Goal-Setting for Christians – How to Spark your New Year Goals

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

Are Christians failing to realize the power of God at work in their lives? This goal-setting plan helps us avoid that trap using Biblical principles, proven techniques to approach change.

It’s that time of year when goal-setting and resolution-making kick into high gear. As Christians we are no strangers to new beginnings. Yet, too often, we fall prey like so many and fail to realise the power of God at work in our lives. Forget the former things; do not dwell in the past. See, I […]

Goal Planning Just Hit a New High – Spark Success Goals Planner

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

More than just a one-year calendar, the Goals Planner is your personal manual for setting goals in a way that will prepare you for an amazing year. I took my years of experience as a professional planner, advice from goal-setting gurus and biblical principles to create this amazing resource. It includes goal setting tips, monthly planning pages with goals progress and review, accountability, motivational quotes and so much more.

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’ […]
