Scripture

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.  Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the One Who will keep you on-track.  Don't assume that you know it all.  Run to God!  Run from Evil!  Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life..."  (Proverbs 3, The Message)


Goals for Week Three

* Comparing the voices of the Holy Spirit, yourself and others.
* Continuing the process of "Telling My Story" by moving forward from the awareness of “Telling My Story - I Felt" to “Telling My Story - I Lost”
