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.

perfect

At an Advent meditation group last night a participant spoke about the message of "be perfect" that was given to her as a young girl. She said she was so very tired of that message ringing in her ears even now as an adult. She used it to criticize herself when she made very human mistakes. Our group facilitator gave some helpful perspective. He said that the Greek word for "perfect" could be interpreted as "whole." He said that the scriptural interpretation of "be perfect" has the meaning of "be whole...bring your life into wholeness where God is the central core/the whole."

Does your recovery begin to feel whole---not "perfect" but a beginning of wholeness with a spiritual and God-centered core? How has that happened? What will strengthen that sense of wholeness?
