“Christian Life Coaching is the art and practice of guiding a person from where they are toward the discovery of God’s vision for their life, and helping them learn to live accordingly. It is the collaborative process of determining direction and designing strategies to creatively move toward a passionately desired destination."

“As God’s cherished children, we can confidently and persistently wait for Him to succor us in the midst of seemingly shattered dreams rather than scramble, retreat, quit, seek relief or pursue our own way elsewhere." - Jim Case

Rely upon Holy Spirit
Father God sent Jesus to show us who He was and to open the doorway into His presence. Jesus sent His Spirit to enable His life to be lived in and through us. Holy Spirit’s power and guidance will energize ways and means to fulfill dreams awakened within you. As the Author of your story and the Creator of your design, He reserves the right to arrange the progression and pathway of your plans as you live out your calling. He will honor the genuine vision He has given you, but will not relinquish the controls to your conception of how best to achieve it. Rather, He will often inexplicably interrupt our plans and take us along paths other than what we had anticipated. This is just as it should be, as we must depend
upon what His vision in us reveals, as well as what is needed as He shapes us to be a fit receptacle of it. He is worthy of our confidence and worth the trouble and turmoil along the way (James 1:2-4).
If Jesus is Lord in our lives, we can relax in His dependable
presence and power, available for Him to interrupt and mess with our plans, and, instead of becoming frustrated, we can view these interruptions as divine appointments for ministry. He becomes the Master of our calendar and schedule. We will find ourselves able to move courageously into our world, intentionally acting upon that which we can control while flexibly releasing that which we cannot. We will give our best to that which is of greatest value to us, and trust Him for the results.
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
He’s the One who will keep you on track. Proverbs 3:5-6 (The Message)
Apart from Me you can do nothing… but with God, all things are possible. John 15:5 with Matthew 19:26
Apart from Me you can do nothing… but with God, all things are possible. John 15:5 with Matthew 19:26
The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power within you.
Do you know Holy Spirit, the One assigned to always point toward Jesus and lead us into all truth? How do you react when seemingly random interruptions and interferences impose themselves upon your time, energy and focus?
