I, Heather Louise Avila, will sow for myself righteousness; reap the fruit of unfailing love. I will seek the Lord until he comes. I will always humbly seek to run with perseverance the race marked out for me.
As a wife, I will love my husband, pursuing peace, love and oneness in my marriage; always guarding his heart and encouraging his passions.
As a mother, I will love my children, I will pray for them, and I will teach them to pursue Gods heart and purpose in their life. I will always remember they are His and not mine. I will encourage them to live a life with purpose and passion. I will help them see God in their surroundings.
As keeper of the home, I will strive to create an atmosphere of love, care, beauty, peace, kindness and joy, as a refuge from the world and a witness to the love of the Lord. I will do my best to have a have a home where grace is given and received freely—where shame is never embraced.
As a woman, I will strive to be sensible; taking every emotion, desire and thought captive for Christ. I will constantly seek wisdom and keep a community of friends that inspire me to live unto the Lord. I will take delight in whatever is pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent and worthy of praise.
As a leader, I will strive to be kind; treating everyone as though they were Christ Himself. I will pray continuously and never neglect His word, remembering always that He is holding it all together, not me. I will be teachable and always pursuing growth in myself and others.
…And all these things I will do as though God is my master and Lord, striving toward them as though He has spoken these things to me Himself.
