To live an authentic life. To be real + stay true to who I am in all situations and circumstances. To be real and honest about my experiences so that my testimony will speak to the works of God being displayed in my life. To fulfill the purposes and plans God has for my life, that my life, relationships, interactions and words may bring Him glory on earth. And when the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth, He would find our household and the hearts within it fully committed to Him.
