Outcome: From Lesson 1, we undertook a liturgical audit of our lives to understand our love-shaping practices.  In lesson 2, we will create a Rule of Life to orient our everyday practices to the worship of God, love of community and witness to the world.
Click on the link below for instructions on how to create a Rule of Life.  Reflect prayerfully on the questions pertaining to the 4 areas of life and enter your responses below.  Be as specific as possible regarding the practices you are committing to make a regular part of your life.
1. Devotional Practices: Mark 1:35 is one of many examples of Jesus prioritizing his UP relationship with God in solitude and prayer to guide and sustain him. What are your practices or intentions for communing with God in worship, prayer, abiding in His word, meditation, journaling, etc.?
2. Rest and Recreation: In observing Sabbath, we demonstrate our capacity to live under the reality of God’s gracious provision. This can be practiced in different ways daily, weekly, quarterly, and annually. In what ways will you rest, exercise, vacation and play?  
3. Family Relationships: Galatians 5:22-6:4 is one of many passages instructing Christian families how to relate to one another. What are your practices or intentions for building healthy relationships in your marriage and with your children?  How are you nurturing healthy children?      (OR) Healthy Singleness: Singleness is a gift from God and for His service (1 Cor. 7:7, 34). Yet friendship is essential for wholeness (Prov. 17:17). What are your practices or intentions to nurture healthy singleness?  
Team/Church Relationships: In 1 John 4:11, Christians are instructed to love one another because God has sacrificially loved us in Christ. Jesus stated plainly, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). What are your intentions for growing in love towards your team and church? Regarding your sending church, supporters and MST, how are you staying in healthy relationship with them?  
4. Ministry: Colossians 3:23 invites us to do our work with all our hearts as working for the Lord, not humans. As you consider your assignment description, what priorities rise to the surface? What aspects give you the most joy and satisfaction? What areas have you been inclined to let lag? What help might you need to engage your work more wholeheartedly?
