Assessment Description
Have an action plan in which you draw from your reflections in previous journal assignments to develop a plan for personal soul care and discerning God's will. The plan should include the following:
1. Specify which specific practices you plan to incorporate in your personal life with rationale for your decision. (Lectio Divina, contemplative prayer, spiritual rhythms, spiritual disciplines, and/or the process of discernment)
2. Outline a realistic plan for managing your schedule to achieve your personal soul care goals.
3. Explain how you will take care of your soul while caring for others dealing with conflict and crisis. Be sure to include plans for developing accountability and support systems, so that you have personal support in addition to ministry support.
