Mission, Values, and Vision

Sounds easy right? Just write down your mission statement, your core values and your vision and you’re ready to go. It shouldn’t take more than a few hours…Yeah right! We’re going on three days of working on this stuff and I have to say, although we have been blessed by the results and progress, we still have much to do. I don’t mean to sound negative about the experience because, in all honesty, I love it. I am so excited to be working on this part of the process with Van and Michael (and of course the girls…Jenny sometimes). I wish Josh and Lilly could be here for the discussions as well, but we know that they will very soon.

I just wanted to post what we have so far for those of you out there reading this blog regularly. More importantly, for those of you who have been praying for us. You are just as much a part of this as anyone of us. so, here it is…Enjoy!
