The greatest thing about Celebrate Recovery is watching the parade of changed lives every day! God is so amazing and He "never wastes a hurt"!

Celebrate Recovery is all about bring people to Jesus where a person can find the healing from life's Hurts, Habits and Hang-ups. We watch each week as men and women of alkl ages and walks, come to hear the message and then as they continue to attend, we get to see the smiles come back, lives restored, relationships mended and families re-united.

I always look forward to the Friday night program because this is where the celebration occurs. When I first got "sober", I was not aware of God and was certainly not "looking for Him". I learned over time that God was always there and that He had the plan for my life and was waiting patiently for me to invite Him in. When I did, the continuation of miracles occurred, and when I look back at this process, I realize that God had control all of the time and I was the foolish one who thought I was making all of the decisions on my own.

Today, I look forward to the continuing miracles in my own life and recognize, more and more, the miracles that are happening around me. Another revelation was that When I let God have control, I don't have to play God and try to do all of it on my own.

God is awesome and His plan is perfect -
