Wishing You All A Blessed and Happy New Year!

As another year begins, I thought I'd share my personal mission statement and prayer with you as a way to remind myself of God's call on my life. I pray that it's meaningful for you as well.



Dear Lord, help me today~

~to enthusiastically seize this day and its opportunities, for tomorrow may be too late...

~to gratefully accept and celebrate this day, and all it brings as a gift and adventure from You, and to live it with discipline, courage, integrity, confidence, balance, determination and purpose...

~to live in the present with contentment, peace and joy, because the past is behind me and the future is in Your hands...

~to treasure my family and friends, realizing they bring so much meaning and joy to my life...

~to be salt and light to all those who cross my path, by passing on to them the gift of grace You have lavished on me...

~to make my home a haven for all who pass this way...

~to keep my mind, body and spirit strong, so I can better serve You...

~to faithfully use and humbly teach to others the treasures, abilities and gifts You have entrusted to me...

~to make a positive impact before this pilgrimage leads me home...

~to live simply, but profoundly...

~to practice Your presence...

~to guard my heart...

~to listen for, hear, and obey only Your voice... ~And most importantly, to know You and make You known.
