Celebrate Recovery West Valley

SPIRITUAL INVENTORY PART 1 & 2- We are still working on Step 4 & Principle 4 (see above listings). Being able to rely on our Higher Power, we need to make sure that we are right in our relationship with Him. Lamentations 3:40 says, "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord." How is your relationship with God?

This past Sunday, both Pastor Glenn and Pastor Rob were right on point with our Spiritual Inventory. Pastor Glenn spoke about the Holy Spirit and the different aspects that He has in our lives: He teaches us truth, love and obedience, and memory. Yep! Memory! We leak! Sunday we are doing fine remembering to rely on God, but come Tuesday we forget and are bombarded with doubts and fears - we go to meeting and remember again only by Friday to "leak" what we've learned. It's because we are not letting the Holy Spirit work in us and oh, was that Step 2 when we knew we were not in control and Who is?

Then Sunday night, Pastor Rob hit it on the head! "Being in proximity does not make it a connection." We can read the Bible, go to church, pray, but not feel connected. We are not surrendering (Step 3)!! You can hear both sermons from Jan. 10th on the Church website, www.wvcch.org. Why do I bring this up? Because if we don't have a connection to our Higher Power, how do we expect Him to give us victory over our hurts, habit, and hang-ups!!

The 8 areas for our Spiritual Inventory include:
Relationships with others
Priorities in Your Life
Your Attitude Your Integrity
Your Mind
Your Body
Your Family
Your Church

These areas are in your participant guides along with some great questions to help you think these areas through. If you are not working your steps and want to start, just ask, we'll help you. God bless you all as you work and travel down this road together! Use this forum to share your thoughts and comments. This blog is for you!!
