You can probably relate to what happened to me last week.

Here’s the scenario…I'd done a piece of work for someone and I was really pleased with it. So the next morning I opened up my email to see their response… and I burst into tears as I slowly read and re-read their reply. 

My heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest and I could feel the anger creeping in as I rushed to defend myself against their accusations. I was MAD and SAD and ugghhhhhh!

I slowly realized what was happening as I felt my heart hardening towards them, I turned to Holy Spirit and cried, “help!”

As I sat with Him, He showed me how to listen to my heart and acknowledge what was going on that was causing me so much pain. I took a few deep breaths and the hurt and anger slowly subsided enough for me to think clearly.

Holy Spirit then gently walked me through the 3 steps I share with you in today’s episode

1. Acknowledge your heart and what it’s feeling2. Let God remind you of how He sees you3. Get God’s view of the other person and follow His heart

By the time we were done, I was much calmer and I could feel the 'peace that surpasses all understanding'. I put my fingers on the keyboard and was able to reply from a calm and clear place. 

How amazing is it that we get to follow the ways of Wisdom and let Him show us how to navigate each and every situation in front of us (which He’s just brilliant at doing). 

So be encouraged as you listen today.Whether you experience words that hurt you deeply, or you try really hard and feel unseen, or your heart hurts and you don’t know how to stop the pain… Holy Spirit is here to walk with you. He has wisdom keys that will heal up your broken heart and help you walk into wholeness - each and every day.Come visit us at www.TheWaysofWisdom.com

Sometimes we just start to feel ‘ugh’. Our bodies get sore, we aren’t sleeping so well and life just seems to be full of effort.

I know what that’s like - something just feels ‘off’ and it gets to the point where we take notice and want to do something to help ourselves feel alive again.

My husband and I are on a ‘liver reset’ at the moment and we get to completely change and intentionally refine the way we eat, what cleaning and personal products we use, and how we view everyday life. It’s been quite a journey so far, but we’re beginning to feel the benefits!

As I was talking this through with the Lord, I realized that we all have the opportunity to have a ‘spiritual reset’ too.  

Maybe there’s a relationship in your life that is just ‘same old, same old’, and you really wish that the spark would come back

Maybe you dislike your job and you just want to feel like what you do matters

Maybe you know that your health is suffering because you eat badly and don’t exercise and it would be so good to have lots of energy again

 

 So how do you do a ’spiritual reset’? Well, let me show you how in this week’s podcast episode.

I’ll be sharing with you how I lead my clients to a new perspective and give you 3 practical tools to help you see the change in your life that you long to experience.

You can probably relate to this situation I found myself in last week

Here’s the scenario…

I was sitting in front of my computer - my chest was tight, my hands were tense, and my jaw was clenched…

As I became aware of what my body was feeling, I realized that I was really stressed.

I’d had my quiet time that morning and spoken life over my day,

but the problem was that somewhere along the line I had let my peace go, and become stressed instead (sound familiar?)

It wasn’t until I let Holy Spirit show me what was happening, that I could see His solution for my situation.

Replacing the lie I was believing - for His Truth instead, helped my chest and hands and jaw to relax and I was able to return to that peaceful place.

So how do YOU raise your awareness of when Holy Spirit and your body is telling you its stressed?

Whether you…

-> have no ‘spare time’ in your day and have little idea of how to be constantly peaceful…but you want the joy you crave

-> have started trying to carve out some quiet time and begun to learn about the peace Jesus gave you…but you’re not really sure how to make it part of your day

-> have a hunger for more of God, and a deep desire to live peaceful in the midst of everyday life (and you’re done being stressed)

-> are constantly asking yourself if you can really make it happen with limited time, resources, and energy

 

…well, I’m here to tell you that you can access the peace and confidence that Jesus has given you - right where you’re at.

I want to support you on your journey…

Jesus is inviting you on an adventure today. Will you accept?

“I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do” she said to me when we got on a call.

I too was faced with a scenario last week where a legal situation we need to remedy for our company looked really big and scary. I didn’t know what to do either…

We all feel this way at times as we get overwhelmed by the situation in front of us. 

Our job situation has suddenly changed and we need to make some big decisions

A relationship is going sideways and we don’t know how to turn it around

Some curveball has come at us from left field and we’re a little stunned…

 

As I was praying through the legal situation, Holy Spirit encouraged me with those famous verses in the Bible where God is giving Joshua instructions on how to face, and conquer, the big obstacles he was seeing on the border of the Promised Land.

Learning to rely on God in the midst of the uncertainty has revolutionized my and my clients lives. Understanding Who He is and how to live out His promises is an invitation that He is extending to us all. He is the One Who gives us the courage to face anything.

In todays’ podcast episode I unpack what giving and receiving courage looks like (and how to walk it out in your everyday life)

 

Meditate on courageous thoughts

Know Who has got your back

Giving and gaining courage

 

I love that Jesus invites us on these adventures and gives us the very thing that we need to navigate our daily lives with HIm.

“I want to know how to connect with God and hear His voice, in the middle of my 12-hour busy days” my friend said.

