Bless Your Abuser

Bless Your Abuser

Everyone has their story of abuse and healing

This statement doesn’t say, seek abuse and stay in an unhealthy relationship.
Jesus said to bless those who curse you.

Basically this statement says to be grateful for learning how much stronger he made us to be.

Sometimes we should not have these conversations with the actual person who hurt us but speak to God as the one who carried you through and in our healing is the only connection between us and those who have hurt us.

Don’t Trip Over Being Right

Don’t trip over being right. There are always a number of perspectives you can’t see. Humility and truth in love will help you with this one.

Connect the Dots Featuring New Hope Cancer Recovery

Connect the Dots Featuring New Hope Cancer Recovery

by | Feb 13, 2013 | Cancer, Community

Back in August we were blessed to have the opportunity to work with Kim Walters of New Hope Cancer Recovery on her annual event, Cruise for the Cure. This annual event takes an entire year to pull off and according to Kim, when we met with her last week over lattes at our mutually favorite coffee shop, ZoJo, she has several details well underway.

Before Cruise for the Cure 2012, we had the opportunity to interview Kim for a Connect The Dots Episode with a lot of fuel injection! Of course our attention was detoured from blog entries while we jumped from Cruise for the Cure to Christmas Angel Telethon…so here is our thoughts on this show.

New Hope Cancer Recovery is a resource for those that are living with cancer and those that love them, as well as those who have lost someone to cancer. When you watch this episode you will get an idea of how New Hope Cancer Recovery can help you and some of the fun that happens at Cruise or the Cure which always takes place in beautiful Downtown Longview!
