Tonight ends the Celebrate Recovery Summit. It was a most remarkable experience. I knew well what to expect, but no one can ever anticipate just how much God is going to move in a celebration experience like this. There are no words to describe such a glorious experience. I’m sure it is one of those moments which will resemble in part what the start of heaven will be–glorious, unending praise.
I won’t take much time to share tonight as we are leaving in the am for the airport at 5:30 so I’m soon headed to bed. I just want to share a phrase I heard today that is worth keeping in the forefront of our thinking and actions. In Celebrate Recovery we are taught and accountable to stay in touch with others who support us and for whom we support. The phrase today was “call before you fall”. No matter what we struggle with, we need to have support to overcome it. So, before you fall prey to the struggle, call someone. It is so simple, yet it is so difficult at the moment. However, once one has experienced the outcome of calling, it is a most remarkable thing to find that after you call, the temptation to submit is gone. With that–have a good night’s sleep! I’ll be back on track Sunday morning.
