From God-hater to God-follower {part 8}

November 18, 2008

{part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7} And I learned that it wasn’t Christianity I was searching for.  It was… …a closer connection with God and as much as I wanted Christianity to be the vehicle that took me there, it simply isn’t.  Here’s the thing.  I found [...]

I used to hate Grandma

November 17, 2008

“If you were attending your Grandma’s funeral today…” Grandma is here visiting from now through Thursday.  This is a first.  I don’t think she’s ever come to visit just to visit.  We’ve gone on trips together.  She’s come and stayed at my house to watch over The Girl when I was single and needed to [...]

{part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6} But, we made it to the next one and… …before I even walked in I was touched by the community.  I had emailed the leader to let her know that I couldn’t make the first meeting because of the lump in my breast [...]

From God-hater to God-follower {part 4}

November 11, 2008

{part 1, part 2, part 3} My life didn’t change much after saying out loud that there was at least a part of me that believed in God.  I kept on doing what I was doing.  I continued with my Daily Practice Journaling (a practice that helps me process my life and build a deeper [...]

From God-hater to God-follower {part 3}

November 10, 2008

{note: this is part 3 of a series ~ read part 1 and part 2} It took two years of deepening my connection with myself and others that brought me right into God’s hands.  It happened slowly; one Daily Practice journal entry at a time.  I can still remember the first time I said out [...]

From God-hater to God-follower {part 2}

November 9, 2008

Yesterday I posed the question, “So how did I go from a God-hater to a God-follower?” and it all started back in 2005 when I had a blood clot in my left eye that created a permanent blind spot in my central vision.  It happened on April 10th just days before my contract ended – [...]

Cure to Insecurity?

July 9, 2008

This morning during my meditation God and I had this conversation: ~ God, what is my greatest challenge in building a coaching practice? {note: this question was inspired by Cheri Huber in my daily read of Making a Change for Good A Guide to Compassionate Self-Discipline} ~ Not believing in yourself. ~ But, why?
