I went to a CR (Celebrate Recovery) meeting last night up the street at First Christian Church because they had a special guest speaker. Her name is Bronwen Healy. She is from Australia and she has written a couple books about her testimony and what it means to "inch closer to God". She was amazing! Her story is courageous and she is not much different than the rest of us who either had or have addictions or has or had "issues".
The thing she kept saying that resonated in me was, " Your past is not your future". But I guess it can be if we choose not to respond to the call to change. I definitely don't want my past to be my future. I pray that as each one of you wake up each day that you make that decision to say what Bronwen says-"What I did, is not who I am."
Be blessed today.
What can you do for God today?

Mi Corazon Espinado, a branch of Finaltrypico™, endeavors to reach out to those people suffering with addiction, weather it be; drugs, obesity, pornography, smoking, drinking, you name it. Anything that is holding you back and keeping you from your day-to-day commitments and responsibilities is an "addiction". If you can admit that the addiction is more powerful than you, then you have a problem and you've made the first step.
Awesome perception and insight of the "CR/ Bronwen Healy" event last night. Thank you so much for the "Blog" above.
ReplyDeleteI was also there and I am very grateful today that I do remember where I came from, and it was not a good place. Although today I can rejoice in the fact that am striving to put my past behind me and NOT relive it.
