Recovery Reminders

What I’m experiencing
is normal.

My feelings will constantly change.

I’m in a process that
can’t be hurried.

Grief will not
destroy me.

I will heal.

Through it all...

If I never had a problem,
I wouldn't know that God could solve them.

The Silence of God

Just because God is SILENT does not mean He is ABSENT.
- Dwight Mason
I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?
- C.S. Lewis
Don’t doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.
- V. Raymond Edman
Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the risen Christ.
- Mother Teresa
Faith is believing in advance what can only be understood in reverse.
- Chuck Swindoll
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
- C.S. Lewis

The Bend in the Road

Sometimes we come to life’s crossroads and we view what we think is the end

But God has a much wider vision and He knows it is only a bend.

The road will go on and get smoother and after we’ve stopped to rest,

The path lies hidden beyond us is often the path that is best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger, let go and let God share your load

And have faith in a brighter tomorrow, you’ve just come to a bend in the road.
- Helen Steiner Rice

Trust His Heart

God is too good to be unkind.
He is too wise to be confused.
If I cannot trace His hand,
I can always trust His heart.
- Charles H. Spurgeon

Dreams

Blessed are those whose dreams are shaped
by their hopes…
not by
their hurts!
- Robert H. Schuller

I Believe

I believe in the sun,
even when it does not shine.

I believe in love,
even when it is not shown.

I believe in God,
even when He is silent.
