Reflections as Seasons Change
In working with our high school Huddle the past two years, they are about to move into being upperclassmen. And they aren't getting rid of us!! But as their season shifts, as they change from being high school newbies to more confident, passionate students, it's such a good time to STOP. Think. Challenge themselves.
Who are they?
Who do they want to be?
Allyson put together some fantastic questions to use for this purpose and this time of reflection. But the thing is -- it's not just for our high schoolers. These are questions for ME too.
Who am I?
Who do I want to be?
As seasons change, as I grow older, get married, have kids, dig into passions, make lifelong friends, lose friends, have side-jobs, have crazy schedules, feel drawn to the silence and calm, I want to be a little more intentional. I want to ponder visionary questions. I want to be full of gratitude. I want to see where I can improve and where I've fallen short. I want to be someone who actively thinks through life.
And these questions can help.
Sidnote: Blu answered these questions and I was humbled and SO proud when I read his answers with his permission. Makes me want to reflect more often -- both of us!
On a similar note, the following blog post is by muh giiiirl, Sarah Brooks. She just wrote and published thoughts on intentional questions to ask our teenagers regarding social media.
Our teens have the opportunity to change the world, one post at a time. What if we challenged them do to so?

God, help me to stop and reflect more often. Not just around January 1st of each year.
