And it's just as addicting. Isn't it time to stop running finally and unload the stress of a neurotic, destructive busyness and just listen to God? Deal with what he's been chasing you for all these years, and you won't have to run nearly so much. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%205:23&version=NIV 2009-10-01T17:40:01-05:00 Paul tells Timothy to drink wine in this verse.

You are needed as God's instrument of Grace to others, but you need healing yourself. You are not alone. Turn to those who understand your pain and can offer help...ministry parents and their kids who have been there.
