INTRODUCTION TO "R"

For most of us, our past experiences in life have written themselves deeply into our brain; we so often can think in the NOW but as though we were still in the PAST.  We can react today as though we did indeed react to events 20, 30, 40 or more years ago.  Seemingly always stuck, always reacting to today's events AS THOUGH we were still in the past, always hearing that tape playing deep within us, a tape which can skewer our perceptions of what is really happening today!

In this area we want to begin seeing our past AS GOD SEES IT, and to begin to let Him re-write a new version of the past, now with Him very present.  This process leads to understanding and freedom!
