Seeking God’s Will for the New Year – Setting Spiritual Goals

spirituality Dec 15, 2024

As you approach a new year, it is a time of hope and anticipation, filled with opportunities for growth, renewal, and fresh starts. More than setting worldly resolutions, seeking God’s will for your life in the coming year is essential. Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) reminds us, “A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” While it is good to make plans, true success and fulfillment come from aligning your goals with God’s purposes.

In this week’s reflection, you will explore how to set spiritual goals that honor God, deepen your faith, and lead you on the path He has designed for you. By seeking His will and focusing on growth in prayer, Scripture study, service, and personal holiness, you will enter the new year with purpose and confidence that God is guiding your steps.

 

Why Seeking God's Will Matters

Before setting any goals for the new year, it is important to recognize that your life is part of God’s larger plan. Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) declares, “For I know the tho...

Offer Godly Social Relationships as Christian Classmates

relationships Dec 13, 2024

As Christian women, we are called to live in a community that often includes our classmates—whether in school, college, or any learning environment. Relationships with classmates can significantly influence our spiritual journey, and how we interact with them reflects our faith in Christ. It is important to cultivate relationships that honor God, support others, and reflect the love of Christ, even in the context of our studies and academic pursuits.

 

Living Out Our Faith Among Classmates

One of the most important aspects of being a Christian is living out our faith in every area of life, including our relationships with those around us. In Matthew 5:16 (KJV), Jesus reminds us, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." This means that even in the classroom, we are ambassadors for Christ. The way we treat others, the integrity we show in our studies, and our willingness to help others reflect the character of...

Reflection on Spiritual Growth: Best Eye-Opening Year-End Assessment

spirituality Dec 08, 2024

As we approach the end of the year, it is a meaningful time to pause and reflect on your spiritual journey. Taking stock of how you have grown in your faith allows you to see the hand of God at work in your life and helps you identify areas where He may be calling you to grow further. In 2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV), Paul writes, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" Self-examination is a biblical practice that helps you to discern how far you have come and where you can continue to seek God's guidance and grace.

This week’s reflection will focus on assessing your spiritual growth throughout the year. Whether through deepened prayer life, increased trust in God, or moments where you stepped out in faith, your journey reflects God’s transforming work in your heart. Let us explore how you can assess your growth, celebrate victories, and seek God for further direction in ...

Building Uplifting Christ-Centered Relationships as Professional Coworkers

relationships Dec 06, 2024

Building relationships with coworkers can sometimes feel like walking a tightrope in today's fast-paced and often challenging work environments. Christian women are called to reflect Christ's love in every area of our lives, including in the workplace. But how can we practically live out our faith as we engage with our coworkers daily?

 

The Importance of Integrity

Proverbs 10:9 (KJV) reminds us, “He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.” As Christian women, our integrity is key to building strong relationships with those we work alongside. Integrity means being honest, reliable, and consistent in our actions and words. When our coworkers see that we operate with these values, we establish trust, which becomes the foundation of healthy, respectful relationships.

 

Serving Others with Grace

In any work environment, there will be opportunities to serve others—whether through collaboration, offering help, or simply being a good listen...

Informative Reflection on International Day of Persons with Disabilities

personal development Dec 03, 2024

On December 3rd, we come together to observe the International Day of Persons with Disabilities—a day dedicated to honoring the unique abilities, remarkable resilience, and enduring strength of individuals living with disabilities. While this day spotlights the contributions and challenges of those with disabilities, it also invites us to consider the deeper lessons of growth, development, and perseverance that we can all learn from their journeys.

Personal development is a continuous process for everyone, but it often carries a deeper significance for people living with disabilities. It is not simply about achieving external goals but overcoming daily challenges and finding the courage to break through barriers that the world may place in their path. Whether these are physical, emotional, or societal barriers, each step forward is a triumph of will, faith, and determination. This is personal development in its most authentic form: the persistent pursuit of growth despite adversity.

Spotlight: This Is National Handwashing Awareness Week, December 1-7, 2024

health Dec 02, 2024

Every year from December 1-7, we observe National Handwashing Awareness Week, a time to reflect on one of the simplest yet most effective actions we can take to protect our health and the health of those around us—proper handwashing. This practice remains a cornerstone in preventing illness and spreading infectious diseases, especially in today's world, where cleanliness and hygiene have taken on new significance.

Handwashing is not just a basic hygiene habit; it is a powerful tool for disease prevention. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), handwashing can prevent 1 in 3 cases of diarrhea and 1 in 5 respiratory infections like colds or the flu. Simple as it may seem, handwashing can make the difference between staying healthy and falling ill, especially during the cold and flu season.

Why Handwashing Matters

Handwashing is so effective because it removes germs, bacteria, and viruses from our hands. We often touch our faces—eyes, nose, and mouth—without...

Being the Reliable Light in a Dark World – Representing Christ in Daily Life

spirituality Dec 01, 2024

In a world filled with darkness, confusion, and brokenness, Christians are called to be a light that shines brightly. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV), “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” As believers, we are the reflection of Christ's love, hope, and truth, bringing light to those around us through our actions, words, and attitudes.

This week, we will explore what being a light in a dark world means and how you can represent Christ daily. Being the light does not mean you need to be perfect or have everything together; it simply means living so others can see Christ in you. Whether through kindness, compassion, or standing firm in your faith, your life can point others to the hope and pe...

Leading Like Christ: Christian Women Outstanding In Leadership Roles

relationships Nov 29, 2024

Many Christian women will find themselves in positions of leadership, whether in the workplace, in ministry, or even within our families. Being a boss or manager comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to navigating the balance between exercising authority and demonstrating Christ-like love and humility. So, how can Christian women embrace leadership while staying true to their faith and values?

 

Leading with Humility

One of the key characteristics of Christian leadership is humility. In Matthew 20:26-28 (KJV), Jesus teaches us, "But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Christian women in leadership roles are called to lead by serving others. This does not mean we lack authority, but it does mean we prioritize the well-being of our team...

Thanksgiving and the Power of Gratitude: A Life Coaching Perspective

life coaching Nov 28, 2024

Thanksgiving is a special time of year when we pause to reflect on our blessings and express gratitude for the good things in our lives. It is a season of gathering with loved ones, sharing meals, and celebrating the abundance we’ve been given. But Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday; it is an opportunity to embrace gratitude as a way of life that can transform how we feel and live. In life coaching, gratitude is a powerful tool to help you achieve growth, clarity, and lasting fulfillment.

 

The Transformative Power of Gratitude

At its core, gratitude is about recognizing and appreciating the positive things in your life, no matter how small. When we cultivate a mindset of gratitude, we shift our focus away from what we lack and toward what we already have. This shift in perspective is transformative—it allows us to see our challenges in a new light, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth.

From a life coaching perspective, gratitude is more than a feeling;

Embrace the Great Commission – Share the Gospel with People

spirituality Nov 24, 2024

The Great Commission is the final command Jesus gave to His disciples before ascending to heaven. In Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV), He said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” As followers of Christ, we are each responsible for sharing the gospel with others, leading people to salvation, and making disciples.

Embracing your role in the Great Commission is not just for pastors or missionaries. It is a call for every believer to participate in advancing God's Kingdom. Whether you are sharing your faith with a friend, serving in your local church, or supporting global missions, you are actively spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. This week, we will explore what it means to embrace your role in the Great Commission and how you can confidently share the gospel with others.
