Blessing Abound!

WOW! It has been a whirl wind of a last few months. My new business Reveal, will be kicked off this Tuesday, October 28th! I am so excited. All graphic design, business cards, brochures have been completed! Weekly mailings have started and just this week, when I was beginning to have a 'slight' panic attack over 'will this really work?', I started praying and that afternoon, got a new inquiry and now have a 2nd Reveal scheduled for November 10th! God IS good!

AND I actually know the woman who will be receiving the Reveal that day. She has been heavy on my heart the past two months d/t some major changes in her life. I have been praying asking for guidance on how I can lift her up. When seeing her it looks as if the life has been sucked out. God has blessed me with being able to spend an entire day with her, building her up to feel more beautiful on the inside and outside! WOW!

Web site development should be nearing completion by the end of November. I am excited to begin to develop the platform on which Reveal stands for in order to start promoting myself for speaking engagements and develop the coaching element of the business.

My family of brothers, sisters, mom, dad, and in-laws have started a friendly weight loss competition until Christmas. We even started a blog and now have been communicating daily with each other. Another prayer that I have been asking for building and growing those relationships. Add to that a 10 pound weigh loss and life is good!

My brother AND brother-in-law coach HS football, one in MN and the other in IA. Both teams are currently starting play off action and both are seeded very high in each state. How cool would it be to have TWO state championship coaches in a family in the same year?

I have a wonderful new accountability partner and we meet for coffee weekly and what a blessing having a close, confident in my life has been. I am blessed by her presence and encouraging words.

After a year of turmoil and struggle, remembering my frustration, anger, and confusion at this time last year, the BIGGEST lesson learned is that God gives and He takes away, all for my betterment. It is vital to WAIT, LISTEN, and WATCH for His guidance because you truly can see it transforming your life. However, painful the process may be when you don't receive an answer immediately, there are oodles of life lessons learned on the way, even on the slight detours one takes, and each and every blessing is worth the wait!

More to come in the weeks ahead!

Blessings.
