Read the following quotes.
We look at the present through a rear‐view mirror. We march backwards into the future. - Marshall McLuhan
Each year, God asks us to shed one more coat of awareness, one more dream state and come alive to the vision of God’s plan for each of us and the world-at-large. - Alfred McBride
Sometimes you go through large stretches of your life, not knowing what you did things for. - Bill Mallonee, introducing his song, My Year in Review
Circle the words that stand out.
What shimmers to you?
Consider
Why is reviewing the past year important to you?
What might 2017 hold for you if you are aware of and processing the past year?
What might be the pitfalls of expecting 2017 to be a brand new year with no connection to the past?
What kind of chains might you bring into 2017 if you believe it to simply hold more of the same of 2016?
We’ve looked at quotes each week that captures an aspect of the MYIR process. Could you write a single sentence similar to the Bill Mallonee quote above that expresses what MYIR is about?
