Great Opportunity

I believe God always provides opportunities for us to grow and fulfill His purpose for our lives.  He won't force them on us; we have to respond to what He provides. 

I did a "walk about" of Cheyenne a few weeks back.  My purpose in doing a "walk about" was to introduce myself and learn more about how one would go about getting into a rehab center in this area.  I hit the usual places -- the local hospital, police station, sheriff's office, and Peak Wellness. 

Peak Wellness is the primary provider for learning how to live sober.  I learned they don't discourage a spiritual element in recovery but they do not encourage it either. 

After sharing my story with the Director and meeting with the chairman of the Board, I was invited to join the Board of Directors for Peak Wellness. 

This is a great opportunity for me to introduce Remedy to the local "addict" community.  As a Board member I have the opportunity to visit the detox center as well as the transition homes here in southeast Wyoming! 

No city lights or noise

These two readings from the devotional, Streams in the Desert, spoke to me…

“God trains his soldiers not I tents of ease and luxury but by causing them to endure lengthy marches and difficult service.  He makes them wade across streams, swim through rivers, climb mountains, and walk many miles with heavy backpacks.”  [April 10]

“Our souls must have times of fellowship with Him on the mountain and experience valleys of quiet rest in the shadow of a great rock.  We must spend some nights beneath the stars, when darkness has covered the things of earth, silenced the noise of human life, and expanded our view, revealing the infinite and the eternal.  All these are as absolutely essential as food is for our bodies.”  [April 11]
