2022 Goals

If you've read any of my goal posts in the past you know I'm a big fan of powersheets, which is a yearly goal planner. Goals tend to get a bad rep, but when broken into bite size pieces goals are the fuel that drives my vision for each year and leads me to where I want to be at the end of my life. 

Planting in faith is no easy feat. It all starts under the soil. In the unseen. Growing through dirt. But this daily/weekly/monthly choice is one that grows a beautiful bloom. And this bloom is that much more rewarding because it reminds us of the hidden work it took to grow such a gift.

But it's not hidden from everyone. God see's the heart. And I can only imagine the joy it brings Him to see his children grow. Good gravy I get all teary-eyed looking back on my own kiddo's growth. 

Um... yeah, I can't fathom. Glory be. 

2022 Goals

Live an Unhurried Life

These years with my littles matter. I want to invest in our family and remove the distractions that take away from slowing down and living out of rest. 

Cultivate a Family Team

I believe God intended for family to be united in purpose and not solely consume from each other. I want to encourage who God made each of us to be, and learn how we can best operate in our home as a team with those gifts. My hope is we'd have close relationships from leaning in to know and love each other well.

Be a Life-Giving Wife/Mom/Friend

I want to love the people in my life with joy instead of some skewed sense of duty. To be a thermostat and set a worshipful tone of faith and fun (not being dictated by circumstances around me). To choose to be more like Jesus and, from His goodness, bless others with His love.

Surrender My Mornings

God calls me to be *with* Him before I *do* anything for Him. I've coveted my sleep, and now it's time to give it to Him. To experience freedom in surrendering my extra zzz's and delight in silence and solitude. He's worth it. 

Treat My Body Like It's "Very Good"

Because God has made my body good (Genesis 1:31), I want to treat it as such. To worship with workouts and not "fix". To stretch daily and prioritize my health/wellness. 

Have Monthly Budget Meetings

Choose to partner with Mark in this area. To have more understanding of our finances. To dream together and make budget meetings fun! 

Complete Creative Projects Quarterly 

These tend to fall wayside, so I want to plan our projects in a more tangible way so we're not doing too much at once or forgetting about it all-together. The effort will be worth it for these projects are important to our family (photo organization, family yearbooks, home projects/updates).

I'll spend a little time at the beginning of each month and week picking out a few tasks and objectives that will help me move toward these goals in grace. 

What about you? What is God calling you to in 2022? It's never to late to look at where you are and where you want to be. I had a handful of things from January that are now on my February tending list, because #grace. Moving forward is more than good. XO
