My mission statement

Britney Thompson,

called to be a living sacrifice to god. (Romans 12:1,2)

commissioned to be pure and blameless in the sight of God and man. (Philippians 1:10)

Petitioned as a disciple of jesus to go and preach

the gospel to every nation, baptizing them and

teaching them (Matthew 28:19,20) how to rightly divide gods inspired word. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Recognizing that god will make everything

Beautiful in his own time. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Understanding that god knows more than I do (Isaiah 55:8) and managing my time on this earth accordingly.

Finally, I will remember that I have been created for this exact moment in history (Esther 4:14) and live every moment as though it were my last.

My mission statement is simple and concise, pulled directly from the Bible and still extremely relevant for today. Not only have I not lived up to this standard but I have failed miserably for years. I have forgotten what it means to live selflessly and am lost when it comes to realizing God's calling in my life. My dreams and aspirations have fallen by the wayside as I have spent time living…. "LIFE". You know exactly what I mean when I say "life". The perfect boyfriend (Who didn’t end up being so perfect), the glamorous job (That took up all my available time), the partying, the money (Still was never enough), basically everything the world tells me I need to be happy. But the truth is I have never been so unhappy. The majority of the time I forget how to smile, I forget the small things that make life worth living. I forget God, family, friends, trees, children, the small things that make life truly a life worth living.
