One of my passions as a coach is for helping clients to build and maintain healthy relationships.

 

I have concluded that the foundation for building healthy and lasting relationships begins with cementing our personal relationship with the Lord. From there we have the compass to guide us in the building, maintenance, and repair of our other relationships. The desire of my heart is to help women (and men) who are in unhealthy relationships, or are struggling to maintain an important relationship, navigate their way through to health, where that is possible, and freedom from any relationship that is determined to be beyond repair.

 

At the core of my coaching plan for every client is the underlying emphasis on personal spiritual growth that will help to deepen the client’s relationship and identity in Christ, which can enable the building of new and healthy relationships as well as lead to the healing of pain from past experiences. 

 

If you or someone you know could benefit from relationship coaching, I hope you will reach out to me to set up a complimentary Discovery call!

Has your faith grown enough that you can let go of your burdens and rest in Him?

 

Our efforts to do God’s will and bring Him glory often become a struggle that ends in disappointment and, over time, lead us to a sense of hopelessness.

 

Andrew Murray, a pre-eminent author and pastor, emphasizing that God, the Almighty, works all, concludes that He is the only source of power. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up of oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.” 

 

Scripture confirms that Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself and to a place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring? 

 

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Can you trust Him to take up your burdens and struggling and enter His rest?

Are you aware that God’s love not only has the power to change lives, but that it can be completely transformational?

 

A primary focus of my coaching is sharing with my clients our ability to tap into God’s love which allows an experience of healing and change.

 

In the embrace of God’s love, shame and guilt melt away and usher in purpose and hope.

 

Can you use some change in your life? Any need for God’s healing touch?

Have you ever been a “fool for love”? I have!

 

We naturally tend to look to another person to give and receive the love that we all desire.

 

We unknowingly set ourselves up for disappointment with our expectation for security, only to find out that it isn’t really there.

 

A loving relationship has wonderful potential, but we usually learn, over time, that  human relationships are conditional and imperfect.

 

No human relationship can fulfill our underlying need for love that only our heavenly Father can provide.

 

As we learn to seek and to trust in His love, we can experience a perfect love that never disappoints. We learn of love from the one true source.

 

The security that we expect in a loving relationship can only be found in His loving arms.

 

Are you aware of, and learning to embrace, His great love for you?

Trust is a major key to a healthy relationship. 

 

Dancing partners can only portray a pleasing harmony if one partner leads and the other follows. If both partners are leading, the dance becomes awkward and confusing. The follower needs to be receptive and responsive.

 

God is our leading partner. He is always leading the dance and always leading in our life.

 

Are you following and trusting God enough to keep Him in the lead?

Easter, what a day to celebrate – “Resurrection Day!”

 

Is any event more worthy of celebration? Is there any person more worthy of celebrating than Jesus?

 

Jesus’s death and resurrection fulfills God’s promise that death, our naturally inherited separation from Him, will be removed for those of us who are willing to believe, and trust, that what He suffered in our place would provide all that a believer needs to enjoy a permanent place in God’s kingdom!  

 

Death does not have the last word! Jesus swallowed up death in victory! 

 

He was willing to go into the grave to lead us out of it.

 

Is there any love so relentless as His?

What does it mean to be “whole”? 

 

First and foremost, becoming whole is a work of God. From God’s perspective, being whole is being complete in Him. In the words of Charles Stanley, it means “to know with deep assurance that we are beloved by God with an everlasting, infinite, and unconditional love.” 

 

Becoming whole is a journey that begins when we are rescued from ourselves – when we trust Jesus’s promise of salvation and invite Him into our hearts. 

 

Stanley adds: “You are never required by God to live with guilt, shame, or regret. Accept that your past mistakes may have put you into the situation you are in, but quickly acknowledge the greater truth that your past mistakes – now forgiven by God – do not need to impact the decisions or choices you will make in the future.”  

 

When we are whole, we are sound in spirit, mind, and emotions. We can stand up to the enemy of our souls no matter what he throws at us. Becoming whole is a journey of learning and healing that continues until we are finally in our eternal home. Only a personal relationship with Jesus puts us on a path toward becoming whole! 

 

Are you on this journey? Have you reached out to touch the hem of His garment?

This is my prayer. Every morning. Every day.

His unfailing Love is my Life Path.

He is my Guide and I trust in Him.

No matter what today’s obstacles may be, following His lead always keeps me on the right path. 

“Ask and it will be given to you; . . .” (Matthew 7:7).

What do you pray for?

On Valentine’s Day we give top billing to our natural desire for love.

 

If it was not for Christ’s unsurpassable love for each of us, we could search for a lifetime without quenching this deep desire that God placed inside of us. 

 

Valentine’s Day provides a nice emphasis on love but falls short of the truth that there is no substitute for our Father’s Agape love. Not anywhere. It’s simply beyond our comprehension to know and understand how deeply and completely He loves us. 

 

It’s not uncommon for many of us to think that we’re not worthy of His love. We need to remember that Jesus came to save the sinners, not the righteous. To quote a favorite author, Hannah Whitall Smith, “Your very sinfulness and unworthiness is your chief claim upon His love and His care.”

 

Each one of us is called to accept that we are so special and precious to Him that, just as He left the flock of 99 sheep to find the one who was lost, He will seek you out to be rescued. 

 

We each need to experience the truth that John writes about in 1 John 4:16: “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.”  

 

On Valentine’s Day, and every day, Jesus is the lover of our soul! 

 

God is with you. He takes great delight in you, quiets you with His love and rejoices over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). You are that precious to Him! Our Father loves you as much as He loves His own son, Jesus! (John 17:23)

 

Are you looking for true love? Have you accepted God’s offer of His love through a personal and loving relationship with Jesus? Want to talk about it?

God uses our pain for His good purposes. He is with us in our pain, even though we may not feel Him. If we let Him, His love will bring us through the pain and heal our wounds like nothing else can. 

 

In her book “True You”, Susan Sohn states, “It is our mess, pain and ugly that God uses to create the most incredible beauty in our lives. Could our pain be the broth that nourishes our souls?”

 

As a life coach, my desire is for my clients to experience God’s amazing love for them and to help them find His purpose in their suffering. This usually leads to an ability to praise Him with an understanding that their pain has been a necessary part of His plan for them. 

 

Have you considered that God has a purpose in your pain? Want to find out more about it?
