Rubbing Shoulders With You Is a Divine Appointment
As Christian entrepreneurs, the comment made after the thrill of an awesome encounter with a like-minded person in business/ministry, “This was a divine appointment,” is blessedly common!
A divine appointment is a meeting with another person that has been specifically and unmistakably inspired, arranged and ordered/led by God. His appointing doesn’t always make the encounter easy, but definitely makes it blessed!
As a coach of Christian entrepreneurs, this is one of the primary blessings that makes my “world go ‘round!“
Thank you for being a part of it!
Take a moment to recall the most recent “divine appointment” God blessed you with. Pray for that special person in your life right now. Consider reaching out to them with an encouraging word!
Rubbing Shoulders With You Brings Growth
As a John Maxwell Team Certified Coach, every time I sign into anything JMT, I am reminded that growth is intentional and lifelong.
As a child and young person, I took growth for granted, assuming that it just happened and I was not responsible to purposefully pursue growth. Now I know better! And, it’s never too late!
Walking alongside Christian entrepreneurs
- being coached by amazing entrepreneur coaches – you always need a coach;
- coaching under the umbrella of Karen Bourg Companies, and
- leading as the President of the {Inter}National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs
I feel, I know, that I have experienced the best of all worlds as I have grown and we have grown together with purpose and intention!
Thank you for growing with me.!
Take a moment to recall the most recent and powerful growth experience(s) in your life and business/ministry. Who is walking beside you? Pray for those special people in your life right now. Consider reaching out to them with an encouraging word!
Rubbing Shoulders With You Inspires Me To Strive To Be Worthy
As a John Maxwell Team member, I am constantly being reminded to lead well and to be led well! That his primary platform – leadership.
I want to choose leaders in my life cautiously and wisely. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time and energy to waste following someone I was never meant to learn from in the first place!
Take a moment to recall leaders in your life that have led you and your business/ministry to extraordinary levels of success worth celebrating! Pray for those special leaders in your life right now. Consider reaching out to them with an encouraging word!
More importantly,
“You are never not leading: someone is always watching and following! Lead well, my friend!”
– Dr. Karen Lindwall-Bourg
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time and energy to waste leading someone I was never meant to lead in the first place! I choose my clients carefully. They choose me carefully! And I am reminded that if I am leading them or anyone, I am responsible to the Lord and to them and to myself to lead “above reproach.” That’s a tall order!
For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach… Titus 1:7-14
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach,… 1 Timothy 3:2
I am responsible to lead with grace, humbly, soberly, in faith, according to my gifts, and with zeal! I want to be more zealous! Do you?
Romans 12
Gifts of Grace
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members,[e] and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,[f] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Take a moment to consider those you have led in life and business/ministry. Pray for those who follow you right now. Consider reaching out to them with an encouraging word!
Thank you for leading me in ways that showed experience, knowledge, and good judgment. even as I led you wisely!
God Bless You!
