Its about your mission in life

One of the assignments I had to do for this week was to write down my personal/biblical mission statement. This statement didn't need the right punctuation or specific writing style (like APA or MLA), but it had to be a sincere statement that reflected what God placed in my heart as an individual, encompassing all the roles I have in life: child of God, wife, mom, student, youth leader, future teacher, etc.

I took the whole week to really seek God about it and dive into depths of my heart and searched what is my mission in life. When it was time to write out the statement so I can upload it to moodle (its this learning community that we use to submit assignments and read any updates about the classes we have that are part of the site), I thought it was gonna take me awhile. To my surprise, my mission statement was simple and to the point.


You would think I would be happy that I had it all sorted out already and ready to be submitted, but I kinda struggled to accept that this was it because the wording sounds
so cliche and...simple. As I checked the guidelines Professor Ruppert gave us in class about writing this statement, one thing stuck out to me, the statement should NOT be written to impress anybody. I was like....woah...that's it!

So I finally accepted the fact that this was God's mission statement for my life in this season (Prof. Ruppert mentioned
that it can change too as God moves you forward in your love walk with Him). So here it is:

To be at REST in who GOD made me to be

and in the SEASON He has lead me to,

in order that I can live out His PURPOSES for me

with CHRIST-CONFIDENCE.
