PLAY YOUR POSITION

After watching Sadie play soccer this year,
 I found myself continually reminding her to play her position.

She was getting worn out running the whole field,
trying to play everyone's position.

I realized I needed that lesson in my life as well.

I was getting run down playing too many positions- 

Care giver of our 94-year-old grandma and a new born and everyone in-between.

After studying the Proclamation on the Family, my patriarchal blessing, 

and Julie Beck's talk- "Mother's Who Know"

I came up with a mission statement with my positions in mind:

MOLLIE’S PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT

Individual:  Temperate & Diligent in all things; Clean & Positive in my thoughts & actions.

Wife: True as we bear all things together; Faithful as we rely on the Lord; Generous as I put his needs first.

Mother (Caregiver): Nurture by creating & maintaining healthy bodies, clean clothes, an orderly house, regular worship, & wholesome fun.

Mother (teacher): Rear in righteousness by being Calm as I teach them to Love; Patient as I train them to be self-reliant so they can serve.

Daughter/grand-daughter: Humble as I seek & follow their counsel; Grateful for their generosity by being generous back.
