It's my birthday month and it's just 4 days until I turn 25! I want my silver year to be better, purposeful and well organized. I want to learn how to be more grateful, passionate and I want to develop a positive vibes, para happy lang lagi, di ba?
I want to do a lot of things, I want to pursue my dreams and I want to focus on building healthy, happy relationships and be a better woman. I acknowledge that my lack of consistency and the way I am shaken by problems take me away from my goals. That's why I need constant reminders to keep me on track. I need help and inspiration.

And so during the Christmas season, I've thought of a wishlist that can help me in planning and executing my plans to achieve certain goals. I requested for a CERTIFIED POSITIVE PLANNER!
I am so much grateful that my monita took extra effort to find it. I wasn't expecting to receive it because I was advised before the gift-giving that she can't find my wishlist and even asked for a 2nd option. I then asked for sketch pads for my calligraphy exercises. So I was really surprised and so much happy when I opened my gift!
Why CERTIFIED POSITIVE PLANNER?
I am choosing between Certified Positive, Belle De Jour and Passion Planner. These 3 never fail to amaze me every time the year is ending and planners are all over. But I opt for a Certified Positive Planner because I realized, in order for me to achieve my goals and make 2017 a better year, I must
"not only believe that God can, but believe more that God will". I want to start improving and focusing on my spiritual life.
The way this planner is created will surely help me (and you, too!) focused on seeing God in the dailiness of life and in growing in His wisdom.
So what's inside this beautiful planner?
Certified Positive Planner is a life-changing planner as they claim it, and I believe them! Take a look:

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PLANNER?
This planner is very clear with it's mission. They will help you see that bright light in the dark, stay positive and they will help you grow in faith.
DAILY VERSE TRACKER
Bible reading has been left at the bottom of our priority list because we are so much busy, right? I am guilty of this and I would like to try it again. Reading the Bible is sometimes boring specially if the story seems not applicable to you. The truth is, we are underrating the benefits that Bible reading can give us. I am glad that this planner has a tracker for my Bible-reading plan and tips to study the scripture in the most comfortable way.
It also has a verse bank:
This will not only help you store favorite verses but it will also help you remember those verses in times you need them. I don't know to you but when I am writing, I tend to remember things better. :)
MY ULTIMATE GOAL FOR 2017: More QUIET TIME!
"Cultivate a healthy relationship with the Lord daily by committing to set aside time to be together on His Word through the Bible and prayer."
On January 3, I commit to spending time with the Lord every morning just so I can start my day right. But you see I'm not a morning person, hahaha! My work begins at 3:30 PM, I'm at home around 2:30AM. So how will it be possible that I wake up 6AM to have a quiet time?
What I am doing is setting my alarm on that time, I'll wake up but not really getting up. I'll utter a prayer, grab my phone or the physical Bible to read a verse or two and ask God to take care of my day. That'll take around 5 minutes. I'll sleep again and wait for the kids to wake up and start the day! My real date time with the Lord is before bed time. I am telling God what happened, how I am feeling and what I want tomorrow to look like. I am spending time to read a devotional, then the Bible then write on my planner.
Whenever I am doing this, I feel confident knowing that everything's just fine for as long as I seek Him first in the midst of my busy, daily life. :)
I also like the page where you'll write a letter to God. No secrets, no shame, just pure honesty. Writing letters and prayers help me a lot! It releases emotions making my heart lighter plus, it's making me visualize things and helps me plan and organized.
SELF-EVALUATION PAGE according to the fruit of the Holy Spirit and LEVEL 10 GOALS
With this activity, I was able to see how I am doing and what needs improvement. Then, it'll ask you of action plans you'll take to become better in the way you act, speak and live your life. This is better than New Year's resolution!

PRAYER REQUEST and THANKSGIVING
Prayer allows us to communicate to the Lord and it gives us a more intimate relationship with Him. Praying for others create a compassionate hearts within us and it introduces God's character. I personally assigned a day for a specific category for praying:
MONDAY is for my family and friends,
TUESDAY for mentors and leaders,
WEDNESDAY is for the state of our government and for the authority
THURSDAY is for those who are experiencing pain in all aspects of life
FRIDAY is for my non material prayer requests
SATURDAY is finances and material prayer requests
SUNDAY is for my and my family's spiritual growth
After praying, the next thing I'm doing is listing down my "Thank You logs".
Last year, I started a blog-series in Grace&Beyond entitled "Sunday Highlights" dedicated for the things that I am thankful for every week.
