WEEK 17
REWRITE! “I AM FREE TO BOUNCE FORWARD”!
Worship, Prayer and Sharing
Scripture
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.” JEREMIAH 29, 11-14 (NIV)
“Behold, I will extend peace to (us!) her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and trotted (lovingly bounced up and down) on her (God’s Maternal) knees. As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted…”.
When you see this, your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like green and tender grass. And the (powerful) hand of the Lord shall be revealed and known to be with His servants…” (ISAIAH 66:12-14, AMPC)

SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THIS WEEK ABOUT JESUS AND YOURSELF.
If you are in a group setting, it is unlikely that you will be able to study all the readings of each week during the group time. HOWEVER, be sure to study and absorb ALL OF THE READINGS during the week between sessions.
We invite you to slowly review everything you have read and worked on these last 17 weeks. What are the areas most personal to you? Next week, we invite you to be able to tell your complete story, from where you started to where you are now, and celebrate with each other.
