This Week’s Assignment:
Read the Introduction and Chapter 1
After you have completed your homework, feel free to comment below to jump into the conversation:
Introduction Discussion Questions: “Do you know where you’ve been?”
Did your life change when autism (or another special need) entered your life? If it did, how? Did your friendships change? Your job situation or marriage?
Is there any part of the Introduction story that you can specifically relate to?
Do you feel pressured by those around you to be “perfect?” If so, how?
Chapter 1 Discussion Questions: “Living a Promised-Based Life”
Read the Scripture from Isaiah 43:
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
— NIV 1984
Do those Words speak to you? They certainly did to me! What words or phrases in this scripture stand out to you, and why?
After finishing the assignment, please complete the online journal below. I read each submission and would love to hear what you have discovered!
