Mission Statements

When we were in Ywam, we went through a lot of things...some good...some not so good. I am trying to find the good where I couldn't before. This leads me back to "mandatory meetings" that I had to go to. One of the things we had to do was create a personal and mission statement. Well, sufficed to say at that time and place I was not wanting to learn because of all the philosophy that was being taught that I didn't agree with. When we started doing mission statements it was another thing that just made me feel like we were limiting ourselves and what God may have wanted to do in our lives. Just another box in another box. Well, being away from that atmosphere I have been able to see things that they taught in another light. Not that they were right or that what they were passing on to us was right; because it was being passed down with an agenda; but with its original intentions. So I have created a mission statement for myself. Not that it will limit me to just the statement but it will help me focus when there isn't something specific that God has me doing. Okay...here it goes. Please tell me if this is too narrow minded.
MY MISSION STATEMENT:
" To be a wife and a mother that affirms everyones value in Yeshua through my actions, to be an intercessor for my husband and children and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem."

Now, I am not limited to this statement and it will probably change as I grow but, I think it will be a great start and a good focus point. I guess I am growing away from the bitterness in my past experiences and embracing them as another growing point that I need to learn from. If it were all that easy:) LOL

Church Marquis

I have decided to start a post that will show case church marquis. You can add your favorite ones or ones you hate the most. I have quite a few of both. Here are some starters:

1:" The King is alive and his name ain't Elvis!"
2:" God built a church...not Promise Keepers." (This one is one Ryan and I hate. Talk about being completely off the mark.)
3:" Does your faith work for a living?"
4:"What if God is waiting for a sign from us?"
5:"Forbidden fruit produces much jams."

Well, as I think of them I will post more. Please add the ones you remember. I am sure it will be a fun time and a good laugh...at least most of the time.
Cheers!

VAUGHN IS NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!

I had an epifone this morning. I was reading the let'stalkalias blog and it is just chalked full of awesome theories about whether Syd was in on Vaughn's "death" or if she didn't know etc...etc. Well I thought back to an epi that I watched about a week ago. It is my second favorite episode. It is in S3 when Vaughn came to see Syd to see how "she was doing", and Syd delivered one awesome monologue. She talks about how he abandoned hope and how they had seen too many things in their line of work to assume anything. Then she said "I wouldn't have given up hope." Well, I had a major revelation today. I don't think Syd was in on his "death" but I don't think that she thinks he is dead. I know she has hope. AND, with all the clues that JJ has been giving for us fans...I don't think he would let us down. Oh Yeah, my most favorite epi is when Syd and Vaughn kissed for the first time after the toppling of SD6.

My New Years Resolution...

Most people think that New Years Resolutions are useless and they are broken as soon as they are made but I have a dream. I have just one resolution... to lose 26 lbs by my birthday. I think I can do that. Updates will come in 5 lb increments. Maybe I will do a before and after pic at the end. Start the countdown. Wish me luck.
Starting weight: 141 lbs
Ending weight: 115 lbs
