Well the New Year has begun and many of you have made resolutions, promises to yourselves and others, or commitments to change, improve, or remove things in your lives. I am not good about resolutions, so I simply don't make them. My every year goal is to be better and do better but most important to look more like Christ and to please Him. That, in and of itself, is a daily challenge.
To that end, I decided to set a mission statement for this year. My inspiration to do so was prompted by my daughter and her school. At the beginning of each school year (her school has only been in existence for two years), she has to come up with a personal mission statement. Each and every class has to come up with a mission statement that reflects what they want to accomplish and how they plan to handle the challenges and triumphs of the year ahead. The school also has a mission statement. Their values are derived from the extremely successful series by Stephen Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. I am impressed by the mission statements that my daughter has come up with personally and that her classes have come up with as a collective unit.
So, here is the mission, should you choose to accept it. Set your mission statement for 2013. It can be as lofty or simple as you wish to make it. I am also going to set my own. Think about what you want the statement to reflect, make sure it is inspiring and realistic. Take a week or two to marinate on it and tweak it if you must. I promise to share my own within two weeks. I am currently revising it so it can reflect the things I want to achieve, improve, or show in this New Year. I can't wait to hear what you come up with. Please leave them in the comments or e-mail with your statement. I am going to select one lucky reader to get a small gift compliments of me. So get busy! In Habakkuk 2:2-3(ESV), "And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." Have fun, I can't wait to read them. For now, have a great week!
In Diva Love and Purpose,
