Chrysalis 51

Wow !!!! That's about all I can say. Thank you Father for being so big and intricate I don't understand how you work. Thank you Holy Spirit for preparing the way and following through every aspect of Chrysalis 51. I was extremely blessed and I was fortunate to witness God working in the lives of 22 young men. I was joking before the weekend about how we are only able to be Lay Director one time because if asked again we would say no....How wrong I was--I would start preparing again today to see what God would do again. He is so Faithful We need to be more like Him.

What am I uniquely equipted to do.

I am responsible for my calling. God has given me a ministry to help bridge the gap between recovery and the church.

What breaks my heart

People with the ability and knowledge to stay clean and sober who chose to destroy their lives and the lives around them.

What needs can God use me to meet

God uses me to meet the needs of my family,those I sponsor in recovery and the youth we work with.

What has God put in me?

God has blessed me with many talents I try to use for His glory. The most effective I believe in recovery ministry is the ability to put the ball in others court. To relate to people in a way that's real. To guide them to let God help them help themselves.

What am I passionate about

I am passionate about seeing people recover from their addictions, To see peoples lives change through the love of Christ is awesome. In recovery one of the biggest blessings is to watch newcomers grow in sobriety.

Routine

Define Irony... Chad asked us to blog this week about disrupting our routine. His purpose is to stay fresh in ministry. Not to minister out of memory or plain routine. That was Sunday morning....today at 4:05 is the first time I have had to breathe. Monday and Tuesday where busy with Emmaus and Stop The Violence meetings along with 14 hour school schedule . Today was the first Chrysalis meeting for this year. Wednesday our washing machine overflowed, flooding the house. We had to move into a hotel while insurance fixes the house. I have not even come close to a normal schedule. Even as normally abnormal my varying schedule has been. Aside from no time to blog I think I have successfully accomplished doing something different this week !!!!
