 Well, friends, it is mid-July, I guess, kind of later July, and I did a six-month check-in on my goals. I wanted to share them with you because number one, I know we're all nosy when it comes to other people's goals and what's gotten accomplished, how people are doing what they're doing, all that good stuff. Also, I wanted to give you encouragement if you are feeling like your goals just are not happening, or you're struggling, or maybe you just didn't even make goals at the beginning of the year because you weren't sure how to make them actually happen. The first thing that I want to encourage you with is in making goals actually happen. One of the things that I found that works well and that I coach my life coaching and business clients in is to figure out your areas of stewardship. Where is God calling you to steward, or what is God calling you to steward? I typically say that we have like five to six different areas that were called or given to Steward at a time. I wouldn't say that's something that I've found in the Bible. I would say that's more of a gathering of things that I've seen and heard over time, more like a systematic theological viewpoint. Stewardship and Anchoring Your Goals I usually say that we as women are called to steward our homes, even if we don't have a typical home. You can take care of your room in your parents' house or wherever you're living, your dorm room, all that. Kids are a big one that we've been given to steward and take care of as little joyful gifts from the Lord, and that takes up a ton of time as a mom. We also have finances we can steward. We have our jobs, we have the things that we've been given. Everything that you do is stewardship because everything is the Lord's, and we've been given that as stewards. In Genesis one and two, it talks about God giving what. I was given to Adam to keep it and take care of it, and that was a way of God giving the animals and the earth to Adam and Eve to take care of. So stewardship areas of stewardship. Once you understand what God has given you, I would write these down, have them written as something that's a reflection. Just so that you know, moving forward, this is something that God has given me to steward, and this is what I need to use my gifts and my talents towards. Again, five or six different areas. I typically will say everything in the house and within it, or? Yeah, in the house. Everything within it. So, kids, family, money, the house itself. Food. And then my body is another area that I spend a lot of time on. I actually have a folder in my phone because I track my macros. Macronutrients using a fitness app, a Faster Way to Fatloss, and I have that. And then the app that I use to track my runs or walks and my Oura ring, all in a folder called Steward Your Body. So it's a reminder when I look at that folder that God has given me my body to steward. Once you've accomplished this and you understand what God is asking you to steward, or you've brought that back to mind, anchor your goals to the areas that God has asked you to steward. A lot of times, we see something and we're like, "Oh, we should have a goal to do X, Y, or Z," and then we make a pointless goal. Because we saw that from somebody else's life, but that's not the area that God is asking us to steward right now, or it's not as high on the priorities list as on somebody else's. Oftentimes, when people are having issues, fulfilling goals, or really struggling to fulfill their goals, I see them drowning in pointlessness. Goals and pointless to-dos because they are not anchoring them in things where God has actually called them to. And we need to align what God has called us to with the goals that we are creating because God has given us all different areas to steward and different lives and different callings and giftings and talents. Our goals will be. Probably similar, but they're gonna be different than other people's. So we can't just look at a popular influencer, even if they're Christian, and say, "Oh, okay, their goals should be my goals." Now granted, there will be some that are similar, but everybody has different areas where they need to work on. So at this point in time, I wanna give you permission to change things up. I want to give you permission to throw out your old goals if they're not related to the areas of stewardship that God has given you, and I want you to instead focus on. Anchoring your goals in areas of stewardship and areas that align with what God has called you to. Journal Questions for Your Own Mid-Year Check-in Now, the second part of this mid-year check-in that I did was I started looking at my goals and asking myself some questions. So I asked myself, – What's working? – What's not working? – What does this look like for the next six months? – What do my goals look like moving forward? What about the next five and a half months? I have been using this book that ...
