The Next Chapter ~ November 4, 2012

The Next Chapter




I don't usually quote anything but the bible.  I think about the living word everyday, and I see many examples of living and loving Gods people.  I was moved today to share my road to recovery.  I received my 90 day chip yesterday, and I honestly felt like I was receiving an academy award.  The group I went to one time before happened to be the group God chose for me to attend last night. I walked in and the chairperson of the first meeting I attended there, remembered my name, and the speaker was an interesting lady with 37 years in recovery. I am on a God high, considering I just returned from a Christian leadership conference with 160 woman, then on to 2 days with Beth Moore (worship lead by Travis Cottell) and it was AMAZING. 4000 women !! I rocked my soul.  10 people came to accept Jesus including 2 event workers, I watched the security guard as she was surrounded by open arms with tears in my eyes.  I was so moved to see the spirit work.   I am on a journey of hope and love.  At the conference I realized my sobriety and my mission start at home each morning on my knees, and I am one person, and today I asked for patience and guidance.  So many people don't understand being a Christian, or being in AA.  Some see it as a cult or something they cannot explain, but to witness 4000 women singing praise to God, and accepting his hand in their lives wholeheartedly..... it is life changing.  Acts 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.  Who is listening to you? 


"Jesus In Disguise" - Brandon Heath

Ever get something in your head?
It's nothing you heard
Or something you read

Ever had a cut but you never saw a blade?
Brought to your knees
But you never prayed

Jesus in disguise
Jehovah passing by
The burden of a tear
Hanging in your eye

Jesus in disguise
A scar across the sky
You were looking for a king
You would never recognize

Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise

Ever feel like you been somewhere before?
You hold the key
You know which door

Speak the word your lips have never known
Because your heart
Told you so

Jesus in disguise
Jehovah passing by
The burden of a tear
Hanging in your eye

Jesus in disguise
A scar across the sky
You were looking for a king
You would never recognize

Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise

[Bridge]
So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am
Blind as I am

So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am
Blind as I am

Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise
Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise
Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise
(So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am
Blind as I am)
Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise
(So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am
Blind as I am)
