I am so excited to get to introduce you to the amazing Courtney DeFeo. She is just a dynamo with a million ideas a minute. The difference between her and some of us is that she actually moves on her ideas! You may know her because of her best selling ABC Scripture Cards, they are adorable and you’ll hear the story of how they came about in this podcast. Additionally, she just published her new book, In This House, We Will Giggle: Making Virtues, Love, and Laughter a Daily Part of Your Family Life! It’s delightful! You’re going to love Courtney as much as I did I know! Here’s a quick overview of some of the things we talked about…
Key Ideas: Part 1: Interview
- Effectively using your gifts
- How amazing stuff can happen when you wait on God’s timing
- How to give up what’s not working
- The importance of seeking wise counsel
- Forgiveness
- A strategy to stop comparing
- The power of a great Mission Statement
Part 2: How to create Your Own Mission Statement
“Find out what your lane is”, Courtney DeFeo
1. Ask – What are my passions and areas of natural giftedness?
- What is my special passion?
- What do I do better than anyone else? (Where do my gifts and talents line up?)
- How do I do this? What does it look like?
- What am I creating/designing/building?
- What is the result I’m looking for?
- What keeps me up at night?
2. Answer – What are we about? What am I about?
3. Application – Write it down, memorize it and use this as a filter for making decisions about opportunities as well as staying focused
