#25: How to Trust God and Plan for the Life You Want in 2025

Episode Summary: In this episode of Mom’s Roadmap Home, I walk you through how to trust God and plan for the life you want in 2025. Setting faith-filled goals isn’t about checking boxes or following trends—it’s about aligning your plans with God’s will and trusting His guidance. Together, we’ll reflect on this past year, learn how to set meaningful goals, and embrace God’s strength to persevere through challenges as we work toward a purposeful, joyful new year.

Key Takeaways:

1. Reflect Before You Plan: Look back on the lessons God taught you this year to inform your goals for the next.
2. Faith-Filled Goal Setting: Pray for God’s guidance and set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) with a faith-focused twist.
3. Start Small: Begin with one meaningful goal, and trust that progress—even slow progress—is still progress.
4. Tools for Success: Use planners, journals, or sticky notes to keep your goals visible and your mindset focused.

5. Stay Accountable: Share your goals with a supportive friend, spouse, or church group for encouragement and accountability.

Listener Challenge: This week, spend 10 minutes in prayer, asking God to guide your 2025 goals. Write down one area where you feel He’s nudging you to grow and commit to taking one small step toward it.

Closing Encouragement: Mama, God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking for your trust and willingness to grow. As you step into 2025, lean on Him for guidance and strength. Progress might be slow, but every step you take aligns you more with His purpose for your life.
