Recover from the wreckage of our co-dependent behaviors, disabilities, mismanagement of a life change, addictions, or from the fallout of another’s actions.
Mark 8: 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
"And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.Isaiah 58:11
We are only as "sick as our secrets" recovery can only happen in the light that brings out the ugly truth, it is the same light of HIS forgiving love that will cleanse and free us.
Ever wonder why you have so much "DRAMA" or misfortune in your life? See Ephesians 3:20 and
Concentrate on the first sentence..."The will of God will never take you where the
Grace of God will not protect you." So whose will for your life did you choose to live?
God allows U-turns. "He is faithful and just to those who love and obey Him". "All things work together for good for those who love Him" It always works out in the end, so if it hasn't worked out yet, then it isn't the end. Keep the faith and "always try" to stay true to what is right!
If you find yourself distant from God…ask yourself… who walked away?
Satan is a MASTER of deception and he seeks to find who he can devour…he is a predator…and he works through our weaknesses and that of others(who are your friends, spouse or family member) to destroy. Let me help you spot your predator…and get out of your hopelessness…and lead an abundant life of peace, joy and hope. Step out of the bondage that keeps you down and allow Jesus to lift you up! Scripture is a guide an "Owners" manual sort of speaking to lead you to the life of peace and joy he has set for his children.

RECOVERY, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Lets break it down:
Recovery defined by Webster’s Dictionary : is the “process†of combating a “disorder†of a real or “perceived†problem
>"Process": an action that is marked by gradual changes that lead to a particular result.
>"Disorder": the disruption of regular or normal functions
>"Perceived": as you regard as such, as you believe.
Recovery is NOT about “getting over†something, nor attaining instant reprieve from our current situation. After all, we do live a life of consequences, whether from our own choices or the aftershocks of another person’s actions, or inaction.
Recovery IS about accepting our life as it is, where it is and choosing to be responsible for where we want it to go. The beginning of accountable for our actions that affect us, and everyone around us on that journey.
Being in recovery IS the Serenity Prayer in action. When we refuse to stay victims of the maddening chaos our various situations led us to, be it self-made or from someone close us. In that acknowledgment, we learn to live victoriously in the life circumstances that are beyond our control as well as choosing to change or leave behind the destructive behaviors that have left us powerless.
In that, Recovery meets us where we are at with acceptance, peace and joy in knowing nothing is hopeless in Jesus Christ. That through him and the support of friends, family and sponsors we can do all things in Christ who strengths us. Phil 4:13
This is not about pink pretty roses and or bad ass bikes, this is about the good, the bad and the ugly of the truth.******************If you cannot, oh wait you can, so let’s rephrase this, if you DO NOT WANT to hear the truth, learn the facts about recovery and your responsibility in it...click out now, and read no further. Now, if you want a better life, freedom from the bondage that keeps you in dysfunction and misery and have a desire to radically accept or recover from whatever ails you here is H.O.W. to get started.
HONESTY
OPENNESS
WILLINGNESS
You Can enjoy a healthy and happy quality of life in the mists of accepting or healing from a Chronic Illness, Addictions, Fibromyalgia, Domestic Violence, Abuse, Divorce, Depression, Bi-polar disorder and anything that disrupts your quality of life; when you CHOOSE to reclaim and WORK at it. Stop allowing your life circumstances control you...take hold and control the circumstances or at least your negative reactions to it.
YOU CANNOT SAVE YOUR ASS AND YOUR FACE AT THE SAME TIME. Sometimes in recovery when you take an honest look at yourself and begin your personal inventory it can be embarrassing and you want to hide from it..that can lead to relapse. Discovering you're an asshole or a bitch means change must happen within yourself first..many find it easier to relapse than face that fact. Accept it, work to change and forge ahead in your recovery process..many have been there before you.
WE ALL are recovering from something addictions, broken hearts, career changes, chronic illnesses (physical and mental), divorce, depression, and so many more. But we are not lost and broken for long, which is why they call it recovery. Don’t wallow in feeling you are "damaged" good as I heard once...That is a lie from Satan to keep you in the despair of hopelessness.
Know that THE DEVIL IS A PIMP, so don't be his ho... By minister RMB. Don’t sell yourself short from his LIES, LIES and more LIES...It is all smoke and mirrors, the great deception. Do not give in to the devil. Denial of our faults and weaknesses is not difficult to accept and work on, when we know, God loves us...even when everyone else thinks were an asshole.
Denial is a LIE.
The focus will be to help in creating healthier lives and relationships. I believe that healthy relationships are the center of a happy and successful life in addition to building stronger communities.
Recovery is personal, therefore take from here and apply what is best for your life and recovery, using your personal needs and beliefs as your guidelines. I work diligently to provide referrals and resources objectively on this site. However, I will not compromise my Christian values personal desire to do the right thing, although I may not succeed at time, and what I know is the truth.
People are placed in our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime, it is painful to break away sometimes, especially when it is someone we love, but remember and find strength in the fact that every winter is followed by a spring.
There is no need to continually punish yourself with shame and guilt when you are forgiven. That is a deception from Satan to keep you down. Believing in that, will absolutely make you an ineffective wounded warrior for Christ, and lead you to relapse.God always extends his Grace and Mercy to anyone, anywhere, no matter how lost or deep in trouble they may feel. In asking for his forgiveness, guidance and strength to hold us up, we can start anew with His light on our path.
God allows U-turns.
Being a Christian does not mean you will be free from tribulation, after all we live in a world of free choice and consequences. What is does mean is, while in those trials, tribulation and consequences of this world we may go through them in the peace, joy and hope of Jesus Christ.
I would rather live like there is a heaven
and find out there is no heaven,
then to live like there is no heaven
only to find out there is.
â€I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God s business. “ Michael J. Fox
"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:5 (NKJ)
Psalms 90:14 satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. 15 Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. 16 Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.17 And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
1 Thessalonian 4:11--which is to have a quiet and peaceful life working with your hands to provide for yourself and give to others.What will you gain if you own the whole world, but destroy yourself or waste your life? Luke 9:25"
