Monday Motivation: Why Setting Goals Doesn't Work.
Hey Reader,
I pray you are doing well.
I know you read the title of this email and was like, what is the lady talking about?
Haha!
Or you may have thought this was a clickbait email...I assure you it is not.
Let me say it again.
Setting Goals Doesn't Work.
Think about it...
We’ve all fallen into the trap of setting goals, especially at the beginning of the year only to be disappointed when those goals are still the same the next year. Then, we are hard on ourselves about the fact that we spent a whole year and haven’t moved the needle toward our desired life.
Do you know what happened?
We bought into the lie that setting goals would help us achieve our next step.
So, what are we supposed to do?
First, we can set goals all we want, but if we aren't in alignment with God, it will be difficult to achieve those goals. Also, our plans are secondary to the plans of God. Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) beautifully captures this sentiment: "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."
Okay, so if you can't create goals, then what should we do?
The thing is.....
we CAN create goals,
but those goals alone will not help us to finish the line.
We have to pray about those goals.
We have to be in alignment with God.
We have to be intentional about an action plan.
I'm going to share with you a strategy for how to stop setting goals that die.

Hey Reader Happy Monday to You! Recently, I shared a post on Instagram about recognizing the voice of God—and wow, I was blown away by how many resonated with this struggle. It's a journey, isn't it? One that's both deeply personal and incredibly vital to our faith walk. I know firsthand how challenging it can be. There are moments I find myself asking, "Lord, are You even speaking to me?" But here's the beautiful truth: God is always speaking. Sometimes, though, we need to fine-tune our...
Hey Reader, Happy March! Scripture for the Month: “ “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” — Isaiah 43:19 As we step into... a new month, I want to remind you of a powerful promise from God: Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, waiting for a breakthrough, or wondering if God is still working in your life. Let this be your confirmation—He is making a way, even in the most impossible situations. “...
Hey Reader Happy Monday! Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty—spiritually, emotionally, or even physically? Life has a way of pulling us in so many directions that we forget to refill our own cup. I remember watching a video from Bill Devall talking about how his therapist had to remind him that the scripture, Psalm 23:5...“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” says nothing about tilting your cup:...
