| Reading through the bible this year with you! |
A new year has begun and new goals are written down. Do you write down your goals or maybe you call them big dreams? All I know, is that I use to be horrible at doing it. I mean actually writing down anything. I have heard if you don't write down your goals they are just dreams. That made sense to me because when I have ever wanted something in life I actually set a goal or plan to get it done. It isn't always easy. It can scare you and excite you. This year I have realized somewhere along the years of parenting, I lost what I wanted to be as a woman. You know besides a good mom to the kids and wife to my husband. Those are good things but hey the kids grow up and leave the nest. My husband and I have made a great team over the last 23 years and He is the dreamer who always encourages me. I usually am the one who shrinks back in fear instead of dreaming big and going for it! Remembering where my identity lies has brought me back to the character of God these last few weeks and who He says I am. That is important because when all else fades in this life what have I done with it. Have I become who God says I am?
So this year I wrote the goals down and for the last two years as handmade knits by trAcy has grown I was able to cut back on the hours of outside work and work from home on this business God has built for our family. I dreamed a long time ago about a business but never wrote it down or worked with God on it until about two years ago. He gave me the vision and dream of owning my own business and I jumped in and did it. I didn't know it would touch so many women's lives but it has. You guys send me emails about the seeds planted by wearing your bracelets. God's Word tethered to your hearts all day which is exactly what I envisioned. That is exactly why I create my hand stamped and knit bracelets. He has shown His strength and faithfulness through my fear and what I saw as weaknesses. I didn't know I could speak on FB Live Videos and share about Jesus and the gospel. I learned to let God's voice be bigger than the voice of the enemy. God is truth and Satan is a liar.
He uses me and my knitting to pour out His love. How much more can He use you friend! What talent or tools has He given you to use? I have learned we need only to look in our hands and see that He provides the rest. You just do the work of serving the kingdom.
Jesus gives us His Word to change us from the inside out and I want to share that and be an out pouring of His grace, mercy and love to other women.
What are your goals this year? What dream do you have for a better woman this year? Are you waiting for perfection because Jesus says come as you are. It is Jesus who does a good work in and through us. Remember that!
Okay, this is probably longer than I thought I would chat about this subject. Please share your thoughts and lets cheer each other on this year!
