A Vision is Coming into Focus
And It Is My Joy!
I’m excited! A vision I’ve had for a very long time is coming to pass! But first let me tell you about the call: In my retirement from active ministry in a church, my call is to reach out to people who have been spiritually abused in their church and to walk with them while they search for their healing. Part of that call involves offering online and in-person events on various aspects of that kind of journey. Part of it involves writing this blog. But that’s not the whole vision.
Here it is: To continue to blog, and to offer online courses, memberships, and original books, and to offer in-person several-day retreats. I could happily create each and all of these entities for the rest of my life. I’ve learned that because of the crazy world we live in, that all of that needs to be offered inside the protection of an LLC. So that’s the legal structure.
I’ve been taking online courses myself, in order to learn what I need to know to help bring all of this into being:
1. An online extensive course on giving multiple-day retreats called “Retreat Blueprint” by Sheri Rosenthal.
2. An interview with Jack Canfield, author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, on how to edit a book I’m creating. The exciting news here is that when my book is published, he will send a video he made of our interview to all his followers (over a million people), and he will write an endorsement for the book! I’m beyond excited!
3. A course from HeartMath.org that will certify me to teach/coach heart coherence and resilience techniques online and in person.
And all of this has been brought to my attention to sign up for serendipitously! In the world of my kind of faith, that means the Lord is leading me through all these learning situations, as a threshold to cross over into the time and space when they will have become part of the foundation upon which I create, teach, coach, and lead. And so, now, can you feel my excitement? It sizzles!
On this blog, I will continue to write on the subject of spiritual abuse, but I will also write on the personal journey to finding healing and wholeness in Christ. Some of what I write will come from having read other authors. Some of it will come from my own experience. And from time to time, I’ll share one of my poems with you. Watch for further news and developments that I’ll share with you from time to time.
Thank you so much for being one of my special readers. I appreciate you more than you know.
