Beginning Recovery and a New Life of Purpose and Profound Hope

Yes, after a hard fall semester, I am now officially on winter break.

The goals for this break are to recover from all the mental trauma I have been through and turn my life around to live a life of purpose and profound hope.

There is no better day to start than today.

For these next few weeks, I am going to dedicate my time to addiction recovery, self-work to discover my true purpose and identity, becoming the confident man I can be, and of course, living to serve God well and His children that He has placed for me.

I have done some good work thus far to recreate that bond with the Lord and to grow closer to Him again. Now, I shall deny myself and surrender to Him by giving up the things that I regularly do for myself and replace those things with doing a good deed for other people and doing great service for Jesus Christ.

With that, I am surrendering to His will and allowing God to guide me towards addiction recovery and acts of living out the purpose and hopeful life He has for me, and I will do what He asks of me to get there.

The big thing is that I have a bright future, and God has everything set for my bright future. Therefore, I shall surrender to the Lord and be with Him to have that firm belief that He has a bright future for me and that it is far better than anything I have ever imagined.

Of course, the biggest thing I must work on is running to God when I am tempted to give into lust or any other unhealthy coping mechanism. I shall do this by stopping anything I am doing and find a place to be with Jesus and ask Him to deliver me from the temptation. The more I do this, the more I will strengthen my spirit and I will have more control to resist the temptations that come my way, as God will give me all the support I need to make this all possible.

Along with that, I will be able to fulfill my time to grow closer to God and to live out the purposeful life He has for me.

In addition, I will use this time to really grow closer with my brothers in Christ, improving my relationships with you all as a group, and with you personally as well, as this will help me to become a greater part of the community and I can relate with you all on many levels.

Today is the day that I begin to surrender my life to the Lord once and for all and to live out that purposeful and hopeful life that God has for me.

It all starts now and I shall take it one day at a time and have patience throughout the process and I will be in a better mood day by day.

Thank you all and I am looking forward to growing closer with you all and deepening my relationship with God.

May God Bless you all on this beautiful Sunday🕊️🙏🏻💗✝️
