Reiteration

I'm back here again, wondering again how I wandered in a circle. Is my life really this patterned? Could I cram it into a regular expression and predict my emotional state next month, next fall, next stage of life? I don't want to loop between a finite number of states in neat patterns, tracing and retracing predetermined paths. I want to move forward, grow deeper, stretch skyward, become more than I am now. I don't want to live like a finite automaton, I want to live like a child of God.

i think you should write down a list of all the things you've learned this year that you did not know last year, and all the major decisions you made this year. we can call these the "FACTS" - then, write down your impression of these facts (sorta like an interpretation). And then apply. See, scripture track was really helpful.
