To inspire, written by Deena Siddle
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, 1 Peter 5:6 HCSB https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/1pe.5.6/281
Do you ever run ahead of God?
We all do, over and over again and again. We struggle with waiting for God’s timing.
We question everything is this it? Is this what I was meant to do or be?
He will make the way!

“Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old.
Isaiah 43:18 HCSB

Cast your burden on the Lord , and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Psalms 55:22 HCSB

To give of ourselves is hard even when it it to the Lord.
We have to surrender and become vulnerable to the people we are giving to.
God asks us to give over our burdens so He can care for us. They are His burdens and care also.

As I try to sleep one my first night here there are so many things running through my thoughts. I just can’t seem to quiet my brain down.
I of the things that keeps coming back to me is that this is my time.
Scott also is living in his time.
It has always been one or the other. I step out and then so does he and I give up, or go back to my place, no one told me to, I just do it . Weather out of fear, money or time . I have said on many occasions I am support for all Scott does, he all has always been supportive for me.
So what has kept me from being who God has Called me to be? There is no reason why we both can’t dream and walk in what we each have been called to. It will just look different from what we have had . We will go where God provides. At times that will not be together.
Nine months ago, during a church planter cohort meeting, I was asked the question, “Tell us about yourself.” For some people this is a very simple question, and they will lay out their stats of being married, 4 kids, 8 grandkids and 2 short hairy kids with tails.
Does that really tell you anything about me? No
So now the hard part, what is there to tell? Sure I have done some things in life that are worthy of a word or two, but does it share the heart of who I am?
So, I took some time to get quite with God and asked Him, ‘Who am I?”
This is what He had to say to me.
‘I am called by God to share His heart with others, and I do not need a degree or seminary training to know and share His heart.’
What God has given me is an amazing Jesus story of how He saved the life I tossed away.
We live in a world that is so broken, we are afraid to touch one another in fear of harm. God made me and has called me to comfort those who are hurting. To have a great affection for all mankind. The world has tried to prevent me through fear, from what I am called to do. If I continue to give in, the enemy wins.
God then brought to me the information on becoming a Christian life coach. I had heard about coaches helping folks to lose weight and get healthier, but not in this new light of helping people seek out God and His will in their lives. To be able to share the calling I have felt on my life, and to be a person who can help others reach those goals with God, seems like an answer to prayer!
I am continuing to pray about this and have asked other’s to be in prayer with me. It has become clear this is indeed the right direction for me to pursue.
I’m in planning now to take a professional coaching course through an organization called Creative Results Management, which has an extensive Christian coaching program called the Coaching Mastery Certificate Program. The total program costs $3,247 covers over 40 hours of classroom instruction and in person training, followed by telephone “classes” over the next 3 months, and hours of intern time before final qualification.
This is where it gets tricky and uncomfortable for me. I’m ready to go for it mentally and spiritually. However, financially is where I need some help to achieve this goal. When adding airfare and hotel to the training cost, the total is around $4,500. Which is quite reasonable when compared to secular coaching programs that charge $4,000-$6,500 for similar training that is not Christian based.
I have a quarter of the money already through ministry funds. I’m asking if you would consider a special gift of any amount to cover part of the remaining cost of this training.
