Few questions I have asked recently:
When do you feel most alive? How do you view success? What keeps you going? Who do you spend your time with? What do you do when the world around you stops making sense? What kind of legacy do you plan to leave behind? Who do you invest in and who invests in you?
Today I really enjoyed the opportunities to share food, stories, questions, doubts and hopes with friends. Kind things were spoken to me, which was very encouraging, as I don't tend to very easily share of my dreams and hopes and plans, as I'm never quite sure how they would be received and if I'm just being ridiculous and setting myself up to another failure. I should really learn though, as these are things where I will need support and company of those whom I love and who love me back. :)

Also, spoke today with someone who questions Christianity a lot and obviously is not quite convinced by the people in our community having and sharing faith and praying etc. It was really refreshing and I thought they were cool and I would love to talk with them more, so please God provide opportunities and apologetics is like one of my favourite things and I just feel so alive when discussing about matters of faith and life.
Every now and then Relevant Magazine comes up with an amazing article, and this one
"50 ideas that changed everything (in the last 8 years)" was definitely one of those.
Kind of out of those 50 ideas at least 35 I was able to recognise and relate
and they pretty well described

much of the worldview I have and the faith I try to live out.

As in Swedish we would toast: "Skål!" to 2011 and next eight years
