Well I guess I had less to say than I thought!

It's been a year and three months since my last
post and it feels even longer! I've been through
some tough times and I am much stronger for it.

This summer I started working with some of the
members of my Church to start a Celebrate Recovery
program. I considered myself "recovered" from the
brokenness of divorce and anger issues. Well the
past two months, I had to face some dark demons
from my past and deal with the fact my childhood
wasn't as rosy as I would have myself remember or
that I would ever (gasp) admit to others.

Celebrate Recovery is a great program that was born
of of Saddleback Church in I believe California. Anyway
it's wonderful for anyone trying to get past their "hurts,
habits and hang ups" It is similar to AA but focuses on
Christ as the "higher power" and fits for far more than
just one particular "A". In my opinion the "A" is just a
symptom of whatever is broke inside a person to begin
with. For me, service was my addiction. I would and
did about kill myself trying to serve others so I wouldn't
have to face my own issues. It was so much easier to feel
others pain than to not only feel mine but even acknowledge
I had any pain in me. It took some pretty extraordinary
circumstances but God did His thing and I am released from
some painful "muck" from my childhood and have established
new boundaries for my current and future relationships.

I did tons of writings during the painful times and some of it is
really good. I plan on posting some of my experiences and
insights as time allows!

God is so good and I am thankful for these difficult months. It
really burnt away some chaff I needed to be released from and
I think I will be a much better Christian, Wife, Mom and person!

God is Good and He will use us as much as we let Him!!

In Him even more,
