You are not in darkness, so that that day should overtake you as it would thieves.—1 Thess. 5:4.

Earthshaking events will soon occur. The fulfillment of Bible prophecies confirms this fact, so we need to keep on the watch. What will help us to do that? The apostle Paul urges us to “keep our eyes . . . on the things unseen.” Yes, we need to bear in mind our reward of everlasting life, be it in heaven or on earth. As the context shows, Paul wrote these words to encourage fellow believers to focus on the happy outcome of their faithful course. Doing so would also help them to cope with trials and persecution. (2 Cor. 4:8, 9, 16-18; 5:7) Paul’s admonition contains an important principle: To keep our hope firm, we must look beyond the things that are immediately before us. We need to focus on significant events that are as yet unseen.—Heb. 11:1; 12:1, 2

Day 4: Identify My Values from 31 Day Reset Challenge by Rosetta Thurman

Today's challenge required that I develop a list of my values and from that list I was to pick the top 10 in no particular order.  From that list I am to develop a mission statement.


My list consist of only 7 values of importance to me.  At the top of my list I am concerned about health.  For without it there is no way to accomplish any other listed values.  However, before writing my personal mission statement I had to gauge if I have a full understanding of what a personal mission statement is.  The following is my definition:


A personal mission statement defines in a paragraph or so a person's reason for existence. It embodies their  philosophies, goals, ambitions and morals. Any person that attempts to exist without a mission statement runs the risk of wandering through life without having the ability to verify that he/she is on their intended course.

Personal Mission Statement

My purpose for being on this earth is to help others recognize, develop, and use their God-given intuitive abilities to ease suffering and grow in goodness, love, compassion, and wisdom. To accomplish this I will overcome the shackles of poor health, Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Depression.  I discovered being a slave to these conditions serve only to distract me.  These conditions drain me of the motivation needed to focus and accomplish my true purpose.  I will learn to communicate more effectively in my marriage (home) and relationships (outside of home) so that I am a worthy messenger of hope and love that only Jehovah can provide.  I will further develop my relationship with God through the study of His word so that I remain dedicated to learning how to be a better person.  I will pray daily for understanding, guidance, compassion so that I may be able to accomplish all of the above.
