Out of the dark/the other side of the dark place

My new song reveals what it’s like to work a program like celebrate recovery.  In recovery, leaving the dark place is often not an instantaneous thing.  The lies one believes can enslave them to become stuck in one or more hurts, habits, or hang ups.  Coming out of that darkness takes time and healing and allowing the Lord to lead us to the root of that destructive thought pattern or behavior. In my own recovery from fear, codependency and anxiety I can easily get swallowed up by the sea of thoughts and feelings in my head that are chaotic at times and have no order and many times are not true.  God, through recovery, allows me to give a voice to those thoughts and feelings so I can put them to rest.  Then I can move forward in my life making decisions based on God’s truth rather than making decisions based on FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) an acronym from my husbands sponsor.  It is one of the most freeing things I have ever done and I am on the journey everyday to become more free to live out the life that God intended for me.  I also have become more free to receive the fact that I am his child and that he loves me so much.  He wants me to be free and wants me to thrive.  I have been paralyzed far too long.  
I Peter 2:9 -But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
