Thought:

No one can take away the work you’ve done. You’ll remember your mission for the rest of your life. Live worthy of the gift you’ve been given and you will look back on your mission with fondness for time and eternity 

Misc:

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line.

The Decision has been made.

I AM A DISCIPLE OF
JESUS CHRIST

I won't look back, let up, slow down, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by Faith, lean on HIS presence, walk with patience. I am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable...

MY MISSION IS CLEAR

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go till he comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till he stops me. And when He returns for His Own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My Banner will be clear.

Invitation: 

1- Stay in touch with your mission friends

2- Pay your tithing for the rest of your life

3- Go to all the church meetings you are called to attend

4- Go to the temple often; pause before entering to remember why you’re there
