Can we really Expect Miracles?

Posted on October 8, 2015 by lkuhar

Do I have to keep training? The marathon is just around the corner, it is soooo close. But some days it’s hard to keep on keeping on. Every day I have to make an intentional decision: train or slack off.

Today I chose to persevere and stay strong.

Tuesday I talked with you about Expect Miracles from the JESUS acronym in my book: Just Live Today, Expect Miracles, Speak Truth, Use Your Gifts, Start Now!

When we think about Expecting Miracles, it really goes back to our mindset. For example, when you wake up each day do you automatically think how can I get through the day and try to find something to be positive about or do you wake up with an expectant mindset … expecting to notice the miracles in your life?

What would it be like if you went through an entire 24 hours expecting miracles all around you?

Let’s take a minute and look around at the miracles right now in front of us. It is a miracle we are alive and breathing! It is a miracle that it is raining! It is a miracle that we have a beautiful world that surrounds us!

When will we shift our perspective from just getting through the day to looking at life expectantly? I know from personal experience that when I live life expectantly my day turns out completely different, full of hope … full of excitement … full of miracles!

Leave a comment and let me know what miracles are you expecting in your life?

I know that six years ago today I was asleep in a coma and my family and friends were believing and expecting God for a miracle. And through their faith and prayers God delivered a miracle! What miracle are you expecting from God today?

What it Takes to Get Back Up

Posted on October 3, 2015 by lkuhar

This week I had a chance to see my hero, Brene Brown! If you don’t know who she is you MUST check out her work (here). Her new book Rising Strong is rocking my world. Her subtitle alone is enough to stop you in your tracks. “If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. This is a book about what it takes to get back up.”

Honestly, when we go after our goals it is all about learning how to get back up after we fall. When we embrace the truth, that we are not going to do it perfectly and that we will make mistakes along the way, half the battle is won.

For example, one of my goals for the 12 weeks of coaching series was to post a blog every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday … well I am falling. I am not going to be able to post every Saturday moving forward due to my upcoming book release. Part of my fall was over committing to a very full schedule. However, that’s not going to stop me from moving forward in my goals. I will continue to blog twice a week, train for my half marathon and work on my book release.

Let me know where you’ve fallen down in your goal and will you continue to pick yourself back up and keep moving forward?

When You Are Struggling

Posted on October 1, 2015 by lkuhar

I feel like I want to quit so bad this week! Do you ever feel this way?

After running my longest run of the season I’ve been struggling with my mindset. It is totally crazy because I actually did very well on my 8 mile run.

For some reason I’m wrestling with a negative mindset and keep questioning myself … Can I really do this? Am I really strong enough?

And then I go to a long list of “what ifs” …. What if I get an injury? What if I don’t finish the half marathon?

Have you ever done this? Worrying about the future and not living in the present moment?

Earlier this week I shared with you about Chapter 13 in my book Just Live Today. Honestly some days I can live in the moment and embrace what’s right here in front of me and then there are other days, like today, when I struggle feeling overwhelmed, stressed out and insecure about all kinds of things worrying about the future.

As much as I would like to tell you I’ve got it all figured out and I Just Live Today perfectly that simply is not true. Life is a balancing act. When you think about balancing, it does not mean that you are perfectly steady but that you are still slightly juggling things to keep the balance. I like to tell my clients, “Life is about progress, not perfection”.

Leave me a comment and let me know if you are struggling to Just Live Today and live in the moment? If not tell me what you are doing to stay live in the present.

Bad Habits to New Habits

Posted on September 22, 2015 by lkuhar

I’m inviting you to pray this today: “Search the inner depths of my heart and expose anything that is not of You so I can be set free of it.” Excerpt from Stormie Omartian’s book The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage.

What do you need to be set free from?

In my quiet time I was reading Psalm 5:11-12 and part of it reads “Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.” All of a sudden my eyes were opened to a “bad” habit I have. I have a habit of not being joyful, instead I have a habit of anxious thoughts and worrying.

I’ve decided I want to create a new habit of gratitude, thankful and joy filled thoughts to replace my bad habit of anxious and worried thoughts.

Let me know what “bad” habit you have and what new habit you can replace it with?

*I will be announcing giveaway WINNER next Tuesday, be sure to leave a comment to be entered to win The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

A Simple Tip to Overcome Stress

Posted on September 15, 2015 by lkuhar

When you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed with your schedule what can you do to get rid of that tension?

