"30 Days with God" Journey

Lately, I have been rediscovering a part of my spiritual journey that was shaky at best for the past several years.

It's been an amazing awakening of sorts as I sift through thoughts, emotions, interactions, new discoveries and literal miracles. For many years leading up 'til now, this part of my journey had been difficult as I managed to somehow hold on to faith while also challenging every part of it.

In recent weeks, I've discovered a whole new way of viewing God, scripture, others, myself, creation and our purpose in all of it. It wasn't anything all that earth shattering or new, but it has left a pretty big impression.

As I woke up this morning, the idea came to me to do a 30-day journey with God and see where it goes. While I feel like it has already started in some ways, I am officially starting it April 1st, since coincidentally, there are 30 days in that month.

Each day, I plan to intentionally include these 3 things:

Prayer

A Scripture of some kind

Kindness toward others

I will do my best to recap here each night on my blog.

I'd love to invite anyone into this space to follow along, comment, and either actively or silently participate.

I welcome ANYONE into this journey, but it's most likely going to be a good fit for those who ...

Struggle in their faith

Wonder if God is really there

Doubt a little (or a lot)

Have had faith used as a bludgeoning tool

Have questions - yes, even difficult ones

Have been ostracized or vilified for asking questions or challenging the church status quo

Feel like faith is important but don't know what you really believe or where to begin

Need a space to not feel judged

Need support in their journey

Are wondering who they were created to be

I don't propose to have all the answers, but I will commit to walking this journey openly and alongside you as we navigate and discover new perspectives and truths we may not yet fully know.

If you're here for it, drop a comment and let me know.

Meet Amy Gregory (Coach Amy G)

Hi! I'm Coach Amy G ... a 49 year old empty-nester and proud mama of my one and only son, Jamison, who is now on his own married journey in life with his wife, Montana, who feels like she’s always belonged in our family + the 2 sweet grandpups (Luna & Ember) that we absolutely adore.

I've been married to my incredibly talented and artistic husband, Jason, for 25 years. When he finally gets his website, you’ll be the first to know it here, but you can check out his Instagram for now if you’d like. We love spending time together just hanging out or enjoying some of our favorite things, as well as, trying as much new stuff as we can. We also love exploring our independent sides with our own personal adventures.

The name of my website has truly become my life's mantra. I am a survivor of church and narcissistic abuse and emotional trauma, who almost decided to leave this world in my late-30's. Instead, by some miracle, I found healing and turned cheerleader and mentor for others who have also experienced emotional trauma. I became so passionate about it, that I got certified as an Emotional Intelligence coach to help others on their path to healing and to living a “More Powerful YOU!” life.

I am equal parts terrified and energized by what life holds, but I’m becoming more and more willing to walk through the terrified to find the best there is for me and those in my circle.

So, that’s the quick summary, but if you’re here for the fun facts and some of the nitty gritty ...

I am an extroverted stand-up-and-shout kind of person … probably too much for some people but just right for others.

I am a color-your-world (and mine) type who also loves grays and black.

I am as goofy as I am filled with serious depth and intention. Not everyone gets to see the goofy side to the degree of annoyance like those closest to me do. That's probably a blessing. LOL!

I am a champagne-any-day person because … why not? Isn't every day worth celebrating?

I am a person who loves deeply and openly, who lives life fully and wants to help others do the same.

I am also someone who loves all things essential oils. Those little bottles of plant extracts literally helped save my life. You should see the stashes of oils I have all over + the dozens of unopened bottles I keep on hand because you better believe I just HAD to get them and I’m definitely not going to run out of something important. Seriously, if you don't know much about them, you should do some research.

I am constantly widening my community to encourage more trauma survivors in finding the powerful person who may be locked away but still remains inside them. If that describes you, we should have a little chat.

I also happen to be an entrepreneur who believes the network marketing business model is genius, even with it's flaws, and I'm learning to navigate through those weeds of inauthenticity and unprofessionalism to work toward finding a better way. After trying my hand at multiple different companies in my young adult years, I am now almost 6 years into my current journey, and loving every minute of it.

I’m a tad bit of a coffee (and tea) snob. Yes, I love both!

I am an Enneagram 7, wing 8, and that wing comes out STRONG sometimes, but in the end, you’ll find me often choosing fun over anything else.

I prefer audio books to reading, and I am a personal development podcast junky, but I do sit down with the occasional book from time-to-time.

I love Hallmark and Hallmark-esque movies, especially the Christmas ones - all year round. In fact, I would celebrate Christmas the entire year if I could.

Snow is my favorite. Also, all things fall. Don’t ask. I know it sounds complicated. Haha!

I love most food (not a picky eater . at. all) but seafood, tacos, and roasted vegetables ... feed me any of those and we’re probably going to be on really good terms.

There are lots more fun facts I could share about here like my epic dream trip to Iceland in 2018, my mid-life move from KY to AR in 2020, or just more of my favorites, but if you made it this far, *high five* because we should probably be friends.
