Celebrate 2020 with NACWE

For the whole month of December, we celebrated our successes and celebrated each other. I love that part of NACWE, don’t you? The camaraderie and synergy we get from one another is great. Not only that, but the support, prayer, advice, and love!  It’s a win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win!!! Celebrations galore! You get the point!!!

Celebrate Your Wins; Celebrate Christ

Kim Steadman, one of our Elite Members started us off in the first week by “Celebrating our Wins, Celebrating Christ.”  She asked us to write a list of our celebrations. Wow, that got me thinking back on the year and all that I had accomplished in my business with the Lord’s help.  All I could say was, “Thank you, Jesus, for ALLLLL that!” There were so many celebration items that I had forgotten about and it was great to be reminded of His goodness, even in the middle of the difficulties of life.

Here’s the Replay!

Celebrate as Your Hear from God

The second week we had NACWE Team Member, Courtenay Collins, bringing us into a time of prayer as we heard directly from God.  In the quietness of a busy day, we stopped and told God how grateful we were and we listened to His response to us.  Afterward, we shared our unique nudges from the Lord.  We were reminded that we are valuable and that God celebrates us! What a way to celebrate!!

Celebrate Your God-given Plans

And December 17th was a life changer for me.  We worked through Karen’s Purposeful Planning Workbook as we celebrated all that God has planned for us. As we cranked out plans for the next 12 weeks, we systematically got to what was most important and structured our list as we prayed, planned, and purposefully were productive. 

This “Purposeful Planning” Day jazzed me so much I decided to set aside 24 hours over 4 days to crank out my 12-week plan.  It worked! I have just a few hours left and am excited to tell you I need to make a new next plan! Just organizing it with the workbook took me from overwhelmed and frozen with so many things to do that I wasn’t moving forward, to streamlining what I needed to do first and foremost and then moving on to what I needed to do each step of the way. And you can bet I am celebrating that I accomplished so much in such a short time.

Celebrate with NACWE

I share all this because I have only been a member of NACWE for part of a year and it has been so instrumental in helping me move my company to a new level. I jumped right into the Pomodoro workspace sessions (join us Mon, Tues, Wed & Thurs mornings), joined the Elite Membership so I could dig into the vault and learn as much as I could, got connected, asked questions, and blessed others in the process. 

Joining NACWE has brought energy, fun, connection, laughter, planning, training, love, new ideas, polished deliverables, and more. I really could go on and on sharing about the new friends/entrepreneurs I have met, the conference I got to attend, the movie I wrote at the Lakeside Writing Retreat, the activities I created to help families heal, and the blessing that NACWE has been to me! 

Celebrate Leadership

Yes, this is the season of celebration and the one thing I am most excited to celebrate with NACWE is that our leader, Karen Lindwall-Bourg, leads us first and foremost to the Lord. She consistently demonstrates inviting the Lord into everything we do because we do what we do for His glory.  We do this as He gives us ideas, passions and goals, He directs and guides us, and He helps us finish what He has given us to do. Actually, we can celebrate because of HIM!

Celebrate a New Year

So as we start another year, may we continue to celebrate all that God has done in our businesses, our homes, our relationships, and our lives!  May we continue to “Purposefully Plan” so we bring Him glory and point others to Him! 

And Thank You, Karen, for leading the way!
