I just wanted to answer the questions you pos...Hi,<br /><br />I just wanted to answer the questions you posed about how we are living life and examining it. <br /><br />I tend to live life more fully when I surrender my time to the needs and preferences of Him and people. When my focus is on helping and serving others I find myself more actively living out my life. Otherwise I tend to isolate myself, play out my "life" in mental games and resist engaging or moving towards others. When I find myself retreating, I need to look around and see the ones he sends my way and accept that as my way to remain engaged! (For instance, this past week, my sick four year old was home all week from kindergarten!)<br /><br />One of the ways that I enjoy examining my life is in the context of small groups. I like preparing for a group study time by answering reflective questions brought out from the text. I really like to share with others what I am learning even if it is in an area of struggle. It is refreshing to me to examine my life and share that with others. <br /><br />I also often reflect whenever I am writing whether it be an email, blog post or in journal form. (It takes me forever to write an email because I contemplate for way too long!!) I like to keep a current, accurate record of my spirit. and emotional life - a state of the union of my life so to speak- and share that with anyone and everyone.<br /><br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596655893973384537.post-29722817859328836202009-11-16T10:28:59.377-07:002009-11-16T10:28:59.377-07:00you did ask a question for this weeks blog, whcih ...you did ask a question for this weeks blog, whcih i failed to process. It's a very good question and I would encourage anyone who is reading your blog to take a minute to "reflect" on "reflecting". <br />Have you ever felt like a spectator to your own life? How can you live it more fully? Tell us how you examine your life. How frequently do you take time to reflect? Where do you go to do this? (this was your query)<br />Outside if at all possible. I have a lovely patio and love to sit where I can see the garden portion. Reflecting? I've been doing an extra amount of this lately- just journaled about it this morning. I'm feeling quite the hermit in the desert (though I'm not in the cave all the time, I get back to it as fast as I can). But the interactions I do have with people seem to be extraordinarily rich. I think I'm getting a pause from compulsive busyiness (even though there are days I'm extrememly busy!) for something wonderful to "incubate" - an innner transformation that will eventually be lived out in community. Gotta come out of the cave sometime!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596655893973384537.post-68704674632456639182009-11-13T10:52:24.763-07:002009-11-13T10:52:24.763-07:00Got one!Got one!Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494673344776859621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596655893973384537.post-29083008904825507172009-11-12T13:02:02.842-07:002009-11-12T13:02:02.842-07:00Stay tuned for more details as the weeks progress....Stay tuned for more details as the weeks progress. For now, just think of a life experience you might choose and put it to writing. Each week, we'll go over ways to fine-tune those until the time is right to post them. You might even change your mind and end up with a whole different experience to share than what you started with. It is a work in progress for now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052204770372010324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596655893973384537.post-76766783660716573082009-11-11T15:29:24.056-07:002009-11-11T15:29:24.056-07:00so, how are we supposed to do this?
