Wherever we are, we are never farther than God’s reach. His love for us is unconditional and there is nothing we can do to change that. He is there for us and He is always listening to us. Yes, even you. You are a child of God. ... #CR #CelebrateRecovery #His [email protected]

There are moments in a 12-step recovery program where you have to trust the process... especially the inventory part (can we get an amen?!?!)! However, millions of people have found Christ’s freedom by going through the steps found in the Celebrate Recovery program. If you find yourself fearful or resistant to parts of the process, you are not alone. Get with your sponsor or an accountability partner asap to talk through what is holding you back. ... We are praying for your courage to keep going! To learn more email us at [email protected] or join us on Thursday nights at 6 PM 33 W Alpine Ave., Stockton

Today, we pause to honor persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces. On behalf of our entire forever family, we appreciate the sacrifices you made to keep us safe. Each day around 500 women and men of every race sign up to protect our freedoms by serving in the military. We are showing appreciation to our future veterans as well! You are all truly our heroes. If you suffer from PTSD, please reach out. You are worth it!

There are some people that would argue recovery is impossible without these two. However, the big difference is that Jesus can be found at EVERY Celebrate Recovery ministry, and coffee at only most of them. In true CR fashion, there is an acrostic for recovery coffee:... Christ Offers Forgiveness For Everyone Everywhere If you’re up for it, have a cup of coffee today and meditate on what Christ has done for you!

A healthy recovery is one that is careful to never think you can do it on your own. We need God’s help. A perspective to keep us humble is knowing that we have signed up for something that is bigger than us. God uses different people in order to reach Newcomers like us. That is a reason to chose to find different methods to stay connected to your CR family... whether it's CRCR zoom Large Group meetings or regular face to face meetings. ... So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, but live honorably with true wisdom, for we are living in evil times. Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes. Ephesians 5:15-16 #CR #CelebrateRecovery #Careful #Humble
