Founder's Message
I Can you believe it’s March 2009? Nine more months and this year will be over. Have you started working towards your goals for 2009? My goal was just to be a better me. I am striving to reach that goal on a daily basis. I want the Lord to be pleased in my actions. To love unconditionally, that’s my mission. To forgive others as Christ has forgiven me, that’s my mission. To smile when I feel like crying, that’s my mission. Is that your mission too?

Relief is bursting out of me for this new issue. Lord knows it has been a task. But it’s here!
We all have been a step away from something. A drink away from being an alcoholic, a bed away from catching AIDS ( if you had unprotected sex ), a crime away from being in jail and a hit away from being an addict. Make a moment and read the interview entitled, “My Disease of Addiction”, a candid and very honest interview with a recovering addict. She talks about prostituting herself, allowing drug dealers to use her home to package drugs and men that sell their bodies to other men for drugs and so much more in this issue.

(New) My Disease of Addiction by Nicole Cleveland

A candid interview with a Recovering Addict

Alcohol and drug addiction is not going anywhere. Each year millions of people become addicted to legal and illegal drugs. The effect it has on family and loved ones is serious. Children are prostituted by drug addicted parents, possessions are stolen and families are left to pick up the pieces. All in the name of Love…. or is it love? Someone told me it was enabling. One of my favorite shows on television is Intervention on A&E. It’s raw but it’s real . Recently I had a conversation with Sandy*, a recovering addict.


(New) The Missing Pieces To My Purpose: Conceived by Rape by John Donelson

“I’m just trying to understand some things about myself”, I said. “Can you tell me a little about my father? What happened with him? How come you never talk about what happened?” Earlier that evening I had been in our intercessory prayer. It was a good thing; because I was even more prepared for what I would hear than I would have ever thought possible. “Well”, I hear over the long-distance phone call. As she clears her throat nervously, and speaks with a mixture of fear and faith, “When I was 15 years old”, she paused again, “I was raped. He doesn’t know about you, and has never laid eyes on you. I don’t know where he is, what he is, or if he even still exists”.

She was 54 years old when she finally revealed her secret.


(New) Abuser: I Don’t Really Want To Hurt my Child by Kathy Collard Miller

Marching over to my two-year-old daughter, I directed her into the bathroom. As I struggled to pull down the soaking pants, I felt a rush of frustration and a sense of failure.

"Darcy, you're supposed to come in the bathroom and go in the potty chair. Why can't you learn?" I continued to berate her. As I began spanking her with my hand, my tension and tired¬ness found an outlet. Spanking changed to hitting.

Darcy's uncontrollable screaming brought me back to reason. Seeing the red blister on her bottom, I dropped to my knees.

(New) Vicki’s Voice

Q. Dear Pastor Vicki,
I am having issues with letting go and letting God fix my situations. I give it to him and then I pick it back up and try to fix it myself. How do I truly Let Go and Let God, like the song says?

MONEY MATTERS

How Did I Get Into This Mess by Terry Rigg

I know for myself and most of the people I have counseled over the years, that it wasn't until we took a good hard look at how we got ourselves in debt, that we were able to start working on a way out. This isn't for the purpose of placing blame, but is necessary to determine what changes needed to be made and to prevent it from happening again.
