Who in your life are you most responsible for?

There are multiple ways we can think about our responsibilities — from the tasks we have to complete and check off of to-do lists to others we may have to look out for, lead, or take care of, like family, children, pets, coworkers, or even ourselves.

Who in your life are you most responsible for right now?

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

I am a chosen soldier
in the army of The Lord
Presence,
Spirit lifted
Sovereign Word,
my trusted sword.

I put on Ephesians armor;
Found ready,
as we stand.
Together He battles with us,
fight for good, and Glory land.

The breastplate of righteousness
adorned across my chest
Protects and helps guide us.
My heart source brightly cleansed.

The helmet of salvation
Covers and Keeps watch.
Shielding darts,
casts down arrows,
diffuses negative thoughts.

Washed robes of White.
Mercy’s priestly gown.
Anointed Oil of Righteousness,
Lamb Sheared without a sound.

Unblemished armor,
Clothed in strength.
Mercy’s knight-
Shield of faith;
provides a fortress to
Reflect His Holy Light!

Covered by King’s glory.
Truth belt buckled in.
Following His Story,
fueled this fire from within.

Yielded body
Willing forge.
Faithful soldier;
Unsheathed sword.

Marching onward
torrential battles…
crushing giants forThe Lord-

Designed to knock down strongholds,
Conquer fear, and destroy doubt.
Anoint us as we travel,
steadfast martyrs for the crown.

To God be the Glory!

A responsibility I am avoiding right now is…

Let’s be real Mighties, we can’t always keep up with every single one of our responsibilities 24/7. It’s just so exhausting! And not possible! We’re human! (No shame at all, we definitely understand.)

What responsibility would you say you are — purposefully or not — avoiding at the moment?

If you had an extra free day each week, how would you spend it?

Mighties, imagine having an additional day every week to do whatever you wanted. What would you do? Would you sleep in and catch up on much-needed rest? Tackle a project you've been putting off? Maybe you'd spend it doing something fun—or perhaps you'd do nothing at all.

How would you make the most of those extra 24 hours? 🕰️

What daily responsibility do you find most challenging to keep up with? The easiest?

Keeping up with our daily responsibilities isn’t always easy. Some days come with a load of responsibilities, while others are a bit lighter and leave more room for rest and fun. (And balancing our health needs and energy levels along with those responsibilities may also be an added task all on its own!)

What daily responsibility do you find to be most challenging? Which is the easiest?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that her most challenging responsibility is balancing her finances while her easiest is making sure she's getting her work done every day.

I Have a Disease Called Relapsing Polychondritus , nice to say 👋 Helllo #autoimmune

I watched my dad have symptoms of Relapsing Polychondritus when I was a kid. No one in the family has ever heard of it . They don’t think dad had symptoms.
