A Plan for Mom
The backpacks are packed, the forms are submitted, the kiddos are off and running. After weeks of preparing for the beginning of the school year for your children, take time to plan your fall. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, catch your breath, and contemplate these areas of enrichment. Just for you!
Proactive Plan for Mom
- Connect with friends who can encourage you in your faith, marriage, and parenting.
- Find a mentor who can help you discern where God would like you to serve others.
- Strengthen your relationship with the Lord through the Bible and prayer. Start a Bible study with a friend or a small group.
- Continue to learn. When kids see Mom continuing to educate herself, children become aware of how important lifelong learning is for personal growth and happiness.
- Find a quiet time to pray and plan, taking into consideration the following:
How will I spend intentional time with each one of my children, those at home and those at school?Discern where God would like me to serve: school, church, community?
How can I focus on my career or calling more diligently?
What project has been on the back burner that can now be completed?
Is there a friendship that needs attention? How will I connect?
What hobby would I like to experience or get back to doing more often?
What book have I been waiting for the time to read?
Is there a class I’ve wanted to take to continue my education or for fun?
