I just wanted to share a couple of things this morning as I sit here praising God and celebrating my one month anniversary of not smoking! That is right no cigarettes for a full month! God is so awesome! I know and have known since the beginning of this amazing journey that I could not do this. It is only by the grace of God and Him intervening in my life in such amazing ways that this would ever be possible. The truth is this journey did not start a month ago but many years ago. God is still in the business of transforming lives. (some of us just need lots more work than other and take a lot longer!) As most of you know about 2 1/2 years ago God turned up the speed on that process in my life and things have pretty much been on a much accelerated program since then. Well for those of you who I have not spoken to or shared with in a while things are pretty much moving at warp speed (or so it seems to me) right now. God is just so amazing and is so faithful to complete His work in us. I praise Him for being the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. That no matter how much we want to change we do not have it within us to do so. It is only though the power of Jesus Christ that we can truly be transformed. Praise God with me today. Send up a word of thanks and praise to Him today for what He is still doing in the lives of those who love Him! God does have a plan and a purpose for each of us and He is faithful to bring us to the place we can and will be able to complete it.
I also wanted to share with you one of the things that I believe is truly making a difference in this part of my journey right now. There is an amazing website that has kept me in the word of God, that has kept me accountable during this process and has encouraged me and established a mentor in my life to walk along side of me. The web site address is
www.settingcaptivesfree.com
this website has many online classes available these classes deal with just about every kind of addictive problem out there. From Drug and alcohol abuse to sexual immorality, pornography, gambling, smoking, and gluttony. They even offer some of the courses in other languages. I just felt that God wanted me to share that with others. It may be that you or someone you know that is in need of this very ministry. They also may feel that they are living in a state of captivity and truly desire a way out. Please share this with others as well.
blessings to each of you!
