Reflect & Respond
Optional Tip: Journaling your responses to the scripture and follow up questions can help you process what you're learning and see your progress towards healing over time.
Consider some of the kinds of losses Captain Nelson and his family experienced and write some of those losses down. Maybe you don’t have a physical disability like Captain Nelson, but what have you lost? Did any of these losses change how you viewed yourself? Did they change how you viewed God?
