1) Date Night Swap
2) Marriage Vacays (aka- kidless) 
3) Sitters doing light housework

It feels like to basic to call this a letter habit. Jenna unpacks how this habit has become about sowing seeds of love; a way to express "with-ness" when friends when she can't physically be with them. 

It could feel easy to brush past the impact of this habit, but remember a large part of our Christian faith is built on a series of letters to believers.  Don't underestimate the ripple effect of taking time to write your prayers or sow words of identity.

We don't want to ever be too busy to show up "as love" for those around and this is a simple act that can change your focus from hyper aware of your own world to be more others oriented.

Categories of letters to send:
- prayers for those going through hard seasons
- words of identity for those you notice "running their race well"
- gratitude for those who've impacted you or those in your sphere

In this episode Jenna talks about how asking the wrong question can get you skewed results with your habits.  
She talks about how asking "Do I want to?" lends itself to a biased answers. 
Instead it's more helpful when your motivation is low to ask: 

• What's a my goal?
• What would be helpful for me to get there?
• What edits/variations could I give me habit to better fit today?

It's not all or nothing when it comes to consistency, but if we keep asking the same question, we will keep getting the same answer. Change your question & you will change your answer.

This Episode
These habits were formed when Jenna was in a tough financial season & realized she had a lot of triggers around receiving from people when they were in need.  She is aware she will probably feel a lot of emotion initially but can process through quickly now that she acquainted with the pattern to arrive at being able to be grateful in real time instead of after the moment has passed. She shares a recent testimony  where the Zints just had a large tax bill paid off- which is what initially inspired this episode when she felt all the habits she had built in this area, fire without a lot of effort on her end. 
(yessss! love it when we do the work to emotionally heal & we feel the fruit of it!)
