The Waiting ...

These past few weeks, actually since Aug 29th I've been waiting...for certification. I feel confident, not cocky; however, although I have been doing lots of research, purchased coaching tools, and continued coaching two of my practicums' as well as picking up another client, pro bono....I have not assumed my certification. Why? I am waiting on God as well. As much as I have surrendered His will for my life...I will not know that for sure unless I am certified. I have done the work for the program, and my coach was wonderful....one of her last words for me in my interview were "Dianne, over these past 12 weeks, I know your heart." I can't tell you how much that meant to me. Her expression gave me encouragement. I've already said my little ditty "God if it's good for me, let me have it, and if not take it away."

In as much as I have place my faith in God's will, I am still pushing forward. I believe this is where God wants me...to help others. Those who know me well, know my attitude about beating the odds, I don't care what is on the table...we all have capabilities within our power, combined and aligned with God's will, to pursue our dreams. I am pursuing my dream... to impart wisdom, to make others think, to be the devil's advocate when they feel defeated. I have always rallied for the underdog. In coaching, the underdog could very well be all my clients. It will be up to me to encourage them to think about what they want, and then develop a plan to get it. Getting it may not be easy, and it shouldn't be...because, if we are not willing to do the work necessary to achieve our dreams, then what does it say about us? Any of us?

I spoke with one of my PBC's (person's being coached)...and said directly "Only you can make the decision to change the pattern in your life." It's true. Every person I coach will have to make a decision...a decision for change. It will be a wonderful journey for whoever takes on their own personal challenge, to get rid of the gunk in their minds, to overcome the obstacles, to review motives, and to then move toward their ultimate goals.

This is a shorter entry than most, but this is all I needed to say.
