1st - Understand the big picture (how these fit into it and what not to forget):
- To pursue a full life. This means finding the right balance between a sense of purpose, the right fit, a mix of fun (adventure) and the pursuit of destiny.
- Too much, too long leads to overload. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you have to be heads down all the time, that you sacrifice your life just to have a career.
- To know that our job should be a means that enable those things we need for our family and for the adventure that God wants us to have (more on this in the weeks to come).
2nd - Ask the "Big Hairy Questions" (BHQs):
Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?
And know that these three questions could be viewed as 'trick questions'. I say this because if you are a single man, working to get on track - you may have one set of answers. If you are a married man and working to provide for your family - you may have another set of answers. If your kids are grown and out on their own (and you are wondering what is next?) - you may have yet another set of answers.
Oh, and BTW for the BHQs stated above - what scripture has to say for those. . .
1st, I am a Man created by God.
2nd, I am a Man commissioned by God.
3rd, I am a Man who will be ultimately judged by God.
The above is just an example of the good info shared and discussed. Let us know if you have any questions on the above or provide comments to this blog and we will respond as needed.
We close on the session 2 summary points with this reminder:
To have the courage and the perseverance to do well as we age.
Why? “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (Second Corinthians 5:10)
