Yesterday I attended a Celebrate Recovery seminar. Amazing. All of the things we've been trying to do in our Christian Recovery group suddenly became easier! There is a plan in place for forming a successful program, and now we know what it is!
It was a wonderful experience to hear from the man who actually wrote the books we've been using in our group. To know that his intent and his heart are so closely alligned with what the leaders of our little group have been feeling is a gift I didn't expect to receive. It's a comfort to know that there are tens of thousands of people who are on this road of Christian Recovery. I can't think of better company.
I was so grateful that the men's group leader reminded me of the seminar, and that God planned my calendar so that I could attend. We heard clearly some things that our group has been doing that could cause it to fail. Since we got the information at the same time, it will be easier to explain to our groups why we need to make some changes. But it's such a blessing to find a ministry in place with 18 years of experience in this field. A recurring lesson in my life has been that when I think I am the alone and terminally unique, I find that I am not! Hallelujah and pass the Diet Coke!
