1 Fabulous Way to Move Forward Instead of Floundering (and Giveaway)
I am easily discouraged.
Most days, I doubt my crazy is going to change.
I end up floundering instead of moving forward because I am focused on the failures instead of God’s faithfulness.
Thankfully, I have a voice of reason in my life. His name is Craig Huston. He’s the pastor who stood at the end altar beside Bruce on the day I limped up the aisle to officially start my journey as Mrs Dunbar.
These days, Craig is no longer working at the church, but he started coaching. And, we signed up immediately.
At first, I thought we were just being helpful to Craig — He was starting a new business, and we wanted to be supportive.
Boy, was I in for a surprise!
We meet once a week by phone, and every week, he nudges me out of lethargy. He asks tough questions. He makes me think.
When I figure I am stuck in a box of impossibility, my coach tells me to look up and work harder to climb up and over the edge to find the Light.
He encourages me to “do it scared.”
Meeting regularly with Craig has taught me I can’t wait around for the crazy in my life to subside. I must walk through the mire toward the mark God has placed before me.
Working with a coach has helped me push past doubt and fear toward my God-given destiny.
I stopped making excuses.
I started setting goals and taking steps to change my life.
I stepped out of my comfort zone and allowed God to stretch me.
I said goodbye to stagnant living and kicked open the door for the Holy Spirit to move in and clear out the cobwebs of stinkin’ thinking.
Friends, working with a coach has made a huge difference in my life.
This week, I am officially launching my own coaching practice and starting to work with clients — because I want to give back and help others ignite a wildfire faith. To celebrate, I am inviting you to join me for a fabulously fun Facebook party on Thursday evening at 9 PM EST. I will broadcast live and giveaway a few cool prizes.
I hope you will put on your party pants and join me on Facebook for the fun. I’ll also be giving away an autographed copy of Jennifer Dukes Lee’s new book.

The missionary Elisabeth Elliot said, “The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.” My prayer for you and I is that we will continue to press on in every circumstance and passionately pursue the Christ who sets our heart on fire.
