🌿 My Second Time at Recovery “Learn to surrender to God. Jesus is our source.”

I’ve been going to Thrive Church services since March 08, and today was my second time joining the Recovery Friday group since March 20 Friday one. Even though I’m still new, something about today felt deeper. The message was simple but powerful:

- Come to Me and I’ll give you rest

- Don’t fear — I will help you

- Let go and give it to Him

- Stop thinking like the world

- Jesus is my source

Hearing these words made me slow down and breathe. Recovery isn’t just about fixing something it’s about surrendering. It’s about trusting God with the things we hold too tightly. Today reminded me that I don’t have to carry everything alone.

⭐ What Stood Out to Me Today

- Surrender brings peace

- God doesn’t ask me to be perfect

- Rest comes from trusting Him

- Fear doesn’t win when Jesus is my source

- Recovery is a journey, not a race

Even though I’m still new, I still need help. One step at a time.

📝 Why I Ask for Texts Instead of Comments

Because of my learning disabilities and memory challenges, texting is easier for me than reading long comment sections. Text messages help me:

- stay focused

- not lose track of conversations

- remember who I’m talking to

- respond clearly

It’s not about privacy it’s about communication that works better for me.
