Guest House Daily Reflections

September 8, 2024

MY SOUL IS THIRSTING FOR GOD, THE GOD OF MY LIFE. WHEN WILL I COME  TO THE END OF MY PILGRIMAGE AND ENTER THE PRESENCE OF GOD. God is the Source of all joy and Peace in my life. As I become more aware of this, I discover the purpose of my life: to experience God’s Love and to bring this LOVE to others. This awareness quenches my thirst for God and deepens my experience of God in each moment of life. I must not let anything block my knowledge of God in each daily moment. INTO YOUR HANDS, O LORD, I COMMEND MY SPIRIT. And yes- ONLY IN GOD IS MY SOUL AT REST.

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.
