Am I more prone to turn away from God or toward God
when life is hard?
With what temptation am I struggling the most right now?
How is God providing for me?

Questions to Consider & Points to Ponder:

Questions to Consider & Points to Ponder:

Did I/we do what we said we were going to do?
If not, why?
If so, what’s next?

What is the time lapse between my awareness of the measurements
and my course correction?

"You are a part of the infinite vastness of the universe, a part of the infinite vastness of God-Who-Is-Love. And yet, in all of it, you are literally unique. None has been, or ever will be, created exactly like you. When God formed you, God designed you uniquely."
- Rev. Lisa Cressman

Questions to Consider:
What do I need to prune?
Is my strategy clear and actionable?
Do I know what I need to do each day?
What actions do I control?

Points to Ponder & Questions to Consider:
Time and energy are finite resources. If we do not establish and keep
our priorities, then other people, outside forces, chance, pressure, and happenstance will shape our lives.
Do I really know how I spend my time?
Are my time, energy, and resources aligned with my priorities?
Where are there discrepancies and disconnects between what I value
and how I spend my time and energy?
