It started small.
To-do lists.
Sticky papers.
Post-its.
Lists, lists and more lists.
Do you sense where I’m going with this?
I love to plan.
I’m a planner through and through.
I love having a way forward, a sense of direction and a way to get there, aka a plan!
And the fact that ‘planner’ was actually my professional title for nearly two decades must have added something to my obsession. Now even though I’ve since added other titles (one of them still involves planning — I’m obsessed I tell you), I’ve never really outgrown my urge to plan.
Lucky for you.
Out of this driving need to plan and be organised and accomplished, I’ve developed my Spark Success Goals Planner.
More than just a one-year calendar, the Spark Success Goals Planner sets the stage for life to the full when you’re intentional and focused on achieving your Spirit-led dreams.
I’ve taken my professional planning experience, advice from goal-setting gurus and mixed them with Biblical wisdom to create this incredible resource.
The Spark Success Goals Planner is your personal manual for setting goals in a way that will prepare you for an amazing year.
Setting goals must be part of your overall approach to purposeful living. And to get you there, I suggest five simple steps:
- Pray
- Choose One Word
- Set Goals (using your Goals Planner)
- Envision your goals
- Live them out fully

Goal-Planning Reloaded
I’ll let you in on a little secret, I started creating the Spark Success Goals Planner as a simple bonus product to accompany Grace Goals, for which I’m an affiliate. However, once I got started, I was having so much fun that I got carried away and ended up with 40 pages chock-full of resources for a power-packed year. There was just so much good stuff I wanted to share that I knew you’d find helpful.
In the Spark Success Goals Planner you will find:
- Goal Setting tips to get you started
- Brainstorming for key areas of your life
- Your One Word and Personal Mission Statement
- Top 10 Goals list
- Year at a Glance
- Reproducible weekly planning pages
- Motivational quotes on purposeful living
- Monthly planning pages with
- Goals Progress
- Goals Review
- Accountability
- Tools/Resources
This is just what you need to prepare you for abundant living in the new year.

Goals Planner meets Grace Goals
Grace Goals is the revolutionary way to approach change developed by my blogging mentor Arabah Joy.
Arabah has compiled a PDF containing 5 mini-workshops that will take you through the process of:
- Setting practical, godly goals
- Developing a doable, personal plan for change
- Learning why grace is needed to achieve your goals
- Recognizing and appropriating grace in your daily life
- And much more
When it comes to achieving your God-inspired dreams, this is the best investment you’ll make. And you certainly don’t have to break the bank.
I’ve designed the Spark Success Goals Planner as the perfect companion to Grace Goals and it fits nicely with Workshop 3 — Refine Your Vision.
My prayer is that with goal-setting, and every other area of your life, you will experience God’s power (Ephesians 1:18-19). Grace Goals and the Spark Success Goals Planner together give you the practical tools and resources for your journey. It’s my pleasure to share them with you because I’ve seen the kind of impact they’ve had in my own life.
I pray you will be blessed.
Here’s to a successful, powerful, Spirit-filled year!

Oh you are my kind of girl! I also love to plan, and this is an excellent resource. I love how you balanced out all of our goal setting with grace!
Gretchen says
Great job Marva ! Who doesn’t love a good “goal” and you have made it so easy and strategic. Fabulous way to enter the new year:) Thanks for this resource and blessings to you!
Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine says
Wow, Gretchen, I just read your post Why The Goal Gets In The Way Of The Prize this morning and I was amazed at the message God had in store for me there. Through your words, I’ve been encouraged to enjoy God’s presence and soak up being (rather than doing). What an upward calling for me as I move towards 2017.
I look forward to hearing more about how you navigate this in the New Year, so let’s keep in touch.
And I’m linking your post here to encourage others as well:

Thank you so much Marva and I would love to keep in touch! I’m glad you were blessed by my post and thank you for providing the link:) We can easily relate can’t we?! I’m like a dog with a bone sometimes! Lol
Christin says
Thanks for creating such a great resource, Marva! Planning and organizing used to bring me anxiety, but now I’m learning to trust the Lord and plan out the course of my life, giving over every detail to Him. I also recently created a planner, and like you, really enjoyed the process– who knew planning could be so much fun! Your blog is beautiful, and I love the sparkle and shine you bring to each post you write! (In the cold, snowy place where I live, I sure like to imagine myself as an island girl!) Blessings to you in the upcoming new year!
Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine says
Thank you so much, Christin. I’m happy to meet another planning girl. 🙂
I wish I could say that every day is sunny and bright (both literally and figuratively) but I’m learning that we always have a choice.
I’m so looking forward to 2017 and all the amazing things God has in store for us.
Here’s to an amazing, Spirit-filled year. Peace and blessings to you this Christmas.
