. . . Some questions to think about. Maybe you could share them with your partner or friend and hear their answers as well. Go slow. Don’t do them all at once.<\/p>\n

Can you remember a time as a child (@6-12yrs.) that God seemed close to you? Where were you? How did it feel?<\/p>\n

  12. What is “a grace”?<\/li>\n
  13. What do you think children need to know to become who they were meant to be?<\/li>\n
  14. Tears are most times a sign of love. What would move you to tears?<\/li>\n
  15. What does the current bickering in Washington, almost monthly acts of senseless violence, natural disasters around the world do to your faith?<\/li>\n
  16. Jesus tells us, to be his disciples we will experience the cross. What cross (suffering) do you carry in union with Him?<\/li>\n
  17. “Life is more __________ than I thought it would be.” (What word (s) would you use to reflect your thought? . . . . Hard, happy, boring, full, empty, scary, wonderful, funny, mysterious, etc.)<\/li>\n
  18. Looking back, do you wish you could change any thing?<\/li>\n
  19. Looking forward, do you wish to change anything?<\/li>\n
  20. What has happened in your life that you would NEVER change?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    . . . Just some questions to think about and maybe share with someone? ( bet you bump into some God Stuff you didn’t realize was there).<\/p>\n

    God’s going to get you. But you’ve got to let Him.<\/p>\n
