As part of the 40 Days I was given the position of 'Small Group Coordinator' and in that capacity was invited by a member of the Church who stuttered to come to his stutter support group and talk to his small group about them attending his small group during the campaign.
During the meeting a time was given to pause and reflect on 'how to deal with their stutter and overcome obstacles in their lives'. During this time I had time to reflect on my own life and God spoke to me and and asked "Why are you not helping people with addictions?"
Following that meeting I committed to God to do something to reach those still suffering from the negative effects of addiction and other compulsive behaviours. I then began looking for Christian Recovery material to use for this purpose. I purchased Christian Recovery material from Saddleback Church in the form of Celebrate Recovery material and proceeded to prepare to begin a Christian Recovery Ministry. During preparation God made it clear he wanted to do something different and so one day sitting at the kitchen table at home God gave me the vision for Living Life Recovery. At that time he also gave me the Logo and the slogan 'Recovery is about living life.. Living life is more than just recovery..'
Since then I have been preparing for LLR and waiting on God to show me the steps He wanted taken with it. In 2008 Living Life Recovery is now a reality.
