“Remind yourself daily not to live life in the confines of fear.” Its something I tweeted a few days ago. A little while later I had a running conversation with someone who asked me questions about it….

“What if you fear addiction? I mean if someone is actually afraid of being addicted. They’re scared of being addicted. I ask you stuff like this because you make a lot of very black & white statements, but it’s not always black & white.”

I told her I’d write on it….well here is what I meant and also a reply to her inquiry..

Here is an entry from a guest writer….I was asked to take what he wrote on paper and transcribe/email it for his family. While he sat there crying I was able to better understand what he was trying to say so there were minor edits to his handwritten letter but at its core, this is from a young man who has battled some major demons. Ive known him for years and to witness the transformation that has happened…a testament to the power of prayer. A few months ago he was in a mental ward with no hope, now he’s a young man with hope for a better future.

I hardly ever use a writing that isnt my own but this was too good to ignore. Thanks Megan for sending this to me….

What is broken in your life? In your heart, your mind, your spirit? Are you aware of the cracked, worn and battered things in your life that need the healing touch of God? If you were to survey the contents of your life…the sum total of your behavior, thoughts, feelings and actions, there is bound to be something that needs healing, that needs the gentle breath of our Savior to breathe life back into it.

This literally brought tears to my eyes. I had asked one of the guys I’ve done the one-on-one discipleship training to write a letter to give out for those wondering what its all about. The next step of my ministry is to offer this every single guy who flows to Sanctuary House. Some are able to afford it and others…not so much. The purpose of this letter was originally meant to send out as a request for churches, people, organizations, etc. willing to scholarship those who couldn’t come up with the funds to do the training with me. What it has ended up doing is reminding me that God is able to use a recovering alcoholic in amazing ways whenever I lean on Him.

I was sent an email that asked….

I would like to talk to you about how you think the Word changes the life of those on the road of addiction. Without revealing too much, I am researching the role of God’s word applied to several of life’s devastating situations. Addiction is certainly a devastating and yet, all too common, part of life for many women today. If you can think of how the Word has been life changing for someone, I would love to know. Specifically, I am looking for someone who clings to the Scripture as life itself. Let me know if someone comes to mind. (Even yourself)

There are times when God just reaffirms in only ways that He can that I am doing the right thing…..

A few hours after I posted yesterdays blog, I got an email from the guy I wrote about. What he may not have realized was that i was questioning myself about what I am doing here in California. Thoughts that Im not cut out to do this, lies that I may not be following what God has called me to do. As you can see, I was wrong and for this season of my life I am doing exactly what I need to be doing….

Earlier today I was having lunch with a friend i’ve known since birth. He asked me how my book sales were going. I replied “Sh!tty.” Honestly i’ve given away more books than was sold through Amazon. At times it depresses me when people ask how sales are going. Then I have God remind me that when I first decided to publish the book my heart only cared if I touched one life.
