My Vision

What is my vision?

Honestly I want nothing more for my life than for it to be a vessel for God's truth, God's love, and God's compassion. Do I do the best job at that? Quite frankly, no, but when I think about the greater trajectory of my life, that's what I desire. I desire for people to enter into the folds of God's truth, His love and His compassion. I desire to do this by living according to the truth of who God says I am, the contentment of His love and the generous nature of His compassion.

I am confident that God has crafted each and every one of us to live out of specific strengths and the narratives that He has written into our lives. In my case, I see my future as one that works toward allowing the people around me to come to an awareness of what that looks like for them personally. I believe this can only be done via God's truth. If we live by the world's truth we will never be enough and we will never be fulfilled. Living into God's truth requires us to be active participants of scripture and fellowship.

This leads me to a great desire to teach truth and create spaces for others to experience God and the truth he speaks into our lives.

I feel as though God's love is most apparent through how we serve one another as a body and seek the betterment of each other. Living life with each other as believers requires an intentional pursuit of what is best for our brothers and sisters. This is so evidently done in service, and I have a deep desire for my life to be marked by service unto others. Through these actions I see less of myself and more of God within His people.

This leads me to a great desire to live in service to others and create environments for others to grow in how they seek to serve their brothers and sisters.

I have seen God's compassion most in how we live in community with one another. It's difficult to see how God is moving in compassion when you are narrowed in on your own life's lens. However, community provides the opportunity to extend compassion while seeing God's craftsmanship amongst your brothers and sisters. Intentional community is vital to this process and builds in us an awareness of each other's needs above our own.

This leads me to a great desire to live in intentional community with my fellow believers while leading others to be discipled and grown by God's compassion by living life together.

Being a vessel for God's truth, love and compassion doesn't always offer what's most glamorous for me, however it allows me a front row seat to who God is and how he rolls. I want to be a woman of intentionally seeking after the good gifts of God while faithfully allowing God to refine the parts of me that are leading me elsewhere and in due process allowing others to do the same.
