Confrontation

 Not sure why we look at confrontation as a bad word?  The dictionary term says; "a meeting face to face, and a bringing together of ideas for comparison".  Doesn't sound so bad to me!!  The problem is how uncomfortable it is for us to tell others the truth or receive it ourselves.  A lot of the time the conversation gets out of hand and we are forced to deal with a rather loud situation.  So it may not be a problem for us to share but we may be worried how others will take it, or . . . how we'll take it.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices teach us tools that can help us relate and receive unpleasant information in respectable ways.

Issues With Purpose

Personal issues in our lives are simply designed to pick away at our fortitude. If we start with a weak constitution then it is not a far trip to the bottom. Mastering the temptations thrown in our path throughout our life, is the way to avoid these trip-ups that cause us sooo much grief.  Relate it to throwing gasoline near a fire, eventually the fumes from the fuel will drift toward the flames and ignite.

It's much the same with us!  If we don't stay away from temptations then the fumes from our behavior  will eventually reach the flames and we will be engulfed in a heated affair, sometimes without us even knowing!!

Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices are self-help groups that help us to learn about the trappings of the under laying of a darker world that is not necessarily visible to us...making us wiser!!

Did you hear about so-n'-so?

Ever notice how our own sins don't seem as bad as other peoples? Hearing stories about people makes it easy for us to jump in to the carnage of trashing other people.  I guess it takes the focus off of our own failings, so its kind of a security blanket to protect ourselves.  We don't really stop to think about the effect we have on others in the midst of this, we just know that they are not talking about us at this point in time.  Not a very healing moment is it?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices help us to focus the attention on ourselves and find true healing for our own hurts, failings, & transgressions.  Now that's a true healing moment!

Cold Hard Facts

We spend our entire life trying to figure life out.  What makes people tick and what sends them and us into orbit.  We all like to think of ourself as a good person and usually see ourselves doing right.  We can forgive our own quirks and failings, but its a different story when it comes to forgiving others.  With our own quirks we find ways of expaining our misgivings to make our actions seem more palitable and reason our way through and soften the edges of our trangressions, but with others we only use cold hard facts about what they did and said.  All the nice explainations are gone and the plausible reasons no longer exist.  Why the unfair imbalance?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices try to put us all on the same page and give us a correct view of looking at ourselves and others equally.

Hiding Place

Some place where the world can't see you cry or writhe in uncomfortable situations.  A place where our mask is greater than our self worth. Where our pride trumps everything.  A time when the value of anything is less, than us saving face or maintaining our standing in our peer group.  We can physically lock ourself away or find a comfortable addiction that makes us look smart.

People will suffer because of our pent up anger, our lashing tongue, and what seems that we don't care about anything or anyone because of the things we say and do.

Being in a place like that allows us to act like a rabid Pitbull whenever we are challenged with good, or our actions called into question.  It's like our nerve endings are exposed.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices help us to see what we really look like when we are deceived beyond our reality; basically what other people see.

Co-Dependency

Interesting word and mostly misunderstood.  It's on a scale of:
1/ mentally having the insatiable desire to be with someone who abuses you - to -
2/ saying and doing things that are out of character to gain the acknowledgement of others.

It's a hard road to be, or feel unloved & unwanted.  To think that your contributions don't matter, or that your presence is insignificant.  However, when you give people what they want and do things that allow other people to take notice of you, then it feels good.

Addiction has many faces and none of them are pretty, but that doesn't stop us from making ourselves ugly just so people will notice us.

Self help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us how to pull the masks off and be comfortable with just our self.

Shunning

When someone does something that offends you, how do we, and should we respond?  If we are more uncontrolled we could blow up at them. If we are more passive we could avoid them.  If we are afraid of them we could shun them.  If we are more ignorant then we could gossip about them.  Or a combination of all the above.  Really?  It happens more than you can imagine, and in every workplace, religious institution, family, marriage, & organization.  None are spared as revenge is rampant!  The person who offends innocently or what seems maliciously is an easy target.  The person who avenges in secret is filled with bitterness, fear, envy, and unforgiveness.

The Bible is clear when it says to; "go to your offender and try to clear the air by making your misgivings know to them".  Oh it also says "don't forget about the plank in your own eye".

Self Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to gain the confidence and wisdom to approach our offenders with the healing touch that Christ gives us, but only if we ask for it!
