"If I walk in the footsteps of the Master, I will master my true self!" Do you ever struggle to find your creative voice, your footsteps, your true self?
There can be so many distractions along the way, especially as working moms, with these tenuous economic times, and reliance on others to get a job done . . . sometimes it's a challenge to focus on our original goal, accomplish our purpose, and fulfill our mission.
I do believe we are each born with a purpose and that we have blessed instructions at our fingertips - Jesus Christ stayed focused on His goal, to serve God; His purpose, to teach love; and His mission, to demonstrate to people how to lovingly serve each other while we serve God. He said, "Follow me! For the things I have done, greater things than this shall you do."
What is your goal?
What is your purpose?
What is your mission, personally and/or professionally?
Are you curious to know how to answer these questions? I'd love to hear from each of you, and your thoughts as they relate to this.
I had intended to launch TCD's first Beautful Idea (this post), however . . .I had anticipated (and needed) my new web site to go live in order to make the kit available to you. My web guys are doing their best to work out the little bugs and we will, hopefully, be live by Monday.
in the meantime, talk to the foot! My sweet (and NEVER shy) Katelyn cozy in a laundry basket, reading. In her 9-year-oldness I delight in every day I am blessed to be her mommy. Dont'cha just want to tickle those toes?
Tomorrow, is my first born, Jessica's 12th birthday. (yea! she let mommy design the party invites)
How have TWELVE years passed by already? She is blooming into a beautiful, bright, aware young lady. Given we almost lost Jessica due to complications at birth, I count every day she is a part of our lives a gift and pure joy. They each bring such unique gifts to our family.
My bright-eyed baby girl then:
And, my beautiful daughter now: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA! Have a blessed weekend filled with sunshine and surprises - xoxo Terri
Terri, my girls are 3 years apart, too, my oldest being the 9-yr old so I feel for you! Wonderful photos of darling girls -- I love the birthday invite you created!
