Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! – 2 Corinthians 3:17
Asking God this question, “Show Me What You See” has been a game changer for me. It probably all began thanks to a mentor of mine named Edna. Here’s the story of Edna… Her legacy continues on… “In every challenging situation, there lies a significant opportunity to build God’s kingdom. When division arises, it often…
Where are we headed this Spring? Here’s a glimpse… First, some background… “Higher” was the word I kept hearing last December as I prayed into 2024. As we continue to gather with women in our Zoom groups, we pray FROM God’s promises, seeking His voice, rather than getting stuck merely looking at problems. During Christmas…
In the journey of spiritual warfare, it’s easy to become fixated on the actions of the enemy. We may find ourselves consumed by thoughts of casting out demons, battling darkness, and constantly watching for signs of attack. Yet, in our fervor to combat the enemy, we risk losing sight of the true source of power…
When I see people who say they love Jesus and yet ‘call out’ people for their errors such as ‘misguided beliefs’, I see that they truly don’t understand the cross. I see this all the time. I have fallen into this error myself at times. When I do, I need to pause and pray. Our…
😳 What to do with your Burdens AND Victories….? (This is another game changer for me…) Yes, you’ve heard me say or read in the book that we are invited to hand our burdens over to the Lord. (And what that ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE in the Spirit… If not, please dig into the book and be set…

For the past month, I have sensed Holy Spirit impress on me the truth of what you and I behold (look at), we become.…
Photo by cottonbro studio Dear Beloved, I write to you as someone who understands the deep desire to be seen, heard, and valued. There’s an ache within, longing for validation, significance, and understanding. I see you.I hear you. You express yourself online, sharing your struggles, your hurts, your battles. Your heart spills onto the digital…
🎈 Soaring High: Up in the Spirit’s Wind 🌬️🎈 Photo by Oziel Gómez I’ve been thinking about the pictures I keep getting in prayer – about my life as a captivating hot air balloon, ascending higher in the vast sky. Yet, there’s a catch – those weights! They represent the sin and entanglements that hold…
Today’s Happy “Out of the Box” Day (the day after Christmas) is all about seeing a mountain turn into a joyful, flowing river – even from a sickbed recovering from the flu! While scrolling through messages, I stumbled upon a series of incredible stories, each a ripple of the transforming power of God’s love and…

About
Merri Ellen is a compassionate and experienced life coach and spiritual director who is passionate about helping individuals break free from their struggles and move forward towards a life of freedom and clarity.

“Before I worked with Merri Ellen, I had been battling fear, depression, and anxiety.
I needed my life back.
I wanted someone to walk with me who was stable, safe and who offered me hope and results in my search to regain the truth. I was looking for answers and comfort.
In our sessions together, I have received freedom, peace, hope, life and comfort.
I look forward to every session and I’m always amazed at how only 50 mins per session can result in such amazing breakthrough.
I liked the most that our sessions together were fun. I’ve been able to receive such amazing help and growth while meeting.
Merri Ellen puts you at ease and is easy to relate to. I would recommend her services to anyone on the fence because its far beyond what you expect.
Merri Ellen knows Jesus, you can trust her.
She helps facilitate a Journey of discovery, healing and reestablishing you in Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I’ve had so much fun too.
I was introduced to Merri Ellen by a friend. I enjoy that she helps people listen for His voice.
Being able to hear from the Lord myself and how personal it is, is far more beneficial than without it. And after doing a couple of her 5 week journeys with a group of ladies I thought I would try it one on one because I felt I needed more personal support.
Three benefits I’ve experienced as a result of our sessions together?
Deliverance, Peace, and Hope!
Before I started meeting one on one with Merri Ellen, my life was sad, and less hopeful. These days I’m happier, closer to the Lord and I have a lot less fear and anxiety.
I love that in our sessions all the honour goes to the Lord!”
