in God
Have you ever started something and never finished it because either something distracted you or you got overly busy with another project or….you fill in the blank.
I have had that happen many times. As a person who loves arts and crafts, I have a lot of unfinished projects sitting in the craft area of my basement.
But I am talking about more than just unfinished projects. My life theme for the last few years has been perseverance. Nothing has gone as “planned”. I have needed to persevere.
I began counseling studies years ago and stopped after completing several courses. I knew I would be a better coach than counselor. So I began training to become a Life Coach. I was certified as a Professional Life Coach July 10, 2009.
I thought, I would hit the ground running and begin advertising so I could begin working with new clients. That has not happened. Yet, God has allowed me opportunities to make a difference in the lives of other women. Still, things haven’t taken shape as I thought they would initially.
I know God has called me to life coaching because He continually sets up relationships for me that naturally lead to coaching.
Maybe it will never look like I thought it would. But I know I must persevere and continue to do what God is calling me to no matter what it looks like. Sometimes that is very easy and other times it is just plain hard.
Persevere, keep starting again, never give up, keep looking to Jesus. If I must wait, Lord, give me the peace to know you are there in the waiting. Give me your joy for the journey, no matter what the journey looks like. Each day Lord may I look to you and do what you are calling me to do.
