Mission Statement
On Tuesday I had a “prayer day”. Jonathan worked it out with Mama Imanueli and I that each of us could have 1 day a month devoted to “focusing on God”. She gets the day off for hers and for mine she watches Asher for me and doesn’t do hardly any other work around the house.
So part of last Tuesday I prayerfully considered the mission statement for my life. Here’s what I came up with:
To be a woman who knows and loves God; loves, respects, honors, supports, and submits to her husband; teaches Asher throughout life, raising him to be a respectful, responsible man who loves God; and provides a healthy, comfortable home that is a haven for her family from the ordinary stresses of everyday life.
As I finished the statement a few desired traits came to mind. They are to be intentional, engaged, cheerful, content, flexible, relaxed, and patient.
Most of my time should be spent on things that bring me closer to my mission statement. I thought of a few other things that may be missing at first but then decided to leave it as is. My questions were: what about loving others, and what about ministry. My answers are: loving others is directly related to loving God, and my ministry involvement right now is in the support of my husband and doing things ministry-related that help him.
So this is as far as I’ve gotten with this. Now I can be encouraged that when I do dishes, I’m fulfilling my life’s purpose, not just doing busywork.
