I am a certified life coach. My focal area is to help people to change their thinking using proven strategies in linguistics that help them get past the past and help them finish strong. There is a part of my life that defines me and part is that I am a woman who loves GOD and is in awe of His love for me. If you have a relationship with God we can incorporate that into your coaching experience. We can get to a good place in life if we are intentional. My passion is to help people get out of their own way to become who they really are and to help them live again.
Create In Me a Clean Heart by Keith Green click here to listen. I love the passage of Scripture that this song is based on. Psalms 51 I think verse 4 stands out to me. As I write and try to share my story I try to say […]
(my daughter sent this email to me and I hope it encourages all who might read here.) I read this again today … what a priceless treasure. Dear Mom, I kinda understand what you are going through there at work. It’s hard to live in a secular environment, be […]
Click here to listen Natalie Grant sings the song Held about a true story of a woman losing her 2 month old infant. We have all been there where we have cried out to God at those times when we knew no where else to turn. The dead […]
Καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐγνώκαμεν αὐτὸν ἐὰν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηρῶμεν. I Repost from March 2010 John 2:3 (scroll your mouse over the words for their meaning) What do you really know? My journey recently took a rabbit trail that I am working through. I am so thrilled […]
Written March 2010. Losing my Mom was very difficult. She suffered her last days on this earth but always trusted the LORD knew best to heal her or take her home. My last conversation with her was so emotional. I did not make it to her bedside before […]
When I was a teacher I loved studying and teaching on the early pioneers in science, many of whom were strong in the faith. Sir Frances Drake wrote this poem that describes the passion I have for the LORD and for knowing HIM intimately. I can’t begin to […]
I heard Anne Graham Lotz talk about God changing our scars to beauty marks. LORD knows I had some scars. I was talking to someone after a lecture I attended and after our conversation I drove home with alot of what I had said running thru my mind. […]
(Please note, I totally believe GOD wants to hear from us. I have been a pit dweller at times in my life this is written for a reminder to myself as well ) Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! No one just wakes up with an emotionally burned out crippled and crumbled life. It takes time to […]
Yeah this title may sound silly but lets explore this notion. A crash dummy is made for one purpose, to see how it can withstand the impact of trauma. It isn’t meant to survive the impact but to be evaluated after the impact. If it survives that is […]
Living in the fast lane with a GOD who is always on time We live in an age where everything is instant. The stress of an instant life spills over onto our relationship with GOD. Christianity is not something you do! Being busy for GOD is not as […]
I used to sing a song called Whatever It Takes. I remember a man in my church saying to becareful because God might just do whatever it takes. Within a few years I was divorced facing life alone after 20 years. That being said let’s look at this […]
I know it sounds misleading but hear me out. I was listening to a message this week and wanted to share some of the ideas that it prompted in my heart. I always have side table discussion with myself when I hear something because I am evaluating things […]
No room around this one. Just try to do one without the other.
Help! I have been robbed. For years anger and fear have robbed some folks of their life. The life Christ intended for them to have. It’s not always easy to define an angry person but some of the fruits left behind by anger are clear signs a […]
It was so innocent. She had been sent for to care for her brother who was not feeling well. Nothing indicates it was anything other than an act of love by a sister. She arrived there to serve and help but instead found life changing violence. Regardless of […]
I was listening to a message and this phrase came up. “You can’t make God feel bad about you” The message was on the Lord bearing our burdens. Now I have many times in my life looked around as some of you and wondered where is GOD? There […]
What does take up HIS cross mean? His is a personal pronoun, might the cross be different for different believers? If this is the case then we better be sure to not envy those who have crosses that we think are lighter than ours. Sometimes the body of […]
Well the power is off and I am going to start this post with about 45 minutes of battery left. It seems GOD had different plans for my life tonight than I had planned. I am sitting alone in the dark. There are three candles burning but the […]
King Nebuchadnezzar was one walking talking self centered man. He has made an image to honor himself and was very indignant that anyone would refuse his command. In essence he just couldn’t believe anyone could refuse him. What pride he had. He offered three Hebrew children who had […]
When I first was saved years ago I was taken in to a family that basically exchanged my broken family for a new one. I did not understand Christ living in me and I wanted to be saved for a reason that was not only about salvation but […]
Watch for upcoming post. 1.We’ve only just begun to live 2. Living in the fast lane with a GOD who is always on time 3. Has anyone seen my car keys 4. Be the Body 5. Let your love show
This is probably for me more than anyone but here goes. We are living in hard and even harsh times. Sometimes the only good thing we know is that God is in control regardless of how it seems or feels to us. For myself, being in Dallas has […]
Reposted from 2008 I have been learning and growning in the Lord. It’s amazing how my past has come full circle. I would love to say that I have been on a perfect journey that has always walked toward the Lord but that would be a lie. I […]
Lost at Gettysburg I was talking on the phone to a loved one who was visiting Gettysburg and as darkness was ensuing he became lost on one side of the battleground and was struggling to find his way out. I remember hearing his struggle in the thorns and […]
I have to tell you a quick story. A few weeks ago, I went to my car for lunch as I do each day. It’s a great time alone with the LordJ ……. It was hot enough that I wanted to turn on the air to cool the […]
live life.
