Anchored in What Matters Most

Reflections on the values that steady my soul

When I pause and listen closely to the rhythm of my heart, I find that it beats in harmony with the values God has planted deep within me. These values are not shifting sands, but steady stones — anchors that hold me through the storms and guide me toward the purpose He has called me to.


📖 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." — 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV)

Faith & Spirituality

Faith is my highest priority. It is the root from which everything else in my life grows. Without it, I lose my compass, but with it, I walk in strength and purpose, able to pour into others from the abundance I have received.


Love & Compassion

Love is not a fleeting feeling but an action — giving time, energy, and presence to those who need it most. I am moved deeply by the broken-hearted and long to restore hope where it has been lost.


Family, Relationships & Community

Relationships are treasures to me. Whether in the closeness of family or in the warmth of community, connection brings true fulfilment. To support, encourage, and walk alongside others is one of the greatest privileges of my life.


Service & Kindness

Service is a language of love. Meeting needs, offering kindness, and being a beacon of hope is central to who I am. The joy of helping others rise is worth more than worldly success. Integrity &


Generosity

Honesty is my guiding light. I would rather be faithful in the small things than chase empty ambition. Giving freely — whether in love, time, or resources — brings me joy, especially when done without expectation.


Courage

Courage to love, courage to stand against injustice, courage to remain steadfast in my faith. I know that fear will not have the final word, because perfect love casts out fear.

Creativity

Creativity is a gift that stirs joy, healing, and self-expression. It allows me to bring beauty from brokenness, light into dark corners, and renewed purpose where despair once lingered.


Growth & Learning

I am committed to becoming more like Christ, step by step. Personal and spiritual growth is a continual journey, one that shapes me into His likeness.


Health & Wellness

Caring for my body and soul is an act of stewardship. When I rest, nourish, and tend to my wellbeing, I am better able to love and serve those entrusted to me.


Balance & Rest

Balance is not easy, yet it is necessary. When I pause, I learn to trust that God is working even when I am still. Rest allows me to give from overflow instead of exhaustion.


Freedom

To live authentically and in alignment with God’s purpose brings freedom. Though I value security, I treasure the gift of making choices that reflect who He made me to be.


Beauty & Aesthetics

Beauty lifts the soul. Through art, colour, and creativity, I glimpse God’s splendour. Yet beauty is never above love. It enhances, but does not define, the values I hold dear.


Achievement & Ambition

Worldly ambition holds little weight compared to Kingdom impact. I measure success not by accolades but by the lives touched, the hearts healed, and the hope restored.

🌿 These values are not a checklist but a song — woven into the fabric of my daily living. May my life continue to be an offering that reflects His love, His truth, and His light.

🙌 Prayer:

Lord, anchor me in these values You have planted within me. Keep me steadfast in faith, overflowing in love, and generous in service. May my courage rise, my creativity bring healing, and my life reflect the beauty of Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
