Reflect
The journey of life is not always smooth sailing. You have had and will have times of great blessing and times of significant challenge. As you reflect on the questions below remember that God never wastes your time.
Respond
Make a list of influencers in your life--family, friends, neighbors, coaches, teachers, employers. What did you learn from your experience with these individuals?
As you reflect on your influencers and experiences, you may have recalled some difficult memories. It is easy to piece together how God used the highlights, but how can He use the hard times?
What are some of the hardest times you've experienced in your life? What are some of the best times?
How have your life
experiences shaped you into the person you are today?
Take some time to really think about these things today.
