The moon does not generate its own light. However, the sun’s reflection off the moon at night can provide enough light for us to see in the dark. Jesus is the ...light of the world. He pierces darkness with His presence. While we may not be the origination of light like He is, we can reflect His light with our witness to others. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. John 1:6-9 NIV #CR #CelebrateRecovery #Jesus CelebrateRecovery.com

We all have the opportunity to look around us to see who could use some help. So often people transition out of Celebrate Recovery because they feel like they’v...e reached a healthy place. However, our presence at CR could help way more people than just us! Jesus was pretty clear about how we should serve others: If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Matthew 5:41-42 NIV Don’t stop because your feelings say you should. Keep coming back!! #CR #CelebrateRecovery #KeepComingBack CelebrateRecovery.com

I am a faithful, dedicated, and serving believer in Jesus Christ who has struggled with mental illness that included self-worth, fear and anger. My name is Paul.... Poor self-image, no self-worth, and a fear of rejection dominated my formative years. This led to self-isolation and bullying in school. Mental Health was not a subject of conversation in my upbringing. That lack of self-worth continued into adulthood and affected all areas of life. This was defended like a junk yard dog by the anger. Numerous relationships were impacted by the anger and suicidal tendencies. Serving in the military also taught me to ignore and stuff my problems. After being asked to help with a Celebrate Recovery startup, I got over my fear and began reading through the books and materials. It became apparent that the tools provided in CR can help in my daily walk with Mental Health. Today, thanks to Jesus‘s work through Celebrate Recovery, I have confidence and hope. There is also a feeling of support that I never thought possible A huge level of gratitude goes to my CR family, who, through God, have made me a better husband, a better friend, and helped me grow in my vertical relationship with God. Serving now in Celebrate Recovery keeps me on track in my recovery principle 8. #CR #CelebrateRecovery #Testify CelebrateRecovery.com

See you on Friday! (Tonight). At New Hope!

My name is Meeshia, I am a grateful believer of Jesus Christ, I am in recovery from childhood abuse and I struggle with mental health issues and addiction. Gr...owing up I always felt alone and broken. Childhood was filled with sexual, mental and physical abuse, leaving me hyper sensitive, taking everyone’s responsibility and turning against myself. But those coping mechanisms would turn against me, causing me to despair my life at a very young age. My teen years included multiple suicide attempts and turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. I had decades of counseling for depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts that would work for awhile. But the pain would resurface, causing me crippling guilt and anger, and have me asking why childhood hurts still impact my adult life so deeply? Why could I not let it go? I felt trapped and had no hope. July 10, 2012 I walked into Celebrate Recovery because it truly was my last hope. I found I had a safe place to share the truths of the trauma and learn healthy tools to handle the triggers of C-PTSD. Those tools are giving me healing that I truly thought would never come. I have learned that there is no healing without naming the pain and without believing Jesus when He says I am not my trauma. I am a daughter of a loving God who provides hope and healing. I hope that you will take a chance and keep taking a chance. It is worth the risk. #CR #CelebrateRecovery #mentalhealthawarenessmonth CelebrateRecovery.com
