Step Study Groups

We have several step study groups going on and it is so encouraging to see people coming towards the corps as I'm leaving from the afternoon women's bible study - knowing that they are going to gather and apply God's word to their life just as we did.

Mary Ellen leads a group of 6-8 women and they have been going through the Recovery Principles together. The Recovery Principles take the Beatitudes and applies those verses to the 12 steps. The Step Study goes through each step/principle and the ladies are about to start their fourth step.

They are thinking of going on a 4th step retreat where you go up into the mountains and work on your past/your list . . . .your searching moral fearless inventory.

So what would be on mine? Well, this year, I've been learning that I tend to be a little . . .um, co-dependant . . . and I've been working on that. It was hard - and a little weird - to have Bible studies springing up all around me. And I'm not leading them or even going to them. In fact, when I finally did go to one that I wasn't leading, it was like a breath of fresh air - and I find myself eagerly looking forward to it each week.

So my codependancy is coming under control but it only means that I can now handle more things on my list . . .great!

What's on YOUR list . . .your searching moral fearless inventory?
