Part Two: Notice and Name Your Ongoing Growth Areas

Organic Human Awareness

I am an organic human created by God. I am an embodied soul with spiritual and physical life before God.

Because I am an organic human, my inward words, body, emotions, habits, posture, tone, timing, and relational choices are connected.

Where do I need to keep noticing my whole-person life before God?

Examples: fatigue, stress, hurry, sleep, health, schedule, body tension, phone use, lack of quiet, isolation.

What spiritual or inward patterns affect my relationships?

Examples: fear, shame, pride, resentment, approval-seeking, prayerlessness, discouragement, comparison.

A gracious self-conversation sentence I can practice before God is:

Examples:

“I can be present without performing.”

“I can listen before defending.”

“I can be corrected without being destroyed.”

“I can set a boundary without becoming cold.”

“I can return to the Peacefire.”

“I can love with agape love and leave the outcome to God.”
