Testimony – JENNY
Below is a brief preview of what Jenny will share with us this week. Come find encouragement from her testimony of how the Lord has been faithful to her, pursued her, & loved her when she has needed Him the most.
“Each time I shared, the pain was divided and the burden was lifted. I felt the love and forgiveness of Christ and I was able to forgive myself. When I relapsed again just one month later at Christmas, I was angry at myself and feeling like a complete failure, but I was obedient and kept coming, took my blue chip, shared, and was again met with love and forgiveness and the burden was lifted. I haven’t used since. I created a boundary to abstain from going to my parents’ house for 5 months after that. I’ve since visited them four separate times, this Thanksgiving included, and did not use. My romantic relationship was the last thing I was holding on to from my old life. I was petrified of letting go of the only “healthy” man I had ever been with and afraid of being completely single. I had no desire to let it go. I prayed for God to align my will with His. And He did. In April, I was able to respectfully end a relationship in a healthy manner.”
“The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came before Him, into His ears. He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. He brought me into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” – from Psalm 18
Recovery Reminder
Principle 7: Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out.
