Group Writing Results: Reflections Of 2008

A number of bloggers responded to our Group Writing Project, “Reflections of 2008.”

Andy, over at the Narrow Road, reflects on this past year as he left the corporate world and is engaged in full-time studies. He says his vision is much clearer now “By clearing some of the trash off the path so I could more easily follow His Son.” Read his full post here.

Jennifer, who posts regularly at “Getting Down with Jesus,” is one of the High Calling Networks most insightful writers. Her year was one of anticipation for the future. She encourages us to reflect on Philippians 1, “I want to dwell on things that are true and honest, just and pure, lovely and of good report.” She writes a beautiful poem, “Whatsoever things,” that you can read here.

Jesse and Sarah, over at “God’s Not Finished With Us Yet” reflect on a year of challenge, starting college, family and trying to find meaning in a mixed up world. Read their post here.

Bradley Moore, at Shrinking the Camel, looks at 2008 as the year he found his writing voice. It started out with doubt. “I wanted to shock God by hurling doubt and sarcasm. But God wasn’t shocked. God handled it just fine. I think He actually liked the fact that I was talking to Him in a more intimate way, being brutally honest.” Read his post here.

Girl for God has had a year of termination from a job, the death of someone near to her, and frustration. She writes, “This year I have really learned what it means to be broken, and out of that I have longed and thirsted for God more.” This year, she longs to be a God-chaser, to be desperate for Him. Read her post here.

Kay Martin at Thrive Christian lost her her husband of 40 years, but has learned how to thrive in life nonetheless. Read her post..and the rest of her wonderful blog here.

Peter at Rediscovering the Church says his year has been mainly about “God dragging him back.” Read it here.
