Life Recovery is not just a way of life; it's the path to the richest life possible. We are all fellow strugglers together as we battle addictions, dependencies, anxieties, depression, or difficult relationships that need healing. Each one of us faces our own unique battle.
God's vision for your life is far more profound than you can ever imagine. Spending as little as one minute a day praying, meditating, and being in God's presence can recapture that vision and equip you to live into it. The One Year Life Recovery Prayer Devotional is a resource that can help you do that. By spending time each day with the living God, you can grow in biblical wisdom and spiritual depth in order to overcome what seeks to control you.
Be free from what imprisons you. Each day, this devotional will prompt you to look to God for strength when you are weak―for hope when everything appears hopeless.

Stop Being Creative!
Yes, stop it with the creativity….for a while anyway. Being creative doesn’t get you published. Many very creative people never make a go of their writing career. Why? Because they’re so busy being creative, they’re not taking the time to plan their career. And many mediocre writers succeed because they’ve stopped being creative long enough […]
Pantsers, Plotters…and Flashers
I’ve previously mentioned pantsers and plotters as two commonly known ways of writing a novel. Plotters are those who outline their novel ahead of time and pretty much stick to the outline (with some bunny trails and replotting allowed).