I thought I knew what forgiveness was….until……… I had always been taught to forgive others as Christ has forgiven you. Easy enough? Boy, I was ever deceived! Forgiveness isn’t always easy or the outcome. I had never been so challenged as I was recently when I wrote a […]
Revenge just the word conjures thoughts in our minds that makes us immediately say no not me. Well let’s look at the thesaurus and see some of the synonyms for revenge: retribution, settling of scores, payback, retaliation, and vindication. Oh, we are more at home with revenge than […]
By Laura (2001) We’re on a team, and we must fight, For we have a calling to do what’s right, The Coach has faith, and He needs us, So don’t quit and bite the dust. Just remember players in the past, Who didn’t quit and had a blast. […]
Compassion is when as humans we get to imitate God’s mercy. It is unmerited empathy and care for another’s distress. Compassion doesn’t keep score and never expects to be returned. Jesus left us several great examples of His compassion when he healed and also when he dealt with […]
However you were trained to be broken it will take an honest man to listen to or read the following message and be real with it. This message will be received one of 2 ways because it is true ,it will either offend you and you will despise it or, […]
Has anything ever knocked you so far off balance you have a hard time finding center again. I remember a couple of times as a kid playing a game of red rover where you form two human chains of kids and call one out at a time to […]
Although my life is now a deeply increasing desire to walk with the LORD and know Him more intimately the demands of life are real and present. I changed careers a little over two years ago to a very high pressure job. Daily bombarded with calls, orders, expectations, […]
My past is riddled with so many things, some drama, mistakes, pain, violence, sadness, divorce, marriage and death. I can’t begin to write all that I could say about it. I guess I could fill this blog with it all so that you can identify with me on […]
I am here! I can’t believe it. I have let a root of bitterness settle in my life. I went to church today hoping to sing and lift my heart a little. It is Mother’s Day and the second one without my children. It’s been over 6 years […]
Lots here to ponder …………think deep folks and God bless. I find myself in need of your prayer. The Four Loves To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure […]
Rascal Flatts wrote this song somehow I identify with it in some ways. This isn’t the yippeee yi yo springboard I envisioned to declare my life back but it is poignant somehow to say some things in my heart. Parts I don’t agree with at all but overall […]
Trust is hard to define for me but is something that I know is vital in a relationship. When it is gone the relationship is in danger. Someone once said, “if only I were the person my dog thinks I am.” I don’t know all of the implications […]
From learning and first hand witness I have understood that Catholics believe God is in a certain box until he becomes flesh during the Eucharistic ceremony. Hearing it and witnessing it is unbelievable. This belief is a matter of contention among Christendom. God in a box? Well before […]
Ever feel this way? I have no value in this life which I finally understand. No one loves me enough to love me forever except God. I resign to that fact and cease my quest for love. I have awakened from one bad dream to the next to […]
(still working on this one not complete) I don’t remember learning to walk or talk but I do remember watching my girls learn both. They would look at me and try to take that step. Sometimes I would reach out and hold their little hand that would grip […]
Sometimes I think I am a foreigner and then I am reminded by the Bible that I am not of this world. I have by my own fault isolated myself from most of the folks I know, moved to a new town, and basically as a southerner would […]
There are some days that are just not what you want them to be. As a matter of fact to be honest, some days are plain rotten. Today was one of those days. I woke up with a fever and was trying to figure where it came from, […]
(note this was written for a loved one but there have been times it applied to me, nothing to hide) The depths of my soul were in despair I framed excuses for my life everywhere It`s not very hard if you`ll look you`ll see My life is just […]
As my life began to unravel, and my heart began to break. Things were changing fast around me, and my soul began to shake. The hurt over ran all reason, and my eyes began their weeping. My father in His loving care, taught me joy keeping. Many things […]
Elijah Syndrome, lol. I thought the name was original with me. A quick web search proved me wrong but I am going to share this with you in that vein. I have been studying alot lately. I enjoy learning many things. One recent wow moment was when I […]
Sometimes being me isn’t easy lol. I asked a question recently of some of you. Do you really love God and how do you know? I pondered that with my finite brain for a few days and although this isn’t a definitive answer I do believe it approaches […]
You might remember being a little kid and getting a wooden bench with a hammer and several different shaped colorful pegs to hammer into the bench. I have such a fond memory. I had my little multi-colored pegs and would find the exact shape to hammer them into. […]
