Communities

Celebrate Recovery is a community. It is a Christ-centered 12 step program ministering to those who struggle with hurts, hang-ups, habits or addictions. Celebrate Recovery uses the bible to help men and women overcome their addictions. It was founded in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California.  It is now active in over 3,500 churches across America and the world.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery principles.  This experience allows us to “be changed.”  We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another.  In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our lives’ problems.

 By allowing ourselves to take life one day at a time and applying the principles we learn through scripture and prayer we become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. It is a place where everyone is welcome and you are not judged for what bad choices you have done in the past.

I am proud to say, I’m a part of this community and I have experienced true healing here. Although not proud I admit I have made bad choices in my past and never really experienced true healing until I became a part of this community. It provided me with hope when I was in despair and it changed my life dramatically.

Whats in your wallet?

  Whats in your wallet is quite a catchy phrase, but it is indeed a great question. I am quite ashamed of how messy my purse is most of the time, but my wallet well that's a little different. So, as i am checking it i of course have a picture of my children, I have my bank cards, and also those lovely rewards cards which promise to save us some money.

I recently added a costco card to my collection after putting it of for so long ; i was never really into those club membership things, but i gave in. I also tend to keep all my receipts in there, i try and clean my wallet out once a week storing my more important purchase ones away. This is quite funny but i just finished cleaning my wallet looking for a walmart receipt to return something i bought that was broken it is just a silly shower curtain rod, but hey it cost eleven dollars. Needless to say i didn't find it.

So, now obviously i will be organizing my wallet a little bit better. If pepole were to try and identify what kind of person i am by looking in my wallet at this very moment . They would see a unorganized moommy with alot of cards in her wallet.
