🌟 Why do I Advocate for Marriage? 🌟

As a divorced woman, I often get asked why I'm such a strong advocate for marriage. The answer is simple: God designed marriage to be a profound representation of Christ's love for the church. It's a powerful witness to the world and a sacred calling.

As your marriage coach, my mission is clear: to stand up for your marriage. In the heat of disagreements, remember, it's not about who wins the argument; it's about ensuring your marriage emerges victorious. Because when your marriage thrives, both of you win.

Let's work together to cultivate effective communication and genuine intimacy—spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically—so your marriage can blossom into everything God intended it to be. 💖

🔒 Boundaries vs. No Contact: What's the Difference? 🔒

Are boundaries the same as going no contact? Not quite. Boundaries serve to protect and nurture relationships. They define what we're willing to accept or engage in, and what we need for a relationship to thrive.

Going no contact, on the other hand, involves severing ties entirely. While extreme situations like abuse may warrant this step, it's not the same as setting boundaries.

If you're struggling with establishing biblical boundaries or seeking to mend a relationship after going no contact, I'm here to help. Let's chat about restoring harmony and finding a path forward.

🌟 Moving Past Trauma: A Message of Hope 🌟

Feeling stuck in the shadows of your past? Wondering why you can't just "get over it" and stop repeating the same mistakes? Take it from me – a complicated past doesn't have to compromise your future!

Trauma changes us. It shakes our foundations and erodes our trust, leaving us with maladaptive coping strategies like learned helplessness and codependency. But here's the good news: coping strategies are proof of your resilience. They were learned and can be unlearned and replaced with healthier alternatives.

Through faith and resilience, we discover the extraordinary power within us to overcome the darkest storms and emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. Let your faith be the beacon guiding you through the shadows, illuminating the path to healing and transformation.

Let's turn your ashes into beauty and rise from the rubble as a new creature. Together, we'll discover your strengths, redirect your resilience, and chart a course toward a brighter future. 🌿

🌟 Finding Your Path Forward 🌟

Feeling stuck is like being trapped in a never-ending cycle of questions and doubts. I've been there, and let me tell you, it's demoralizing. But here's what I learned: dwelling on the "whys" only drains our motivation.

If we truly want to shape our future, we must shift our focus away from the past. We must release the grip of "why" and instead set our sights on the endless possibilities ahead. It's about leaving behind what no longer serves us and embracing the journey toward a brighter tomorrow.

I've seen it work wonders in my own life, and I believe it can do the same for you. Together, let's uncover your strengths and harness them to create the life you've always dreamed of. Your journey to greatness starts now.

💫

🎉 Big news! 🎉 I'm thrilled to share that I've achieved dual certification! 🌟 Now, I proudly hold the title of Certified Master Christian Life Coach from the International Christian Coaching Institute, as well as Certified Christian Life Coach from the International Board of Christian Care. 🙌✨ Ready to embark on this transformative journey with even more tools and expertise! 🌿📚

🌟 Crafting Your Dream Life: It's Possible! 🌟

Ever wondered how to shape the life you've always dreamed of?

Let me share a secret: it starts with the lessons learned in the toughest of times.

In the depths of trauma and poor decisions, I discovered a powerful truth: to find beauty, I had to release the ashes. I let go of excuses and committed to the hard work. Instead of dwelling on the past, I focused on building my future – leaving behind what no longer served me.

Perseverance fueled by faith is the key. It is the unstoppable force that propels us through the darkest nights and into the brightest dawns. In the face of adversity, set your face like flint and trust God to be your guiding light. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to His faithfulness and your resilience. Keep pressing on, knowing that with God, all things are possible. You will overcome every obstacle and emerge victorious.

Guess what? It works - & it can work for you too. Together, let's uncover your strengths and harness them to craft the life you desire. Your dreams are within reach – let's make them a reality.

🌟Why Choose Coaching Over Counseling🌟

Have you ever wondered why I chose to be a coach instead of a counselor? 🤔 Let me share a bit about my journey with you!

After training to become a licensed therapist, I realized that while therapy is incredibly valuable, my heart was drawn to a different path. That's when I decided to pursue Christian mental health and relationship coaching. Why? Because my ethics are deeply rooted in scriptural teachings, not driven by politics or culture like some governing boards.

Coaching allows me to integrate my faith into my practice in a way that aligns perfectly with who I am. I have a profound respect for therapy and still incorporate many of its techniques into my coaching sessions. However, coaching gives me the freedom to approach mental health and relationships from a Christian perspective, guiding individuals based on biblical principles.

It's important to note that I'm not anti-therapy. In fact, I work closely with a network of Christian counselors whom I trust and refer clients to when necessary. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and there are times when counseling may be the best option for someone's well-being.

So, why coaching? Because it's more than just a profession to me—it's a calling. It's about walking alongside individuals on their faith-filled journey toward healing, growth, and transformation. If you're seeking support rooted in biblical wisdom and tailored to your unique needs, I'm here for you every step of the way.

✨Let's embark on this journey together! ✨

Part 4 in the Honoring God During Divorce series.

Honoring God during the divorce process is not easy, but it is not too hard for you. Christian, you can do all thing through Christ who gives you strength (Phil. 4:13). Thus far, we have discussed focusing on Honoring God During Divorce, securing prayer support, i.e., Gather the Troops, and how to Feel All the Feels – Then Resolve to Do What’s Right Anyway. Today we focus on letting God be your vindicator.

