Families in Recovery Ministries
Believe, support, hope – together in faith
As I sit here thinking about my growing list of things to do for work tomorrow, I can feel the anxiety build. I think my motto for this week will be: I can only do what I can do. Yesterday, I found myself in an all to familiar position. My son needed something, and I... Continue Reading →
With all that has happened in the world this year, it seems our focus has shifted from the person to the world. We fight for a cause, we pray for a move to go our way- and miss the person we could help today. Don’t get me wrong, its important to pray for what we... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about the principle of the path today. It is not your intentions that will get you where you want to go. It is the steps you take in the right direction. Andy Stanley wrote a wonderful book to answer the question, “ How do you get where you want to go?”... Continue Reading →
to attach (a rope) to something so that it is secure : to attach a secure rope to (a person) for safety. I have this image in my mind of rock climbing.

"Isn't this the One who opens blind eyes? Why didn't He do something to keep Lazarus from dying? (John 11:37,TPT)" There are people in our world who are dead but alive.

"For they no longer belong to this world anymore than I do. (John 17:16,TPT)" You are in this world, but not of it. Hineni. Here I am, I am listening. Abraham cried out to the Lord – Hineni! I am ready for whatever was to come. Moses spoke Hineni to the Father at the burning... Continue Reading →
(An excerpt from 300 Days: Out of the Dark Night into Life) "A new power is in operation.
