Relationships

Requires a solid understanding of whether they are acquaintances, friends, comrades, intimate, or sexual.  Most people grow up with a tainted view of each of these because of other people's baggage.  A blurry knowledge of these creates a free-for-all when it comes to boundaries or lack there of.  It's when we give our bodies away in an attempt to get people to like us.  It's when we don't think of other peoples feelings that we just take from them when we can get it, because we feel we are entitled.  It's when we are labelled because of our simple approach to what love really is, because we just don't know.  It's the cold approach that we show others when we don't need them anymore.  It's the abandoned feeling we have because they found someone better.   It's the way we try to dodge people because we don't have the courage to face them after a breakup.  Most people we know are only acquaintances, some are friends, fewer are comrades, much less are intimate, and only one should be sexual.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to differentiate what each group is and more importantly, how to categorize who the people are in our lives.  Being in the dark about what relationships are is the most frightening thing when they go wrong, but the Bible can help us to figure them out.

Avoiding Decisions

We've all done that!!  Trying to avoid making a life altering decision because we're afraid to make the wrong choice.  We know if we decide one way it will limit us in our freedoms.  Yet if we don't limit those freedoms we could potentially slip further into a quagmire of darkness where we VIEW our only real joy in life exists.  We think like that because we don't know of any other joy other than decay, tragedy, deception, and selfishness.  We've made horrible choices and may look at ourselves as the bottom of the barrel, but we still have the power to justify who we have made ourselves out to be and find something acceptable in that.  But deep down we suspect there is a better life out there, one free of deceiving ourselves and others of who we think we are and who we really should be in the eyes of God.  It's more about us not accepting that, and about us forcing others to accept the way we think.

Self-help groups like Life's Healing Choices & Celebrate Recovery help to see what is truly available to us, where we could be in life, and more importantly . . . WHY?
