My Personal Mission Statement

During my little "retreat" this week, I did a lot of thinking about what I am all about...my "purpose" for lack of a better word. I came up with a personal mission statement so that I can always keep myself in check to make sure that the life I am living day-to-day is reflective of the person that I hope to be.

My Personal Mission Statement:


To be a good steward of all that God has entrusted me with as I strive to live a life reflective of Christ that points others to Him and His Kingdom.

I will aim for good stewardship over...
    1. My Time - 
      1. Use my time wisely
      2. Be mindfully present in every moment and not take my time here on earth or with my loved ones for granted
    2. My Temple (1 Corinthians 6:19)
      1. Take care of my body through good nutrition and physical fitness
      2. Be careful of everything that I put in and on my body
    3. My Talents 
      1. Aim to use my creativity, strengths, and influence meaningfully
    4. My Treasures 
      1. Be intentional in my roles as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend
      2. Spend my money wisely
      3. Be generous with my money and belongings
      4. Take care of the earth and all of God's creation
Many more good things came from my time of reflection. I will continue to share them with you as I hope to encourage all of you in your personal journeys.


Always, 

Amanda