When your hopes and dreams are shattered, and your reality morphs into something you don’t recognize, our natural inclination is to protect ourselves. As one brother in Christ shared, “...grief and despair can get the best of you and compromise integrity and character. That’s why it is essential to maintain a strong Christian support system around you.” Amen, brother.

Prayer support is vital. Wise counsel is essential. Both things help you maintain your integrity and character and stay in your lane, i.e., God is your vindicator, do not try to do His job.

Self-protection can take many forms—extreme passivity (picture an ostrich with its head in the sand) to severe aggression. Frequently, we land somewhere in the middle. Hardening our hearts to protect ourselves. Lashing out when we feel attacked – seeking what we are “owed” or to mete out the punishment they “deserve.”

The sad truth is that when we do any of those things, we bring pain and suffering to others. We don’t sin in a vacuum; there is always someone else impacted (often our witness, our child(ren), extended family, and friends). Additionally, when we hardened our heart, we dishonor God who removed our stony heart and gave us a heart of flesh (Ez. 36:26) filled with compassion (1 Jn. 3:17).

The amazing truth is that God can bring about justice and vindicate you without causing collateral damage!

Personally, I believe this is one of the reasons God claims vengeance as His own. “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord” (Rom. 12:19).

God sees you (Gen 16:13). He is a God of Justice (Isa. 30:18) and will fight for you (Ex. 14:14).

Choose to follow Job’s example. In the middle of his storm, he believed in his heart and declared with his mouth, “I know my Redeemer and Vindicator lives” (Job 19:25).

For personalized support, schedule an appointment.

In the future, we will explore the following:
· Protect Your Child(ren) (I Kings 3:16-28)
· Trust God (I Thes. 5:24, Rev. 19:11)

Part 3 in the Honoring God During Divorce series.

Navigating the divorce process without compounding the sinfulness of the situation is challenging but not impossible (Matt. 19:26). We have already discussed the importance of gathering your prayer warriors to intercede for you and any child(ren) involved (see Gather the Troops).

Extreme emotional reactions are to be expected. You may experience them as volatile, an avalanche of overwhelming feelings that you seemingly cannot escape, or numbness that robs you of all emotions, good or bad.

Emotions are God-given. They can provide critical pieces of information unavailable to your logical mind. They should not be suppressed nor given the power to determine your course of action. “He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls” (Pro. 25:28).

Now, let’s talk strategy for ruling over your spirit by keeping your emotions in check: seeking wise counsel and guarding your heart and mind.

There are two types of counsel necessary during a divorce.

1. An excellent attorney who can and will execute their duties fearlessly while allowing you to maintain your integrity. In other words, if God leads you to do something that runs contrary to their advice, they will concede. Their goal is to win a court case; yours is to honor God, bringing lasting victory (Ps. 37:37-40).

Even in the most amicable of divorces, an attorney is necessary. The hallmark of divorce is a hardened heart (Matt. 19:8). In other words, your spouse is no longer looking out for your best interest. If they were, you would be on the road to reconciliation, not divorce.

2. Godly men and women who can help you maintain your focus on honoring God. These are brothers and sisters in Christ who do have your best interest at heart and realize that an earthly victory does not compare to an eternal one. They will hold you accountable, provide wisdom from their own experience, and help you think through the implications of your words and deeds.

Most often, we believe our way is the right way. Getting wise counsel can help us see the error of our ways before we are dealing with the fallout from a poor choice (Pro. 12:15). If you enter into this spiritual war without godly counsel, you will fall (Pro. 11:14), but. “by wise counsel you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors, there is victory and safety” (Pro. 24:6).

Guarding your heart and your mind

Thoughts and emotions form a feedback loop. In other words, they exert bi-directional influence. The emotional hub of the brain, the limbic system, is pre-verbal and non-logical. The more “logical” executive functions (forethought and planning, working memory, impulse control, and problem-solving) are in the frontal lobe.

Changing our thoughts is much easier than changing our emotions since they are pre-verbal. I heard once that trying to change your emotions was like trying to ride an elephant. Everything is great as long as the elephant cooperates; once it stops cooperating, you’re just along for the wild ride. Yet, by changing our thoughts, our emotions will change.

God has given us the tools to manage our thoughts and, thereby, our emotions. We take every thought captive and make them obedient to Christ, i.e., bring them in alignment with the Truth of His Word (2 Cor. 10:5). How? By thinking things that are true, honorable, just, pure, loving, kind, gracious, virtuous, and excellent (Phil. 4:8). Are you struggling to find those things in the midst of your divorce? God is all of those things. Think of Him, offer a sacrifice of praise (Heb. 13:15).

Be careful of the stories you tell yourself about your experience. They will become your reality. You may have been victimized – you are not a victim (Rom. 8:37). It is not fair/right/just/insert-your-adjective-here, but God will use it for your good (Rom. 8:28-29).

Guard your heart (Pro. 4:23).

Guard your mind (Isa. 26:3).

For personalized support, schedule an appointment. In the future, we will explore the following steps to success:
· Let God be Your Vindicator (Ex. 14:14, Rom. 12:19)
· Protect Your Child(ren) (I Kings 3:16-28)
· Trust God (I Thes. 5:24, Rev. 19:11)
