Our Desire
Desire Statement
Loving God Others and Self
With Heart Soul and Mind
Introduction
Hi, we are Andrew and Nicole
We are Christian writers and artists. Our desire is to love God, others, and ourselves as a part of our everyday lives.
Heart, soul and, mind
Loving with Heart Soul and Mind
Jesus tells us that the greatest thing we can do is to love God with all of our heart, soul and mind, and love others like we love ourselves. This means we look for ways to honor God with all we say, think, and do. God is good, and we want his love to flow into and through every part of our lives.
Genuine Love
A Love That Is Real
We desire a genuine love that overflows from a personal relationship with Jesus, and not from duty or obligation. God is love, he loved us first, and now we are to love.
Real Faith for Real Life
Real Faith for Real Life
Life is messy, and we are not perfect. Loving God, others, and ourselves is challenging. But, God is faithful and shows us grace. Life and faith are processes of growth. Rather than perfection, we desire grace and growth as a part of our everyday lives. Mature love lets go of fear.
Values
These are some of the values which we try to center our lives around as individuals and as a couple. They are listed in alphabetical order because we see them as being equally important; just in different ways and at different times.
-
Community
God is three-in-one, and He did not make us to go through life alone.
-
Creativity
When we encounter God, our imaginations are left full of creative ways to express what we think and feel.
-
Family
God is a good father. We are apart of his family, and our families reflect him.
-
Growth
God is unchanging, but he is always active. He is constantly causing us to grow in heart, mind, and soul.
-
Harmony
Not only should we strive to live at peace with others, but we strive for peace within ourselves.
-
Reverence
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is almighty and He deserves respect.
-
Thoughtfulness
Balancing skill, feelings, and intention, We are never mindless or half-hearted with our creations.
-
Truth
We believe in absolute truth. We don't believe in relativism. Truth is at the core of all we create. We seek the one who is the way, the truth, and the life.
