Holy Whispers

Holy Whispers. I just love that concept. It makes me think of the quiet, still voice of God, speaking directly in my ear. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

In my coaching world, we've been doing a lot of talking about living & leaving a legacy. It's something that is really tugging at my heart - especially now that I have a grandson. 

None of us knows how much time we have left on this earth. So what are we doing with our time? If I were to pass away unexpectedly, what do I want to leave behind for my kids and grandkids? And I'm not just talking recipes and traditions. I mean, what will they cherish when I'm gone? This blog was a piece of that idea. When I started writing my thoughts down years ago, it was both a way for me to remember what God was teaching me in those hectic motherhood moments - and for my kids to have it to read someday when I'm gone. Now, this blog has had lots of years of dormancy. But me listening to God's leading is why I revived it earlier this year. And that's just one piece of what I believe He's calling me to do.

As an introvert, my circle of trust is very small. Like, there are probably only about 10-15 people who truly know my heart. But what God has been convicting me of this year is that He wants me to be bold in sharing my heart with others. I've said yes to some things this year that are for sure out of my comfort zone. And God keeps "whispering" more ways He wants me to be bold and step out in faith. 

So, before I share my big news, I want you to know this: I would much rather keep hiding. I am an introverted empath with a big, sensitive soul. God asking me to be more bold feels like He's asking me to show up at school without being fully dressed. (Am I the only one who has that nightmare? LOL) But I've been ignoring His "Holy Whispers" long enough that they've turned into "Holy Shouts". And so, here I am, saying a terrified "yes" to what's next. 

Drumroll please...

I'm busy recording the first few episodes of my new podcast: "Holy Whispers"!

It will be a short podcast (15 minutes) where I'll share some things God has whispered on my heart and some life coaching nuggets that go along with it. I hope it's a way for my kids and grandkids (and maybe a few strangers on the internet) to be encouraged in their daily walks with the Lord. And for me to share my heart and the gifts God has given me, in a meaningful and long-lasting way.

So here I am: learning all the techy logistics of this process, praying and prepping the content, and working on my thoughts around it all so that I can birth this new thing into the world!

My little corner of the internet might not be bigger than my tiny circle of trust. And that's ok. But I'm determined to say YES to God's Holy Whispers and to use the time I have left on this earth in the most meaningful ways possible. 

PS - Your prayers are coveted for this whole podcast idea. Until these first episodes are uploaded, there's still lots of chickening out this girl can do. So thanks in advance for every prayer you send on my behalf. ♥

Romans 8: True Self vs False Self

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...

Finishing 2025 With My Soul On FIRE!

 Well, before I get started, I just have to say - if you don't already know - I actually DID start my podcast!!! There are currently 7 episodes out (with one more scheduled to post Saturday). I am having SO much fun with it! I am just so stinkin' proud of myself for doing the dang thing. LOL Whether I'm the only who ever listens to it - or it reaches a few strangers on the internet - I am so happy to be saying a resounding YES! to God's call on this one. So. Much. Fun. Holy Whispers Welcome Episode And, I guess, that leads in nicely to this blog post.  Let's finish this year STRONG! Saying yes to all the things that light our souls on FIRE! Even the things that terrify us! God gave us this opportunity, so let's make it count!  As my birthday approaches in a few weeks, it always gets me taking the temperature on where my life is at. We're almost 8 full months into 2025. What were your goals in January? What are the reasons you're proud of yourself right n...

Letting Go of the Rope

As I've been preparing my speech on Romans 8, God has been speaking to me in multiple ways. I'm sure much of this is because my ears are open to anything related to what I'm studying. But it's still comical to me how many different times Romans 8:5-6 has come up in the last few weeks. I mean, I guess it makes perfect sense - I have been asking God to show me exactly what He wants me to share. And, no surprise, He's been teaching me lots of lessons and challenging my faith muscles a LOT lately.  In life coaching, we talk a lot about "letting go of the rope" in the struggles of life. Every time I say this, I think back to my years at Hope College and their event called The Pull. Picture this: a small river in the middle, a bunch of freshman guys in giant trenches on one side, an equal number of sophomore guys in giant trenches on the other side, and a GIANT rope stretched across & being pulled on for HOURS. The winner is determined by literal inches. Thi...
