I just want to tell you a little story that some of your readers may relate to and hopefully help / encourage them as well.

Ever since I realized I needed Christ, I always knew that but I never really pursued Christ until I was about 23, I am now 36. I accepted Christ at age 23, but there was a lot of problems in my life, and I could not really get anywhere in my relationship with Jesus. So I asked help from Pastors and Leaders in numerous Churches but I was turned away, rejected, looked down upon and ostracized for reasons I do not know and understand. I also just was judged and belittled by other Christians because of my financial situation, my lack of social standing etc.
Let me give you a few examples:
- As I said at age 23 I gave my life to Christ, and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour. I met my future wife and I moved in with her. I joined the Working Youth Group of the church I was attending and we had gatherings every Wednesday evening. During my time there I felt led by the Holy Spirit to tell the Youth Leader that we need to pray more for the youth. So the following Wednesday I spoke to him after the meeting and told him exactly that. His response was the following: “If God want to tell me something, He will tell me Himself, He will not use you!”
- At another Church, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit about my addiction to pornography. In church there was a woman that sat right in the front row of the church every meeting. Whenever she stood up, be it for the singing, praying or whatever, her pants was below her bum, and all you see is her bum and g-string. Now having a problem with lust, and seeing that woman’s behind every time in church, did not help me overcome. So I made an appointment with the pastor, I told him about my problem, also the woman and that I do not want to be tempted every Sunday as I am trying to overcome lust, and she is not making it easy to focus on the teaching being given. I asked him to please speak to that lady and ask her to please wear proper clothing when she comes to church. His response was: “Bugger-off out of my church, the day that you are saved, you can come back!”
- At yet another church which I attended for almost a full year, I got ostracized as well. What happened was that during early April that year my wife fell ill. For about six months I asked the pastors, leaders, elders to come pray for my wife. Nobody came. Not once did someone from church come to my home to pray for my wife or even just for a visit. After about 6 months my wife got better. By the end of that year the church had a “Testimony Evening” to give people a chance to witness about what God did for them during that year, and all the well respected members of the congregation came forward and testified of what God did for them after the pastors/ elders / church leaders came to pray for them. I noticed a lot of that “Miracles” happened during the same time that my wife was ill and I so persistently requested that same pastors / elders / leaders to come pray for my wife. So, after that service I went to the pastor and asked him why none of them ever came to my house to pray for my wife, but the went to all the Well respected members with the grand houses and cars and high paying jobs? Guess what, he could not answer me.
- At yet another church I attended after my divorce, I was very lonely, and once again, nobody befriended me, nobody was interested in knowing me, all I got was a smile and a handshake every Sunday and a false “how is God blessing you this week my brother?” So one Sunday evening I could not handle the loneliness anymore and I spoke to the pastor after the meeting and I cried because I could not cope with everything going on in my life any more. The response was a pat on the back and a “Don’t worry, you are a deep son, at the right time God will make everything better.” And off he went to have a cup of coffee with the respected members of the church.
How can someone going through hell in their lives accept that God really do love and care for them if that is how the Church Leaders treat them? I could not get help at one church I attended in 12 years in this city of Pretoria, South Africa where I am staying.

So I decided I will not go to any church again, until God shows me that He loves me and help me.
So after about a year, someone from work invited me to a cell group. I started going, weary as hell about being rejected all over again, and for the first time, the people did not care what I was wearing, that I do not have a car, big house, or anything like that. They did not look me up and down when I met them; they all looked me straight in the eye. I spoke the pastor leading the meetings one evening and explained my life situation and that I seriously need help. He then suggested I go to a Counselling organization called Turning Point Counselling Network, and through them I met a woman called Ilze, and through Prayer and Counselling God has turned my life around. So much in fact that I had the courage after reading one of your articles on your blog after following the link on Facebook to contact you. Through my sessions with you I am really helped and every time I am left speechless because you help me to see things that I never before could.
You inspire me, and help me tremendously and I want to thank you for that. You are an awesome woman and your ministry as a Life Coach will grow and you really help people. Thank you Veronica and I will sure recommend you and your ministry to anyone who seeks help.
Yes there is a lot of Church leaders who treat people the way these guys did me, but there are also people like yourself and Ilze that really care about others and are willing to help them despite things they go through in their own personal lives.
Warmest Regards,

Karla Navarro, Professional Hairstylist.

