What is something you know now about yourself or about God that you wish you knew earlier in life? Why? What are the external standards you are trying to live up to and what are they doing to your heart and mind? What choice do you think God is presenting you? How are you going to respond? Why?

How serious are you about the vow you have made to God? Semi? Or totally?

Is your voice encouraging people towards faith?

What things have you seen God do?

What have you learned about yourself this year?

Who have been people who have helped you along the way?

What new thing can you do to become more thankful?

What god of this culture are you most likely to follow? In what ways have you been syncretistic? Is there anything that you need to ruthlessly remove from your life?
