I just received this message from one of my clients, and I had to share it with you.

Nearly two months ago, they went in for an MRI scan after discovering a concerning lump.

Naturally, fear, worry, and anxiety took hold.

But instead of letting it overwhelm them, they embraced the truths and teachings we’ve been working on: rest, stillness, and trusting in God’s goodness – this is what in teach in my Snuggle Strategy mini-course.

Two weeks ago, they underwent surgery, and here’s the incredible news they received today...

No cancer was found!

Their oncologist was surprised, as all the medical indications and MRI results pointed toward a different outcome.

In their own words, they shared how my group coaching came at just the right time. The teachings were invaluable in helping them understand God’s promises and find stillness in the midst of the situation.

They said they learned so much about rest, peace, and belief, even though there were moments of doubt and fear.

I especially love that they mentioned this because, in Christianity, we often focus on the good stories and testimonies but shy away from discussing the tough moments—the losses, the times when we don't see the healing we hope for.

My goal in coaching is to create a space where we can bring all of it—the good, the bad, and the ugly—together and walk through it in a healthy way, where we're not judging God's promises based on our circumstances. Instead, we're learning to grow into those promises until they become our reality.

It’s not always neat or easy—often, it’s messy. But just like a baby learning to walk, we don’t give up when we stumble. We grow into the fullness of what God has for us.

This client talked about how they kept their emotions in check by actively resting in God’s promises, and as a result, they experienced true transformation.

Rest isn't passive; it's a powerful act of trust, and when we learn to live from that place of rest, amazing things happen.

Looking back through their journal, they realized they had truly walked in the four pillars I teach in my Flourish Flywheel framework:

• Simplicity

• Intimacy

• Intentionality

• Courage

You can't script this.

I’m so grateful for the journey they’ve been on and the support they’ve received along the way from fellow group coaching members.

It’s such a powerful reminder of God’s goodness.

Questions for reflection

1. Where in my life do I need to release control and trust more fully in God's goodness?

2. What would it look like for me to actively "rest" in God's promises, even in areas of uncertainty or fear?

3. Are there any areas where I've been judging God's faithfulness by my circumstances, rather than growing into the promises He has for me?

Bless you,

Lee
