Week 6: Chapter 5 — I'm the Girl Who Knows Better

1.Lysa describes herself as "the girl who knows better" — she has read the books, she knows the Scriptures, she teaches the truth, and she still reacts to rejection in ways that embarrass her. Do you identify with that gap between knowing and doing? Give a specific example.
