My Thoughts:

I'm definitely glad that I participated in this challenge! Answering each day's prompt helped me begin 2019 in a positive and introspective way. I learned a lot about myself and also enjoyed the challenge of looking at each day's question from a Christian perspective, not just a psychological one. Discussing my answers and hearing J's thoughts was also a fun way for us to spend time together. I would like to encourage you to at least think about your answers to some of the prompts - even if you don't enjoy analyzing yourself as much as J and I do, you might learn something about yourself + be encouraged by how far you've come.
