I am preparing to share with you my 2015 teaching calendar and I am blessed to tell you that it is 99% full and it is a doozie! (due-zee) Between traveling and being a wife and mom of boys, it is going to be a very creative, HOPE filled, crazy busy year and I need a little something to help me get through it (beside prayer,sleep and food)
I have a need ..
- for a daily calendar
- for a place to track my physical movement (on paper, not on a microchip)
- for a view of the month to come and a way to look back at where I have been and what I have learned along the way
- a place to write about my big dreams and then to be able to watch how they unfold the way God has planned them
- one place to hold all of my prayer requests so that I can look back to see how God is working in all of our lives
- for somewhere to note some of the wonderful, crazy, random moments of my everyday life of being a daughter, mom of boys, wife, friend, oh and a watertruck co-owner (story to come)
- a place to tape reminders of trust, love, faith and hope so that I can read them over and over and over...and then over again.
- a place to remind, record, reflect and document my faith when a 2” margin isn’t enough space
I have a need for it to all be in one place and a need to be able to take it with me whether I am driving a few miles down the street or if I am flying to the other side of the country or world.
I want a place to record my life, my dreams, my prayers, my moments. A place to document my faith sometimes monthly, often times weekly possibly even daily and I want you to come with me so that you can do the same.
So here is the official unofficial announcement and the secret code is 52-12-15.
Just kidding, there is not secret code. It really means 52 weeks, 12 months in 2015
and it is called
DOCUMENTED FAITH
My intention is to run it in conjunction with all of my lovely lady friends over at The Documented Life Project and Shanna at Illustrated Faith/The Bible Journaling Community and here is one of the most IMPORTANT PARTS...
We are working on our separate creative journeys TOGETHER. Our relationships, our dreams, goals and intentions are very authentic and transparent. We are working together for the good.
yep.
We are not competing against each other, we are complimenting each other.
I know, right !?!?
I honestly believe we are all being used as examples for good. Examples of how we can highlight, promote, inspire and encourage each other.
Now, isnt that a breath of fresh air !?! (okay, you can call us super hero's if you want)
just kidding.
sorta.
okay, so back to Documented Faith.
Guess how much?
$0.00
yep.
It is important to me that everyone join in and work together and that it is free.
All you have to do is register so that I know your email so I can send you a Monthly focus word and a weekly verse or quote to prompt you. I will be blogging once a week so that you can see what I am doing and what I am using. I will be using a 2015 Moleskin 12 Month Calendar and may I suggest that you do too? Not necessary, totally optional.
And that is it.

Where did you get your Moleskine Journal?
Last year I bought mine at Staples but I did not have luck at my local Staples this year. You can order one here BUT please remember, you can use any planner you would like.
