Notes: (copy)
Experiences of unexpected joy, strength and comfort are signs of God’s presence in our lives. When we look back on our lives, we can begin to see how our experiences tell stories, and that these stories form a pattern. It is in this pattern that we will come to know God.

10. Unit 2 Project - Day 2
Today we will work on our final, or 'good copy' of the letter.
Feel free to use your technology and we have Bibles in the classroom, that may help you.
Because we don't have any laptops, feel free to send your letter to me from your personal device. Send to:
Of course you can still write your good copy in your own handwriting!

11. Alone? Hand in your letter project, with the rubric/assignment sheet.
Let’s review the note you copied…
Describe a time when you felt lost, alone, afraid, worried, etc. Write about it in your notebook.

12. Note (copy)
The experiences of feeling lost, alone, confused, worried etc. remind us that, as humans, we are limited. We cannot control or understand everything that happens to us. Because of this, we rightly turn to God for answers.
