When the world is loud and the culture seems to have a point. But is love and compassion being used against truth as an argument? If it is from God, none of that matters!
God have each of us our own Grace. Nobody has to share their Grace with you. It’s a good thing because what you have is sufficient
We all feel it and unfortunately it wins to many times. I reference Steven Pressfield in his book, “The War of Art.”

I didn’t plan for alcohol to become the boss of my life. Who plans that? Nobody! Stop blaming yourself, and start fighting for yourself.
Do we question God when it seems impossible? Do we forget what he said and add things to our lives to replace what he said? Do we share what he said to us personally with too many people allowing opinions to drown out the message?
When the spirit battles with the flesh it is so hard!! You have courage, tenacity, and bravery! The Lord will fight for you!
I started drinking when I was only 13 years old. It progressed into my 20’s and 30’s. It was only when I wanted to quit that I realized that I couldn’t. Addiction is never planned but the Grace of God can create a new plan for your life
It can be the smallest of things that keep us going. People are not small things of course but maybe we take the simple things and simple conversations for granted
Christie and I discuss how hard boundaries can be in current relationships l, but how necessary they are to be healthy.
Boundaries are not selfish. Establishing then does not mean that you are perfect! Healthy relationships have healthy boundaries.
People come in and out of our lives. Some of those people become our friends and others for only a season. How do you connect with new people? Do you have to have a lot in common? Christina and I discuss our friendship, how to find new friends, and accepting your people for who they are. We all need friends.
Have you ever wanted to disappear into a new identity? I sure have. Go to a place where I don’t have to put on a show because of my current situation. It’s okay to isolate for a moment but..pursue peace.
When someone confesses and addiction to you, what do you do next? How do we honor trust? Nobody plans to become addicted. Changing is a process and it’s not fast.
