I've learned many things as I've walked this path of recovery, but the lessons that stand out most are those I learned during moments that tested my faith and demanded much from my soul.
Oh, the Burdens We Carry
It's one thing to own your mistakes. It's quite another to allow them to define you. To continue to carry them long after the lessons have been learned.
In Unity with Christ
What does unity mean? More importantly, what does unity with Christ mean?
Patiently, Lovingly, He waits
In the darkness of addiction and anorexia, I suffered endlessly, forgetting that all along, God was just waiting for me to call His name.
Your Grace is Enough
That's the nature of recovery. It isn't linear. It's bumpy and rough and a fight every step of the way.
BOTTOM IS A BEGINNING TOO
It doesn't take courage to hit bottom. No, that's an entirely different set of circumstances. But it does take courage to climb your way back up. To acknowledge and believe that strength exists within you. That's what courage is after all. It's digging deep. It's pulling yourself up after the fall. It's moving into the light when it would be so much easier to just give up and sink below the darkness.
