Are You Following the Prompting?
Whether you believe in God as I do, or call it Universe or Source, there are signs, circumstances and happenings around us constantly.
We pray and ask for guidance, help, knowing, doors to open – and yet, we aren’t paying attention to the answers in this distraction filled world. Or worse yet, we get the answer, but we question, doubt and don’t move forward because it’s not the answer we want. Or maybe it feels too big, too burdensome, and not glamorous enough.
I have had numerous promptings over the years – ones that I KNOW without a doubt are the Holy Spirit speaking to me. One was a literal sign hanging on a chain-link fence saying “God Loves You” in one of the darkest moments of my life. More recently, the nudge I just couldn’t shake was about writing a new book. Seriously – I’ve been fighting this for almost a year. And last weekend, after getting still in silence and solitude, the downloads (I’ll explain those later) started happening. I knew I was saying no in fear and doubt to something God had placed on my heart and wasn’t going to let go. As the week progressed and I began writing (and continued questioning), I thought about who I should reach out to about getting it formatted and published. And then, the email appeared in my inbox – literally within a few hours of that thought.
So here we are – at the beginning. Of a book that will be written over the next few months. It’s all about CALLING, the CALLED Framework™ and stepping into a purpose-driven, season-led, Spirit-filled life. Because your calling – the root of who God created you to be – has always remained the same. But how it is expressed or lived changes in seasons. What do I mean? My calling has always been around creating community while empowering women to see the possibilities for themselves while living their best life while. In my earlier years as a young mom, it was aimed towards young moms in the form of a magazine and the National Assoc of Entrepreneurial Moms. In my 40’s, it was transitioning from my magazines to coaching and creating the YES I CAN movement. In my early to mid 50’s, it was sharing with women going through hard seasons while building a business. And in my late 50’s to where I sit currently at 61, it’s taking all the lessons learned with a faith-fueled focus, stepping out in a bold way to share what God has done for me (giving him all the credit) and encouraging you to lean in and listen to your own inner knowing, guidance system and Spirit-led calling.
We all have a calling on our life. Will you step into yours? I invite you to open the door of exploration, seeking, getting quiet and being still all with the intention of stepping fully into your calling at the stage and season of life you are in today.
The book will be completed and available in Q4. In the meantime, stay tuned as I will be sharing and teaching on the framework. And in the spirit of community building, hospitality being one of my spiritual gifts, join us at one of the upcoming Table gatherings. It’s a great opportunity to gather with other Spirit-led women who are on a mission to make an impact and a difference. Details here!
