I love a new year.  What better time is there to regroup, learn and make changes that are needed?  I’ve never been huge on resolutions but I am a believer in growth and listening to God. Here are some of the questions I use to evaluate my life every year between Christmas and the New Year.  By the way, this can be done anytime you feel the need.

• Are there any patterns that have been recurring?
• What seems to be the main theme of what God has been teaching me?
• What lessons have I learned?
• Am I starting the year clean?  Anything God wants me to confess?
• What  is on God’s heart for me?  What burden has he given me?
• How am I going to live out his purpose for me?

These are some of the questions I journal.  Can you add any others to this list?
