Guided By Grace Life Coaching

  Let's face it - we're all over here doing the best we can, figuring things out as we go. Some days (or weeks) are harder than others. It's called life, right? Thankfully, God isn't surprised when we mess up & He's not a "hands-off" kind of Father. He's always there, nudging us back to the path He wants us on. Sending us instructions and encouragement along the way. We just have to stay tender to His leading. I'm so thankful for the faith growing tools I've added to my toolbox in the last few years. I mean, it's not like I didn't have a pretty good "toolbox" already. I've been a Christian since I was little. Went to a Christian school from Kindergarten through twelfth grade, went to a college that - at the time - still considered itself a Christian school (don't think it does anymore), and have been going to church more Sundays than not since I was born. My faith really started to grow when I became a Mom. Maybe i...

One of the habits I'm loving this year is reading through the Bible chronologically with Tara Leigh Cobble on "The Bible Recap" (you can find it in multiple ways, but here's a good starting point:  The Bible Recap ). I've read through the Bible before, but Tara Leigh's way of summarizing each daily reading has me connecting to the Old Testament in ways I've not done in a while. I love reading verses I've read dozens of times before and learning something new. I mean, it just proves that Scripture is alive and God still speaks! So thankful God gave us His Word, and even more thankful that He gave us the Holy Spirit to help us understand it as we read.  While reading the first few chapters in Deuteronomy, I was catching a glimpse of Moses that I hadn't before. (For a quick overview of the book of Deuteronomy, I love The Bible Project's videos:  Deuteronomy .) Essentially, the book is mostly Moses just reminding the Israelites of everything they...

When I hired my life coach in the summer of 2022, I was amazed at how quickly I saw true transformation in my own life. I knew pretty quickly that I wanted to someday get certified as a life coach myself. With my husband's blessing, I signed up for certification in the fall of 2023, and graduated last June as a Certified Christian Life Coach. I started accepting a few free clients in the fall of 2023, and have been thrilled to be able to coach several ladies since then. I am a general life coach for women of faith - of any age. What a joy it has been to help other women begin to have breakthroughs...even while I'm still experiencing breakthroughs of my own!  Last summer, as I was brainstorming ways I could grow my coaching business and reach more people in my community, I decided to let my town's FB group know that I was available for speaking at women's events or mom's groups in the upcoming year. It definitely was a little scary to put that offer out into the worl...
