3.2 What Are the Components of a Personal Vision Statement?

[Maria]

I would say the hardest component for me to come up with is definitely family because I know that we all started as Christians but then people started to fall away. So it’s hard being by myself doing this course when I know nobody around me is that interested. It isn’t going to stop me from learning about God or learning about what I’m called to do. But I can definitely see the change my family is having towards what I’m doing in a positive way so that’s encouraging.

@mharraway so pleased to hear that you are finding that the people around you are starting to view your studies and movement toward God in a positive way. It is very difficult to follow Christ when your family isn’t supporting you, but the good news of the gospel is that we are given a much bigger and (hopefully) more loving family than our natural family. Having said this, it is always hard to believe when you want the approval and affection of your natural family.

God bless you today Maria!

compared to other family situations, I’ve had it easy. Not saying it wasn’t hard but I can’t complain.

I think the hardest component is the specific ministry, simply because there are so many possibilities and areas that I am drawn to.

The component that is hardest for me to come up with is, Ministry General, because of the decay in this generation, sinful acts is the order of the day for many, this is where holy discontent percolates or sinks in.
