Enjoy July!
Hello friend, Happy Summer!
It’s time to Enjoy July!! ☀️♥️🤍💙
I hope you’re managing to stay cool now that summer is officially here and the temperatures have reached the triple digits for some of us. 🔥
As you’re settling into new routines with the change of season, I hope you’re seeing the results you’ve hoped and worked for since the beginning of the year.
Can you believe we have arrived at “halftime” of 2023? Half our year is over and half is yet to come!!
You have done so much work in the first half of this year and now I encourage you to take some time off and enjoy the rest as you prepare to finish this year strong.
Let me remind you of how Miriam Webster defines “enjoy”:
en·joy
/inˈjoi,enˈjoi/

1. take delight or pleasure in (an activity or occasion) “They enjoyed their reprieve.”
2. possess and benefit from. “The children enjoy the benefits provided by their parents.”

This is the 7th month of the year and I want to remind you that even our Creator took some time out to rest.
As we read in Genesis 2:3-4, after the Lord created light, the heavens and the earth, the fish and the birds, the animals and the galaxies, and even after he created us in His own image, He looked back on his creation, blessed it and rested. He enjoyed his creation!
“And on the seventh day, God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.”
If the CREATOR of the world took time off to rest, then surely we can too.
Marvel over, celebrate, bask in and ENJOY the work you’ve put in so far this year. Even if it’s only a few days, set aside some time this month for soul rest. Let’s disconnect from our phones, futures and even our friends and family for a bit, so we can rest with our Creator and get fresh vision and replenishment for what’s to come.
As we do, I know God will honor our time out, he’ll coach us up, he’ll give us real living water from which to pour out again for the rest of this year!
I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for supporting me by purchasing Gow With Goals: A How-To Guide for Activating Your Purpose!
In the days since the launch, we’ve received pictures from around the world as early readers and buyers travel with this resource. I am overjoyed that lives are changing and people are being set free as they discover their purpose and passion again.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for being the vessel this playbook came through, but without all of you willingly receiving the information, it would be yet another book on a shelf.
Grow With Goals, for me and I pray for you also, is a life-changing experience. I am honored you trust me enough to participate in this learning, actively working the wisdom of the words within the book.
I’d love to hear from you, about your biggest takeaways, how you’re changing, and what you’re doing to move forward on the path to your goals.
Of course, we want to celebrate those wins but the lulls and misses that you have are important in the process too; mistakes are part of growth. Be encouraged.
Overall, I hope you learn that goal-setting and the journey along the way can be fun and satisfying.
I hope you come to know how loved and unique you are, and how you were fashioned to live a meaningful, fulfilling life.
Thank you again for the great honor of helping me reach one of my own dreams, making the Amazon Best Seller list! We were a #3 Amazon Hot New Release and we reached #39 in the Inspirational Best Sellers category. As you and others continue to share with more and more people, we may climb in rankings, but most importantly, we’ll see lives changed and others activated to do all that’s on their hearts to do!
Please email me your feedback at jill@brandnewu.org.
I’d love to hear from you!
Dear Grow-Getters, I pray you see yourself anew. No matter what has come before, there is something new in store for all of us.
In this season of light and longer days, ☀️☀️may your hard work planted in the quiet and the darkness, take seed and grow up before you, nourishing you and the communities you lead and serve. 🌱
Again, thank you!
Sincerely,
Jill
