I love this practice, Bailey, and it was so nice to connect with you through this window into your 2025 Year-End Examen! I'm going to ponder on these questions too as we head to the end of the year 🫶🏻
Thanks for reading, Bethany! I love reading everyone's reflections this time of year, even though we're still very much in the midst of Advent. It's always good to look back as we walk forward. <3
I’m so glad this connected with you. Three cheers for hot cocoa!! ☕️ (I also discovered the joy that is adding a packet of peppermint herbal tea to my mug, which makes it taste just like a coffee house peppermint cocoa. Mmm.)
This is my favourite practice as we end one year and move into another. It's exciting, and humbling, to look back and reflect on God's faithfulness through the year.
It’s so fun to read about all the things I have gotten to walk beside you in this year! I love you, spending this year with you and I’m excited for what 2026 holds for us!
Thanks, Emily! It is simple, and for those of us who are naturally reflective people, we may already think about these sorts of questions throughout the month. But I appreciate how it challenges me toward noticing the good and the light when it’s easy to focus on only the hard. Also - my husband just got accepted to Fuller! Do you attend in person?

Thanks for sharing! It was an encouraging read. All those answered prayers 🥳
I also loved nighttime homemade hot cocoa this year. God’s faithfulness in the mundane also resonated so much. Consistency, Yes!

Excellent read! Good questions and great answers (if you solve the banana issue..please share😊)

Yes it is! I hope you have a meaningful final few days of December. ❤️

Thank you, love. It’s been sweet to walk with you through all this. ❤️
This practice is such a great tool. I’m working through something similar with my spiritual director tomorrow!

I am in the MTS program fully online!
I love a good list of questions! Happy New Year!
This is inspiring! I may steal these questions for myself. :)
No stealing needed! I fully offer them to you (since I’m the one who first stole them from the generous Tanner Olson). 💛
haha thanks! :)
