Finishing the Test: Option #1

Okay - you can write this to me if you'd rather - but really, the goal was to do this for the LORD, so it might be kind of fun to try to write this to Him (like you did the first time). Whichever way you choose, just try to be honest! Here are some things you might want to consider sharing with Him...you don't have to answer them all, but they're good subjects to think about:

A. How'd it go? What did you end up doing/trying?

B. Did things go the way you planned? Better? Worse? The same? Did God change your plan at all? Explain.

C. Do you think this had any positive outcomes at all? Any negative outcomes?

D. Will you keep trying to do this now that the test is over? Why or why not?

E. What would you try differently if you were going to do this test over? Why?

F. What do you think you really learned from doing/trying this? Are you glad you gave this a try? Why? Why not?

G. It's hard to know what is in our hearts, but as well as you can, what was your "heart" response before, during, and/or after you tried something? Explain. (possible attitudes/experiences of the heart can include dishonest, grateful, angry, frustrated, joyful, kind, humbled, fearful, worried, confident, believing, etc.)

H. You can write this part to me...would you recommend this type of test in the future? Why or why not? Are there any dangers or drawbacks in giving a "test" like this? What was "good" about this type of test? What could be "better?"

What To Do Today...

Many of you may wonder: "what do I do today if I already have written my letter to God?"

Below is some guidelines for today's class time:

1. Pray - Pray for your "test". Pray for the people involved. Pray for boldness. You also might want to "add" to your test. 

2. Read through the other plans that students are doing. Pray for them, write a note of encouragement to them in the comments.

3. When you are done: NO TALKING. Respect others that are working. Read your Book in Hand. Read the Bible.
