Don't Be Discouraged

Don't be discouraged in walking the Celebrate Recovery (CR) journey.  An understanding and grasp of the 8 CR Principles and the 12 Steps will form the foundation for "working the program".  Our hurts, hangups and habits (H-H-H) typically do not develop overnight in our lives.  As such, we need to be patient to allow sufficient time to digest these Principles and Steps.  Remember, it is God's timing and not ours.  When we try to "control" the process, then that's when we trip up.  As said in the Step program, "Let Go, Let God"!

From personal experience as well as observation of others on the CR journey, it is likely that each of us will go through these Principles and Steps more than once.  This wonderful journey/pilgrimage is a lifelong process during which the CR tools are to be used regularly.

Stay humble to Jesus Christ, and allow Him to lift you up as stated in James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up."
