People have been hiding from their problems for years. I prefer to call them our 'dysfunctions' because we simply cannot operate to our full potential in God's will when we have "junk" to protect. God has blessed me with many dysfunctios for just a time as this. When it comes to dysfunctional, our Celebrate Recovery Leader's rule!!! We're the people that others looked at, rolled their eyes, and didn't believe there was any hope for us. Then along came Celebrate Recovery! What a sense of humor God has!! Now, the dysfunctions we had are no longer a problem, they are a requirement to lead in this program. Who could possibly understand you better than someone else who has been through what you are going through? We are no longer considered "those people." People come to this program and follow 'dysfunctional people' because they understand! When it comes to being dysfunctional, you're not alone. Everyone has "junk" in their lives, it's just there are a few who are willing to admit it. They don't hide behind a mask of denial and pretense. We aren't the "B" Team anymore. We ARE a part of God's design. We have a unique ability to help others in a way that hasn't been offered before. The fact is; the church needs you now as much as you need the church.
Have a blessed week!
