Hello Reader,

Can you believe we're already one week into March? For so many of us, this is that time of year when we feel really worn down. The winter blues are beckoning for the hope of spring. The financial hit of the holidays may start lifting, although for those of us living in the US and coming through a hard winter, that relief in light of the circumstances and economy may not feel significant enough.

I get it, on so many levels.

That is one of the reasons I pivoted with the Equipped Group Coaching program, postponing it a month, simplifying the commitment to three weeks instead of six, and cutting the price in half.

Many of us needed that grace of margin, both financially and logistically. And I know it was the right call based on the sign-ups as well as how my nervous system has felt about the change.

So here we are, ready to kick off this week.

There is still room if you want to join in!

But before you do, I want to warn you about something.

While I am super excited to teach this program, I've been caught off guard by circumstances in my life that have come to a head and will make this experience very, very personal.

Let's say, the rubber is meeting the road in my faith.

I'm suspicious that there is a Divine setup for a step up, to quote Beth Moore from a Bible Study I did more than twenty years ago. It is an all too familiar experience that comes before I teach the Word, which is often what Christians would describe as spiritual warfare. In this case, I'm not only presenting Equipped from a Biblical foundation, but I am also preparing to speak at a Women's Retreat mid-April.

My gut is that God is up to something big, not only in me, but in those who will be going through the Equipped Program as well as attending the retreat. On one hand, that is super exciting. On the other hand, well, hard is hard. And nobody likes hard.

So, if you want to step deeper into your faith and experience God in a new way, even if it means getting a bit uncomfortable and facing the challenges and distractions that the enemy will inevitably throw your way, then this is for you.

Take some time to pray. Ask God to show you if now is the time. It is okay to hear Him say, "No, darling, you need to focus on this instead."

Either way, I'm praying for you to sense His presence in your life and to catch a fresh wind with the season's change, breathing hope into your soul and giving you just what you need for today and tomorrow.

Feel free to hit reply and let me know with a word or two how I can pray for you. I'd love for you to pray for me, too, however you feel the Lord is leading.

Still becoming,
