Hey friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice!
Do you all remember the original Karate Kid movie? About the Japanese karate mentor ~Mr Myiagi and his protege …Daniel!
Daniel was the kid who at first was looked at as a misfit… bullied and disregarded by almost everyone, until Mr Myiagi took him under his wing and promised to teach him how to fight.
But his training protocol at first, had nothing to do with elaborate karate moves…He taught Daniel how to trust what he couldn’t see...and reach deep down within himself to find a Power greater than himself …which ultimately led Daniel to winning a karate championship that ultimately changed the trajectory of his life.
Friends, even if you may not literally be training to compete in a world championship, I can tell you with 💯 certainty… You were created with great purpose and destiny…And this Higher Power, I personally refer to as God…I’m convinced has the most unconventional way of preparing and equipping you for it, and above all things… Desires for you to Trust Him through every adversity you overcome.
The only way you can trust Him...is to know Him...Connect with Him... and know how to hear His voice in your heart.
Friends, all the struggles you overcome are really the training ground for the championship arena you are called to rise up and win.
If you feel like your faith is in a slump, trying to understand how life at this moment in time, translates to the championship arena God is calling you to…
I want to pray along side you, right here, right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here w you to be your encouraging voice!:)
So this is gonna sound kinda weird… but I’m grateful that I didn’t have a carefree life… I’m grateful for all the dark trails I’ve walked through…
Something extraordinary happens when someone’s walked though what feels like a personal hell… and makes the choice to live for a purpose greater than themselves.
Something extraordinary happens …when you literally have nothing else to hold onto but Faith in a Power greater than yourself.
Even if that Faith is just a tiny seed at first, it has the capacity to grow like a forest of a thousand trees…through your choice to believe the one you cannot see …
But has infinitely more power than anything you can see.
This Higher Power… I personally refer to as God, will cause the extraordinary to happen out of your impossible.
Something else extraordinary….
Everything I ever hoped for in the past, did not happen as I originally planned.
But out of every pit fall, setback, heartbreak and disappointment… emerged some of the greatest, most priceless gifts I didn’t even know to wish for…
I got to know, love and honor my true authentic self.
It led me on a healing journey that brought me here with you today.
And in the midst of some of the darkest trails I’ve walked through… I connected with friendships that are so divinely aligned… I’m in awe of God how our paths crossed!
My Friends, when you walk through those dark trails with God…
You become the beacon of Hope to other people longing for a reason to believe.
If any of this resonates with you, I want to pray along side you, right here…right now…
Hey friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice! :)
I wanted to chat with you about a timeless prayer that has radically impacted my life… it was written by Reinhold Niebuhr…called the “Serenity prayer”…
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change…Courage to change the things I can…and wisdom to know the difference."
I took a step back one day and opened myself up to God in a way I genuinely thought I had but then realized …I really hadn’t.
Once I asked God to align my heart and mind with the much higher thoughts and desires of His Heart and Mind, God revealed to me exactly what I needed to let go of trying to change…He gave me peace about just letting it go. But on the flip side, He revealed to me what I absolutely did need to change. I felt such a sense of urgency, I felt like I needed to make those changes happen as soon as yesterday! Lol
I asked God for help to stop obsessing over the stuff that just isn’t in my control…And to get laser focused and clear on what I need to pour my time and energy into. How to be discerning about who and what is in Divine Alignment for my life.
And …I asked God to help me release to Him anything that I just need to walk away from, or just leave entrusted in His loving care.
Friends, if any of you would love prayer about any of this, it’s my happiness and joy to pray along side you …right here, right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice!:) Are you at a cross roads right now…faced with a choice of either staying where you are ..or taking a chance at doing something you’ve felt deeply compelled to try, but the thought terrifies you?!
To share with you my experience, if this could help you in any way….True confidence comes by doing the things that feel completely out of your zone of “all things familiar” … and do it over and over and over again… to tap into your zone of genius!
I’ve experienced alot of rejection and disappointment in my life, that could have easily kept me from ever wanting to put myself out there again…
But every time I attached a higher meaning to why I would even consider putting myself out there…The pursuit of a Purpose much Higher than myself...Those rejections triggered more fire in me than fear, to rise above and go after what I know with all my heart, this Higher Power, I personally refer to as God…absolutely meant for my life!
I would rather be the warrior who went through hell and chose to not stay defeated, by taking every bloody loss …and use it as a way to become a powerful source of inspiration to others.
One of God ‘s infinite specialties is taking epic failure and turning it into an epic win!
I would rather be that warrior who went through hell, and chose to rise above despite wanting to just give up… than God forbid live on the side lines wondering …What if?
My friends, if you are needing prayer about having the courage to do the thing that scares you… I want to pray along side you right here…right now…
Hey friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always always here w you to be your encouraging voice! :)
I wanted to talk to you about, what do you do when you’re overwhelmed with emotions that feel intensely negative and overwhelming…You want to find the positive, but the intense frustration you're feeling almost feels like it could eat you alive.
I wanted to share something that helped me in the most powerfully, impactful way... in hopes it could help you, if this is something you might be struggling with.
Reaching out to a Power, infinitely greater than myself… This Higher power I refer to as God, is what helped me to work through those negative feeling emotions.
I used to feel so guilty about feeling this stuff until I felt God impress on my heart that He wants us to come to Him with all of our emotions, all the baggage… and release it to Him.
I felt God impress on my heart, that He wants us to come to Him authentic and raw… and completely for real… because you can’t have true intimacy with someone you can’t be real with.
I felt moved to pray that God would take what felt like bottomless rage and frustration, and turn it into bottomless Faith and Miracles.
