Purpose

I've been working with a new friend of mine on my purpose. It's been facinating to muddle through the clutter of life and try to nail down my purpose... a purpose that really resonates at my core. This isn't a purpose like... "to glorify God" or the Rick Warren purposes. It's a more focused statement about what I am meant to do.

Here's an exercise... can you state your purpose in eleven words or less?

Allen, I did what you are doing about 10 years ago and it has helped in so many ways:

to equip people to know, share and mulitply Christ by teaching the Word of God, consulting about the things of God, and leading the people of God

okay, 28 words, but: equip, teach, consult, and lead are the driving verbs.

this helps me make calls on what to do with my time and energy
