Family Strategic Planning

We feel it is important for every member of our family to know the direction our family is going.  I have sought to clarify and solidify that direction in two documents we can use to check our status- our family vision and our family goals.  Of course the Scripture is the authority, but I have sought to make Scriptural application here specific to our family.    

Family Vision

Be a family that will bring glory to God by exhibiting the pure and Godly relationships as described in Scripture, including the blessings of living out God's design for families as well as faithfully accepting our responsibilities as God's children and passing on this model as a legacy to future generations of our family.

Family Goals

Our goals are broken into three areas, as taken from our Family Vision: relationships, responsibilities, and legacy.  By focusing our goals to support our family vision, we hope it will bring us closer to realizing the vision we feel God has given us for our family.  We also seek to evaluate specific activities, and constantly seek to focus our activities on our goals.  By doing this, we hope to minimize activities that will divert us from accomplishing or moving closer to our family vision.  Certainly, we want to allocate resources (especially time and money) to things that support the direction we are supposed to be moving.  Let me also say these goals are goals - and we do not intend to imply we have accomplished them.  We simply want to move in this direction, as we feel this is where the Lord would have us to go.  I also expect as we go along, I will find other goals that need to be added to the list, that for whatever reason I failed to include at this time.
