Why Spiritual Formation Coaching?
I am passionate about coaching Christian women, like yourself, who feel stuck in their life and cannot move forward. You might be questioning your faith, feel forsaken by God, feel worthless and insignificant, believe you are not enough or that God is not enough. Maybe, you are trying to figure out who you are and why you are here.
Well, I have walked in your shoes and "I get it!" There was a season in my life when it was hard to take a deep breath or even want to live. My life seemed hopeless due to loss, pain, and failure. Where was the God that I believed in and trusted? Why did God remain silent when I was crying out for help? Why did God create me? I was completely stuck and could not move forward.
I lived my entire life believing that I was not enough. Rejection was all I could see. Whenever I entered a room of people I did not know, I wondered who would reject me first. And since I thought that doing more and being more would solve this problem of feeling worthless, I strived to find worth by going around God instead of going to Him. My opinion was that God was not enough, so he needed my help. I had to maintain control. Total surrender to him was not an option. Sound familiar?
One day I found myself lying face down on my apartment floor crying out to God and asking "What's happening? Why me? How can you (God) love me and allow this pain? How can I trust you (God) if I don't think you really love me?"
I was in a very dark place, a bottomless pit, about my faith in Christ. This abyss of darkness caused my view of God to become extremely distorted and invalid. Maybe you, too, are in a dark place with similar questions and wondering if God hears your cry for help.
Amid my suffering, I had to make a choice and so do you. I could remain stuck in the darkness of my soul or I could take steps to get unstuck and move forward. For God to restore and transform me, I had to have courage and a deep desire for healing. It required not only a willingness to see the truth about what I had been believing about myself and God but also the courage to face my secrets, wounds, insecurities, failures, and shame. Awareness of who I had become was extremely painful, convicting, and sickening. I cannot tell you how ashamed I was at how I had "shown up as a confessing Christian, not a practicing Christian." I desperately needed God's forgiveness.
As the lies were uncovered, I faced a critical choice. Was I going to accept what God was showing me or contend with Him? Cooperate or contend? Deciding not to accept the truth would have left me in pain and darkness. My healing and transformation took time and it required forgiveness of others and myself. Getting past and healing from this dark season of your soul will require a strong commitment to heal and move forward as well as courage, honesty, and a deep desire for restoration in your relationship with God.
I desire to come along beside you as you go through the invaluable process of restoration and transformation by learning to live daily in the truth. Become the person you were always meant to be. You are never too old to change. We are all changing. God has a unique calling for your life, but will you discover it?
My mission statement is “to help others live in the Truth, grow in their intimacy with Christ, and discover their unique design so that they can live out their God-given passion and purpose to expand the Kingdom of God.”
In Conformed To His Image, Kenneth Boa said, "Our image of God shapes our spiritual direction and future." David Jeremiah believes "One of the reasons we don’t love God and trust Him as much as we should is because we don’t know Him as well as we ought."
Are you seeing yourself in my story? Missing your calling? Ready to move forward with clarity and courage? Ready to rekindle your relationship with Christ? Ready to conquer your limiting beliefs and rediscover Truth?
