I am faithful to my calling and election as a child of God. I live to serve God and to please Him. My life is His. Walk by faith.
Category: My Values
Simplicity
I choose to live a life of simplicity in a world that pressures us towards increasing complexity. This applies to the areas of possessions, treasure, and time.
Balance
Live life with balance. Seek first to understand then to be understood. Listen more than you speak and seek to mend fences rather than burn bridges.
Wisdom
I value knowledge that has as its foundation God's Word. I pursue wisdom and pray that the Lord will bless me with the wisdom and understanding that comes only from the Lord.
Family
I am committed to my family. After my relationship with God, my family is my next priority. I am a servant-leader to my wife and children. Lord, help me in this challenging area.
Teachable
I choose to be a learner, to be open to the thoughts and ideas of my superiors and my peers. I seek first to understand and then to be understood.
Humility
I choose to humble myself under the mighty hand of God. Pride is built into every man. This is a daily battle for each one of us.
Authenticity
I strive to be a person of authenticity. I am who I am. This, to me, is the antithesis of hypocricy. I strive by the power of the Holy Spirit to live an authentic life where my private life is consistent with my values, and my public life mirrors my private life.
Contentment
Learn to be inwardly satisfied regardless of external circumstances. "God, Your way, Your timing, Your outcome." Surrender. It is what it is. Let God be in control. Trust Him.
Solitude
I seek to spend time in silence and solitude each week contemplating and appreciating the work of the Lord in my life, the blessings, of the Lord, and how His hand is directing and leading my life. "Be still and know that I am God."
