Ideas for Intentionality 3/52: 10 Year Vision, Building Children’s Book Collection, and Misty-Eyes
Happy Friday!
Can you SEE what you hope for in 1 year, 5 years, or 10 years?
Vision is the ability to see something in the future that isn’t here yet. And yet sometimes, as a Christian, it can feel weird to say out loud to ourselves what we hope to see.
I heard recently, “that as people of God we should have the greatest vision and mission for our lives, because we have the greatest Savior!”
If we wake up without a vision, it can create feelings of aimlessness and anxiety.
What could be missing is a big vision for your life!
Here are some Ideas for Intentionality that can help you get a vision for your life this year and in the years to come.
Life is too precious to go one more day without a vision that fires you up!
Ideas for Intentionality:
Book that Helped Us Lay Out 1, 5, 10 year vision: I don’t agree with his thoughts on God 100%, but I will say that his framework is the best I have seen for getting an exciting vision for our lives. Matt and I used his worksheets that are included to plan our 10, 5, and 1 year vision. Such a unifying exercise!
NEW YouTube Video: Don’t let the winter cold hold you back or get you down. I want to share how to beat the winter blues and actually learn to love winter.
YouTube Videos that can help you get a vision: 1) Making Goals as a Mom 2) Couple’s Goals3) The New Way to Plan Your Year (Coming Soon!)
Planner I Am Loving: I am loving this weekly tear-off planner. I like the habit tracker, the to-do list and the big 4 for the week.
Book that is Stirring My Heart: I am reading For The Family’s Sake. It is around 20 years old and is FULL of wisdom and inspiration to take seriously the job of creating a home.
Priceless Picture Book: I have shared about this picture book before, but we revisited it again as a family this week and WOW! The family never could have pictured that life would unfold the way it did, but they pulled together as a team! It is a misty-eyed inspirational story!
Sending love,

P.S. Consider starting to curate a really strong selection of children’s books that YOU enjoy reading. Reading with our kids can be a real connection experience, but not if we aren’t into it too! So don’t feel bad about starting to look for children’s books that you look forward to as well. I would love to hear about your favorites!
