Whenever I give my testimony I struggle to tell anyone I’m doing so for fear they might come.  I still struggle with this but yesterday in getting it revised I was nudged to call a couple people I felt God wanted me to invite.  I did that and they are both coming.  It is always humbling and rewarding to find that obedience to a nudge completes exactly what God wants done.

In living through the days of this past week I’ve learned something I didn’t think I would ever be able to face.  I’m going to address it tonight with the 7-Pillars group of men.  It ties in with the story behind my own addictive pattern of behavior.  God was showing me this morning that He wants me to talk it through with the men in our group tonight.  I know it is the right thing to do so I will step into it knowing it is “the truth that sets us free”.

This journey of “living one day at a time, one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace” is grueling at times.  Accepting the hardships as pathways to peace is the tough one for today.  I am stepping out in faith that James 5:16 is true that when we confess to one another we are healed.  God has provided so much healing for me I don’t know why each step of the journey has to be filled with so much anxiety–I think I’m human.  I love the fact that God is our loving Father and is faithful, ever faithful.
