A woman's path to sustained recovery

Though the process of recovery is never easy, some women seem to move through the journey with less pain than others. Why? What makes the difference? Here we will talk about how that happens for each of us. We will talk about how women heal in mutually empowering realtionships with themselves, with others and with God.

yearning

As mentioned in other blogs, I love this word "yearning." It so captures my sense of searching. In a recent Commonweal magazine I read a quote from a book review which says, " Our yearning for God is the force for moving ahead. The yearning itself is a gift." (Gateway to Resurrection)

To sense the yearning for God as a force for moving us ahead-as something positive- is a wonderful reframing of that word. Not a negative feeling of something missing, but a gift in itself.

How does the yearning for God fit into your spirituality?
Is it a force that moves you ahead?
How does that look in your life? In your recovery?

Blessings-Penny
