Life Coaching Journey

Some of you know, but not all of you that I am about to embark on a new journey. I am going to be going through a program called Mindset for Success. It is a journey that I am so pumped up for and totally excited about. I have been through The Road Adventure, Celebrate Recovery and Tres Dias and I know now God has been preparing me this whole time for this journey right here...right now.

He keeps confirming to me every day that this is the path I am supposed to be on. I love when God does that!! Over my life I can see how God's hand has been there to orchrastrate each step I have taken and it blows my mind. I just can't express to you how much God has been showing me the last couple of months how I need to do this, that he again is going to be pruning and shaping me and I welcome it with open arms.

I have this desire in my heart to help people, to show that God can take something that was meant for evil and make it good, to encourage those around me to a closer walk with God and to become more self aware. I have this deep seeded need to reach out and make a difference in people's lives. To show people they too can walk in freedom.

So, this is where the life coaching program comes into play with me. In order to be a good life coach...I first need to continue to work on myself so that one day I can be the best Life Coach I can possibly be for others. I begin my journey this month and look so forward to the work it is going to take, the changes that need to be made in my life and the joy and freedom I will again experience as God pulls another layer back off my life. I love the process of pruning....I know some of it will be painful, but I also know that if I work hard it will all be worth it in the end.

At first when I told Brian that I really wanted to do this, he was like not something else that is going to take your time and energy, but over the last couple of weeks he has come to realize that this is what I am supposed to be doing, that this is my calling. I love him for being open to what God is telling him and how supportive he is in this process. He did say he wants me to give it my 100% and that is just what I am going to do.

Of course there are going to be some sacrafices in this whole process. I am going to have to give up some of the areas I am serving in so that I can devote the time and energy to do this well. I know that will disappoint some, but I also know that God will work that all out too.

So, off to my new journey and I will keep you posted as to what God is revealing to me during this process. Pray for balance, that I will be subjective about myself and that God will shape me into the person He wants me to be.
