Build a Foundation
Values: Faith, Scholarship, Questioning Spirit
I want to build a foundation for faith and practice for my family from a position of scholarship and discipleship, to challenge them in asking questions so that they might own their beliefs, and above all to encourage them in placing their trust in God and His promises. I want my children to be prepared when they go out into the world, such that they know their foundation is sure and tested.
Create a Home
Values: Family, Tradition, Authenticity
Home is where we are free to be who we are. I want to foster an atmosphere of warmth, of tradition, and of freedom. Warmth, that we might each find rest in each others love. Tradition, to carry our identity and guide us in the ways of life. Freedom, to be uniquely ourselves without fear of judgment in a world that often pressures us to fit in. It’s a shelter from the world, a Sabbath all of its own.
Inspire a Generation
Values: Hope, Tikkun Olam, Joy
Our vision is one of hope, centered squarely on the Gospel. It's this hope that propels us to redeem our world through the deeds of Tikkun Olam. It is this hope that brings the sparks of eternity, moments of joy into the everyday of our lives. Open your eyes, see the joy and wonder in the world--there is so much more to life than meets the eye.
Grow a Family
It is in bringing these all together that I hope to see our family grow, recognizing each person's unique talents and working together to build the Kingdom. Ours is a faith that is unshakably rooted in God and His Word, joyously reaching toward hope, and compassionately wrapped in the day by day expressions of love.

ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a joy to share our journey. Thanks for following with us!
DeleteI think this concept is so so very important! We have life purposes and visions; we write them up for our marriages, projects, and careers. Why not for our families. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow else are we supposed to know where we're going? Hoping to continue to develop this through the years--it doesn't all come at once. Thanks for the comment.
