Best questions I’ve asked this year
Yesterday at SWAT (our all-staff meeting) I was so inspired by some things that Mark Beeson said that I was compelled to write this post. (None of this is stuff he said, but it’s where my mind went as he was helping us understand the difference between “Purposes” and “Values”.)
These are some of the questions I’ve been asking myself over the course of this school year. I hope they serve you well.
- What am I truly convinced about? (Sometimes I think I know more than I do.)
- How rigorously do I check out whatever I put my trust in, whether fact or system or teaching? (One of my biggest pet peeves is watching people put their trust in things they’ve never “checked out” or taking the time to see if they’re even trustworthy.)
- How openly do I base my actions on my convictions? (Do I LIVE, what I BELIEVE!)
- How ready am I to change them if the evidence moves against me? (Do I provide space for GOD or VISION to change my mind.)
I’ve heard these questions in various forms throughout my life and for some reason they all popped up this semester and have been challenging me. These questions help me stay clear on my vision, my direction, and what God’s called me to.
