There are many verses in the Bible about paths, and several about the “path of life”.  The verse I quote most often is David’s in Psalm 16:11, which adds “with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”  Is there anyone who wouldn’t want to be on this kind of path?

 

This is where the name of my coaching business comes from. It is not my path, but the Lord’s. He has a unique and special path laid out for each one of us. My work as a coach is to be a guide on your path, helping you to navigate around the obstacles and avoid and/or overcome the various roadblocks along the way.

 

Not only are we on a path to the life we will have for eternity with the Lord in glory if we belong to Him, but we are on a path to a better and richer life here on earth. This life path can be one that leads to healthy and fulfilling relationships – with others, with God, and with yourself!

 

Are you on the path of abundant life? If you would like to learn more about how I can help you or whether we would be a good fit for a coaching relationship, send me a message and we will set up a time for a complimentary discovery call.

Today I am bringing you the ultimate tip!  This tip has the power not only to change your relationships, but everything in your life that needs changing. 

 

Here it is: God is the solution for every difficulty and problem we face in life. He is the source of our strength. 

 

He wants us to trust Him completely. He wants us to turn to Him for the solutions to our problems and difficulties in life. 

 

He is our healer and comforter and desires to heal us of our old emotional wounds and memories. 

 

He wants us to be completely dependent upon Him. There is no substitute for trust in God.

 

Where do you turn for help? Are you depending on someone or something besides the Lord?

I’m intrigued by the candor of this statement by Lecrae.

 

It seems to me that, as Christians, we should all be able to admit that we can relate. After all, admitting that we’re a mess is key to how we became believing Christians in the first place!

 

Jesus provides the power to make us new creatures, but His number one commandment of love for others is our marching order for encouraging and helping each other to clean up our mess. This is a big reason why I am committed to my coaching work. I see it is a part of God’s plan for me. He has allowed me to stumble, struggle, and even to fail – more than once! But He has equipped me with every need for serving and helping others to remove their mess.

 

So, it has become a passion for me to help others with the help that I have received from the Lord, and from people He’s placed in my life. He has allowed me to experience trials in my life for a reason! I seek His power of conforming me more to His image each day and through every trial. I’m also thankful for the recognition that His teaching me enables me to strengthen, encourage and comfort those He places in my path.

One of the special blessings of my coaching work comes from the added one on one time with Him as He helps me with each situation, resulting in an ever growing closer relationship. 

 

Are you recognizing your mess and seeking God’s help in getting it cleaned up? Need any help?

The most predominate focus of my coaching practice centers on helping clients recognize what is needed to ensure that entering into, and maintaining, relationships with others will be healthy and lasting.

 

Coaching involves a relationship in itself, the forming of a partnership with a common goal – to improve the client’s existing relationships and equipping the client to cultivate new relationships that will be healthy and enjoyable.

 

My passion for helping others, and emphasizing relationships, is fueled by the love that God has shown toward me and my relationship with Him. His desire to share His unfathomable love and grace encourage me to share that love with others and to help clients achieve God-given goals. When God’s love touches and heals us, we are placed on a path toward understanding and navigating our way to the establishing of healthy and lasting relationships.

 

Is there a relationship in your life that you could use some help with? Send me a message and we can schedule a free thirty-minute call to talk about a partnership.

Passion! The Lord places it deep within us!

 

That is what drives me. I am passionate about coaching!

 

One reason I work so hard is because of my passion for helping my clients. Nothing makes me happier than to know that God is using me to help my clients grow spiritually, heal from past hurts, have healthy relationships, and move forward.

 

We all have passions that the Lord created in us. Coaching can draw this passion out.

 

What is your passion?

I used to read a devotion book every night with my son titled “Jesus Calling”, authored by Sarah Young. One of those devotions really caught my attention because it was so powerful. It centers on God’s love for each of us. Written as though spoken by Jesus, it reads:


“Be still in the Light of My Presence while I communicate Love to you. There is no force in the universe as powerful as My Love…If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed…For now, the knowledge of my loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.”

