What started as a desperate search for answers to the ongoing addiction in my family, I began to realize all the years of friendly advice, angry outbursts, interventions, rehabs, psychiatry and therapy appointments, ranting, crying, talking, and tough love were not stopping the downward spiral. As a Christian Mom, I’ve struggled with the embarrassment, shame, heartbreak, disappointment, and reality that I, alone, can’t fix it. Until I relinquished this whole addiction drama to God and took my “Self” out of the way I did not experience peace. I finally threw up my hands and God threw me a life line saying, “Now, let’s try this My way”. He waited for me to be ready to receive it and it took years worth of work. His Way, the book, was conceived from my many lessons of how to seek Him first when tackling this life long addiction problem with my child. It’s not a “how to recovery”, a self-help course, nor is it a quick fix formula for the line between recovery and relapse are extremely close. What this book does show is how God took me on a journey to discover His Peace amid the problem of any given day, His Comfort when feeling alone, and His Truths throughout His Word, all which lead to living life His Way. The most important aspect of this journey is the fact that it ultimately led me to a deeper, personal relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Person, and Holy Spirit within. His Way, the ministry, expounds upon the book, but it goes far beyond that to include all areas of life. I am excited to be on this journey with you.
