If I am not intentional about pausing and thinking, I get carried along with the tide of life and end another day without really engaging my brain in interesting or thoughtful ways. So, as a challenge for you and me, I'm going to be journaling through these questions this month. I'm not necessarily going to write a paragraph or page, some will be short one or two word answers... but let's think through some of this stuff and stop for a few short minutes each day to really think. Better yet, get a friend and email or text your answers to each other to build each other up and hold each other accountable... and you'll also help husbands and family members who might need ideas for Christmas or birthdays! You can get a printable PDF format of the reflection questions here.
