During 2014 I am implementing what I’ve come to term the 144 Plan or a plan consisting of 144 posts covering twelve specific goals (one per month). The 144 Plan is inspired by Proverbs 144. Just as David trained for war in order to bring God the glory, we too should take time to train in the areas in which God has gifted us so that we can also bring God the glory in all we do.
Personally, I am in need of a lot of training in several areas of my life so in 2014 the twelve goals I will be focusing on are blogging, social media, homemaking, cooking, physical well-being, spiritual well-being, eBook writing, homeschooling, marriage, motherhood, photography, and money management. Each month will include 12 posts centered around the goal of the month as a means to share what I am learning and provide inspiration for others along the way. You can find links to each of the 144 posts as they occur below.
