Recovery Thought of the Day - May 16th

Good Morning CR Family! Please see below for the recovery thought of the day.  Also, in case you were not able to tune in last night, here is the link to last night's CR Friday Night Video (CR Friday Night Video - May 15th).  We had a wonderful discussion about worship and recovery.

Connection Through Worship
On the video last night, one of the things that Brian and Pam D and I talked about is how worship is a wonderful way to connect to God.  Many times it seems like worship is one way, with us lifting up worship to God, however, the more I have thought about it, there has definitely been times were I have felt the holy spirit speaking to me and moving me through the act of worship.  Over the last couple of weeks, one of my favorite worship songs has been "Waymaker."  When I listen to this song, I am reminded of how great God is.  It reminds me of where I was in my life when I didn't acknowledge his never ending presence, it reminds me of the miracles God has worked in my life and how he has been the light in the darkness for me.  Today I would encourage you to watch the video from the following youtube link (Waymaker - Vanessa Campagna & Madelyn Berry) and to just quiet your minds and take in this song.