And in that moment, I felt the heaviness lift off of me…
God’s Love contains literally everything you could possibly need to navigate your life…whether internal or external…Whatever you have need of…what is in perfect alignment for your life….He will provide out of the infinite outpouring of His love.
My friends, if you are needing prayer about any of this I wanna pray along side you, right here right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice!:) I wanted to share with you about a conversation I had with a dear friend of mine about birthdays, and if you feel like you aren’t where you wanna be in life or where you’d hope you’d be by now… it can really make that birthday be something you just want to fast forward…
So for me personally, I’ve always been hyper goal driven, which definitely has its place and serves a purpose…But I’ve come to realize that sometimes what you are hoping to achieve within a certain time frame, doesn’t happen within that time frame because you are in the midst of a Divine preparation.
This Higher force in the Universe, I personally refer to as God …is far more concerned with who you are becoming more of everyday…and preparing your pathway to receive what is in perfect alignment for your life… to be manifested at a Divinely appointed time.
It's far more impactful, and a life well lived …making a positive difference in every way you can, everywhere you go … right where you are in this moment in time.
Love those you love with everything you’ve got, no holding back…. Express gratitude to all those you appreciate .. never hold that back.
The difference you’re making along the journey …may end up outweighing the actual destination itself.
Friends if you or someone you love is needing prayer about finding significance and meaning where you’re at right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice! :) I wanted to reach out to anyone who’s struggling with feeling inadequate to fullfill something you might feel called to do…but you second guess yourself and just can’t get passed the picture you have in your mind for who else would be a way better fit.
This thing called Imposter Syndrome, holds a lot of people hostage from stepping into their purpose and calling.
I’ve wrestled with this myself in the past and wanted to share how I overcame that monster…
Several years back, I had this overwhelming sense in my heart that God wanted me to encourage others through speaking... But I was painfully insecure w my speaking voice.
It was such a struggle because I felt this calling so strongly on my heart…I couldn’t ignore it if I tried, so instead of trying to ignore the calling…I’d try and ignore my insecurities …And keep putting myself out there with the mindset …God put this on my heart for a reason… it isn’t about me… someone out there needs what I have to give.
Look at it with the intention of wanting to serve to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Do what you can do with everything you got…and trust God with the rest.
Friends, someone out there is going to be so grateful you said yes to what is calling your heart.
if you or someone you love is struggling with feeling inadequate, but you know there’s something you are called to do…I wanna pray along side you, right here…right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always always here w you to be your encouraging voice!:)
I’ve come to realize, that letting go and Surrendering into the flow of a Higher Power, I personally refer to as God…Will bring you into perfect Alignment with all that is meant for your life.
What brought me to that realization, is the bajillion reasons God has given me to trust him throughout my life!
But I ll be transparent with you… Trusting God is a daily practice, I have to practice everyday. Sometimes how God shows up, is completely not what you were expecting….
But infinitely better.
To share with you one of many examples…Several years ago, when I prayed that God would miraculously transform a highly toxic relationship…
God answered it differently than I thought He would, but far greater.
It turned out to be one of the greatest turning points of my life.
He healed me from all that was holding me back from having a healthy relationship with myself.
He showed me how to love and value myself, by helping me to see myself through the lense of His unconditional love… instead of the lense I used to see myself.
Friends, I can tell you with 💯 certainty that God loves and values you ferociously as His own. He cherishes you, because your existence is part of His Heart.
If you or someone you love is needing prayer about Trusting God and surrendering into His Flow for your life…
I want to pray along side you right here right now…
Hey friends! I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice! :)
I wanted to reach out to you today, if you happen to be in a situation that is just about wearing you out...You are doing everything you know to do within the scope of your ability and control, but there’s this gap between where you are... and a significant change that just really needs to happen. You literally are doing everything you know to do …but it just seems like there’s no hope.
My friends, the most powerful thing you can do is be open to a Force that is far greater than yourself… This greater force…This Higher Power I personally refer to as God…desires intimate relationship with you. He actually wants to take every detail of what you are struggling with, and turn it into something that fulfills a Higher plan and purpose. Ironically, not just for you… but for all those you are meant to be that inspiration for!
When you reach the end of what you can do… is your invitation to experience God do what only He can... WHEN you stand in Faith and truly Believe.
Genuine Belief is the bridge between where you are …and all things possible.
Without genuine belief, there is no bridge.
If you or someone you love is struggling with something beyond your control and need help with letting go and trusting God …I wanna pray along side you right here…right now…
Hey Friends! :) I’m Jennifer LaGuardia, always here with you to be your encouraging voice!:)
Those close to me know that I attribute every positive in my life …to a Higher Power I personally refer to as God.
It’s how every heartbreak, disappointment and “what in the world was I thinking”?!…”what was that all about~situation”?!!! Lol…All the negative I’ve experienced throughout my life…turned into life changing purpose and miraculous moves forward.
This happened through my relationship with God.
I’ve come to realize, that being in total alignment with God, is how you get through anything! It’s how you ultimately attract what is in Divine Alignment for your life…It’s how you become all your were created to evolve into…
When you Align yourself with God… You open up the gateway for possibilities infinitely beyond what you could have originally planned for!
It definitely does not NOT eliminate struggle.. In fact aligning yourself with God, ironically …you may come up against this really bizarre resistance. But I can say this to you with 💯 certainty…When you stay close to God… When you stand in Faith… You have access to the Power of God in ways that can move mountains in your life…and impact all those around you!
If you or someone you love is needing prayer about how to come into alignment with God, or go deeper with Him…it’s my happiness and joy to pray alongside you right here, right now…
