Journaling-8 Questions and their subquestions I have been asking myself

Learning to ask good questions...

1. What character traits to we want our family to pursue?

2. When my kids "inconvenience" me, how do I respond?

3. Does the budget drive my ministry or ministry drive the budget? (areas of ministry-food, hospitality, giving, discipleship, etc...) Are we eating food that gives us energy and life or are we eating it simply because it is cheap/easy?

4. What things do I need to reconsider/change when being a wife, training my kids, and keeping a home? In what ways have I become complacent?

5. Do I really believe that Prayer works? Does it have the ability to change my life and those around me?

6. When I need to ask for forgiveness, do I ask whoever I offended? Or am I to proud?

7. Do I take care of myself (do my hair, change out of pjs, wash my face, try to get enough sleep) only when I am going out to run errands or have something on the calender for the next day? Do I make sure my husband and kids have a wife/mom that looks nice for sometimes only them?

8. Am I trying to live in the tension of a Grace filled life, abiding with Jesus and yet working with all I am to live well-pursuing God in all things? Am I falling to hard to one side or the other?
