Comment by Heather on September 24, 2009 at 6:46pm: Gary...that is SO encouraging. : )

Comment by Gary Robert Vance on September 24, 2009 at 12:59pm: For every character flaw (sin) that God enables me to drop, I know that there must be an asset to develop. For example, if I was a using jerk, when I just abstain from using I become a clean jerk. Whenever God asks me to remove a certain sin from my life, He offers me a replacement i n order to renew my mind. Praise God for the process He gives!

Comment by Heather on September 24, 2009 at 8:57am: John - thank you for bringing a word about your process. Platitudes frustrate me. Actual step by step directions are so helpful. I feel like many of our members here are trying to survive with just church people...but really, no one gets us except...well...us! Celebrate Recovery is a powerful community. Connecting with believers who rely on Jesus for their very lives makes a huge difference. This is not a "me" journey, its a "we" journey. May we all find our "people" and learn to live and love with freedom.

Comment by John R on September 24, 2009 at 8:13am: Ah yes, renewing our minds and creating a new heart. The way that I am trying to acomplish that, first I can not do it without God's help through Jesus and the Holy spirit. Where my past I saturated my life with all the negitives of this world, now I saturate my life with Prayer and the study of Gods word. I now saturate my life with all the positives I can use. I contnualy work the twelve steps and 8 principles of Celebrate Recovery. Do I do ths perfectly? No but I do forget what is behind and press on toward the prize wich is eternity with God.

Comment by Gary on September 24, 2009 at 6:29am: May God bless you all! There is No other way to real peace. The enemy continues to try and take back his hold but with Christ all things are possible even defeating satan! Thank you all for being here!

Comment by Heather on September 23, 2009 at 11:11pm: Yes...unity and fellowship...so critical for every believers walk. But there is more to this than just not drinking or using. Its about transformation of our thinking, our motives, our purpose. This not always easy. How does transformation happen for you?

Comment by Gary Robert Vance on September 23, 2009 at 7:04pm: The Lord Jesus the unity and fellowship that we need to encourage one another along the pathway of freedom. When we unite our voices in praise to Him, we think of ourselves less, and God more. I feel so blessed when I hear so many voices of exhortation that help us deal with our common problem.

Comment by John R on September 23, 2009 at 5:36pm: We are never alone, we have Jesus and all the brothers and sisters that he brings into our life. Looking forward in Christ

Comment by Heather on September 23, 2009 at 5:21pm: Hi - Heather here...I am so glad to see these posts today... It makes me feel connected and I so need that always but sometimes more than usual. Have been thinking of Gary's post all day. How does the truth that Jesus Christ has the ONLY message of recovery and delivery from the disease of addiction help us live clean and sober?

Comment by Gary Robert Vance on September 23, 2009 at 12:45pm: Jesus Christ has the ONLY message of recovery and delivery from the disease of addiction! Self-centeredness is the root of the poison tree
