I don't feel depressed. I haven't lost interest in these things. I just don't do them. I'm excited about the possibility to accomplish my goals and the idea of being an independent woman, but I have trouble acting on it. I don't have trouble dreaming about the life I want, but I don't know why I don't do what it takes to make it happen. What the heck is wrong with me? How do I get that focus and discipline now that I am out of such an oppressive and damaging marriage?

Why do we try and box God in? I haven’t a clue but I sure have been guilty of this myself a time or two. When I think about it, it’s so ridiculous to think that a God so big and so wondrous could be made to fit into our human comprehension. It’s truly laughable.

"Why has God given Christian Coaching to the Church at this time?"
The retreat leader who asked this question to a group of Christian Coaches said that he wasn't sure that the Christian Coaching movement as a whole had a clear answer.

The answers from the audience were similar. The theme was that God isn't done in human history, that The Church is His chosen vessel through which He wants to accomplish His purposes and Christian Coaching is a way to strengthen it.
