Week 3 - ROOTED

The work of forgiveness is hard. But the truth is: if you’re holding onto all the hurt and all of the resentments…you aren’t free. Holding onto all that anger is only hurting you. Not forgiving is like you drinking the poison and expecting the other person to die. Forgiveness is when you are able to let go of the hate, anger, and fantasies of revenge that have been consuming you. You know you have entered into forgiveness when those things no longer hold you captive.

Rielly Christine will join me as our Guest Storyteller. Rielly had a very tumultuous relationship with her mom. Drinking gave Rielly a suit of armor against her mom…against the pain. She’s been sober for more than two years now, and recently found out her mom has a terminal illness. Rielly is learning how to forgive. In her words: “I had to give up an angry, hateful relationship and trade it in for a loving relationship with God.” She’ll share with us a powerful story of recovery & forgiveness.
