the resolution

I do solemnly resolve to embrace my current season of life and will maximize my time in it. I will resist the urge to hurry through or circumvent any portion of my journey but will live with a spirit of contentment.

I will champion God's model for womanhood in the face of a post-feminist culture. I will teach it to my daughters and encourage its support by my sons. 

I will accept and celebrate my uniqueness, and will esteem and encourage the distinctions I admire in others.

I will live as a woman answerable to God and faithfully committed to His Word.
I will seek to devote the best of myself, my time, and my talents to the primary roles the Lord has entrusted to me in this phase of my life.

I will be a woman who is quick to listen and slow to speak. I will care about the concerns of others and esteem them more highly than myself.

I will forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.
I will not tolerate evil influences even in int most justifiable forms, in myself or my home, but will embrace and encourage a life of purity.

I will pursue justice, love mercy and extend compassion towards others. 

I will be faithful to my (future) husband and honor him in my conduct and conversation in order to bring glory to the name of the Lord. I will aspire to be a suitable partner for him to help him reach his God-given potential.

I will demonstrate to my (future) children how to love God with all their hearts, minds, and strength, and will train them to respect authority and live responsibly.

I will cultivate a peaceful home where everyone can sense God's presence not only through acts of love and service but also through the pleasant and grateful attitude with which I perform them.

I fully resolve to make today's decisions with tomorrow's impact in mind. I will consider my current choices in light of those who will come after me.
