Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

…and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.
Matthew 6:12 TLB
I’m not in a position to do much testifying right now. I was hoping to finish this year out telling you that I spent all of 2013 without putting a single drop of alcohol in my body, but that didn’t happen. I did get through my first full holiday season (from Halloween till New Years) sober for the first time in I don’t know how many years. I don’t know how much scripture memory has had to do with that, cause I’ve done that a lot and couldn’t stay sober and I’m doing a lot of other things I’ve never done before. And I think they’re really important. I’m not gonna quit doing one of them, because that might be the one that is absolutely key to my sobriety and I’m not taking a chance on it. But back to not being in a position to testify. I’m struggling right now. My emotions are all over the place. I’m staying sober so far, but I’ve never been able to get through this type of thing sober in the past and now I just have to. I’m sticking close to my support system, because I know I can’t do it by myself. I’ve tried that before, so that’s where I’m at right now. I have almost 7 months, but I am struggling. Sorry, I couldn’t say I’m just completely awesome today. I’m just not. Oh, and sorry I’m so late. I have been working on this verse the whole time. But during winter break I didn’t get a chance to get on here once.
Just happen to come back to check out how many posts there has been and read yours. You can bet I will be lifting you up in prayer. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. What you are doing is hard, but soooo worth it!
I really like your verse, too. 🙂 I think I will memorize for myself!
Thanks, Mickey! I’m thinking we might both be friends of Bill W.?
Shellie, I know it has been over a year since your post. I am praying for your sobriety. It is a daily choice. Praise Him every tiny step of the wy.

This has been the hardest year of my life, my marriage is in a very rocky place as my husband wrestles with God and I sit by helplessly through his rebellion. God knew how much I would need these verses far better than I did! It has been these verses that have kept me faithful in spirit to my husband when my flesh was ready to leave and fulfill my own will. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Y’all have been in my thoughts all day as you celebrate. I asked my husband to listen to my verses this evening. We’ll have a little celebration dinner on our own, but it’s not the same. I pray the Lord brings forth much fruit from your time together today in Houston and from the verses we all memorized over the course of 2013.