One trick I’ve shared with my coaching clients over the past few years is an acronym I created called S.L.O.W.

Stop … stop what you are doing.
Listen … listen to your surroundings, to your heart, to God. What is it telling you?
Obey … be obedient in what you just heard.
Walk … put it into action, do it now.

Today when I was feeling overwhelmed I asked myself what can I do to stop feeling this way? Immediately I knew I needed to S.L.O.W. down.

Leave me a comment and let me know if there is anything you are feeling overwhelmed with today & be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

Living in God’s presence will shift you from being stressed to stressed-less. Check out Tracie Mile’s Stressed-less Living bible study here!

War Room

Posted on September 8, 2015 by lkuhar

Have you seen War Room? Confession: I went twice this weekend!

This movie literally has changed my life. If you have not seen the movie, please go see it.

Will you take the challenge with me to step up and be more disciplined in your prayer life? I know when I sincerely meet with God, I leave a changed woman every single time. I’m not saying it will be easy, but I promise it is worth it.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

While discipline is so important for us to achieve our goals, it is even more important in our time with God. Our prayer lives must be top priority.

Let me know how disciplined you are in your prayer life or do you need to step it up with me? How might that impact the goals you are trying to achieve? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

My Prayer Before 1st Chemo

Posted on September 5, 2015 by lkuhar

This park is my special place. Before my first chemo treatment I sat here and prayed to God 5 simple words, “May your will be done“. At that point I did not know what was going to happen or what the journey was going to look like, but I released it to him that day.

I invite you to pray this simple prayer with me. God, may your will be done in my life.

Whatever goals you’re working on or the dreams you have I encourage you to hand them over to God and ask him to guide and lead you.

Romans 12:2 tells us that the renewing of our mind will literally transform us. To accomplish our goals we must have the mindset of Christ, which is positive. I firmly believe I would not be where I am today if I would have given up and had a negative mindset when I was learning to walk again after my illness.

How are you doing with your mindset? What is your mind focused on?

Lets say our affirmation together: I am worthy.

Whatever your goal is I want you to know YOU CAN DO IT!!! We can do this together.

Redefining Your Goal

Posted on September 1, 2015 by lkuhar

I’m really embarrassed to show you the training video clip at the end … but I think it’s important to let you see me struggling because achieving our goals is not always pretty.

Today’s coaching tip is about redefining our goals.

A few weeks ago we set our goals. My goal is to run a half marathon on Nov. 8, just two days before my book release! But in the back of my mind I had another goal that was kind of blurry. It was to run the half marathon at a certain pace … a pace that is way to fast for me. I’m a pretty SLOW runner and the goal is unrealistic. Honestly, most people walk faster than I run!

So every time I go out for a run I keep putting extra pressure on myself because I’m comparing myself to whether or not I can achieve a faster pace. It’s really silly because my goal is to complete the half marathon period. It doesn’t matter how fast I run it. Just like selling my book, it does not matter how many books are sold, the only thing that matters is that I was obedient to what God called me to do, which was to write the book.

Today I want to encourage you to take a little time and really think about your goal. Do you need to redefine it?

Or are you someone who set a goal but then got off track and said maybe I’ll start later?

What is God speaking to your heart today about your goals? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN!

This months give away is this awesome book by Suzanne Eller, The Mended Heart.

Let’s say our affirmation together today: I AM WORTHY! To preorder your copy of Worthy of a Miracle click here.

Just a Little Push {& Winner}

Posted on August 29, 2015 by lkuhar

Who is pushing or challenging you just a little bit to take it up a notch so that you are accomplishing your goals?

Are you slacking off or are you stretching yourself just enough for success?

For me to really push myself enough to make a difference in my training, I meet with my friend Stephanie to run with from time to time. She is much stronger and faster than I am so it’s challenging for me to keep up with her. But in the end it is so worth it to keep me moving forward in my goal … to run 13.1 miles at the Savannah Rock-n-Roll Marathon on Nov. 8. only 2 days before Worthy of a Miracle book release! (I cannot believe it’s already on Amazon. Check it out here)

My friend Stephanie not only challenges me, but she always speaks truth to me by encouraging me and building me up. Stephanie often times believes in me more than I believe in myself. I like to say everyone needs a “Stephanie” in their life.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are pushing yourself or how you’ll begin to step it up a notch so that you can accomplish your goals.

Let’s speak this affirmation together … I AM WORTHY! You are worthy my friend to accomplish your dreams and goals. You are not alone, we are in this together!
