lessons in inspiration / 06

In teacher world we live, eat, and breathe questions. If I’m not asking a question, I’m answering a question, or discussing a question or formulating a question. But one of the most important set of questions are those asked by students, not to students.

The same is true for all of us. Asking questions guides us to new ideas, gives us a fresh perspective, and challenges our thinking. Friends, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Question everything with no restraint!

Your assignment: ask questions. Ask questions of yourself and of the world. Ask friends for advice. Ask yourself what you’re really passionate about. Ask someone to be your mentor. Ask that hard question that you’ve been avoiding.

Never stop asking questions, for when we stop asking questions, it’s almost as if we’ve stopped caring.

 

At the end of the day, the questions we ask of ourselves determine the type of people that we will become.      

-Leo Babauta

In the spirit of building community and being honest, here are some of the questions I’m currently asking myself:
- What would I do differently now if I knew nobody would judge me?
- Where am I putting my trust?
- Where am I putting my hope?
- Where will I be a year from now?
- Am I showing Christ’s love to those around me? All the time?
- Do my students see Jesus in me?
- Why not now?
- Have I been the kind of friend I want as a friend?
- How am I growing as a woman of the Lord?
- What are the areas in my life I need Jesus to free me from?

 

Let us know where your questioning journey leads you. Until next time, class dismissed.