 

In my coaching practice I often emphasize the importance of maintaining healthy relationships. Assuring healthy relationships with others begins with an understanding of the extent of God’s love for each of us. He models His love in His Son who demonstrated His love for us on the cross. If you haven’t experienced His love for yourself and want to experience it, you can begin by praying and by reading His Word and asking the Lord to reveal it to you.

 

If you’re having any issues with relationships, or have other concerns with difficult life issues, and would like some help, just send me a message. I would be happy to talk with you.

 

Remember that God is always wanting to communicate with you, especially with His message of love. Are you learning to take the time to be still and listen for God’s messages?

Our Father allows a variety of storms in our lives, some for reasons we can discern and others for reasons that only He knows. He has disclosed to me that certain storms have provided me with understanding and insight that I can pass along to help others through similar storms.

 

In my coaching, I listen, encourage and motivate.  A coach works as a guide, coming alongside clients and directing them along a path designed to help them reach their goals and dreams. I always include guidance with encouragement in spiritual growth in their relationship with God, shining a light on the unique path that the Lord is creating for them through their own storms.

 

Can you use some extra encouragement and guidance along your path?

I love seaglass!

 

It reflects light so beautifully.

 

It is a challenge, but ultimately rewarding when you find those colorful pieces among the little rocks and pebbles.

 

The jagged edges of the ones we choose have been smoothed to perfection.

 

Some of those pieces are better thrown back into the ocean for more polishing.

 

Choice seaglass requires work similar to that which the Lord does in shaping those willing to put their trust in Him.

 

He works on our brokenness and makes it beautiful as he smooths out our rough edges.

 

We will be perfect one day when we are with Him. For now, those of us who put our trust in Him are works in progress. He’s working on our broken condition and shaping us to reflect His light and beauty. 

 

Are you letting the Lord polish your rough edges?

This article and magazine appeared when unpacking a box left over from my last move twenty-five years ago!

 

In the year 2000, I fulfilled my dream to be a Maine resident. In retrospect, I believe that my move was a part of the Lord’s plan to move me toward a fulfilling profession as a Life Coach and a calling to help others resolve problems, achieve goals, move forward, experience healing, and find God’s purpose by exploring, understanding and improving a personal relationship with Him.

 

At the time, I was motivated to save the coaching articles simply because the idea of being a life coach seemed appealing to me. Actually, I knew little about the profession and its methodology at the time. After earning my B.A. in Psychology and some follow up study in a graduate social work program, along with six years working in the mental health field, my interest in becoming a therapist or other professional helpmate became more ingrained. However, a move to another state, along with a divorce and remarriage, moved my focus to employment that seemed better able to meet my financial needs at the time. It has helped me to appreciate the fact that God’s timing is always right, whether I can understand it or not.

 

Although my coaching career had a relatively late start, I now realize that I was in need of a better understanding, and some healing and resolution of my personal issues, before moving ahead with further education and acquisition of additional coaching skills. God’s timing is always the right timing!

 

Is there something that God may be whispering to you about help with your desires or your struggles and difficulties? Do you know His great love for you?

 

Talking with a Life Coach can help you toward resolution and a new lease on life!

Check out this verse! It says we should give thanks, regardless of our circumstances!

 

What a perfect verse to concentrate on during Thanksgiving week!

 

How about Luke 4:18 where we learn that Jesus came to set the captives free?

 

I was a captive, but He has set me free. Good news that I can now share with you and others!

 

My desire is to help others find hope and healing through God’s amazing love, through understanding God’s purpose in our suffering and the joy of being able to praise Him regardless of your circumstances.

 

I can’t help the commitment to continually tell my story, to give God the glory and share my own hope with other “captives”.

 

Being set free includes being free from all shame, guilt and condemnation.

 

An added benefit is finding that we can trust Him to be with us in every circumstance when we put our faith in Him.

 

This Thanksgiving, I am most thankful for the unlimited benefits of God’s grace. 

 

Have you experienced His grace?
