Revelation 21:4

Even in the midst of traumatic times, and feeling like all Hope is lost we must hold on to our faith. if this is your case ...this Verse should scream out to You, because it gives us Hope for the future.
Times may be rough and tough, but God is always there to help us go on

Revelations 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.

The One You Feed"

One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, greed, and arrogance. The other is Good - It is peace, love, hope, humility, compassion, and faith."
The grandson th...ought about this for a while and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
To which the old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed.

"Happy New Year"

“New Years Resolution”

Be careful what you Promise, or Resolve for the New Year! In the Book of James we are warned to let our Yes's be Yes and our No's, to be No! Sometimes Satan can use broken Promises made to ourselves or others to get us to feel guilty, to get us to revert to old bad habits, or get us depressed. Pray, Seek God's will, and Say God willing I will ???? God Bless!

Merry Christmas

Make sure to spend time with your family, "if they are safe". If your family isn't safe for you, don't be alone. Spend time with your church and CR family if at all possible. Remember you have accountability partners, check on each other this week since we will not be meeting. Make the choice to celebrate Christ's birth with others that love Him!



Merry Merry Christmas Lanetta

Choose To Be Happy

It's never too late to let yourself be happy. Be sad when you must. Grieve when you must. But don't be sad just because others expect it of you. Take charge of your own happiness. We are all entitled to be happy. Seek light instead of shadows. Treasure your happiness. Share it.
"We don't remember days or years, we remember moments".

Do You Have A Safe Place

I was sitting in a room with men and women. They were talking about Celebrate Recovery and what it meant to them. They shared their story so freely as if they were singing their favorite song,.. in the car(lol). Lanetta begin to go over the 8 principles, once she finished, she said, " This is a safe place to share your experience's."At that moment, the room began to get so loud,...so I think,..I'm not really sure because my heart was beating so fast until I thought everyone could hear it. And then she said, "You're safe here." My eye's started to fill with tears.In my head I thought, SAFE,  my God!, how in the world could a simple word, safe, bring on tears in front of folks I didn't know. And then I was like,...can they see the tears? Then I was like, Oh my God, can they see me? Can they see the hurt, the rage,...and then I wanted out of there. People think Celebrate Recovery is just about alcohol and drugs, of course it is, but not entirely. CR is about confronting your past hurts, habits and hangups. It's about physical, sexual and emotional abuse. It's about abandonment and anger issue's. It's about letting God free you and heal you. It's about being in a "safe" environment, with people who understand how you feel with no condemnation. I have a safe place now,...Psalm 27.

My Conversation With Lanetta

                                                                          First,...Thank God!

                                         Greetings Sister's with Love and Peace.

I called Lanetta last night to tell her something, instead she ending up feeding me. I had no idea that I was hungry. I felt like a deer in headlights. She fed me with her knowledge and understanding of Celebrate Recovery. She expressed her love and gratitude for CR, as well as her longing for everyone to be healed and free. I had no choice but to be quiet and listen. Even as I type this now, her conversation is still lingering within my spirit,....WOW. I can truly see and understand why she is our leader. Thank you Lanetta and God Bless You.
