Day One

Postby rebellious » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:04 pm

This is my first day of the 14 day process. Wow 14 days; two entire weeks. I'm a bit skeptical, but i guess that is only because I didnt really want to jump right into this. I have been told over and over again that this is one sure way to help me get through and get over many things. I hope that is true. *Whistle* ummmm i dont know what to say. This isnt exactly my thing, speaking out in the open. Oh well I guess, Iv started might as well finish.

Rebellious, you have got to be willing to do the steps sis, in order to receive the benefits of them. If you are doing the steps with a grudging heart, and not because you want to heal then you may struggle with finishing the program. Search your heart sis, and decide to finish the program through for yourself. You deserve the healing, but it's your choice. If your doing the steps to please other people sis, and not for you...then I worry that you will not receive the healing you need.


As far as not knowing what to say, I believe step 1 asks you to share what pain has brought you to beginning the steps. Share what you need healing from.

Praying for you sis.

luv ya

Hi rebs :)

Really great good to see u on this journey. I am one of the many who have walked this path, and I can tell u that it is well worth the 14 days.

Sometimes a jump can be an awesome thing :) and sometimes a push is what is needed to get us to take action and say no more, and to make the choice to do what it takes to change our situation.

However you got here, whether by recommendation or not, you made the choice to start and you are here now. Which is just wonderful :) All things happen for a reason.

So if you want a stronger relationship with the Lord, and you want to see change happen within your heart and in your situations, then commit to doing this for yourself and for God, and just open up your mind and heart to receiving what He has to reveal to you.

Cheering you on *Cheer*

Love and blessings to you in Jesus name

*hug*

Hello Rebelious,
Glad to see you are doing the steps.

I hope and pray you develop a willing heart as you will find the Lord here and he will lead you to healing if you are willing to seek and receive it.

If you are not ready to heal, then I believe you need to spend some time in prayer over it until you are ready.

He has a gift for you, but you have to choose to want it and to search for it.

God bless. :)
*angel7* Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Welcome to oasis, know that no one here will judge you and that this program will help you, you just have to be willing to one be honest with yourself and to open up. Some days will be hard and sometimes you will want to give up The devil has a way of trying to throw things in your path when you are trying to change your life the right way especially when GOD has something to do with it, but dont give up.
The people here will always be there to help you even if its a situation where you really dont want to talk about what you are going through you just need someone to pray for you, We will pray.

GOD BLESS
