A real keeper.<br /><br />I guess we never know who our words are impacting. <br /><br />As far as the mission statement, this is a little tool that can help clarify to ourselves why we do what we do. It doesn't need to be published, but you could do with it whatever you'd like! Have fun with it ... and let it offer encouragement to you as you continue wielding that pen!<br /><br />I find that our blogs do evolve over time since we are always growing and changing. So, a mission statement can be a good barometer, a helpful measuring stick that can be adjusted and tweeked ... or altogether transformed as we continue on our way.<br /><br />;-}Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684802537865104750.post-40034619263122896502015-01-18T21:25:15.185-05:002015-01-18T21:25:15.185-05:00I have a lot to this think about!

I do not have a mission statement posted and need to know if I should have this on my blog??? Also, I can answer some of the questions easily so I am hoping that when people visit my blog they feel some sense of clarity and purpose. What do you think? God is the Author so honestly it's my page filled with His words. As my dad told me recently, that's what you call the Holy Spirit. He sensed the spirit leading my writing. It was an amazing father/daughter moment! :) Thanks for this series!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684802537865104750.post-44924247872661852092014-05-04T18:50:47.420-04:002014-05-04T18:50:47.420-04:00Yep, 'irresistable' sure is a challenging ...Yep, 'irresistable' sure is a challenging word!!

Hm... I thought it was clear. So, I changed the header statement on the blog, and I hope that helps clarify. "Finding the presence and grace of God in everyday life"<br /><br />I like your questions. Just a 'gut-check' for me, but also to help guide me in writing. They are just the thing I need right now. Just great. I would welcome yours or any commenter's comments on my blog.
