Getting Focused

Just returning from the Blue Ridge Mountains Writer's Conference, I am fired up! But while there, realized I needed to become more focused to accomplish my goals. A good place to start would be to become more faithful to this blog, which is what I plan to do.

I have also been inspired to write a mission statement with objectives for Listening Hearts Ministry that I want to share with you:
MISSION STATEMENT:

TO ENCOURAGE CHRISTIANS TO GET ALONE WITH JESUS AND HELP THEM MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR TIME WHILE THERE.

OBJECTIVES:

• CONNECT CHRISTIANS TO THE LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE OF GETTING ALONE WITH JESUS.
• MENTOR NEW AND EMERGING CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE A DESIRE TO HEAR GOD’S MAGNIFICENT VOICE.
• HELP CHRISTIANS OBEY THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT: TO LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS, WHICH INCLUDES SCRIPTURE MEMORY, WITH ALL THEIR SOULS, WHICH INCLUDES JOURNALING AND PRAISE, WITH ALL THEIR MINDS, WHICH INCLUDES BIBLE STUDY, AND WITH ALL THEIR STRENGTH, WHICH INCLUDES SERVICE TO THE LORD.
• CREATE BIBLE STUDIES, BOOKS, SEMINARS, AND CONFERENCES THAT PROMOTE SIMPLE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINES IN AN EFFECTIVE WAY.
• INTEGRATE THE LISTENING HEART WAY OF LIFE INTO THE LIVES OF ALL CHRISTIANS.

Always Listen, Susan
