20/20 Vision for 2026

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD,
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11

Happy New Year, ladies! ​Don’t you love a fresh start? I love the idea of anything “new” because it carries excitement for what’s to come and endless possibilities of what lies ahead. The beginning of a brand-new year ignites hope in so many of us, including me!

Vision Boards & New Beginnings

Do you have a New Year’s resolution? Maybe you choose a verse or a word to meditate on throughout the year. This year, our women’s group at church (shoutout to all my Sheologie gals!) created prayer/vision boards for 2026.

We filled each board with magazine clippings, Scripture cards, and word art that reflect where each woman hopes to grow both personally and spiritually. What a beautiful way to lay out our hopes, prayers, and visions for the year ahead, all while resting in the reassurance that God goes before it all.

Planning with Purpose and Surrender

Remember! We must be careful not to hold onto our plans so tightly that we’re unwilling to surrender them, or their changes, to our Heavenly Father. He already knows what 2026 holds for you, no matter how much planning you do. And we MUST trust God through it all!

Your year may be filled with an abundance of blessings, and inevitably, it will likely include a few hard moments sprinkled in as well. Let’s vow to start seeing what we call “bad luck” as opportunities for God’s blessings, because God is faithful and He keeps His promises. We can trust that His plans are far better than our own.

So ladies, have fun creating your prayer and vision boards and invite the Holy Spirit to guide you. Remember to hold your goals and plans for the future with a loose grip.
God’s got 20/20 vision for 2026, and He sees far beyond what we ever could.

Until next time, shine bright, sisters—
Not for praise, but for the One who saves.

Hi, I'm Lenya Heitzig, founder of Sheologie where we encourage women to step boldly into their God-given calling. Whether that’s at home, in the workplace, the church, or wherever God leads, we believe your influence matters.

There is an undeniable art to being female. And I want to personally invite you into something very close to my heart: Sheologie. At its core, Sheologie is a movement of women choosing to live fully alive in Christ. It's a space where your soul can breathe again. A space where we encounter the living God in ways that ignite a holy passion to transform our everything.

Sheologie was born from a desire to create a place where women from all walks of life can encounter truth, beauty, and purpose. Whether you’re searching or struggling, healing, or celebrating, we want you to know that you belong here. We believe that God has written something sacred over your life. And we’re here to help you uncover it.

So, what does Sheologie offer? We host Bible studies that dig deep into God's Word paired with breakthrough groups, so you never have to walk alone. Our seasonal events are designed to refresh your spirit.

We show up with purpose on social media to be a light in the scroll, offering truth and beauty in a place that often feels dark. And we'll send you a weekly devo to help you pause, refocus, and lean into God's presence.

There's always space here for worship, laughter, healing, and restoration. No judgment, no performance. Only Jesus.

We've seen lives changed. Marriages restored. Healing begin. Friendships formed. Purpose awakened. That's the power of community. That's the power of God's Word. And that's the heartbeat of Sheologie.

So, if you're wondering if there's a place for you, there is. If your heart's been whispering "there has to be more", you're right. If you’re ready to become all God created you to be, this is your moment. Come with your questions. Come with your faith, or your doubt. Come with your whole, beautiful story. There’s a seat for you. There’s a sisterhood waiting. There's a God already calling you closer. And here at Sheologie, we can't wait to walk with you.
