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.

Light

The days are shorter and shorter-darkness comes by 4:45 p.m. here on the eastern side of our time zone. The newspapers are filled with notices of light displays-parks, botanical gardens. Malls talk of thousands of lights to "get us ready for the holidays." Maybe to try to help us forget the days are dark.

Maybe what is happening around us reflects what is happening inside of us.  There is darkness in all of us---darkness related to our struggles and challenges---darkness related to poor decisions and their consequences---darkness related to family relationships---darkness related to our distance from God.  But we are coming to a Festival of Light---the light of Christ's birth into our world---the light of His promises. We have trouble sometimes believing those promises and the light they offer us---the promise He is always with us, no matter how dark it seems.

These evenings when the darkness comes early outside, can you remind yourself that Christ is with you in your spiritual darkness? Can you begin to live into that light?

Blessings-Penny
