Worksheet
"TELLING MY STORY - MUST AND SHOULD - REWRITE"
A "WORKSHEET" is simply a way for you to look squarely at yourself and see where you are. Like a GPS system in your car or in your phone, you have to know where you're at, honestly, clearly and completely.
At the beginning of these worksheets, take time to pause and quiet yourself. This is a great time for reflection as to how to care for yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit for inspiration and insight as you work through this worksheet.
Worksheets can be printed so you can reflect on them later, or perhaps your device has the ability to make notes right on the Worksheet page, then you can save the Worksheet in your device for later review.
This Worksheet is almost a duplicate of the similar Worksheet from last week. However, this week we are asking you to identify the events and memories that fashioned the loss or gain of your human core needs. Understanding these connections will deepen your understanding of your personal story.
After each of the following three sections, complete this sentence: These beliefs reflects the loss of the following human core need(s) in my life: _____________________. These beliefs are based on the following experiences and events in my life:_____________________.

PROMISES ..... short Scriptures to build you up and give you hope!
"They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty ... declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 31, NIV)
