This Week’s Recovery Application Challenge
If you haven’t already, please refer to this week’s TWIRL activity.
Sarah Kelly titled her album, “Where the Past Meets Today”. This is where we need to mean business in our recovery. More often then not we allow our past to paint our today in all of those dark colors that allow our wounded history to determine how we think and behave today. Our attitudes are driven by the pain and struggle of our personal history impacting every aspect of how we think and behave. Even our perception of God is colored by the experiences of our past.
