Hello Tuesday

09/06/2026

If you feel like throwing in the towel and giving up, please don’t.

There are so many stories in the Bible of people who had to wait for their breakthrough. What if your breakthrough is right around the corner? The next journal entry could be the one. The next 1-day chip could be your last!

“And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans‬ ‭5:2-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Maybe nobody knows how heavy this week was for you.

You still went to work.
You still took care of everybody.
You still smiled.
You still said, “I’m good.”

But underneath it all, you’ve been carrying something that is wearing you down.

Here’s your reminder today:

You were never meant to heal alone.

Celebrate Recovery is a place where you can take off the mask. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to have everything figured out. And you definitely don’t have to “get better” before you walk through the doors.

Bring the hurt.
Bring the habit.
Bring the hang-up.
Bring the part of your story you’re still ashamed to talk about.

Jesus already knows… and He’s still calling you closer. ❤️

Recovery begins when we stop pretending we’re okay and become willing to let God and safe people into the places that hurt.

You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

Unforgiveness doesn’t punish them… it poisons you.

When someone hurts us, holding onto unforgiveness can feel justified. We replay what happened. We rehearse what we wish we had said. We wait for an apology that may never come.

But while they may have moved on… we’re still carrying it.

Unforgiveness can turn into:
• Resentment
• Bitterness
• Anger
• Isolation
• Distrust
• A constant need to replay the hurt
• Difficulty experiencing peace and joy

Forgiveness does not mean what happened was okay.
It doesn’t mean trust is automatically restored.
And it doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be boundaries or consequences.

Forgiveness means refusing to let yesterday’s hurt continue controlling today’s life.

Sometimes the person you need to forgive will never apologize.

Forgive anyway.

Not because they deserve access to you again… but because you deserve freedom from what happened to you.

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to work through the hurts that are sometimes too heavy to carry alone.

What could change in your life if you finally released the hurt you’ve been holding onto?
