New Beginning's Women's Recovery Group God's Women of Grace G...od's Grace R...estores our Souls A...anchors our Faith C...reates New Life E...nlightens our Hearts If one part suffers, all parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all parts are glad. Now here is what I am trying to say; All of you together are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it." 1 Corinthians 12:26,27 We have guidelines that keep our group safe. Confidentiality: What we here in group stays in group Acceptance: We accept each other for who we are. We are at all differnet levels of our healing. We do not judge one another for our past of present circumstance. No Crosstalk. We ask that when a person issharing, they get our full attention and not be interrupted by comments, or questions made to them or others in the group. Only a facilitator may ask a question. No Advise: We are not here to council, or advise. We are here to listen, support and pray for one another. No bashing: We are not here to bash our families or friends. We are here to share our personal expereinces and feelings. Midi playing is called I Will Never Be the Same Again from WORD music... I will never be the same again I've closed the door, I will walk the path I'll run the race, and I will never be the same again. Fall like fire, Soak like rain, Flow like might waters again and again. Sweep away the darkness, burn away the chaff, And let a flame burn to glorify your name There are higher heights, there are deeper seas Whatever You need to do Lord, do it in me. The glory of God fills my life, And I will never be the same again. The graphics on this page have little girl dolls. Well no matter what we look like on the outside, or how we act, deep down inside we have little girl. For some of us, there are pleasant memries to look back too. But for most of us, our little girls didn't get what we needed and we hurt. So though we are women on the outside, we still behave like the hurt little girls in side us. That can cause many problems in our ever day life relatiohships. So now we are trying to understand the hurt of the pass, Receive the healing we need and then let the pass go. Becoming aware of the hurt, sharing it and feeling it help us grow. But the most important thing is givoing our pain to God. Then lettimg Him fill us up with his love and grace. This way we become the Women of God He is modling us to be. During this process, our friends give us those teddy bear hugs that we missed out on or still need. Through the love of God we love each other and heal. Resources we have used for group: The Bible, the source of all things we believe in.
