My mission statement

Steve and I have been working on individual mission statements using the Franklincovey.com mission builder.  I am posting mine here as a reminder to me and also as an archive of sorts.

I am at my best when I am well rested, able to be creative, and am challenged academically and theologically.

I will try to prevent times when I am tired, have to be in control of everything, am cooped up to long or when the kids are all behaving poorly.

I will find enjoyment in my personal life through organization, creativity, study, being with my family and enjoying the outdoors through farming and gardening.

I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as organization, research, sewing, quilting and nutrition.

I will strive to be a godly and feminine wife and mother, manage a grass based farm, orchard and garden, make beautiful quilts and clothing and always be learning.

My life's journey is to become and then to be an example of a Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 woman.

I want to be a person my husband, children and grandchildren will say helped prepare them to lead godly lives, serving Jesus.

My most important future contribution to others will be foremost, to be a helper to my husband in his vision for servant hood, loving God and others and being a mentor to future generations; and further, to be an example of a godly feminine mother who helped train her sons to be men of character, valor, courage, purity and honor and who helped train her daughters to be women of feminine grace, pure and holy.

I will always be striving for not always feeling like I need to be working but enjoy spending time with my husband and children and spending more time in God's word and in prayer.

I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life: Physical through working hard and eating well, Spiritual by studying God's Word, Mental by always learning and Emotional by praying continuously.
