Man.. The timing of this devotional is perfect. I can’t even tell you guys how much time I’ve spent trying to get this whole hearing the voice of God thing down… Jesus Calling is one of my daily devotionals, and I love it –But I really want to feel like I’m in sync with where God wants me to be. So, I’ve been reading an awesome, awesome book on prayer called the The Ultimate Conversation. I just got back into the groove of meditating, like actually devoting time each morning before I get started with everything else to quiet the world around me and hear whatever it is God is trying to say. The trickiest part for me, has always been discerning his voice from all the other thoughts flying through my mind. I once heard someone say that we need to be intentional in our efforts to discern between the voice of God and our subconscious will. Those things that you want, but maybe aren’t talking about
Late nights… Early mornings… And a heart full of anticipation that something beautiful on the horizon… It amazes me that life can look one way in the natural, and yet, I’m able to feel a quiet calm in my spirit that everything is coming together for the good. They say that the cells in your body react to everything your mind says, and that negativity brings down your immune system. So today, I’m going to intentionally push past any doubts, fears, negativity, offenses and be intentional about how I speak to myself. One of my all-time favorite quotes from Oprah’s Life You Want Tour is this– If you are who you say you are, then who are you saying you are? After all this time, I can, literally, still hear the raspy voice of the Soul Cylcle instructor yelling that to us. Buy-in is everything. Remember whose you are, and what you’re believing for. Have a great day you guys! Peace, Love & Sunshine ~ Chels
I’m pretty pumped. This is my first Coffey Break Chat of 2015! It’s funny. I was on the phone with a friend last week telling her about how Cooking with the Coffey’s (a cooking spot I do with my little sister for the site) is somewhat of a comic relief after a few years writing and vlogging about being in the storm and that this year, I just wanted to breathe and have fun with The Coffey Break…
The irony, is that I then proceeded to talk to her for about another hour pouring out my heart about everything from career goals to relationships, and realized that I actually have so much to share!
I guess I’m not really wired to suppress my emotions, much less conversations, especially when it comes to the topic of settling. I’m like noooo! Don’t do it! haha
Join me as I share how I’ve managed to remain dedicated to the vision I have for my future, even when everything is going crazy and those standards seem like more of an ideal than something I could actually be believing for.
The pressure to settle for less than God’s best in regard to one thing or another comes in waves for everyone. My current fight is simple: Don’t let 30 bully me into making poor choices. *Repeat lol
Join us once a week as I finally buckle down to take on the task of learning how to cook. This week we’re making Tostadas! Thanks for watching! Enjoy 🙂 Peace, Love & Sunshine ~ Chelsea
