Sometimes women feel God’s presence. Other times, it seems like God has completely disappeared from our lives. We can often feel anxiety, sadness, or mistrust of God in these times.

The Questions that Haunt the Hurting

During unspeakable loss and horrific evil, many women doubt where God is. Heartache forces us to confront the ugly questions we otherwise would not ask. Some questions haunt us deep into the wee hours of the morning.

We ask things like this:

• Do You worry about what happens to me?
• Does my pain matter to You?
• If You are good, why does life hurt so much?
• Why did You not stop this?
• Why will You not take this away?

Why Is God Quiet?

In response to these types of questions that threaten to rip at your soul, it seems as if God is quiet. Insult to injury. Abandonment in the face of most profound sorrow. Why is God quiet?

Prayer warrior, and the man after God’s own heart, David wrestled with similar questions during his lifetime. In Psalm 13:1-2, while taking...

I know that there is a distinct difference between being nice to others and being a pushover. For this reason, when I feel offended by others' comments and feel as if their comments are mean-spirited, I stand up for myself.

I am the type of woman that likes to avoid conflict. I normally tend to agree with others basically for the sake of dodging an awkward situation. Though a lot of people might not be fond of these personality traits, I find them to work just fine for me.

But, my attempts to avoid conflict are discontinued when others intentionally try to tear me down. I need a right to stand up for myself. I make it a point to put others in line if they say something that hurts my feelings.

I love to live in harmony. But if I choose to let others walk all over me, I pay the price emotionally later. So, I choose to protect myself by standing up for myself. When someone attacks my competence or negatively affects my emotions, I prefer to say something.

I speak my mind w...

Life can often feel like a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected obstacles. Sometimes, we feel stuck, uncertain about our direction, or overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. Having someone to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and encouragement, can make all the difference in those moments. That’s where life coaching comes in.

Life coaching is a powerful, goal-oriented process to help individuals achieve their personal, professional, and spiritual aspirations. Whether you want to enhance your career, improve relationships, develop healthier habits, or grow in your faith, life coaching provides the tools and strategies to make meaningful progress. This blog will explore how life coaching works and why it is a valuable investment in personal growth.

What is Life Coaching?

At its core, life coaching is a collaborative partnership between a coach and a client. The coach’s role is to help clients identify goals, create action plans, overcome obstacle...

Marriage is a sacred covenant, a union that reflects Christ's love and commitment to His church. For Christians, marriage goes beyond a legal contract; it is a spiritual and emotional bond designed by God Himself.

But what does it truly mean to have a Christian marriage, and how can couples ensure their union aligns with God's will?

Let’s explore the key elements that form the foundation of a strong Christian marriage.

Christ at the Center

The most important aspect of a Christian marriage is having Christ at the center of the relationship. When both partners seek to honor God in their marriage, they create a firm foundation to withstand life's challenges. This means prioritizing prayer, studying the Bible together, and seeking God’s guidance in all decisions.

“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12

 

This verse beautifully illustrates the strength that comes when a husband and wi...

An exceptional and effective co-creative tactic for encouraging women to attain their goals and unlock their full capacity is Christian Life Coaching.

A Christian Life Coach is a professional that will make you successful. Unlike therapists and consultants, coaches do not provide answers to problems. Instead, they work collaboratively with clients to help them discover their insights and develop personalized solutions.

This coaching design's primary objective is to guide and support women in defining and accomplishing their objectives, discovering their hidden talents, and fulfilling their God-given calling. Women who want clarity about their lives and achieve their goals can benefit greatly from working with a life coach.

Psalm 27:3 KJV – “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.”

Through a collaborative and personalized process, a life coach helps clients identify their streng...

One of the most critical skills a marketer must have is creating a tribe that knows, likes and trust them. Being able to rally people who have a common need, common goal, or shared interest builds a network of people who want to buy.

As your business grows, you have the opportunity and the duty to engage and deliver. Not only your goods and services but access to you as the leader and producer of the goods and services you provide.

Building a Tribe of People Who Know, Like, and Trust You

In most cases, people buy from people they know and trust. Much of sales are referrals and personal connections. People like to do business with the people they like. Unless your agency is so big, it doesn’t rely on advertising or marketing. It would be best if you made items feel personal to outshine the marketplace.

Here are the critical aspects of building a tribe that knows, likes, and trusts you:

• Be valuable
• Be credible
• Be generous
• Be accessible
• Be genuine
• Be Consistent

Happy - a state of well-being and contentment that we reach when we feel satisfied.

This so-called ‘pursuit of happiness’ is a mission that takes most women the majority of their lives but never really seems conquered. We put a lot of energy and thought into things and people supposed to make us happy, to find out that they can’t.

Your attitude impacts your entire life. Your career, happiness, relationships, and satisfaction are all affected by your attitude.

Do you generally have a positive attitude? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? How do you think this influences your life?

Use these 12 strategies to maintain a positive attitude:

1. Plan your exciting future. Having a future that excites you makes it easy to feel optimistic about life. Even if things are challenging today, you can look forward to an exciting life.

2. Motivate yourself. Think about the kind of life you would like to live. Plan your future and ensure that it is pleasing to you. It should be ins

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” - Mother Teresa.

Remember how you have felt before when you had a tough day, and someone smiled at you?  Or when you helped your neighbor carry in groceries, and how she still thanks you to this day? Any small act of kindness can make huge impacts on a person’s life.

Small acts often lead to huge ripples. A small act can change the life of a person, who then can perform a kindness for someone else. And the cycle continues to grow - improving everyone's mental health.

No matter how small or large the kindness is, it is likely to affect your mental health greatly. According to psychologists and researchers, small acts of kindness create a rebound effect on not only the receiver’s psyche but yours too.

For instance, a smile increases the receiver’s comfort level and makes them more contented. It also leaves you in a better mood too. A simple smile could be the reason someone is lifted out of despair.

Conversations Start with Sharing

In many ways, women look at conversations as simply sharing. Perhaps you share how your day went with your kids, your husband, or even your pet. Maybe you share about a struggle you had with a co-worker or a funny event that occurred at school.

An active prayer life is essential to your spiritual well-being. Prayer is a conversation, so start with simply sharing. Talk to God about your day. Tell Him how you feel about events, whether good or bad.

Ask Him for what you need. Maybe that is knowledge to understand how to take the helm on a complicated project at work. Or perhaps you need strength to continue caring for a sick member of the family.

Pray with All Emotions 

We learn from how Jesus prayed in the middle of pain. He turned to God the Father. We can also turn to God during our struggles and pains. God waits to hear from us and listen to our prayers, just as He listened to Jesus’ prayers in the Garden at Gethsemane.

I strongly think that anger repels happiness. I cannot grasp living a happy, full life if it is also filled with anger.

From a logical standpoint, I think that happiness repels anger just as easily as rage repels contentment. So, I remove anger from my life by only living in a satisfying manner rich with joy.

According to the law of attraction, good attracts good, and bad attracts bad. The first step to deterring anger from my life is becoming an overall positive person. Daily, I move toward greater positivity.

If I feel anger creeping up, I take a minute and breathe quietly to gather my thoughts.

Negative reactions can lead to negative outcomes. Therefore I foster positive thoughts and tell myself I am above stooping to a level of negativity.

I encircle myself with positive people. I nurture relationships in my life. By promoting these relationships, I generate additional positivity in my life.

I also take time for myself. I indulge in comforting activities, su...
