For several weeks I’ve been zoomed in close on my word of the year, and my stewardship goals but sometimes stepping back to see how the little pieces fit into the bigger picture is helpful. Today I feel the need to step back a smidge and revisit WHY stewardship is my focus this year.

Stewarding My Voice
Of all the traits I inherited from my Papa Sam…my sense of humor…my love of crossword puzzles…and maybe even my affinity for coffee (though that didn’t show up until after he was gone…) the one I most fully embrace is the adage he taught me, “You don’t have to tell everything you know.”
Stewarding My Physical Health: The Why, Part 2
Welcome to the Stewardship Series. In 2019 my focus is on intentionally stewarding the gifts and talents God has entrusted to me. This series will highlight the nine areas of stewardship I identified in my 2019 goals: my physical and spiritual health, my marriage and motherhood, my relationships with friends and family, my home, my time online, and my voice. I pray this series encourages you, as we grow together as stewards.
steward: (n.) a person whose responsibility it is to take care of something (ie. another’s property.)
Welcome to Part 2 of Stewarding My Physical Health: The Why! In Part 1 I talked about the practical reasons I’m starting this year of stewardship by focusing on my physical health. But while feeling better, looking better, and avoiding future health issues are all on my list, those aren’t the biggest reasons.
God has been dealing with me for probably the last 7 years. He’s been trying to tell me that my spiritual health and my physical health are intrinsically tied together.

Warning: incredibly vulnerable post ahead. I’m kicking off this series by telling you about my journey with my weight, and why stewarding my physical health is an area of focus for me this year.
I want to be clear…this is all about ME and does not speak to anyone else’s journey, struggles, or issues with weight, weight loss, diet culture, eating disorders, etc. I know everyone fights their own fight in this area, and my struggles pale in comparison to many. I know you could look at this post, roll your eyes and say “that girl has no clue!” I hope you won’t, but I understand.
I still feel like I need to share this, if only for myself. Sometimes we can’t move forward without looking back on how we got to where we are.
Coming Soon: Stewardship Series
If you came over yesterday, looking for my weekly rambling, I’m sorry to disappoint. I find that I’m easing into 2019 a little slower than I planned. My sister has been visiting, and since we don’t see each other in person nearly often enough, taking time to spend with her was a big priority.
In addition, while the goals I mentioned in last week’s post have begun to crystallize and become more clear, several of them are pretty big and daunting prospects. Rather than hitting the ground running, it feels like I need to take January to prepare myself, mentally and spiritually, for what I’m going to be attempting this year.
So while today’s post is a bit shorter than normal, I did want to come over and leave a little note to let you know: I have some big stuff in the works! But as is often the case with good things, it’s taking some time.
