Infiltrate

I have been asked this week how do I infiltrate my faith into humanity. Without hesitation I say through recovery and relationship. As some of you know I am currently putting together a non-profit, school has slowed down the process but school is part of the process,this is the entire reason for this ministry. Showing the love of Christ through helping those in recovery. We don't advertise or push our faith, it is a natural response to Gods love that automatically takes place. So far, we have had 5 Baptisms through our recovery meeting just this year. When we get out of the way and let God work, amazing things happen. Remember, the most spiritual thing I can do is keep my mouth shut !

Striving for More, Desire for More

I've been trying to catch up with catching up for awhile now. God is doing amazing work all around us. This is actually a blog assignment from last week and since I lead worship I will need to check with aroz to see if I am missing this weeks also--any who---A principle I am familiar with is Bigger, Better and more. Seems I wasted many years chasing it. What I have learned is to be grateful for the NOW in life. If I am so busy desiring more I miss out on the blessings here in the NOW. If I could think of an upside to desiring more it would be the drive to obtain it. As long as it's something in Gods will for us desire can be a positive thing.

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.
