the credit is due.

A few weeks ago, I started praying for my family. Not some long eloquent profound prayers, just sincere prayers from my heart.

And guess what?

The more I pray, the more I see God answering.

We’ve all heard it time and time again that there is power in prayer, but do we really live our daily lives believing the REAL POWER in prayer?

I really believe with every ounce of me that prayer is the fertile soil where miracles bloom.

This week I want to challenge you to step up your prayer life. What is your heart longing for? What needs to change in your life or in a loved ones life that only God can do?

Seek the Lord with all your heart and expect to see miracles today. That’s why Jesus came, so that we may have life and enjoy it to the fullest.

“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!” Luke 17:6 NIV

Pray in faith today sweet Sisters. He is waiting for you.

I love hearing from you. Leave a comment below.

A Prayer for Fleshly

Posted on by

hide.jpg

Its time for me to introduce someone I’m quit embarrassed about.

Her name is Fleshly, she is my flesh.

When I get offended, angry or hurt Fleshly might appear out of nowhere to do her thing.

She’s quite the sight to see!

Actually she’s very self-centered and leaves me feeling mortified every time she visits.

She might yell a few ungodly words ranting and raving in her self-righteousness or give you the silent treatment while scheming ways to prove she is right.

Either way, she’s someone I would NEVER EVER want you to see.

The only thing the world needs to see is a snapshot of my picture perfect life, not the real stuff that would disqualify me as a “Christian Life Coach”. Right?

So I thought I would share with you today that I’m not perfect. Of course none of us are perfect but sometimes we compare ourselves with what appears to be perfect.

In the middle of “Fleshly” acting out this week, I reached a breaking point. You know that point where there’s only one place left to go…your knees. While on my knees, this prayer formed in my heart.

If you struggle with a “Fleshly” in your life, I invite you to pray this with me.

If you need prayer, I would love to pray for you. Leave me a comment below.

I will have a few coaching appointments opening up the beginning of June. I want to encourage you that there is hope and a new way of life through Christian Life Coaching. ((hugs))