A young woman that went through my dark season in my early 20′s. I experienced an emotional break up and ready to let go of God, me and my family. Raised in church but had lost hope and FAITH. My heart was shattered and could not see more for my future. How my amazing Friend which I call her ‘my Big Sis’; she’s helped me when I had experienced anxiety attacks. Through her warmth and words of hope she was an open vessel from my Creator, which i choose to call my Papa God. She reminded me of my worth as a creation, as a child of God and as woman! I was damaged from my childhood through old belief systems and religious extremes and I know that my Father God didn’t form me just because. My spirit was dead, my soul was damaged and my body was manifesting the sickness, thru my stress, tension, lack appetite and sleep because of my anxious heart. Veronica was a woman that stood next to me. She never stopped listening. I never felt condemned or judged. The trust I developed with her was tremendous. The Healing and finding my identity was a choice and so was being open to let go of all old ideas and start NEW! The season that she was a part of my life has left its mark permanently. Her words of inspiration, encouragement and HER PRAYERS and affirmations of my WORTH will never be erased. Veronica is a blessing and Angel that has gone thru all you can imagine emotionally! So, believe ME when i say this…

She is a ‘SOUL WHISPERER’ that will not leave your side ..She came in my life and coached me thru my pain and healing & restoration. MUCH LUV BIG SIS!♥

The Best Life Coach You’ll Ever Meet

Hey everyone! Well, I know I blog about many health-related subjects specifically relating to our muscles, bones, and much more, but we all need spiritual guidance which may or not involve religion.

We are all human beings and we all need to have other human beings to rely on whenever we’re in need of almost anything -it’s science and no one can disprove it.

I’ve met many life coaches and I’ve come across one that I now consider a very close and personal friend. She’s a lovely woman named, Veronica.

Veronica also is known as the “Soul Whisperer”. She has helped many many people through the toughest of times and really brings the simplicity and sanity of your mind you might not be able to tap into in this point in time that will allow you be able to relax and operate as normally as you wish you would.

She knows what she has talking about and she has been in the worst of situations as many have.
Not only may she be able to relate to your situations, but she does a terrific job at making you feel better.
Even if you’re not dealing with anything tough, I’m sure you know someone that is -show them Veronica and truly be there for them. She will have one of the biggest impacts on their lives and I promise you that.

She helped me -I strongly recommend her to all of my readers.

Peace is accepting who you are, loving others freely without expecting a reward for it, and forgiving yourself when you do something wrong, doing something because you want to, accepting others the way they are made and appreciating their differences, MOST OF ALL accepting that God loves you the way you are.

Before I came to know and embrace this peace, my life was full of regrets, guilt, low self-esteem, anger and pain.  My facebook friend Veronica posted her website on facebook where she talked about, her gift and all that she could do. Among the list of the things she could help you find where: Inner peace, Healthy relationship and self-worth.

Veronica offered to help me and all I had to do is set the time. We meet on Skype due to the distance me being in Africa and I told her I needed help with Inner peace, Healthy relationship, and self-worth.

I used to control my relationship with being nice to my friends and go an extra mile to please them. In that, when they didn’t give back to me the kind of friendship that I expected, I would get angry with myself or feel guilty for doing something wrong to them or not doing enough.  I would get easily offended with people and very good at pointing out their wrongs. Life to me was not fair. I tried so much to please people but didn’t get what I wanted. When it came to God, I always came to him with so much guilt of things I have not done and wrong things I did.

My life was full of guilt all the way around and, all I knew was, how to get peace through acts like fasting or asking someone to pray for me who is more deserving . I always thought God loved some people more than I and I thought something was wrong with me. I moved within many churches looking for answers and boy each church has its different take on circumstances but, all the churches pointed me to things I had to do and prayers I had to pray once. I did them for a few days and failed to continue but then felt very guilty for not finishing what I had to do, which meant I could not get the answers to my prayers.

