About 5 years ago Hannah and I were going through some stuff that really made us stop, think and pray about what life is for (purpose) and what we are doing here (mission). At the time I was super down and frustrated about many things. I am naturally a typical type A, fast-paced task orientated person who likes to move and get things done.
It was during this low season that we took time to think through what we are building our life on. What kind of foundation do we have? Is that foundation strong enough to withstand the storms that come in life? How am I to lead our family? As we sought to answer these kinds of questions we landed on three simple ideas. We desire to be people who KNOW GOD, JOYFULLY SUBMIT TO GOD, and LOVE LIKE JESUS.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26-28 – ESV Bible
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
