NEW STEP GROUP – Starting THIS SATURDAY – May 3rd

Our founder, Jorge, will be leading his seventh step study group starting in May.

The group lasts for about 12 to 18 months and you will go through all the steps including the pre-step and post-step work in the Castimonia book. 

They will meet every week on Saturday mornings from 8:00am to 9:55am before the 10am Saturday Castimonia meeting in Katy. There is no cost to join the group but you must purchase a copy of the Castimonia book, 2nd edition.  Out of town guests will be able to use Zoom to join the group if they cannot attend in person. Houston-area members will need to attend in person.

This group takes a strong, long term commitment and is great for those ready to work the steps and have the Lord change their lives.

Please have any interested individuals contact Jorge at jorge@castimonia.org.

Vengeance

originally posted at: http://www.theresstillhope.org

A mother heard her daughter crying and ran in to see that her young son had grabbed the girl’s hair and was pulling it. She removed the boy’s hand and told her daughter, “He doesn’t realize how much that hurts.”

The mother left the room, and in a few minutes, she heard the little boy crying. When she walked into the room, her daughter said, “Now he knows!”

Vengeance is a biblical principle. But vengeance belongs to the Lord, not us. Yet, that is how our world operates – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. 

God has something to say about that.

“See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all men” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Has someone harmed you? Perhaps you have been betrayed by your spouse’s broken promises. It is natural to seek vengeance. In fact, you have a right to seek vengeance. But having a right doesn’t make it right. 

Recovery Step: Leave vengeance in the hands of God.

Battle Plans

A Perusian military strategist named Helmuth von Moltke said, “No battle plan can survive the enemy.”

Philosopher Mike Tyson said, “Everyone has a plan when they step into the ring. It lasts until I punch them in the face.”

We all need plans. You need plans – for your finances, job, marriage, kids, hobbies, and recovery.

Especially recovery.

But don’t write your plans in stone. Know that they will need to change. Immerse your recovery plan in prayer, because ultimately, only God’s plans will win the day.

He promised, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Recovery Step: Today, create a recovery plan. Tomorrow, let God help you modify that plan.
