Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. Rest is important to maintaining balance in our recovery. We live in an action-oriented world. There always seems to be something to do, someone […]
Isaiah 58:11 I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places– firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well- watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. This week at Celebrate Recovery on Thursday we are […]
Jeremiah 32:18-19 You are loyal and kind to thousands of people, but you also bring punishment to children for their fathers’ sins. Great and powerful God, your name is the LORD All-Powerful. 1You plan and do great things. You see everything that people do. You give a reward to those […]
