Sample some of the tools Rick uses to create his own personal life statements and evaluations in the areas of mission, family, vocation, and community ministry.

Life Purpose Statements

Where is God Leading Me?

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;he's the one who will keep you on track. Prov 3:5-6 (Msg)

Life purpose statements are steps of faith in each area of your life in which you feel God nudging you to either BE (character development) or DO (SHAPE deployment), and you know you could not fulfill them without Him. Think of these statements as opportunities to become all that God has made you to be so that you can bless Him with your life.

There are four main areas of your life for which you will develop life statements:
personal, spiritual, vocational, relational.

Personal Life    This is the area of self; Character, Core Values, Strengths, Weaknesses, Hobbies, Health, Rest, Diet, etc.

Spiritual Life    This is the area of your faith; Service, Stewardship, Prayer, Evangelism, Worship, and Life Purpose.

Vocational Life    This is the area of your career/work/specialties; From Marketplace member to Homemaker.

Relational Life    This is the area of fellowship; Friends, Family, Parenting, Marriage, Dating, Community.

Please don't rush. Take the time to reflect and prayerfully craft each statement. Have fun and take big steps of faith!
