Once I started a beautiful embroidery of Noah’s Ark for my, as yet, unborn grandson. Besides the wonderful and almost therapeutic effect it had on me as I worked on it, I was amazed at the many true-to-life things I learned.
It’s easy to miss a cross-stitch here or there, and I quickly learned that with some it wouldn’t make much of a difference, though with others the whole pattern would go off if I’d continue that way. So I had to undo it to get back on where I got off. (How true-to-life is that?)
Though I had planned to finish it at the birth of my grandson, it wasn’t until his 1st birthday that I was done, thanks to the encouragement and coaching of some good friends to not give up.
Finally it was finished! A sweet 8 year old friend of mine looked at the back –the wrong side, thinking it was the right side and said, “Oh, what an awful mess”. We smile at such a naïve and innocent comment, yet isn’t this the way we look at life sometimes? God always looks at us from the right side, seeing the beautiful pattern of our life including the dark threads, which are just there to add contrast to the beauty of our life.
As a life-coach I can help you look at the right side of the canvas of your life, and help coach you to reach goals which you thought were unreachable.
If you want to achieve your goals and expand your horizons then give me a call for a free life-coaching session.
(At this time, coaching is only done in English.)
