The week that we celebrate Independence Day is an especially good time to reflect on freedom.

 

In addition to the unique freedoms that we have as U.S. citizens, consider some bondage issues that we often become captive to that our Constitution can’t reach, such as a negative mindset, a bad habit, guilt and shame.

 

The good news is that Jesus came to set the captives free! Hallelujah!

 

A primary focus of coaching includes the process of illuminating and acquiring freedom from all forms of personal bondage.

 

Walking the pathway to freedom with my clients is always a personal privilege for me!

 

Is there anything holding you captive?

Looking to Jesus this past Holy Week reveals what true love looks like. Yesterday, on Resurrection Sunday, we honored the Lamb who endured pain and death as an acceptable sacrifice and gift for all who willingly accept what He did so that we could avoid the eternal punishment of separation from God, spiritual death upon our departure from this world!

 

Acceptance of Jesus’ personal sacrifice for our salvation also empowers us to experience fulfilling, meaningful relationships with others.

 

Jesus’ unimaginable pain and shedding of His blood on our account reflects His choice to love us regardless of the great cost to Him to relieve us of our sin.

 

It is through Christ’s suffering that we have victory. It is through His wounds that we are healed. Victory in Jesus, our Savior!

 

“By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” (1 John 3:16)


Can you fathom the mindset of Christ? Have you accepted His amazing gift?

Happy Monday!

 

Have you been knocked down by the flu or Covid? My son and I both had a bad flu this winter.

 

It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re not able to be productive, read, write, or even keep up on normal, everyday tasks like the dishes and laundry. Everything seems overwhelming!

 

Feeling down and discouraged highlights recognizing my need to trust the Lord in His assurance that He will see me through. It emphasizes the fact that depending on the Lord to keep my mind set on His strength is crucial. In His strength I can choose JOY! It’s a great way to fight the enemy and win.

 

When we’re in the trenches, we need to refuse to give in to discouragement and despair and instead, focus on the Lord and all of the reasons He provides for us to be joyful! We can always trust God’s provisions and love for us even in our toughest moments.

 

Do you need to be lifted up out of the trenches?

Equating your life to a card game, what kind of a hand have you been dealt?

 

If you think you’re a victim of having been dealt a poor hand, a new mindset will help you to move forward, achieve goals and experience some peace.

 

1 Corinthians 2:16 speaks to having the “mind of Christ”. Now that is a mindset to have!

 

Coaching can help you toward acquiring that mindset that will guide you toward achieving a new quality of life, helpful goals and peace of mind. 

 

Could you benefit from talking with a coach about the cards you were dealt, your mindset, and your next move?

I must admit that thoughts of gratitude seldom come to mind on Monday mornings.  I’m usually too occupied with my To Do list and thoughts of my current problems. 

 

Several years ago, I started using a gratitude journal published by my former coach. I made it a daily practice to record three things that I was thankful for. Whatever my circumstances were at the time, highlighting my awareness of all that I had to be thankful for brought a welcome lift of my spirit.

 

Last week, while listening to a talk about morning routines, the Lord nudged my recollection of a closer walk with Him on those days that began with recording my thankfulness. He refocused me on the blessings of this great way to begin the day! 

 

Paul emphasizes the importance of learning to be content and grateful, regardless of our circumstances (Philippians 4:11-13). Everything we have comes from Him. He allows the good, as well as the bad, in our lives. We may not understand it at the present time, but He uses the bad to bring the good in our lives.

 

Putting our trust in the Lord always leads us to a closer relationship with Him and more to be grateful for.  

 

Are you up for including gratitude as an important focus for your mindset to begin and/or end your day?

Looking to Jesus’ sacrificial love, we see what true love looks like. 

 

If we desire to have fulfilling, meaningful relationships with others, then we need look no further than His demonstration to us.

 

True love has a cost.  Jesus chose to love us regardless of the great cost of our sin.

 

“This is how we know what love is:  Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.”

(1 John 3:16)

 

Are you willing to take on the sacrificial mindset of Christ in expressing your love for others?
