Evaluate and Refocus
Look at your goals for Q1: What progress have you made?
What habits or actions helped you move forward? What held you back?
List one thing you'd like to carry into Q2 and one thing you'd like to leave behind.

Plan for Quarter 2
Set one overarching goal for Q2. Break it into actionable steps.
Identify one new habit or practice to adopt for Q2 to help you stay on track.

It requires more than love and provision—it demands discernment, obedience, and a deep understanding of God’s timing and purpose. Through biblical reflection, we find timeless wisdom to guide us in stewarding our children well. In this article, this week we draw lessons from three foundational scriptures that highlight obedience, purpose, and financial wellness in parenting. 1. Obedience Is Not Optional “So David did as God commanded him...” – 1 Chronicles 14:1 David's success in battle was not because he relied on past strategies but because he returned to God for direction each time. This highlights a profound truth: God does not always repeat patterns, even if they previously worked. Parenting, likewise, requires fresh instruction from God for each child, because each child carries a unique blueprint. No two children ar...
