I am so grateful for the gift of TLI and to have been challenged by the discipline of participating fully in the program, as well as facing topics I would usually shy away from. I find peace in my life by surrendering to Jesus and trying not to worry or be anxious about things of this world. TLI has challenged me to go beyond my comfort zone of service to my parish and to Catholic in Recovery, and to share my leadership in the Edgefield County Chamber of Commerce in South Carolina. As Pope Francis has stated, “You can’t change politics watching from a balcony.” I commit to coming down from the balcony and participating in secular organizations in my community.
