I've been immersed in the curriculum for my life coach certification program, due to impending practicum processes. This practicum is necessary for my certification. I alerted a few, namely, three friends of mine and expressed my need of their help. At the same time I thought how I would motivate change for their lives in just four weeks? Seems daunting; however, I can say I had three women, then two, then three again....women in my life who would allow me to use them as a guinea pig for my growth. Ask for help? Dare them to dream something different? Would I be able to motivate them enough to embrace some level of change in their lives? Well, that's what the practicum process is all about. It's time for me to role play, if you will....to behave and facilitate the most ideal manner of presentation of life coaching possibilities, and involvement. I am humbled by the path God has led me. I have always wanted to be the person who gave the up side of things, and believe me when I say; it is only this segment of my life where I actually have the internal spirit to "give the up side;" to share what I've been through, to let them imagine the same for their lives. God's timing is everything....I don't care what you are up against.....He will let you know what to do, in a very simple manner; yet the simple manner of presentation is perhaps the thing that scares the pants off some people. God will always give that gentle nudge....the nudge I endeavor to build in my life coaching. I'll do the nudging...God will lead and the Holy Spirit will guide....all to the point God has planned.
Ok, that was a particular idealistic viewpoint, but let me admit....I believe this. I know there are many others who believe it also, and when you accept God as your Father, the parent who tough loves....who is merciful....I want to remind you - God has had the plan for our lives before we were a twinkle in our parents eyes. His plan for our lives will unfold, if we understand He is the core of our existence, and as His children, find all our blessings if we listen to "the whisper of God." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Sidebar: I continue to journal; but I have to interject an admission I wrote just last week....it amazes me how I begin a topic, and my fingers just type whatever they are motivated by. Sometimes this bothers me because I think I always interrupt myself. However, it is another notion of God's perfect timing...God directed, Holy Spirit guided, I type.
I always start the "discourse," but I have to say it kinda freaks me out as to what transmits from my brain the the keyboard.....and when I reread? Well....I try not to edit...because I believe God's hand is in what I choose to communicate. I always trust where He leads me in thought, especially when I continue to strive to be my authentic self.
I have a followup to Part 1, because I'm typing Part 2 - I have much more to say on the possibility of me returning to my home church. Recent events have brought much revelation, and before I go into any sharing, I'd like to absorb what is swirling in my head at the moment.
OK, something freaky just happened! I'm sitting here typing, and I am intrigued by the music on the Jazz station....lo! and behold, the title of the song...?! You're not gonna believe it, but the title is "Take Me To Your Heaven?!" So now? I just want to dance!
Everything in God's Perfect Timing.....
