Unraveled
I have been in the midst of unraveling. My first instinct is to escape and ignore the pulling of the tenuous threads holding my soul together.

We offer a residential program, in East Alabama, for women transitioning out of a correctional facility or rehabilitation program who desire to transform their lives and maintain recovery as thriving, contributing citizens.
Our holistic program includes job training, establishing a personal support system, life skills, spiritual growth, and access to professional medical care and counseling.
Our 9-12 month program has been carefully developed to provide a firm foundation on which to rebuild a life. Our goal is for each woman to leave RGM equipped with the necessary skills that will allow them to maintain everlasting recovery!

I have been in the midst of unraveling. My first instinct is to escape and ignore the pulling of the tenuous threads holding my soul together.
We will all have a lot of “in between” times in our lives. Time and wisdom have taught us that circumstances will change and most situations will come to a conclusion. What we do with the “in between” determines our attitude.
Recently I have experienced a new type of grief. It’s been hard. I have watched people I love grieve and there’s nothing I can do to alleviate the pain.
God’s ways aren’t ours. Manipulating a situation is contrary to what God desired me to do. He was asking me to cease striving, stop fighting, stop doing- in other words “be still”- and let Him fight for me.
I love the week between Christmas and New Year’s! I like the slower pace compared to a typical week. This past year has been amazing!
My view of Christmas has been shaped by the carols we sing. Recently, I have begun to realize how they don’t accurately portray the Birth of Christ. My favorite carol was Silent Night, until I heard “Labor of Love” by Andrew Peterson.
