Certification September 2009

Well, it finally happened - with a little bit of stress attached. I was aware of the process, however, when I learned there was a new admin at the school, I thought this would create a delay. Not so, and I was pleased.

The interview process with my coach/trainer was good....with all the appropriate questions. My only glitch was in my head. Would they think I was "good enough" to be a life coach? Questions like this in my head aren't unusual... Is that a bad thing? Sometimes... But, this outcome was really out of my hands.....It's not like it was in college. I was in control and I was the only person involved in my outcome. I did the work, I got the grades, and received my degree. This process has someone else in a position of decision....which for me came down to worthiness.

I have a friend who has to remind me that being a child of God already makes me worthy. I trust God in this, but I don't trust the people. Why? Because we are fallible. We have issues, judgements, and opinions.

So now I am certified. I've been working the research necessary to put all the pieces of building a business in place, but I am on hold. Unfortunately, I have to secure daytime employment in order to afford the finances needed to maintain website, referral sites, advertising, media, organizational fees for networking etc. Given my unemployed status since April 09 I am directly affected by the current state of our economy. Am I happy about this? NOT> however I trust God to bring me through it.
