Verses

I've been going to Celebrate recovery for the past month. I'ts been a great group! We have this booklet that we go through and answer questions. When we come together on Wednesdays, we share our answers. A couple verses that hit me more this week then ever before. I think it's b/c of what I"m going through in life w/ different ppl in my life. I beat myself up when things go wrong and always feel like "it's all my fault." But it's not all my fault. And I'm a person being hurt too.

from the booklet:
Stop the blame.
We cannot find peace and serenity if we continue to blame ourselves or others. Our secrets have isolated us from each other. They have prevented intimacy in all our relationships. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and fail to notice the plank in your own? How can you say to your brother, "let me get the speck out of your eye" when this is a plank in your own?... Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you can see clearly enough to remove your brother's speck of dust" Matthew 7:3

working together and being accountable is of great importance. "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." James 5:16

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.
