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.

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.

Goal Planning, Powersheets and My Word for 2019

January 4, 2019January 11, 2019 Jessica Tanderup

Ahh January.

Here we are, four days into a new year. Does anyone else fight the feeling that you’re already behind in the first week of the year, or is that just me?

Starting a new year, with all its promise and potential…right at the tail end of December…when things have been crazy-hectic-yet-simultaneously-completely-unstructured…I may be way off here, but it seems counter-intuitive to me. Planning goals for the new year while I feel like my routines are burning to the ground around me is a little crazy-making, or at least it has been this year.
