REFLECT

  1. Susan chose to attend a recovery meeting even in the midst of deep personal tragedy. When life becomes overwhelming, what choices do you tend to make and how might God be inviting you to choose differently?
  2. Susan's decision reflects a commitment to recovery that went beyond her emotional state. Where is God inviting you to remain committed, even when you don’t feel like it?
  3. Simply showing up became a place where grace could meet Susan in suffering. What is one small but faithful step you can take today to “show up” in your recovery?
