Guest House Daily Reflections

SEEK THE LORD AND YOU SHALL LIVE.  I find peace when I simply stay in the present moment and concentrate on God’s Loving Presence.  God keeps helping me and guiding me in each present moment.  This is why I only need to focus on this moment with receptivity to God and gratitude for being created.  God keeps saying to me:  I HAVE LOVED YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.  And then I realize again:  ONLY IN GOD IS MY SOUL AT REST.  Each moment of life is a sacred and loving moment. God is always embracing me.

Continuing Care & recovery

Our care for guests extends
beyond our campus.

A sustainable recovery plan is vital to success. The work of recovery begins in earnest when the client leaves our residential treatment. That’s where continuing care comes in. The return to life in ministry can be overwhelming, especially early in recovery. The Guest House plan offers a phased approach designed to reinforce the application of the clients’ learned skills and healthy habits in their daily life. The continuing care program encompasses both formal and informal interventions, opportunities to engage in ongoing didactic discussion groups with religious peers, as well as one-to-one counseling. Continuing care provides a way for those in recovery to share their challenges, as well as their successes along the way. Through planned, ongoing support, we offer encouragement for those who are in recovery and the opportunity to maintain steady progress and spiritual growth. And we can assure the leaders of the communities our clients are returning to that they will be supported by a thoughtful continuum of care.
