PT 1 of 2 - In this series I give you a little update/check in on what's going on for me spiritually and recovery wise. I also couldn't wait another week or two to show you my new chest piece tattoo so I wanted to gift you a little glimpse of it half way done ; ) It's not a huge piece but it does have huge meaning and the ending result is going to be so touching. Blessings to you my friend. Part 1 I give you my updates and Part 2 is dedicated to Matthew 7: 1-20 (entire chapter). Thank you for being open to listening to my Bible readings. They are very healing for me and I want to share these messages with you. What you feed your ears, mind, spirit, soul and body with reflects YOU in every aspect... Many of these passages confirm things in my life and give me positive direction about what I need to do to heal myself and keep focusing on faith and recovery. I am working on removing the plank in my eye so I am stable to reach my academic and career goals and eventually be a positive, healthy, abstinent figure to help others. For now, I can be honest about what is going on for me with hopes of helping others through my activism but I can't do one-on-one help how I once was. I am not in a place of recovery to do that which is why I am not open to emails here as stated many times... Only God can save me, and you, so I must keep building my faith like building blocks to have a strong and sturdy foundation... to be at home with God and with myself. I will be directing my energy to God, church, support groups - same one and new ones, spiritual music and messages, Bible readings, medical recovery appointments as always, my raw food diet, meditation, stretching/body work, nature, animals, volunteer work and anything that brings me peace, happiness and IMPROVED health - all to the best of my ability which means that which I am willing to do. Willpower is priceless. Faith is everything. God is the way!

Ps. Any Christian music or movie referrals welcome. I am trying to lead towards less polluting messages right now and more healing ones and am very moved by spiritual - and Christian - based music, books, movies, etc. I was just given THE SHACK by a man at church to start reading!
