One of my favorite scriptures comes from 1 Kings: 19: 9-12

There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What

are you doing here, Elijah?”

“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken

Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left,

and they are seeking my life as well.”

Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to

pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD,

but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in

earthquake.

After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still,

small voice. 

I'll be sharing this scripture as an introduction to "Responding to the Nudge", the topic of my next motivational speaking

engagement.

We receive nudges every single day.  Some may be subtle, like the still small voice, while others may be more direct, like a red light!  How we interpret these nudges, and respond to the reason for the nudge, comes from our understanding of how God's Holy Spirit works in our lives.

A sample of some of the insights I'll be sharing include:

"Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen." ~ Pete Carroll

"There's a saying that goes, 'The universe gives you a whisper, then a nudge, then a push and then an anvil on your head." ~ Sara Genn

How do you know when to act, and when NOT to. Nudges speak to us, when we are about to speak or act out of alignment with God’s desires. Not all nudges are for others. Some of them are for us!

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything, worthy of praise, think about these things.  Philippians 4:8

I'm available for speaking engagements for any Christian groups, including both men and women.

Send me a message to learn of my availability and some of the topics I can develop for your next meeting or retreat!

In the meantime, watch and listen for God's ever-present nudges, and decide how you will respond to his promptings!
