RECOVERY MOMENTS
JOHN: MAKE TIME TO LISTEN
“M is MAKE TIME. I think that the book suggests setting aside a day or a weekend, to listen to yourself and to God, and I think that we need to be really prayerful about this.”
JOHN: OPEN YOURSELF TO THE TRUTH
“O is OPEN. So this is where the fearlessness comes in, ask God to reveal things. So we have to ask him to be truthful. But it's there's no problem asking him to be gentle to and he will be. Sometimes it might not feel that way, so we're talking about waking up our feelings”
JOHN: RELY ON JESUS
“R is RELY. This is relying on Jesus, for strength, for guidance, for wisdom, for insight, at this point, I should have completed step three and turned my will over to the care and control of Jesus.”
JOHN: ANALYZE BY JOURNALING
“A is ANALYZE, I think I've talked about one of my goals for 2023 is being better at journaling, being better at reflection, and setting these specific goals of having consistency in daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly annual reflection.”
JOHN: LIST YOUR EXPERIENCE
“L is LIST. So this is where we're getting the good, the bad, and the ugly out on paper, and there's something really powerful about seeing it on the page, or the screen. One of the questions in this lesson is ‘why is it important to do a written inventory?’ And in my share, I said writing it down makes it real. There's power in seeing on paper, the patterns, the enormity, the realness. It's a bit like a confession.”
