Earlier than we get into my Powersheets, I need to share my put together properly web page with you! (Don’t know what Powersheets are? Begin Right here!)

If you happen to advised me a pair years in the past that I’d use the phrase ✨dream✨ in a hopeful approach I wouldn’t have believed you. It has taken fairly a while to belief the Lord and write down my desires and plans. The previous 2 quarters, I’ve put aside a 6 hour block the place all I do is refresh my targets and put together for the season forward! I share a entire video about how I do that right here if you wish to see! I additionally am nonetheless utilizing the Yearly Powersheets and 90 Powersheets collectively.

October’s Tending Record

My Encouraging Phrases for October had been, “keep targeted and keep diligent.” My prime precedence was “one factor at a time.”

Up till October twenty third, there have been no checkboxes checked or progress bars stuffed in on my October Tending Record. I used to be hesitant to switch my progress from my notes web page to my Tending Record. Then I spotted I had two choices in entrance of me, I had the chance to really feel intimidated or I had the flexibility to decide on to start out contemporary and select to rely my imperfect progress.

At this level in my purpose setting journey, I felt hopeful in realizing that my imperfect progress was nonetheless going so as to add up, and although there wouldn’t be checkmarks completely positioned. We are able to’t be afraid of our Tending Record as a result of if we’re afraid to go test in, then we’re not going to get something accomplished or give ourselves the chance to see all that we ARE nonetheless doing… and we’re going to set ourselves farther again. , imperfect progress is outlined by good intentions and considerate actions, and at instances, unchecked bins. These bins are instruments, even these clean bins are useful! They assist us higher consider our season and our priorities. So as we speak, in my Tending Record, I can actively see the grace that I’m dwelling out, even when I don’t really feel it, I’m going to behave on it as a result of progress doesn’t need to be good. 

Finally some progress is best than no progress, and as soon as I began checking in on my targets I noticed how a lot progress I had made. I let go of the clean bins by selecting grace, as you’ll be able to see I ended up writing within the phrase “grace” into a number of the day by day bins.

This month’s Tending Record

Now onto November! This month my prime precedence is to organize and get well in His energy. This month may be very naked in comparison with most as a result of I’m getting ready for surgical procedure. To assist me deal with recovering, I used a number of the 2023 gold striped Tending Tape to cowl the times after my surgical procedure.
