Last night at Celebrate Recovery one of our own gals gave her testimony. It is a genuine story of God’s great Love, Mercy and Grace. Her childhood was filled with sexual abuse from her father and then her step father. Along with this, her mom blamed her for the abuse. Her adult years have been ones of hiding her hurt until she was ready to end it all. It was then one of her sons invited her to church where she heard of our Celebrate Recovery. Instead of ending her life she took the risk to come that week. This all started 14 years ago and now she gives her story to us and to other CR’s in the valley. Last night she asked our quartet to sing a song within her testimony. The song is God Doesn’t Care. The title sounds odd, but it the message is for anyone who comes to CR. God doesn’t care what our past and present holds, He wants to love us, heal us and use all of our past for His purposes to help others find their own freedom from past bondage.

I just love to hear over and over how God is working. Yes, there are times when I wonder why I can’t see Him working but I know now that He always is. When I can’t see the results I am to trust and obey. Growing these spiritual elements: belief, faith, trust have been huge as I grow in my own freedom. What a wonderful God we get to serve!
