Gather The Lord be with you And also with you

Receive Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him, and he will help you; he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun. Psalm 37: 5-6  

Guidance and Resolutions Engage Guidance and Resolutions Play a guiding game—blindfold one and navigate them across the room What resolutions have you made and what or who has guided you to make them? Think about where you want to be in a year’s time… What do you need to do or give up to get there? Make a new year’s resolution about your learning and write it down Think about pitfalls—what will be tempting to you / will stop you reaching your goal? Write yourself a letter—address it to yourself and give it to your Tutor Tutors will give out the letters in a few weeks time when resolutions are forgotten or slipping so that you can remind yourself and guide yourself to keep to your resolution Map of the past the present and the future Draw a path of your life Show the significant events Draw paths which show the good choices and the less helpful choices you have made Reflect what you have learnt from your journey and your life choices… Draw the future paths you would like to take Create an image of who you want to be in a week, a month, a year, ten years, twenty years etc. What paths will you need to take to get yourself to those goals? Write guidance and resolution prayers
