JUNE POWERSHEETS GOALS + SUMMER READING GIVEAWAY

Share

Hello, friend! How is it almost JUNE already!? I am having a baby next month (due July 31)! This is blowing my mind a bit, but I am feeling more and more ready thanks to an unexpectedly fruitful May. It was a challenging month and, in that refining, good things are starting to grow in our garden and in our lives.

What’s new: I have been intentionally away from the internet the last couple months to get my head and heart in the right place for writing. Instead of digesting Instagram and pixels, I’ve been reading more than I ever have in my life! In May, I read Interrupted, Kisses from Katie, Radical, and studied a lot of the Bible. I highly recommend each of these books. They have changed me! Up next on my reading list for June: When Helping Hurts, The Irresistible Revolution, Shepherding a Child’s Heart, and more Bible reading.

What’s ahead: Lord willing, writing book two, running our business well, gardening with Grace, cultivating meaningful relationships, and growing a baby. Also, something fun is launching Monday, June 1. Don’t miss this. Sign up here to get all the details when it launches.

Onto my May goals update. Here is the link to my May goals and refreshed 2015 Goals. The Refresh was SO helpful!

May PowerSheets Goals progress:

  • Write to help others move forward to God. Yes, I wrote the tiniest bit, but more than that, my heart has been getting refined and prepared. I believe this month will be full of words, Lord willing.
  • Complete the James Challenge (I’m writing out the book of James this month along with prayers related to each section — it has been awesome so far!) Yes, I completed this and LOVED it! I learned a great deal by slowly praying and writing through scripture. I plan to continue this in June with Romans 12. Writing the Word is awesome. More to come on this. Hint hint – new journals releasing in July!
  • Lead an encouraging Bible Bunch, studying Acts 1-9 this month. Yes, it was a great night learning about God together! I love these ladies.
  • Worship and please the Lord on our family vacation. Yes, this was the biggest highlight of May. Too much to say here, but this trip changed us. More here.
  • Help others move forward to God at the Creative Women’s Summit — glorify Him! I hope I pleased Him with what I shared. I was grateful to be a part of it!
  • Prayerfully introduce Write the Word in May or June. Coming this month.

Little by little, focusing on progress not perfection, I did well on my weekly and daily goals as well.

    So excited! I signed up for the email & tweeted this pic…but honestly… I hope they don’t win, that I do! So many of these are on my “to read” list. I’d love to try Interrupted or Fringe Hours next, & of course Make It Happen since I just discovered you. (Didn’t know you were lost?) To everyone, I’d recommend Kisses from Katie !!! & Best Yes, both of which I own.

  107. Mandy Marshall on June 5, 2015 at 1:15 am

    I would loooove to read Fringe Hours or Let’s All Be Brave! You are so wonderful, thank you for the opportunity!

  108. Laura on June 5, 2015 at 3:12 am

  110. kelly on June 5, 2015 at 1:36 pm

    I’d love to win “The Power of Starting Something Stupid” OR “Make It Happen.” Either way, “Make it Happen” is going to happen, as it was just sitting in my Amazon shopping cart! 🙂

  111. Katie Burke on June 5, 2015 at 9:55 pm

    This looks like a lovely bundle of summer reading and I would love to make it part of mine!! *fingers crossed!!

  112. Kaelie on June 6, 2015 at 5:30 pm

    Ready to Make It Happen with this giveaway!!!

  113. Breezie Lund on June 7, 2015 at 2:22 am

    I can’t pick one. I have a need for all of them!

  114. Jennifer on June 8, 2015 at 1:06 pm

    I would love to read Fringe Hours. It is on my reading list for this summer. Trying to make all of me fruitful…my friendships, my time and my family relationships.

  115. Heather Campbell on June 8, 2015 at 1:48 pm

    I would live to win this!! I’d really like to read The Best Yes… Have had Kisses from Katie on my list for some time now. Prayers for the Dreamer and Doer sounds awesome. And also the 5 copies of Make it Happen — for me and my friends to read together this summer.

  116. sherina on June 8, 2015 at 1:59 pm

    Definitely 31 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR THE DREAMER + DOER && MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!

    I never realized how many of my actions came out of a place of fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of failure. For the first time in my life I feel like I am truly living by faith and from a place of love. I have big dreams that I know will effect soo many women, marriages etc and I refuse to let fear rob me any longer. I know it all starts with Prayer and I would love this book as a catalyst to LIVING the Dream…and bringing other women on the journey! xx

  117. Megan on June 8, 2015 at 2:00 pm

    These all look great! I am itching to read Jen Hatmakers Interrupted 🙂

    I hope my best friend and I can win a copy of “Make it Happen” and “Let’s all be brave,” as we’re both about to go through tough and trying times in our relationship. She will be moving away from home and I’ll be moving to another country (that is 36 hours ahead) where I know nobody! We’re both absolutely in love with your blog, your Instagram and frankly, everything about how you live. We love the message you spread and hope to spread it ourselves. We’re using #fruitfulsummer to create some meaningful friendships wherever our new journey takes us! We’ve shared on instagram (@mcm.xx) but we’re on private– let us know if we need to change it!

    Regardless if we win or not- thank you for all you do!
