Can You Trust God When You Don't Understand?

The Space Between Knowing and Doing

The Space Between Knowing and Doing Sometimes the greatest act of wisdom isn't deciding what to do. It's pausing long enough to invite God into the equation before you do anything at all. I've learned that simply becoming aware of a problem doesn't automatically make it mine to solve. Yet for many of us, awareness immediately creates a sense of responsibility. We care deeply, so we naturally want to help. But what if God is inviting us into something deeper? What if, before taking action, He simply wants us to become aware of what He's doing beneath the surface? In this episode, we're exploring the difference between reacting out of urgency and responding with discernment. Together we'll discover why the questions, "God, what do You want me to know?" and "What do You want me to do?" can completely change the way we approach the needs and situations we encounter every day. If you've ever felt the weight of trying to solve every problem that comes your way, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, breathe, and discover the peace that comes from inviting God into the space between knowing and doing.

What If Faithfulness Is Asking Something Different?

What If Faithfulness Is Asking Something Different? What if faithfulness is asking something different than what you've assumed? Many women sincerely love God and genuinely want to honor Him. Yet somewhere along the way, faithfulness can quietly become defined by continuing—continuing to carry, continuing to endure, continuing to hold everything together. In today's conversation, we're slowing down long enough to ask an important question:  Have we confused faithfulness with something God never asked of us? Together we'll explore why so many sincere women find themselves carrying things God may no longer be asking them to carry...and how relationship with the Father helps us discern what faithfulness is actually asking of us now. If you've ever found yourself carrying something long after God stopped asking you to this conversation may be exactly what your heart needs today.

Can You Trust God When You Don't Understand?

Can You Trust God When You Don't Understand? There are seasons in life that don't fit neatly into our understanding. Seasons where a door closes unexpectedly. A relationship changes. A plan unravels. A prayer unfolds differently than we hoped. And no matter how much we pray, think, or process, we can't seem to find the explanation we're looking for. Looking back over my own life, I've come to realize that some of the deepest growth didn't happen when I finally understood what God was doing. It happened while I was still living inside the questions. What amazes me now isn't that I eventually gained greater clarity. But rather…how faithful God was while I was in the wait. The way He remained near even when nothing made sense. I've learned that trust with God  isn’t  built through understanding. Sometimes trust is formed long before understanding arrives. And sometimes understanding never fully comes at all. Yet somehow, God remains faithful through it all. If you've ever walked through a season that left you asking "Why?" or "What now?" I think you'll find yourself somewhere in this conversation.   Complimentary Discovery Call [https://calendly.com/lucyann/60min] Connect Via Email [https://www.lucyanncq.com/connect-with-lucy-ann/] Free Gift:28 Days of Coaching Insights-PDF [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFKPO0OncYIpqE2ycXOUXGCy-TzlMxbb/view?usp=sharing] Join the Amazing By Design Email Community [https://mailchi.mp/lucyanncq.com/shdjnkifsy] Shop my books [https://tinyurl.com/Strategic-Faith-Book] Follow Me on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Lucyanncqcoach/] Follow Me on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lucyanncq/]

God Can Only Meet You Where You Are

God Can Only Meet You Where You Are   Have you ever noticed how much time you spend thinking about how you should be somewhere other than where you are? Further along. More healed. More confident. More certain. And because of that, I have witnessed that many women often miss what God is doing right in front of them. They're the seasons where we believe we should be somewhere else. I've noticed how easy it is to look at our lives and focus on what's missing, what hasn't happened yet, or how far we still have to go. And when we do, we often miss what God is doing right in front of us. Years ago, I found myself in a season that felt delayed.  Looking back now, I can see that what felt like waiting was actually preparation. God wasn't withholding something from me. He was preparing me for something. Most of the time we measure progress by arrival. But God  measures progress by formation. And that realization changes perspective. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, delayed, or uncertain about what God is doing in your life,  this conversation is for you.   Complimentary Discovery Call [https://calendly.com/lucyann/60min] Connect through Email [https://www.lucyanncq.com/connect-with-lucy-ann/] Free Gift:28 Days Coaching Insights-PDF [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFKPO0OncYIpqE2ycXOUXGCy-TzlMxbb/view?usp=sharing] Join The Amazing By Design Email Community [https://mailchi.mp/lucyanncq.com/shdjnkifsy] Shop My Books [https://tinyurl.com/Strategic-Faith-Book] Follow Me on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Lucyanncqcoach/] Follow Me on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lucyanncq/]

Living From Who You Truly Are

Living From Who You Truly Are There’s a conversation that has quietly lived beneath the surface of many episodes here on Amazing By Design. What does it really mean to live from who you truly are? In this episode, I explore the difference between living from who God created you to be and living from who you’ve learned you need to be. Many women spend years learning how to show up in ways that help them belong, be accepted, carry responsibility, and meet expectations. Over time, those patterns can become so familiar that we stop questioning them altogether. But what happens when the life we’ve learned to live slowly pulls us away from who we truly are? In this conversation, I unpack: • Why so many women feel lost in their own lives • How self-abandonment can hide behind beautiful words like love, faithfulness,       and responsibility • Why awareness changes everything • The difference between guilt and truth • How trust in God becomes real in everyday life • What it looks like to stop overriding yourself and begin living from who God           created you to be This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who God placed within you from the beginning. If you've ever felt disconnected, exhausted, conflicted, or unsure of what it means to truly be yourself with God, this conversation is for you.   Complimentary Disvcovery Call [https://calendly.com/lucyann/60min] Email Me [https://www.lucyanncq.com/connect-with-lucy-ann/] Join the Amazing By Design Email List [https://mailchi.mp/lucyanncq.com/shdjnkifsy] Shop My Books [https://tinyurl.com/Strategic-Faith-Book] Free Gift:28 Days Coaching Insights PDF [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFKPO0OncYIpqE2ycXOUXGCy-TzlMxbb/view?usp=sharing] Follow Me On Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Lucyanncqcoach/] Follow Me On Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lucyanncq/]