 

I remember that frustration of trying to fit my quiet time into my day. I knew it would be good for me, but where was I supposed to fit it in?

 

And it’s not just him. So many people I talk to have busy lives - whether it’s looking after the kids, working long hours at a job or running a business (or all of these), so many of us are just busy…

 

I felt this way too until I realized that it’s not about adding another ‘to do’ onto your already wayyyyy too long list, it’s about an ‘all through the day’ conversation that comes from relationship.

This revelation (and learning how to live it each day), was a total game-changer for me. It relieved all the stress of trying to fit my ‘quiet time’ with God into a small window in my day, and broadened it to lots and lots of snippets of conversation all day long.

 

In todays’ podcast episode I share examples that people just like you, are going through and we look at

 

1. How are you connecting to God?

2. How are you growing?

3. How are you living this out?

 

I not only share common experiences, but I give practical solutions for bridging the gap between where you are now and the deep relationship with God that you long for.

 

You can listen to today’s podcast episode as you take the cat for a walk, drive to and fro or fix yourself your breakfast smoothie.

I remember sitting there with my head in my hands. Really confused and with very little idea of what happens next...

I had tried so hard to know what God wanted me to do with my life (fasting, praying, reading my Bible etc). These all gave me so much life and hope, but I still didn't know what to DO!

I stayed stuck in this rut for a while until one day I connected with a friend of mine who sat and talked things through with me. Because she wasn't so deeply involved in my story, she was able to look at it from a higher perspective and talk it through with the Lord on my behalf. As we sifted through all that was going on, God's clearer perspective emerged and with it - hope, strength and joy...and a pathway.

I realized that this was a gift of the Body of Christ - for us to sit and talk and pray and process things through with each other and Holy Spirit.

Not only did I receive this gift of being coached back then, but now I have also had the privilege of bringing the same clarity and direction as I have coached others (over a thousand hours over 8 years).  

So tell me - are you just 'stuck' and you don't know how to move forward - and you've had enough?Are you seeing cycles repeat in your life and you want off the hamster wheel?Or are you just hungry to see more of what your life can look like when you hear God clearly?  

I LOVE seeing my clients come alive on this coaching journey where we take a good look at where you currently are, and then we partner with God's plans for you and support you to go from 'here to there'.

“I just want to see Jesus’ face” my coaching client lamented to me when we met yesterday.

My heart went out to him because I felt the same frustration and hunger just to get to know Jesus more - yet it seemed to be so difficult and out of reach!

We’d been at church this past weekend and the worship leader had invited us to ‘see Jesus’ face’ and he’d been trying really hard to do so.

You know what it’s like. You close your eyes and try to picture His face…and all you see is an actor who played Him in a movie, or a painting you’ve seen somewhere. But you want to see Him for real - not someone else’s rendition of Him. Argh!!

 

As we sat talking it through, I realized that my hunger to know the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit more, was no longer filled with that type of ‘angst of pursuit’ - but somewhere along the line it had been replaced by an ‘invitation to intimacy’ instead.

So how do you accept this invitation and get to know God as your Father? What does it look like to know Jesus as your Friend? And how do you get to interact with Holy Spirit to see ‘Heaven on Earth’ like He did with Jesus?

 

Wether you 

-> are brand new to this idea of having a deep relationship with the Trinity, and just have no idea where to begin, or

-> have heart wounds from your experience with your earthly father and don’t know how to interact with a loving Father, or

-> perhaps you’re confused about the whole ‘the Trinity are separate, but all one’ concept and it’s difficult for you to relate to Them

 

In todays’ podcast episode we’ll be diving into this very topic. Come and visit us at www.TheWaysOfWisdom.com

Have you ever experienced a situation where you were so overcome by emotion that you just didn’t know what to do with yourself?

I know, me too!

Last week Friday something happened that had me in turmoil and God met me right smack in the middle of it and helped me come out the other side.

As He and I sat and unpacked what happened, I realized that He’d first shown me mercy, and then enabled me with grace.

These 2 words are talked about so much these days that there can be a real misunderstanding between the two. I was talking to a coaching client the other day and when we looked at the proper definition, meaning and weight behind each word, her mind was blown by the goodness of God that each of them demonstrate. 

In this episode I get really vulnerable and share how God literally came and helped me to not fall into temptation by showing me His mercy, and then giving me the grace to walk out of it well.

We have all played that game where we make shadow figures on the wall using our hands in front of a light. The truth is that our hands are a certain size, but depending on where we place them in relation to the light source, the shadow can look WAY bigger as its projected against the wall.

It's just the same with fear. It can appear way bigger than it actually is - but the truth is that it is simply a shadowed and distorted projection of the real thing. 

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the emotion and consequences of what we fear, that it looks far bigger than it actually is and we let it rob us of the power that God gives us to walk in. It can consume our thoughts and make us focus on what the enemy is trying to convince us can go wrong, instead of looking at the hope that Jesus brings. 

As we look at the reality of how God helps us to agree with His Truth instead of the enemy’s lies, we find the beautiful keys that He has provided us with that help us to walk in power instead of being incapacitated by fear.
