vision statement

Hello to all who have decided to venture to this site... I want to share with you my vision statement. A little cliched, or corny sounding, yes, but working through this process has allowed me to really look ahead at where and what God is leading me into. Before I get too far into this, I want to briefly explain where the process of writing this vision statement comes from.


We've recently been working through curriculum entitled Life Compass. This curriculum that was developed within the C.R.M. organization, is used to help people in general regain a sense of what God is calling them to, or leading them toward. It has been a helpful tool, to open up doors of our past, seeing how our past has really defined a lot of our character and personality and how that plays into what God created each of us for, with specific purposes and giftings within the Kingdom. So, with that, I would like to share my vision statement with you all. Please keep in mind that vision statements grow and change over time and that what I have written now is what I feel and believe God is leading me toward. I would love to hear any comments, or thoughts you may have as you go through this...Thank you!



I believe:
~that God will use me because of who I am and not in spite of my flaws, to bring hope, truth & encouragement to the lives of the people I come in contact with.
I hope:
~that the life I live will be seen as incarnational as opposed to attractional
~that God will use me in ways I never dreamed possible
I desire:
~to use my gifts to serve in the Kingdom...baking, inviting, hosting, welcoming, mothering, listening, shepherding...
~to work amongst/with the poor...to know them, to love them, to serve them
I dream:
~of providing shelter, a safe place, a provider of necessities- body & soul
~of providing a place where people can come as they are to meet and know the love of Jesus
~that one day, my marriage & family life will be a living testimony of hope & encouragement to the lives of the people around me.
~of being called to the nations to be used by God in whatever capacity He sees fit...
I imagine:
~that God will call me to one day speak boldly of my faith and life experiences before others
~that writing a book (pertaining to my life's experiences, faith journey & what I've learned...meant to be a tool to empower & encourage others to risk & walk boldly in their faith) may be asked of me.
I understand:
~that I will face opposition
~that sacrifice will be required
~that I will be asked to entrust my every dream & desire into the hands of God
I commit:
~to surrendering my life's passions & pursuits unto God
~to applying what I've learned here to the paths before me that have not yet been walked on
~to seeing the good in the people that come across my path
I see:
~myself as an intercessor, a prophetic speaker, a discerner of spirits, & a listener...
~my home being a place of transformation & restoration of broken and hurting hearts
I know:
~this journey has no guarantees other than my Heavenly inheritance at the end of it all
~that while I will be tried and will struggle, that my perseverance will be a testimony of God's faithfulness in my life to those around me...and that I will be reminded of God's faithfulness through it all
I am/will be:
~a joy giver, a hope bringer, a risk taker, a truth speaker, a fighter, a restorer, a prayer, a counselor, a writer, a wife & a mother-both physically & spiritually, and a beautiful warrior bride of Christ :)
