Numbers 21:1-3
•When I lose someone I counted on, sometimes I need to step up, like Eleazar. When faced with grief
or change, I have:

Lashed out based on my feelings instead of living by Truth.
Stepped up to responsibilities. I honor the person I lost by living out what I learned from

the time comes, and learn from my leaders while I can.
• Have I ever been attacked for going a new direction that God wanted me to go? Yes
• It was:
Numbers 21:4-5
