Gifts From God

Posted on July 07, 2010 by Adrienne Johnson, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

I know some of the reasons why I go to church. I go for spiritual support. I go to make amends with God through taking the Sacrament. I go to feel connected with Christ. I go to feel connected with people of my faith. I go to teach my children the principles of faith and love. I go to serve others. I go to show my children how to serve others. I go to strengthen our family.

The people in my faith have similar habits. We have our own lingo and we have our clicks. This can be good in supporting each other but it can also create our own little personal bubble. A comfort zone that is impenetrable by the outside world. I remember how weird this new world was when I was first baptized at 22. It seemed like I was an outsider looking in. So many things to learn, so many people to meet. I have to say the transition was easier because I was welcomed with loving arms.

I am blessed to be baptized into this religion later on in life where I can see what new converts are going through. I can sympathize with how “alien” this new world can feel. I can relate to those that have not found Christ and those that have. I can remember what it was like for me before I found my true spiritual side.

What I find truly interesting with all of this is how my life coaching as a career fits into all of this. The group of ladies that I are apart of our coaching are all different religions and in different places spiritually. Yet, I find myself growing in my own faith and religion by associating with them and by learning this skill of life coaching. I really feel that this is such an incredible blessing. I know that I am in the right place and doing the right thing when at the end of the day I feel closer to God and to my true self. Meeting these women, finding my calling, and being able to grow is truly a gift from my Heavenly Father.

I know that being a life coach is my calling in life. I know that I have a special kinship and sensitivity with people from all walks of life. I know that if life and Jesus have taught me anything it is to love all, forgive all and serve all.
