Time To Make A Choice

Are you a procrastinator? Do you tend to sit on the fence, unable to make a decision on the way to go? What about with your life and who runs it? If you are like me, you may have trouble from day to day deciding who will be God in your life, ourself or Christ. I love Elijah's words to the people of Israel "And Elijah came near to all the people and said, 'How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' But the people did not answer him a word." 1Kings 18:21. Talk about being indecisive, or uncommitted, huh. For so long of my life, I hung out in that neutral zone of life, not willing to commit to either way in my life. I tried to "behave" so as to not get too close to the junk, but I wasn't committing to Him in my life. Result: emptiness, lifeless, and unfulfilled. I need more than a good behavior, I need a relationship with Him. Today, I choose to get off of the fence and run to Him. And then tomorrow, I will have to do it all over again cause in my flesh, the tempting, easy way is to just to sit where I am and not ruffle the waters too much. Every day is a choice for me to follow Him and make Him God in my life or me try to play god in my life. Is Rodney god in my own life or is God ruler and THE Higher power in my life? With Him in my life, I have true life. I have to "be" before I can "do". If you would like more information about Celebrate Recovery contact Rodney at 479-659-3679 or roholmstrom@fellowshipnwa.org

    Sistemin işleyişi aslında basittir. Aradığınız kelime veya site yasaklı olmayan bir ülke üzerinden aranmakta ve sistem sizi o ülkede görmektedir.

12 Days Of CR Christmas

Image
One of our great leader Monica rewrote the lyrics to this old Christmas song to tie into the 12 steps. We had a lot of fun singing it and love that it keeps the focus on the 12 steps thru Christmas. Great job Monica! On the first day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the notion it’s not about me; On the second day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the third day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the will to be faithful, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the fourth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, my inventory, will to be faithful, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me. On the fifth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, the chance to come clean! my Inventory, faithfulness, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me On the sixth day of Christmas, my Savior gave to me, desire to be humble, the chance to come clean! my Inventory, faithfulness, my sanity, and the notion it’s not about me.

Why do we introduce ourselves?

One of the things that might confuse a newcomer coming into this great ministry is the way we introduce our self and do so every time we meet in a Step Group and/or Open discussion group. The question that often comes up is; “Why in the world would we have to introduce our self every time we come together? I mean, we all know each other don’t we? We all know what the other is struggling with right? So why should I have to state my main issue I am dealing with? These are all logical questions and I think the below content from Tina at Saddleback might help shed some light on this. As you may already know, in our small groups we ask our Leaders to introduce themselves with this statement: “Hi my name is _______; I am a believer who struggles with________.” We ask our leaders to keep it short; to stick to one or two primary areas of recovery. We ask them not to state a host of recovery issues and character defects, etc… especially because we do not run recovery specific groups for cha

Verbal Reality--Why you can't believe an addict and what you can do as a co-dependent

I recently came across the below article when websurfing for information about verbal reality, a concept a friend introduced me to last year during a time I was trying to figure out is someone was telling me the truth or not. The below article is specifically for Porn addiction, and comes from a very good website, but I've found it true with all addictive behaviors. If you've never heard of Verbal Reality, and you question whether or not your spouse is being honest, this is a good way to help you sort it out, and a great tool for your recovery. ______ Consider This. (from http://www.pornaddicthubby.com/Help-For-The-Addict.html) Addicts of any kind live in a "verbal reality." This means if they say it, it is true and if they say it passionately enough even they believe it is really true. Men who have an addiction to porn live in a verbal reality. A sex addict believes what he is saying while he is saying it. Your most helpful tool in dealing with verbal reality is look