As we talked with Veronica helped me find the root cause of guilt and guided me on how to deal with it, helped me discover more about myself and other people and also the wrong beliefs that made me guilty all the time. I got a lot of knowledge from this coaching for which am putting to use. I see a better person developing every day, one that I had wished for once upon a time, but now learning to just be me and Love me more. It is so relieving to approach God without fear, knowing that He loves me and that there are no expectations within our relationship.

I have hope that there are great things and great relationships developing. I am living, loving and enjoying one day at time.

September of 2010 I lost my two teenage children ages 17 and 19 in a car accident. The driver of their car sped recklessly around a turn, losing control of the vehicle. Their car flipped many times before coming to rest upside down at the bottom of a full water canal. I was devastated. My babies were suddenly and unexpectedly gone and I felt utterly lost. It didn’t take long before the days seem to blur together; numbness and tears seemed to be a constant and unwanted companion. I didn’t want to leave my room nor my bed.

This is when My Life Coach, Veronica Schultz, “The Soul Whisperer” came into my life. Through our sessions, she helped me recognize that my identity was wrapped up in my babies and that I needed to fine me again, to find my purpose in life. It didn’t take many sessions with her before I began to find myself and my purpose in life again. The color of life started to return slowly. I learned how to manage my pain in a healthy way… and she always kept me encouraged and uplifted. Those times when felt like I was spiraling downwards, retreating inwards, she pulled me out and steadied me. There were many times I didn’t know how to express my pain or my worries, but she helped me find the words I needed to hear, what my soul, my heart was telling me. This became an important process because as time went by, I realized she was training me to hear the whispers of my soul. I started to get back into life, go out with family and friends and find joy again. I have moments when I cry and even break down. It’s to be expected when we suffer loss like I did. But Veronica has given me the tools to come out of those moments rather quickly. In January 2011 I returned to work; and this is what I want to share with you…

It was my second week back to work when my coworker approached me. She was astounded that I was able to move back into work like I did. “You’re so strong”, she said. Then she brought up our friend who lost their child some time back and how she fell apart. “You look and act different than her”, she said… and wondered who I was seeing. I told her I had a life coach.  I suppose her remarks surprised me, because it can be a bit harder to see ourselves the way others can; but isn’t this an amazing tribute to Veronica’s expertize, her love, patience and ability to help others!

I am so grateful Veronica has helped me move through this horrendous circumstance, which is done by taking one day at a time. I’m convinced that if I had Veronica when I went through my divorce, it would not have taken me two years to find some semblance of mind, as it is, it’s been four months since I lost my babies and I’m back on my feet. Life continues, whether we participate in it or not. I was skeptical at first when Veronica told me in our first sessions that I will be able to find joy again and be able to remember my babies with a smile instead of falling apart. But it’s true and it has been a great reward to be able to find my joy again, even when I remember my beautiful babies.

God put Veronica in my life at the perfect moment. I was struggling to overcome an Anti-Depressant addiction. My walk with God was almost non-existent, for I believed that God was angry with me. Matter of fact, I didn’t belive He liked me very much. I had no sense of who I was and followed the church crowd. I was swayed by what others told me, whether right or wrong and this tragically affected any relationship I had with God, and others.

When I met Veronica, my trust in others had been shattered. I wanted to trust her, but was simply too scarred by past experiences. However, she was loving and patient. Before I knew it, I was comfortable sharing everything. God always revealed to her the right thing to say to me. I finally had a best friend who I didn’t have to hold anything back from.

Eventually, she helped me become my own person. She taught me God didn’t hate me and how to speak my mind. She taught me so much. Life was feeling very bleak and dark when I met her, but her help saved and changed my life. I’ve since found the inspiration to lose 40lbs, but my goal is 100 lbs,  finally able to overcome several addictions. Thanking God everyday for Veronica. She’s my Best Jesus Buddy
