Mission Statement Mania

It’s hard for me to find the balance.  Hard to even know if that is what should be found.  How can I further God’s kingdom while, at the same time, enhancing my writing skills?  And, even more importantly, what is my motive?  I mean, truly, what’s my goal?  Not only as a writer, but even more so, as a mom.  As a wife.  As a friend.

I’ve been thinking a lot about goals and purpose lately.  It started about a year ago with the 2×4 God-smack and the Beth Moore study on Gethsemane from Jesus the One and Only.  And it’s been greatly advanced by Kat at http://www.inspiredtoaction.com/.  God is using this woman to inspire me.  See, I’ve been wanting to be more intentional as a mom.  As a woman, really.  But how to do it.  Well, that’s what this blog is about.  Specifically, this week we are working on defining our own mission statements.  And I am very, very excited about it.

Because this week, as I’ve prayed (a lot!!) about and pondered what my mission statement might be, I’ve found myself really struggling.  Feeling overwhelmed at times with all of the roles I play in life.  Examining everything I am involved in and the motives behind it.  Questionning my goals.  And finding them sorely lacking in some areas.  The truth is, I believe that God created me to bring glory to Him.  Period. 

I’m seriously thinking you should check out Kat’s blog.  It’s good stuff.  Super good.

Have a great weekend!

p.s. I would love to hear your thoughts about balance in life as a woman with many plates to spin…
