When Obedience Looks Different Than You Expected

Many Christian women assume that if they are truly walking with God, their obedience should look similar to others who love Him. When it does not, confusion sets in. Some women act quickly and speak boldly. Others reflect deeply and move cautiously. Some lead with warmth and connection, while others value precision and preparation.

Instead of seeing this as God’s design, women often interpret difference as deficiency.

But Scripture reveals a God who delights in diversity of expression while unifying purpose.

The Lie We Often Walk With (Lie-Locked Living)

The Lie: My way of responding must be wrong because it is not like theirs.

This lie creates unnecessary tension—internally and relationally. Women begin judging their instincts, suppressing their natural responses, or overcorrecting in moments of stress.

Lie-Locked Living shows up as:

• Speaking when silence would be wiser—or staying silent when truth needs voice
• Feeling misu

When Self-Doubt Interrupts the Walk

Often, Christian women begin their walk with sincere devotion, but may quietly struggle with a persistent inner question: Why does following God seem easier for everyone else?

They read Scripture, attend church, and serve faithfully, yet something feels off. They admire women who appear confident, decisive, expressive, or deeply relational and assume spiritual maturity must look like that. Over time, they begin editing themselves—softening strengths, hiding preferences, and second-guessing how God leads them.

The issue is not a lack of faith. It is a lack of understanding.

God never intended one prescribed way to walk with Him. He designed diversity on purpose.

The Lie: If I were more spiritual, I would walk like her.

This lie produces subtle but powerful bondage. Women attempt to borrow someone else’s pace, personality, or practices instead of stewarding their own. What begins as admiration sl...

When the Pace Feels Too Slow—or Too Heavy

Many Christian women are not opposed to following Jesus. They are simply exhausted by the pressure they place on themselves while doing so. They believe faithfulness requires intensity, urgency, and constant spiritual productivity.

When progress feels slow, discouragement sets in. When mistakes happen, shame follows. Over time, the walk with Christ becomes heavy—not because Jesus made it so, but because women attempt to carry what He never asked them to bear.

Jesus does not call His followers to perfection. He calls them to follow—one step at a time.

The Lie We Often Walk With (Lie-Locked Living)

The Lie: If I am truly following Jesus, I should be further along by now.

This lie quietly fuels comparison, self-criticism, and spiritual fatigue. It convinces women that steady obedience is insufficient and that growth should be visible, measurable, and impressive.

When Stillness Is Not Faith

There are seasons when God calls His people to wait—and seasons when waiting becomes disobedience disguised as wisdom. Many Christian women know the difference instinctively, yet struggle to respond when God’s instruction feels uncomfortable.

Standing still can feel holy. It can sound humble. It can even look responsible. But when God has clearly spoken, remaining where you are is no longer neutral.

There comes a moment in every faith journey when God gently—but firmly—says, It is time to move.

In Christian life coaching, these moments are rarely dramatic. They surface as repeated nudges, quiet convictions, or patterns that refuse to resolve. Coaching helps women discern whether their waiting is Spirit-led—or fear-protected.

Faith That Moves

Many Christian women have been taught—often unintentionally—that faith looks like waiting quietly and hoping circumstances change. They pray, believe, and trust, yet remain still, assuming movement would be presumptuous or self-driven.

But Scripture tells a different story.

Walking with Jesus has never been passive. From Genesis to Revelation, faith is consistently described as movement—sometimes trembling, sometimes uncertain, but always responsive.

Jesus did not say, “Stand and believe.” He said, “Follow me.”

“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” — Matthew 4:19 (KJV)

Following requires feet, not just feelings.

Walking implies direction, decision, and discipline. Christian life coaching exists to help women move from inspired belief to intentional obedience. Faith grows strongest when it is practiced with clarity and accountability.

Christian women know Scripture well. Yet knowledge alone does not dismantle deeply rooted lies...

A New Year, A New Walk

A new year has a way of stirring both hope and hesitation in the same breath. January arrives with clean calendars and quiet questions. Many Christian women step into a new year faithful, committed, and prayerful—yet privately unsure whether anything will truly change.

Some do not lack discipline. Others do not lack faith. Many have prayed, served, and persevered for years. Yet beneath the surface, there is often a subtle resignation: This is just how life is.

God does not call His daughters to sprint into January with pressure and promises they cannot keep. He calls them to walk—steadily, intentionally, and truthfully—with Him.

“And Enoch walked with God…” — Genesis 5:24 (KJV)

Walking implies movement, but it also implies relationship. It is not frantic. It is faithful. And it always begins with a step.

Many women begin the year with resolutions. Few begin with reflection. Fewer still begin with intentional alignment. Biblical teaching reveals truth. Ch...

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!

New Year’s Eve is more than the turning of a calendar page. It is a holy threshold. A quiet hinge between what has been and what may yet be. For the Christian woman in business, this night invites more than resolutions. It calls for reflection, surrender, and consecration.

Before new strategies are written, before goals are declared, wisdom asks us to pause. Scripture reminds us, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV). Tonight is a time to look back with gratitude and forward with faith.

Looking Back with Grace, Not Guilt

The past year likely held both fruit and frustration. Wins that surprised you. Delays that humbled you. Efforts that bore visible results, and others known only to God. In business, it is easy to measure success by numbers alone. Heaven measures differently.

New Year’s Eve is not the night for harsh self-judgment. It is the night for holy accounting.

Ask gently:

Renewed for a New Beginning:

There is something sacred about the final days of December. The year stands behind you like a tapestry of lessons, blessings, and battles… and the year ahead whispers softly, inviting you to step into its untraveled paths with fresh courage. The hush between years is a holy pause—a moment suspended outside of hurry, where heaven leans close and the heart listens more deeply.

In this tender space, the Lord speaks a promise that cuts through fear, uncertainty, and hesitation:

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?”
— Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)

A new thing.
A fresh beginning.
A holy renewal.

Not because the calendar changes,
but because God is always at work,
shaping, refining, restoring, and preparing you
for what comes next.

This final Personal Development blog of the year is your gentle invitation to reflect with truth, release with peace, and rise with courage into a new God-given season.

“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” — Proverbs 20:1, KJV

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, a moment to protect what matters most—lives made in the image of God. According to NHTSA, alcohol-impaired driving still accounts for about 30% of all traffic deaths in the United States; 12,429 people were killed in alcohol-impaired crashes in 2023—a tragedy averaging one death every 42 minutes. 

Holiday gatherings bring joy, but also risk. From 2018–2022, more than 4,750 people died in drunk-driving crashes in December alone, and 1,062 died in December 2022, the highest since 2007. The charge is simple: plan ahead, drive only when sober, and help loved ones do the same.

“Let us walk honestly, as in the day… not in rioting and drunkenness… But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Romans 13:13–14, KJV

Crossing the Threshold:

The final days of December always carry a sacred hush. It is the hush of endings, the hush of reflection, and the hush of stepping toward something new. The year has been lived—every sunrise, every shadow, every joy, every tear. And now you stand at the door of a new season, a threshold between what has been and what will be.

Such moments invite the soul to pause, to breathe deeply, and to ask the most searching of questions:

“What do I carry forward?
What will I leave behind?
And how will I cross into the new year—by fear or by faith?”

Hear the Lord whisper over your heart:

“The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
— Exodus 14:14 (KJV)

Just as He fought for Israel at the edge of the Red Sea, He stands ready to fight for you now. The threshold is not a place of trembling—it is a place of trusting. A holy place. A sacred doorway. A moment where peace becomes the path beneath your feet.

Let us walk gently into this closing week of the ye...
