Do You Have Your Helmet On?

As I'm reading through the book "Warrior Chicks", I'm finding some gems in here I would like to share. The next several entries will be regarding our Armor.
"You and I are to put on the helmet of salvation. This helmet is to guard our minds. In the midst of battle, our mind must be protected. Most battles truly begin and end in the mind. The mind is the source for every action we take, every decision we make and every thought that we allow to linger. Every behavior we exhibit begins in our mind.
The helmet of salvation guards our mind and gives us confidence in Christ. You and I have been saved by what Christ did for us on the cross. God didn't establish a relationship with us because of our goodness. No, we can only come into the presence of God because of what Jesus did for us. No one can take that away."
So how is your mindset? All of us need to work on taking our negative thoughts captive. Most of us have done it for so long, that it is second nature to be negative about ourselves as well as others. Use the list "What God Says About You" to help change this pattern. As those negative thoughts begin to creep in, proclaim the positive of God's Word in your life.
God Bless,

Importance of Friends

Eccl 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a more satisying reward for their work. If one falls, the friend will be there to help the other up.

Wouldn't that stink to not have someone to help you up when you fall?

How important friends are! This includes accountability and sponsors. The fact is, we are all in the same boat. We are human and we all fall. We all need people.

So you can look at this verse in two ways. You can be that friend to encourage and stand by others who are having a rough time. Or you can humble yourself and let someone help you when you are having a rough time. Understand though, this is going to take you truthfully opening up yourself, letting your guard down and be ready for positive criticism. Our goal is to move forward, right? Why not go side-by side?

Press On

These words are on my heart and in my head today. PRESS ON. Don't give up. Keep running the race. Keep moving forward. You may want to stop and rest or maybe you want to quit...don't! Stay strong. Listen to the Voice of Truth. Move forward. Press on.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize! 1 Corinthians 9:24

Colder Seasons

Hello everybody. Hope you are all staying warm. Just wanted to let everybody know how much GOD love's each and every one of us. We are planning a great Christmas Party.
I pray everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving with all the trimmings. This is the time of year that a lot of people will need to be calling thier accountability partners and anyone else you may need to help get through the holidays. Remember: Church is a great place to go when any of us feel we cannot do it alone, so keep that in mind. To ask for help does not make one weak, it add's to our strength. We are here to help one another, through the Holidays as well. Hope to see you all on Tuesday Nights. This is where you can get numbers from accountability partners.
Everybody have a safe and wonderful Holiday. GOD BLESS

October Events!

I don't know about you, but I had an awesome time this past October and Halloween season. Our walk through Mad Scientist/Hero's Cave was a hit and the Mystery Party following was a great time as well. These next couple months are sure to hold some fun moments and events as well. Keep in touch to the blog or to the announcements on Tuesday nights for information on these get togethers!

P.S. we would all love to see pics of the fun October events!

It's Time for the Action Card

There are times when we don't want to do things. Maybe we don't feel we have the time or the energy. That is when it is time to pull out the "ACTION CARD"! With a smile on our face...we have to suck it up and get off the couch! I have found this to happen a lot in recovery and becoming healthier inside and out. I have had to take on Nike's slogan and "just do it." What about you? Are there areas in your life where you need to take action?
