"Daily Habits, Big Goals: Making Progress in Faith, Family, Fitness, and Finance"

FAITH

Faith: Build Accountability for Daily Scripture

If you’re not reading the Bible daily, here’s a simple way to start and stay consistent: get an accountability partner. It’s not just about saying you read—it’s about sharing what you gained from it.

• Each day, read a portion of scripture and text your partner what stood out to you.

• This practice keeps you accountable, encourages deeper reflection, and strengthens your spiritual connection with others.

Accountability transforms a good habit into a meaningful discipline that helps you grow closer to God.

FAMILY

Family: Taking Action to Represent What Matters

Dena’, Morgan, and Anniston are in Washington, D.C., representing life and standing against abortion. This is a powerful reminder that it’s not enough to say what’s important to us—we need to take action.

Ask yourself:

• What actions are we taking to reflect our values? Whether it’s participating in local events, serving others, or simply being present in meaningful ways, showing what matters is far more impactful than just talking about it.

• How can we involve our family? Engage your children or loved ones in these efforts to pass on a legacy of living out your principles.

Actions speak louder than words—let’s ensure we’re living in alignment with what we hold dear.

FITNESS

Fitness: Train for a Summer Goal

Summer is just a few months away, and it’s the perfect time to set a fitness goal and start working toward it. Goals give purpose to your workouts, making them easier and more enjoyable.

Here are some ideas:

• Travel-related goals: If you plan to walk a lot while exploring, build your endurance now by increasing your daily steps.

• A physical milestone: Train for a 5K, a hiking trip, or another event that excites you.

• Clothing motivation: Aim to feel great in certain clothes you want to wear this summer.

Pick a goal that excites you, and treat your workouts as part of the “training” for that accomplishment. Consistency will bring results!

FINANCE

Finance: Start with a Budget

The first step to achieving short- and long-term financial goals is creating a budget. Without one, it’s impossible to take control of your money and prioritize what truly matters.

Here’s how to get started:

• Track your income and expenses: Understand where your money is going right now.

• Assign every dollar: Start telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.

• Focus on goals: Build your budget to align with both immediate needs and future plans.

A budget is the foundation of financial freedom. It helps you prepare for the future, avoid unnecessary stress, and build the life you want.

Housekeeping

This week’s newsletter highlights intentional steps to grow in Faith, Family, Fitness, and Finance:

• Faith: Build accountability by partnering with someone to share not just that you read the Bible daily, but what you learned from it. This practice deepens spiritual growth and consistency.

• Family: Dena’, Morgan, and Anniston are in Washington, D.C., standing for life. Their actions remind us to align our behavior with our values and actively show what matters most to us.

• Fitness: Summer is a few months away—set a goal, such as preparing for a 5K, traveling with ease, or feeling great in summer clothes. Treat your workouts as training for that goal to stay motivated.
