    Talking Point 1: Prioritizing the 4 Key Areas of Your Life Before we create a daily routine, we need to identify our priorities. We'll focus on 4 essential areas to include in your routine:

    1. Spiritual – Strengthening your walk with God
    2. Family/Home – Caring for your husband, kids, home duties, and appointments
    3. Physical – Maintaining exercise, healthy eating habits, and physical wellness
    4. Social – Connecting with loved ones, friends, and nurturing relationships

    Talking Point 2: Finding Joy in the Mundane It’s easy to overlook everyday tasks like laundry, cooking, or running errands. But God calls us to find joy in these mundane moments! When we shift our perspective and serve Him in every task, even the small ones, our days become more purposeful and fulfilling.
    Scripture: Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV) – “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”

    Talking Point 3: The Power of Intentionality Life in the military can feel unpredictable. But we can still be intentional with our time, even in chaos. Setting small, achievable goals aligned with our priorities helps bring stability and peace in unpredictable circumstances.
    Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-16 (ESV) – “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.”

    Box 2: Home & Family Practical tips for managing household duties, caring for loved ones, and keeping a God-centered focus in the midst of military life.
    Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

    Box 3: Social/Relationships
    The importance of nurturing relationships with family, friends, and your community.
    Scripture: Matthew 6:33 (ESV) – “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

    Box 4: Physical Health
    Maintaining physical health as a reflection of honoring God with your body.
    Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV) – “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
