Also, on another note. Listen to this from an article I found from an issue of Relevant Magazine from a few years ago. “Within the language of recovery is a phrase, a challenge, a mandate: “Bring the full weight of who you are into your relationships.” It means that we are free to bring all of who we are-every part of our story-into our decision-making process. it can be part of the ways we talk, act and love others. It gives people the chance to know us, and it gives people the permission to be known. Fully known. We all have things in our lives that make us unique I have come to believe that the things that make us unique are the ways joy enters into our secrets, the ways light exposes our darkness. This is why we often choose not to open these parts of our story up to others. Ultimately, it is our redemption that looks unique-it is the way healing comes, how long it takes, who is involved that makes us different. That is why the Gospel is so amazing Friends. The Gospel is the story of redemption. When we find the Gospel to be true, it eventually brings us to a place where we must confront our humanity and know ourselves as both the walking wounded and the perpetually healed. How awesome is that!?! Just thought I’d share that with you.
