Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
It’s been an up and down sort of week, in some moments I feel low and other I feel myself, some things have gone well and other things just won’t fall into place. But through it all, the highs and lows, I have held on to the Lord, I have tried to keep His commandments, although at times I know I have failed in the low moments.
I actually feel like I am in a slightly better place than I was last week, in being in honest about how I feel, I have actually been able to deal with it better. There is still a long way to go and a few battles to be fought over the next month or so, but I am putting up a fight with the Lord at my side.
If I keep doing that, keep fighting, keep praising and keep praying, I believe the new year will bring something new, something great.
THE ANTHEM by JESUS CULTURE & JAKE HAMILTON I can hear the footsteps of my King I can hear His heartbeat beckoning In my darkness He has set me free And now I hear the Spirit calling me

I owe my life to the Lord, I was dead in my sin and addiction, yet He gave me life anew, in the journey since there have been times I have had to obey Him, times to serve Him and definitely times I have had to hold fast to Him, but through it all He has always been there.
I BELONG TO YOU by JESUS CULTURE You can be the One that steals my heart With just a simple thought of who You are Let Your light shine in the darkest parts Let Your love fill the world

I have always been confused by the use of the words to “fear the Lord”, but my understanding is that God is to be revered, to be praised and glorified. So we should trust in Him and if we do that, love Him, praise Him and trust in Him, we will lack for nothing.
