Last Friday, the Center held a phase promotion celebration to honor and encourage the women as they complete one phase and move on to the next.
JoAnn Zajicek, director of the Center, started the afternoon off with these words from Psalm 25:
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.
These words, she said, are at the heart of LIFE Recovery – learning to walk in God’s path.
Many of the women echoed these sentiments in their comments as well.
