2010 Challenge from Marsha's Musings

I joined in the 2010 Challenge at Marsha's Musings and here are my answers


1.What’s one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?

I would say I could take the time to enjoy his love and all he gives us. All to often I get quickly overwhelmed with lifes problems and do not take the time to realize what is going on around me.

2.What’s the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?

I really do not know how to answer this. I would say that it would be to work with my younger brothers heart where he would be the father I know he can be and the husband that his wife deserves.

3.What’s the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?

spend time with them, start and exercise routine for the full family

4.In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?

Prayer, my prayer life is not as strong as it once was, while it is still very present in my life I find myself trying to fix things, worrying about things rather than taking them to my father in prayer

5.What is the single biggest time waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?

This is a two fold answer because it is both good and bad but I spend too much time worrying about members of my family that do not want to change and I need to step back and allow them to find their own answers in life and focus on my own personal life, my children, friends and what I can do to help others that want the help

6.What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?

Our church has seen many changes and I believe we need to pray for those that lead us, our youth and that the Lord will show us what we can do

7.For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?

There are many but I would say the closest is my younger brother and his family

8.What’s the most important way you will, by God’s grace, try to make this year different from last year?

as I said earlier my time will be spent differently

9.What one thing could you do to improve your prayer life this year?

take the time to pray is often the problem, I believe in taking everything to him and being in constant prayer but have not been living exactly that way.

10.What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?

Focusing time on the young ones in the church, my family and my self in the area of health.
