Hurts, Habits, & Hangups - What does that mean?

Everyone has been hurt at some point in their life. This can easily turn into a hang-up, where we focus on the hurt frequently. In turn, that hang-up can become a habit. We must remember: What we don't work out creatively, we act out destructively.
Do you harbor resentment/anger? It may be by someone that has hurt you or even by the loss of a loved one. Co-Dependence - Does your mood or happiness depend on someone else? This can be a spouse, parent, child, etc. Do you try to manipulate this person to get what you want and feel devastated if they don't react in the manner you were hoping for?
Or maybe you don't feel you can live up to everyone else's expectations of you. You don't have to.
When we have our focus of God, we realize His expectations are the ones that matter. Our happiness lies with our relationship with Him.
Perhaps you've been divorced. The pain can be emotionally crippling. We need to allow God to heal the hurt, so we don't carry that pain into our next relationship.
God wants to see us healthy and whole. That's why we offer CR. You get your focus off of your junk and onto God, allowing Him to heal you.
There are a tremendous amount of bondage's: financial, possessions, spending, eating, abuse, sex, anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, depression, divorce, drugs (street and prescription), loss of loved ones, prostitution, alcohol.....the list goes on and on. It doesn't matter "what" you're dealing with, God wants to set you free!! Don't continue to live as the victim, join us Tues @ 7:00 and allow God to make you the "VICTOR"!
God Bless,
Laura S.
