Today I was traveling out of town for a training class pertaining to my specific role in my job. The trainer said before we get started let's talk about our company's mission statement and then we will be able to see if we are doing our job to it's best ability. I giggled...
My ongoing thought for this week was my personal mission statement. I had just experienced the most amazing church service in quite a long time. All have been good lately but I mean this was AMAZING!!!! I left the service feeling more intimate with my husband than I ever have and that is a huge accomplishment. Our pastor's topic was how to become desirable to your spouse. He brought in great scripture with true true true meaning and understanding.
We want to be desirable to our spouses. I mean I want to walk into the room and see immediately in my Philly's eyes that I am his one and only. This sermon showed me and him how to do that.
The key???
"Be a devoted, loving, continuous, and passionate prayer-warrior for your family."
One of our members talked about the different levels of marriage and when she and her husband began to connect on a Godly level...well as she put it, "He was never sexier as he was when he read his Bible."
I loved it. It is so true...When I get into Phillip's car and the Christian radio channel is on instead of sports radio I just automatically gleam. Or when I look at the computer and he has already been looking at his daily devotionals I get tingly inside. I love when at any random moment at work, my email pops up new message and there is a bible verse from my Philly.
Having a strong spiritual relationship helps having an invincible relationship. However your mission statement shouldn't be established just to benefit you and your spouse or you and material possessions in this world. Your mission statement should be created to help create a more meaningful life in the name of Jesus Christ.
So me being the freaky "list girl"; I am coming up with 5 key values to define my mission statement. The reason it is taking so long is I want Bible verses to back up my mission. So me lacking in memory skills when it comes to God's word means I am having to do a lot of searching and highlighting. I can't wait to share it with you guys when it is all done. However I want to go ahead and share one of the main passages from the Bible that is going to help me become that beautiful child of God I crave to be.
"A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
Proverbs 31:10-31
God bless to all of my faithful friends and followers...
