Tagged... Ten questions to ask...

Steph tagged me with this... so here it goes...

1. What's one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?

Spend more time in scripture and thanking Him in ALL things... not just when I remember or when I am happy in the flesh.

2. What's the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?

To simply have Him increase and me decrease...

3. What's the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?

Pray with them more and continue to read scripture together each day.

4. In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?

Temperance... I have to struggle with walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh... but specifically in temperance.

5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?

Probably people that just want to complain about those people that are serving God and yet don't serve God themselves... and I am still not sure of what to do about it...

6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?

New... hmmmmm... keep right on teaching and preaching the scripture to the flock and learning to love them just like Christ loves me.

7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?

Hmmmm... I am begging the Lord to open the eyes of many people... including all of the children at the chruch as well as my sister and brother-in-law.

8. What's the most important way you will, by God's grace, try to make this year different from last year?

I pray that in God's grace that I will learn to follow Him more and more and to trust Him more and more.

Be MORE consistant...
1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

10. What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?


1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good... I have done pretty well in the first part of that verse... I work very dilligently to prove all things. I don't always do so well at holding fast that which is good. I need to grow more in that.

11. What's the most important decision you need to make this year?

Hmmmm... I am not sure. It may simply be that I need to trust God more and more... but I am not sure if that qualifies.

12. What area of your life most needs simplifying, and what's one way you could simplify in that area?

I am pretty simple already... I just do my best to avoid drama.

13. What's the most important need you feel burdened to meet this year?

To share the gospel of Christ with many people... and feed the sheep.

14. What habit would you most like to establish this year?

The exercise if patience and longsuffering to all with out getting involved in drama.

The flock that God has placed me in.
