My name is Mark Hills and a very close frien of mine, Greg, gave me my coin yesterday. We have been friends for many years and have shared our struggles and journey's for the past 13 years. God keeps bringing us closer together and I am Blessed by that. This Janurary I asked God for a word for the year, something I usually never do, he gave me the word "Revival". Great word, but what does that mean for me? Through many struggles and blessings this year, God has been slowly revealing what He meant. I have tried to be an encourager in others lives through the ministry of Celebrate Recovery and that is where I have found family. There is more than that and I beelieve with recieving this coin it is opening up the next step of my journey. I have fallen into some old behaviors because of my marital situation and while I rely on Jesus daily to give me strength, I have seen where I have let my armor sit in the closet. Today is a new day, I signed up for the challenge and look forward to what it will bring. I know I have to make some changes in my life to get there and I am willing to do that with God's help and the community I just entered in to. I look forward to this journey and the Brothers and Sisters in Christ that will be on the same journey. Have a Blessed Day,
Mark
Welcome to the challenge Mark. Thanks for sharing your story and your desire to make necessary changes in your life with renewed desire to put Jesus first in your life.
God has provided everything we need to win the battle. Put on the whole armor.
God bless you🙏🏻☝️
Welcome to the community Mark! You are in good company.
Mark,
It's a pleasure to meet you and read your testimony. I appreciate your words and openness of your heart. There are some very good people on this site. We all need the help of others and none of us should go it alone. Celebrate Recovery is a great program and embodies the concept of openness and having comrades next to us to challenge, support and lift us up when we fall. I'm grateful that Greg gave you a coin! Carry it daily and when tempted, reach for it to remind that God has made provision for the victory! Polish your armor, pick up your sword .. keep your shield near and go win the day! If you want some coins to give to others, send me a note / email from the site. God bless! Don coin 0001
You are an amazing man and friend Mark. How God brought us together 13 years ago is another story initself. I am feeling a revival also. Love this journey and you brother.
