I use my time wisely, so I can best serve God.

My worldview and values are being informed and shaped by scripture, my faith, and the example of Jesus.
It is my desire to make the values of the Kingdom of God, and not the values of the world, the standard for my life.

I do my best to be a Christ-like example to both those in authority over me, and to those who come into my circle of influence.

12. Response to God's Calling

I seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness-how I can best serve God and be the person he is making me to be-ahead of my own personal ambition, comfort, and preferences.
I aim to be obedient to the Holy Spirit's leading in my life, even when it falls outside of how I thought I saw things going.
I'm open to going wherever God calls me, and doing whatever he calls me to do.
I have a heart to serve God with my life, whatever that looks like.
